" V PLAT1 SHOUTH NEBRAKSA.. THURSDAY, FKI3. 16. 1S71. Dept. Sheriff Moore Lai one of his ears badly frozen yesterday while coming from Weeping Water, where he hd been on official business. Messrs. Goss & Co., of Weeping Water, have errccted a corn cracker at that place which will use up the corn at the rate of fifteen bushels an hour. It is run by horsepower. Mr. Henry Robertson, the most popu lar man in L'uttsmonth. walks with a gold headed cane to-day which cost nearly $ 400.OO. The peoples representatives at Lincoln r.rc after the peoples rulers at Lincoln with inumerable little sharp sticks. David is i ow to be investigated on the subject of the R. R. lands, etc. The wholesale trade of I'lattMiiouth is rapidly increaiin, and is already greater than that of any other city on the upper Missouri except, possibly, Omaha. By reference to our advertising col umns it will be seen that the Building Committee of School District Xo. C, Rock BIuuji, advertise for sealed propos als for building a stone School House. Here it an opening for some enterprising builder. We noticed recently a large lot of Ag ricultural Machinery from the wholesale house of Mathews, Donnelly it Co. of this city, at the freight office of the B. & M. in Nebraska, billed to dealers west of here. This firm is composed of enter prising gentlemen, wao are ever on the alert to accommodate western dealers in Agricultural Implements, Hirdware, Stoves, etc. Any one who thinks times are hard and money scarce, should have been at the Fairthelastcveningandseen the fives tens, twenties, and fifties floating around loose, after the excitement got up over the Prize Saddle and Prize Can?. We have received a latter from Weep ing Water detailing the occurrence re cently noted in the Herald relative to the kidnarp;ng at that place. As it is simply a reiteration of what has alreadj been published, containing no new fea tures, wa leave it out. Merget new building ia nearly ready for occupation. The first floor is to be occupied be Mr. O'Brien as a boot and shoe store. The pupils of Naomi Institute have decided to give an exhibition at the t'o'-n of the present term, which will be in about three weeks. Due notice will be given through the columns of the Herald. The "Otoes" are after Dr. Miller with a sharp ftick. They publish a card in the Liueoln Journal in reply to his attack on them. Miller has his hands full trying to keep the democracy in the trace. They seem determined to break Tip the old moth cater, party, and we rather think they will be successful re gardlcss of Millers ravings. ?25.0O0.0O worth of goods, consisting of Lien's wear, piece goods, clocks, watches and jewelry, boots and shoes, hats, cans and notions my entire stock, I now offer at eastern wholesale prices for cah.

Stadei.mann. riatt.-mouth, January CO, 1871. jan30d2tw2m la our kurried notice yesterday of the Fair and Festival we failed to mention the fact that much praise is due Mr. Conrad Sehlater and lady. Miss Fitzger ald, Mrs. Coats,' Mrs. Sehutt, Messrs. Burrows, David Fitzgerald, Neville, Shea, Miakella, Riordan, and others whose names we did tot learn, for their unceasing efforts to make everything pleasant and agreeable, and to make a success of the Fair. Macoy Lodge No. 21, A. F. & A: M. have rented the hall in Gyger's new block, where they will hereafter hold their meetings. Capt. Marshall has leased the firs floor in Gyger's new block, where he will remove the postoffice in a few days. II. J. Strcight & Co. and L. Brom k Co. will occupy the room with him. The Nebraska City people have a clue to the rascals who recently fired the town, and have strong hopes of bringing them to justice. Three men with some money arrived in Nebraska City recently. It created quite a sensation. Two horse thieves were recently caught near Kansas City and immedi ately hung up to dry. Henry Robertson, Esq., has just opened out a large lot of fine old Edin burgh Ale, the best ever brought west of the Mississippi. Bwbertson feels liberally inclined since ho sports a $400 cane, and he offers nothing but tLc best to his customers. Geo. S. Harris, Esq., the energetic Land Commissioner of the Burlington and Missouri River Railroad Company, lias just issued a large printed sheet con taining well executed maps and a com plete description of the country from P.urlingtou to Lincoln, together with a host of rcasous why people should emi grate West, and especially to Iowa and Nebraska. As we predicted two years go would be the case, Mr. Harris is do ii:g more to advertise Nebraska than al thu immigration societies in the west, The sheet above mentioned is designed f,r gratuitous circulation in the caster i nnd European countries. Col. Vif juain has started a new town on the Rcpublicn river, i:i this State cil!l N.ipo!. : ! Superintendent Patterson Las called a ; Teacher's Institute to be held in this I city on thu 20tli iast. This is a mov in : the right direction, and we hope to see ; a general attendance of the teachers of i the county. It will consist, v.-e preriuie ofa kind of interchange of v.ews upou j various questions relative to school iu- terests, that each one may learn the ! j good in methods adopted by others and j 1.1.11 i f the oaa in metuoJsoi tneir own.

Now in order that the Commissioners may know the wishes of the taxpayers of the county on thu question, it is recom mended that the voters of the county meet in their respective precincts on Sat urday, the 18th inst.. and select a dele gate to repregant their interests before the board at said special session. It has boon proposed by some to give $100,000 to each of the abeve named roads. The Commissioners arc willing to hear any other and all propositions on this question, before any deSnate action be taken. By order of the County Commission ers, this Mh day of Feb. 1ST1. dlwl I. Pollard, Clerk. Mr. Editor I desire to express, through the columns of your paper, my incere thanks to the many friends who took such an active part in my behalf at the late fair and festival, held at Mr. Fitzgerald's Hall. I fully appreciate their kindness in bestowing upou me their beautiful gift. Ella M. Crocker. The Plattsuiouth Dramatic Association will make their first apearancc before th public at Fitzgerald's Hall on the 22d inst- A pair of hordes belonging to Totten wore stolen from Bethleham last Thurs day night. They are a fine pair of grays, worth $f,i0. Mr. Totten offers a liberal reward for their recovery. We learn that some kind of disease is prevalent among the hogs in the south ern part of this county, which has already killed nearly all of them in some locali ties. Some "brute of a man speaks o our modern ladies as knowing more about ornamental dress than anything else, and says.: "They toil not, neither do they spin, yet Solomon in all his glory was not arrajid like one of these." - $3,250.24 was paid for "grading the Capital square" in L neoln. Tucker wants to know who carried the money to the contractor who executed the work, lie thinks the grading was done wheo the ground wis made. Porter, Myers Doom, Sotnmerlad and Rhodes, have been appointed a commit tee by the House of Representatives to inquire -as to w hether any undue influ ences were used to secure the acceptance r ccrtain railroads. The committee jiaTC p0WCr to send for persons and pa pers. and will begin their sittings at Omaha on the 20th inst. Senator Thayer has succacded in ae curing the passage of a bill authorizing the U. P. R. R. Co. to issue its bonds to aid in the construction of a bridge across the Missouri River at Omaha. Tieket3 to the Entertainment given by the Dramatic Club at Fitzgerald's Hall on the cvcirng of the 221., can be pro cured at the Postoffiee, Ilinchman's Drug Store, Buttery's Drug Store, Brooks House and the Slater's Jewelry Store. Notwithstanding the general cry of dull times, preparations are being made for a large amount of building in this city during the coming season. D. W. Lewis, Esq. , has recently purchased val uable lots on Sixth Street, upon which he proposes to erect buildings early in the spring. The Nebraska City News, advises the new editor of the Rulo Register to "let the past dead bury their dead,'' or in other words, that the past record of the Democratic party don't stand the light very well. The fellow who walked into the house of one of our citizens this morning and made himself generally disagreeable for the 5paee of fifteen minutes by going into different rooms without btnS invi ted, will do well to make himself "scarce" hereafter, if he does not seek an extra button hole in his hide. Mr. Frank Carruth, of Chicago, has leased tho 6uit of rooms over Vivian's store, corner Main and Fifth streeW, where he will open a first class Photo graph Gallery in a few days. Car penters are at work putting in the prop er lights and otherwise fitting up the rooms. Mr. Carruth is an artist of twenty years practice, and is master pf his business. He comes to our city to make a permanent home, and should re ceive such kupportas his merit deserves. Dr. Blue of the Nebraska City Xeics says : "When we passed through Platts uiouth the othor day, we could not but admire what the B. & M. Railroad in Nebraska, had done in the last six months rip-rapped all the river bank, built a large freight and station house, accumulated a world of ties for the con tinuation of the road beyond Lincoln. and infused more life and money into Plattsuiouth than all other industries and enterprise put together. Will rail roads pay?" -m Thr Legislature has three days of th? albtel forty Jyct loft. AN INKAiiOl'a HUCTtn. Editor Herald : Upon the complaint and information of Mrs. Wiikey , J udge Child issued a search warrant yesterday, commanding tue Sheriff to rcarch the premiss occupied j by one " Mother Butts," which is the J upper part of the two ttory building near the mill in the south p--rt of town, alio the negro quarters jn the north j art of town ; both places known to be the re . m . i.mr.i sort ot roujjns. At ttie sapi jioiucr uttji" was fun,l bed quilts, shawl. f reaf"' o c etc., lo- hlS to Mrs. ilcy, which were before His Honor, and identified L-V MfS' WHfccy and OtkejS a? her prop- j erty. On Mother Butts' bed was a sheet marked " Brooks House." Nono cf the property mentioned iu the warrant was found at tho negro quarters, though a part of the property misr-ing is not yet found. Upon complaint of Mrs Wilkie, Judge Child issued a warrant for the arrest of " nusuanu, wincii was served vy A'epmy onmu ivioore, wno took. me body of WilLcy bef. ire His Honor on t he- 1 I a. v-' 1 IT -mm , J 1 charge of threatening to break the pea . e. An examination was Lad which showl that the prisouer was in the hatit of shamefully maltreating his wife ; that on one occasion he struck her and caused blood to start from her mouth and nose, and thon threatened to stamp her if she j did not stop crying- He came home last Sunday evening, found the table set, but Mrs. Wiikey had gone out to visit a tick lady, she leaving word with Mrs. Riggs, who lives in tho upper part of the house, to tell her husband where she had gone, and that the would be back aoon. He, actuated by the devil or some other fel low, went to smashing up everything in discriminately, tore and cut her clothing, then went after her, came home with her and told her to see what he had done, and that if he caught her out of the house he would kill her. Mrs. Riggs interfered when he was smashing things up, and told him he ought not to do so. He ordered her out, and abused and threatened her in a disgraceful manner. By her advice, Mrs. Wiikey went to a neighbor's to stay. When she came back in the morning she found herself robbed of all her clothing, except what hhe had with her, and knowing his habits she knew where to look for her goods, and caused the search warrant to be issued, with the resulc as before stated. JuJge Chi'd held the prisoner for trial in the District Court, and required him to give bond of five hundred dollars to keep the peace, in default of which he was taken to the county jail. J. T7. Johnson, Sheriff. 5IARRII. McGiriRE Robertson At the resi dence of the bride's father, in this city, at 2 o'clock p. M. , February 13, 1871, by Rev. John A. IIaye3, Mr. Michael McGuire and Miss Ellen Robertson, both of Plattsuiouth. The ceremony, which was very inte resting, was witnessed by a large number of friends, who had assembled to con congratulate the happy couple at the termination of the weary pilgrimage of single blessedness, and safe arrival at the Mecca of their blissful hopes. At 4 p. ,m. they started cast on their wedding tour. Our congratulations and best wishes are extended to the happy pair. We are requested to announce that the Dramatic Club that is to perform at Fitzgerald's Hall on the evenining of the of the 22d. is in no manner connected with the troupe known as the 'Amateurs' The Dramatic Club is composed of a number cf our citizons who desire to amuse and instruct, without going bo far as to be denominated a theatrica troupe. Wo hope "Mike's" trip to the other state will furnish some new topics for him ; and niay he be able, when he re turns, to ".7i"i a longer jari" and tel a bigger story than ever. And if he is as attentive to Ellen as he always has been to the "boys," she will never have reason to complain, and they will pass through life without a cloud to darken their pathway or an obstacle to prevent their happiness. In conclusion, we say, in the language of the poet : "May IIaven phower its choicest gifts And strew their path with choicest flowers May livinc aacels watch aud guide Their footsteps through this worl d of ours.' The Y. M. C. A. Hall was w. 11 filled yesterday at 3:30 p. m. to hear Rev. Mr. Parker of Lincoln, on the subject of "What is Uiiivorsa'iism, and why should it be preached." His position, summed up in brief, amounts to about this: that Universalism is a belief that God will not permit any portion of his children (who are the whole peoplo of the earth) to suffer tho pangs of ffrrria? punishment and that this doctrin should be preached because in will make men better and happier. Mr. Parker claimed for the Universalists that they were the only religious sect that behaved that every one that sinned should suffer for it, and that there was no escape therefrom, but that at the same time they dia not be lieve that fullering and punishment was to be eternal and without end. Hon. W. R- Davis, Postmaster at Seward, goes for the editor of the Atlas in a card. There appears to be some difference of opinion between them in regird to distribution of pipers. From the present appearance of the weather, we fear the Ground Hog that came out on the 1st inst. saw his shadow, and, according to the old adage, has gone back to remain six weeks. By reference to a communication in to-days paper, it will be seen that the Commissioners will hold a special session on the ISth inst., to hear from the vari ous precincts relative to submitting a proposition to vote bonds. A CAIt:. To those who so kindly and cheerfully expressed their preference for me in the late 'Vane" contest, at the opening of l'itzgtreld's Hall, and by that preference presented nic, as a mark of thir respect, the highly prized cane, my profound cut thanks and well wishes I hereby ten der to them. The occasion was one of the "oases in my life's desert." To mo the "cane" shall be both "scrip and staff;" and when "life's-fitful fever ia oe'r" and I go to 'that bourne from whence no traveler e'er returns,'and where neither "scrip or staff" are found, may my children look back with pleasure and pride upon the 7th, Sth and Ptb days of February, 1&7J. Hfnry Ror.F!VT-rN. ! A CAKU. Editor Herald : I desire, through your paper, to express to the people, who by their presence, labor and tup port, rendered our fair and festival uch a grand success, my heartfelt thanks and gratitude. To the members of the Catholic Church, whoso interest iu the prosperity of their institutions is coeval with my own, I fiel that this expiession is un necessary ; but to my dissenting friends ef other religious denominations, whose aid aud sympathy have been so liberally extended, I feel indebted beyond ex pression. To the grand musical talent, so gener onsly tendered by our own city, Omaha and Council Bluffs to the various committees, for their kind and untiring attention to everything in general, 1 can only say that I fully ap preciate their effective labors, but cannot fully express that appreciation. To the B. it M. R. R. Company, their officers and agents, both in Iowa" and Nebraska, for the extreme kindness extended to the excuriionists to tho Fair to the liberal Press of Plattsuiouth, for it's valuable services, I return my warmest thanks. In conclusion, let me express the hope that the kind feeiirgs displayed by the several religious denominations represen ted at the opening of Fitzgerald's Hall mar be recognized, fostered and appre ciated; that friendship and harmony, strong and lasting may pervade all chari table unde: takings as they have -harac terized our Catholic Fair and Festival. The receipts are something in the neigh borhoou of fourteen hundred dollars. John A. Hayes. Pastor. Plattsmouth, Feb. 11th, 1871. SiHSATOR snELOON. The Omaha Herald speaks as follows of Senator Sheldon; f this county : "Senator Sheldon is entitled to the thanks of every man, woman and child in the State for his firm and determined course in pushing investigations of State crimes and corruptions. So is every other independent Republican who docs the same thing, and we take the liberty of thanking them for their service in the name of gocd men of all parties." Col. Doane and lady arrived from Burlington this morning. Geo. S. Harris, Esq., the man who has sold more land than all the real estate agents west of the Mississippi river, came over from Burlington this morning. A. Tuxbury, Esq., has been appoint ed Mayor of Nebraska City, vice W'm. E. Dillon, resigned. Tuxbury is A No. 1 man, and will make a good Mayor. All attorneys, resident of the city of Plattsmouth, are requested to meet at the office of Fox & Wheeler, on Satur day evening, February 18th, 1.871, at 7 o'clock p. m., to take into consideration matters of general interest to the pro fes ion. Mau-Cjuett & Strong, Fox & Wheeler, G. S. Smith. Plattsmouth, February 14, 1871. We were mistaken in saying that Mr. Ten Eick was defendant in the case of the Winneshiek Insurance Conpany. The points in the c-? are as stated in our item except that Mr. Ten Eick was not the defendant. Mr. J. L. Edwards, editor of the Paw nee Trihune, called at the Herald Sanctuui this morning. We regret that we were absent at the time, and hope friend Edwards will call again. Rosewater's bill regulating the prac tice of medicine in this State has been referred to the Committee on Highways, Bridges and Roads. Dr. Con vers, of the M. P. R. II.. was in the city this morning on his way to Lincoln. He informs us that work on his road is progressing rapidly, aud that the track is going Lincolnward at tbe rate of half to three fourths of a mile a day. He has already several box and flat cars on the Nebraska side, and has two mor'! locomotives on the way. The Jid!and will soon be one of the institutions of the State, if it has been slow in construction- The man Wiikey, spoken of in Sheriff Johnson's communication, has proved himself a disgrace to the brute creation, with which he is intimately connected. lie attempted to proyc that he was or dinarily a quiet man, which only made his case tha more aggravated . The man who i.i quiet among men and reserves his passion for a display upon her whom he has vowed to "love and cherish," is too contemptible an object to be classed as a man. The Chronicle says the opening of Fitzgerald's Hall in this c'ty reminds it of Pedicle's "bridge" story. -Quite likely. Tho opening of buildings like Fitzgerald's Hall in Plattsmouth natur ally makes a Nebraska City man feel like he is in a "wilderness." Come again, Watcn. Hi (cli Yon r Horse. Three runaways took place yestcrds. Two of them were the result of the teams not being hitched, but left stand ing, to take care of themselves. The orders of the police are to watch closely and arrest all persons that leave their teams unhitched on the streets. This is an excellent order, and since its enforcement tho number of runaways have considerably diminished. Omaha Herald.

The editor re tarts that the subscriber has no reason for complaint, for that is all it has cost him so far. A Yankee wagered a Dutchman that he could swallow him. The Dutchman lay down upon a board, and the Yankee bit his toe severely- The victim yelled with pain and told him to stop. "Why, ye 'tarnal fool," said Jonathan, "ye don't think I'm going to swallow ye hull. do ye?" The same fellow wagered an other Dutchman that he could throw him across the Chicago river. He pitched him some ten or fifteen feet into the water, aud he swam to the shore and claimed the stakes. "No you don't," said the Yankee resolutely; "do you think I'm going to give it up so? I'll do itf I try all day!" St. Valentine was around yesterday, and saw "a right sir.nrt chance" of tha youre folks. Tbe Excurvloit t Plnttitiiouth. On Board tiik Trai February 8, 1871. J Col. P.

A petition is being circulated asking for the establishment of Cro limits on Main street. It is but justice to the men who have invested their money in valuable buildings on Main street that they receive some protection. Won't somebody please steal some-t-iing. or get up a h'ght, or do something that will give us an item 'f It is "awful" dull. Should the different railroads now in contemplation through Cass county be constructed, she will be the richest county iu the State and tho best sup plied with railcoads; and we sec no good reason why they may not all be built, and that speedily. Chance Harris, for a long time con nected with the local department of the Council Bluffs Times, has taken his de parture for the land of saint.-: Later Day fellows.- He bids an affectionate adieu, through the Times, to his friends, and gives all his enemies an opportunity to exercise that righteous act of forgiv ness. The "Fat Contributor" d;shed out "Injun Meal" to his audience last even ing in a way that seemed to please them much. His method of lecturing is quite novel, aa well as his method of adver tising. He had a fair house, consider ing the other meetings in the city ; and while he may not have fully met the expectation of soma (owing to their ex pecting too much, probably), yet every one in the audience felt at the close that they had their money's worth. The Omaha papers and lawyers are just now engaged iu discussing the impeachment question. It is claimed by some that an officer cannot be im peached for what he may have done during his former term of office, while others claim the reverse; and some claim that he could evad the sentence of an impeachment court by resigning at the moment it was ready to be pronounc ed.

From the Erownville Advertiser. Til Sit. I.onia A XIr:i3tn Trunk Itailront). Mr. Editor: In compliance with your request I furnish you the following iformation for publication relative to the "St. Louis it Nebraska Trunk Rail road. Desiiim to avoid the expenso and trouble of a special election, 1 did not present the matter to the County Com missioners at their last session, at which they were pleased to submit thequestion to the riv r precincts those interested in the construction of the road. Feeling sure that an election would be held early in the spring to elect Delegates to the Constitutional Convention, 1 thought the matter could then be submitted to the people without any extra expense. The "St. Louis Sc Nebraska Trunk Railroad Company," is a corporation organized under the laws of this State having for its object the construction of a railroad, as near as practicable, along the west bank of the Missouri river, from a connection with Atchison and Nebraska Statj line, to an intersection with the Union Pacific Railroad, at Omaha, and ultimately, in connection with other similar enterprises, continu ing along the Missouri liver to the north ern bouudry of the State. The impor tance and magnitude of this enterprise, and the fact that it is but a short link in a chain of reads leading from St. L)uis north and west of us, as well a giving a direct line of rail to the Gulf of Mexico, has lung been seen and appre ciated by observing men, and great anxiety felt for the constrution of the mad. The friends of the enterprise, and especially those having it in charge, have spent no ordinary amount of time, labor and individual means to work up and make it a success. A combination of uneontroluble circumstances however, has prevented the completion of the work before this. Recently, when it wa known that the Hon. James F. Joy, of the Michigan Central Railroad, had ob tained contred. and was completing the Atchison and Nebraska Railroad up to our southern State line, the Board 5f Directors of the Trunk road solicited him to make a proposition on which he would build the roaJ to a connection with the Omaha anl Southwestern Railroad, either at Nebraska City or the Platte rivr. Mr. Joy has made a proposition. which the Trunk Board has accepted, so for as it has power. The proposition is as follows: "That aid shall be triven by the differ ent counties, in either county or pre cinct bonds, in the fallowing amounts:" Richardson County, $100,000 Nemaha " 1o0,0m Otoe " 150,000 Cass " 15( ,oo ) The bonds to bear S per cent, interest, to run not more than twenty -ears, and to be placed in the hands of a third par ty to be turned over to Mr. Joy when the road is completed and cars running through the locality issuing the bond, and that at the time of the turning ovtr the bonds to Mr. Joy all interest coup ons then due shall be returned to the county or precinct issuing the same. The road to be completed, equipped and running as a first class railroad bv the 31st day of December, 1S71." these terms being complied with Mr. Joy stands prepared to enter into a contract to build the road. While before the public in explana tion of the features of this enterprise, I desire to say further, that whatever min ; he th- :t'-rtuinvd ly ir.divid- j Office Co. ferrr. als cr localities 1 liberality of thi us to tilt; libeia'iiy or il- s p;-o-o.-,:tion. it i the only one before, or known to the Board, whereby this much needed read can, or -,, i ,.,,.t i ti, or ill be constructed. The proposition comes from a ma:i well kiunn to the people of tho west as the most reliable and successful railroad builder in th; United States. The people have confi dence in him, that he will do just what he say, and that if he takes hold of this enterprise he will build the road, and that bpeedilv. Rout. ,V.

A clergyman of this city suggests that our new Constitution should prohibit for ever any legislative enactment that will exempt any church property from taxa tion. He argues that all propeity exept cemeteries and State property, slwuld be taxed equally, and no avenue left open for any denomination that might gain the ascendency in the State, to make do nations, or favor with exemptions, their particular claw.
