"Gabe," who has occasionally male his appearance in our city, has finally been confined at the lunatic a-y.uni. There is a large amount of corn in this County yet, which will probably be held over until after seeding time.

A former resident of this city is now working the streets in St. Joseph, with n policeman to look on and escort him to and from his meals and lodging. We were mistaken in Faying that Judge Child refused to grant the ha beas corpus writ in the case of the va grants confined in ti e county jail. The application wa.i not made formally, and consequently could not be denied.

Some years since Morton wa.9 suddenly called west oa a buffalo hunt, and now Dr. 3Iiller has urgent business outside the State, beyond the reach of the Investigation Committee. The telegraph announces that the name of J. J. Hochstetler has been sent into the Senate as Postmaster at Ne braska City. A gentleman of this city was recently endeavoring to enjoy an evening in the company of a young lad upon whom he called, but found a serious obstacle in the person of her stern father, who at length ventured to very plainly intimate that the hour foi retiring had arrived. " I think you are correct, my dear mi," returned the unabashed young man. 'J We have been waiting to have you go to bed for over an hour." A pair of overshoes were found on Fifth street a few day.? ago. The own er can get them by calling on Marshal Murphy and paying for this notice. We think our Lincoln correspondent must be mi.-taken when he asserts that the leaders of the investigation were all bitter opponents of the location of the capital at Lincoln, and that the invetiga tion move i a blow at the prosperity of Lincoln. We kcow but little about the other members of the Committee, but our correspondent is certainly wrong in placing Senator Sheldon as an opponent f f Lincoln interests. They had a fireuian's festival at Ne braska City recently, at which $I.0 were spent in voting a watch to a young lad-. That was doing well for a small place, but the people of Plattsmouth vote $ 400 on a walking stick. They have no Fitzgerald Hall at Nebraska City, if they have a howling wilderness. The holi Is voted in aid of the Bur lington Si Southwestern K. It. through Iowa, are said to be of no account in consequence of certain reservations made in the vote not recognized by the stat utes. Plattsmouth takes the leal in all things, botli in a social and business as pect. Since our ma-queraJc, the papers in all the adjacent towns are arguing masquerades in their respective localities. The Lincoln Journal announces that the B. & M. company have already com menced sending out material to the end of the track. They "mean business." The Nebraska City Chronicle advises the commissioners of Otoe county to adopt the same plan pursued by the com missioners of Cass in regard to the rail road bond question. Nearly two thousand dollars of School House Fund money was paid into the hunds of City Treasurer Hinchman yes terday, and not a dollar of it was loft this morning. The Dcs Moines Stulcs7nan has gons to hunt Jim Fisk's Woodbine. Hon. D. McCaig has been in the city for a day or two. lie is farming on an extensive tcale, and has one of the finest firms in Cass county. He will seed a l.ugs tract of land the present season with tame grasses. The refusal of Gov. Butler to deliver rp the rain Lincoln, who was arrested fjr rollir.g a jewelry store in Pittsburg, upon a requisition from. Gov. Gear, is creating no little talk. Wc suppose the Omaha Herald has reference to Ilawke, Dillion, Conger, etc, wherf it speaks of "radical corruption. Geo. S. Smith, Esq., lectures at Nao mi Institute Wednesday evening. Jas. F. Joy has recently concluded negotiations for constructing the St Louis and Keokuk railroad. Attorney General Roberts is becoming- quite popular at th capital by his f.r,.rrnwl pnursc and unbiased opinions delivered on important matters. J "RADICAL tOKKl'PTIUX." Does the Omaha Herald have refer ence to the fact that every Democrat in the Home except two voted agaiust the impeachment resolution, when it cries "Radical Corruption?" A l-nOVISIOSAL HKI'lRMl'. At a caucus held at Bordeaux 0:1 the night of the l.jth, of a majority of the delegates, it was decided to establish a Provisional Republic with Thiers as President, Favre as Premier, and Duke de Cases as Minister of Foreign Affairs. WALL l'APEK. There has been much complaint in our city that no one kept a full assort ment of wall papers. O. F. Johnson has put an end to that cry by opening up about tji thousand rolls of the bot papers ever brought to the west. He bought in New Yoik and can sell at the lowest prices- His stock is the largest ever brought to this market and is com posed of almost all grades and of every imaginable pattern. Didn't Mean It. We mentioned the fact, at the t'uie of the occurrance, that Representative Por ter, of Nemaha County, assailed Presi dent Grant's Administration in his speech at the Senatorial banquet. Wc are told by the Brownville Advertiser that Mr. Porter disclaims any hostility towards the Administration, and that what he said at Lincoln was spoken under ex citement and in the flu-h of victory, and that he was not in a mood to fully com prehend the force of his language. We accept the explanation but suggest that Mr. Porter would do well to "think be fore he speaks" next time. ( IlK AdU AVE.MX. J. F. Dtud, Esq., has suggested to us the idea cf extending Chicago Avenue out as far as the south line of Mr. Max well's farm. Wc fully agree with lum on the propriety of this measure, and hope it will be accomplished early this spring. This avcntii, properly adorned with trees on either side, would soon become one of the most fashionable drives in the west. Let u have Chicago Avenue, one hun drcd feet wide", enxtended as far as the south line of Mr. Maxwell's farm by all means. Who is there to oppose this much needed measure? a slxsibj.k idi:a. We clip the following sensible item flora the columns of the Brownville Ad vertiser. "You may talk and think as you will about immigration societies, but more good could 1'C accomplished, nnd in a cheaper end more business like way, if the Commissioners of Pawnee, Johnson, Gage and Jefferson counties should each order one thousand copies of their county paper?, sent regularly to eastern centers of publication for free destitu tion. They would thus secure two ob jects, greatly imp. rove their papers, and advertise their own resorces more truly, extensively and thoroughly, than will be dono in any other way. Let some county set the bull ij motion and note the benefits at the end of the year." Burt county has decided to assist the Omaha & Northwestern Railroad in the amount of j100u0 in county eight per cent, twenty year bond. Business has livened up somewhat during the past ten days, a; d the feeling is generally entertained that business will be good and money plenty as soon as spring business opens. The Iowa State Musical Convention, whi h has been in progress at Council Bluffs for several days past, is said to have Iccn a fine affair. A large number of musicians were in attendance, and the occasion was a pleasant one. It closed last Friday evening. The people of Omaha recently held a fair for the relief of the suffering French, the total receipts of which are estimated at $2,Oi.o. The prize cane was awarded to the Oiuahi Herald. The members of the Bar of this city held a meeting Saturday evening to talk over matters relative to the profession. We are not informed who "was to read the riot act." According to our Lincoln correspond ent, the bill donating 20,000 of land tol assist the O. & S. W. R. It. in bridging the Platte, and authorizing them to ex tend their line throueh Cass, Otoe Ne maha, etc., has been defeated by re maining in the Governor's hands beyond the allotted time. The woman whom we mentioned a few days since as having deserted her husband, mother and children and taken uJier abode in a houe of prostitution, was notified, last Saturday, to leave the city and State or she would be arrested as a vagrant. Ihere are others in the city who should receive the same treat ment. Several new frame buildings have been commenced during the past week in different parts of the city, and there is little doubt that the number of busi ness houses and dwelling serected during the coming season will far outnumber those of any former j-ear. Died, February 10th, 1S71, at the residence of John F. Buck, of Cass county, Mr. 11 C. Shrydcr, aged 84 years. He was father of George Shry der, and father-in-law of John F. Buck, and has been a resident of this county since 1S5T. The Omaha Herald intimates that Representative Hawke, of Otoe county, has charged the State, for the use of the Seuate Assembly with many items that he never supplied. We would not be at all surprised, for Ilawke is a Demo crat, of the strictest sect. More "radi cal corruption." is it not? To kill a town, under rate the proper ty of your neighbor, withdraw your sup port from your home mechanics and manufactories, everythingyou need send to some other town for, and if you are in business of any kind, refusa to advertise in your county paper, says the Glenwood Ornaion, and our word for it, you will surely succeed. DELICATE DilMAL OPEBATIOS. Something like eighteen mouths ago Mrs. Mutz, wife of Geo. Mutz, Esq., of Eight Mile Grove, was salivated during a fit of sickness. She had been troubled for some time with a decayed tooth in the lower jaw on the right side, and the mercury seemed to take especial hold upon the tooth and jaw. It grew con stantly worse, until the teeth on that side nearly all dropped out, and the whole side of the jaw became seriously effected. About two Weeks ago Dr. McCrea of this city, Dental Surgeon, was sent for to see if he could give any relief. The Dr. removed nearly the whole side of the jaw bone, containing the socketa for four teeth, which he now has in his possession. The piece of bone is about two inches in length, and shows the fearful ravages of the mercury. The operation was performed with hardly any hemorrhage, and with very little incon venience to the patient, who is now do ing remarkably well and is relieved from all unpleasant feelings caused by the de cayed bone. Dr. McCrea is proving himself master of his profession. A 1IEARTLLSH WOUAX. She ! rl her Iluwbanil. unci Chil dren and Enlrr'i i House of I'rottit ution. A most heartrending case of desertion occurred in our city a few days ago, and one which the law should tike hold of if there is a law to reach it. We sup press the names out of respect for the innocent babes and the husband and mother of the detestable wretch who has caused them so much misery and shame. About a year or more ago a man and his wife, with one child and the wife's mother, moved from Iowa. They had been married some six years, and seemed to live as happily as uiany others. Some time last summer the husband became convinced that his wife was too familiar with other men, and talked to her about it. They had some trouble, au J seporat cd for a short time. They lived together afterwards, and a. daughter was born to hem, the child was only a week eld when he heartless woman left her husband's roof, and leaving to her husband and her mother's care the infant babe, and took up her abode with a young man of the city, with whom she has lived in adultery until a few days ago. Three dy.Mr j s!i3 entered the bouse of pros titution kept by Jennie St. Clair, and has now fully started on the downward road which most certainly ends at the gates of the orthodox hell. She is only about twenty-six years old, and is said to be a very fine looking woman ; but what a blackened heart must be beneath that fair exterior- (Vc can imagine cir cumstances undsr which a woman might be driven to a life of prostitution : but it is difficult to believe that any woman could be ro lo.-t to all the finer feelings of nature, and especially to those of a mother for her innocent and helpless bate of only a few weeks old, as to enter upon a life of prostitution almost within hearing of the wail of her deserted off spring. Had she gone to some other locality, and changed her name so as not to disgrace, forever, her innocent children and heart-broken mother, it might net seem so great an outrage. Since the i-suo of cur Saturday even ings "paper, containing the notice of the successful dental operation performed by Dr. McCrea, he has had applications from over twenty r en in this city to get him to take the "jaw" out of their wives. J. Sterling Morton and Wm. Ilick lin, of Otoe have gone to Salt Lake along with Dr. Miller. The A'eics says they have all gone to "see the elephant and the Saline mines." If the charges against our State officers should not be substantiated won't these worthies howl and say "Oh, we could have convicted them iu just "litccii minutes' if we had been at home. Rather singular that these individual? should l.aveja "hanker in" to visit the 'biker mines" at this particular time. Saturday last was the djy appointed by the commissioners for holding pre cinct meetings to elect delegates to at tend the County Commissioners meeting to-day. Sheriff Grcebe, of Omaha, fired at a prisoner who wa? attempting to escape, a few days since, and the ball passed through the clothing of a bystander. J. P. Lantz, of Lincoln, Real Estate Agent, and publisher of the Nebraska Intelligencer, called on us this evening, and reports business moving along at the capital city. By the way, Lantz has got up one of the best maps .of Lincoln, including all the additions, railroads, public buildings, also a list of public officers, mem bers 01 the legislature, etc , tnat we have ever seen, a copy of which adorns our sanctum. Lantz is one of the live men of Nebraska, and persons having real estate business at Lincoln would do well to consult him.

Do not fail to address W. Jennings Demorest, S33 Broadway N, Y. An immigrant wagon, of the white covered species, was crossed over to the Nebraska shore on the ice to-day. For the Herald. Dear Herald: Do you ever get weary and worn in the battle of life, and almost persuaded to give it up? Did it ever appear as if the midnight lamp burned never so dim, when the eyes were almost ready to leap from their sockets, the hand cramped and unsteady, the head r.Iuiost burstiiiir, after toiling at the desk from early dawn, away into the small hours of night, and the task but half completed yet? Did you ever foci that soul thirst for inspiration for mental strength and quickening fire that fire which warmed the soul, that strength of mind, that inspiration which moved the pen of Milton, Pope, Young and Pollock ? Is there inspiration in literature? Yes, now I remember a lit tle scrap from the pen of Theodore Til ton, I saw it years ago ; I learned it then and have not foigottcn it, only when the cares of life and thoughts of other things, crowd it from the mind. I will give it to your many readers, perhaps theywill be pleased and benolked: "A sacred familiarity with the Divine mind, is the best inspiration for litera ture. Many an author, dead and for gotten, might have been alive in the world's memory to-day, only lor the lack of that quickening into greatness which comes of God's breath upon the soul. The world's teachers must first be God's learners. Wisdom does not grow out of books when students lock themselves in shut closets. Tno cloister must open outward to the world and upward to the heavens. The great wisdom is God's divinity and man's humanity. Who knows this knows most f all ; after this, what icmains to be learned is little. God first, man next; the rest are trifles. What then is the true secret of touching the Jips with lire? Coleridge knew it and told it. His words are deep and true. They hold the talisman which all poets, all orators, all artists must use if they would touch the world's heart to its core. An hour of solitude parsed in sincere and e-arnest prayer, or the con flict with and conquest over a single pas sion or subtle bosom, sin, will teach us more of thought, will more effectually awaken the faculty and form the habit of reflections, than a year's s'.udy in the schools without them.' Here is a secret worth knowing ; it is not new, but very old. It is the same which was known to the poet of the Hebrews. 'The en trance cf thy words givcth light ; it giv cth understanding to the simple.' Good heed to this saying will make common men wise, and wise men great. Its meaning is, 'the fakli of God, taken into the soul, breathes strength into the Y. Mr. Clough, of Otoe county, reccoai tut ii Is, through a communication in the Cmonide, that in the forthcoming con stitutional revision, a clause be inserted allowing all women over twenty-one years old, unconvicted of crime, and who own $200 worth of taxable property, to vote. If we are to have women vote at all we are in favor of having them vote without any other restrictions than those placed upon a en. Let there be "no distiction on account of race, color, former condition of servitude, or of sex." A resident of the city by the name of Morton, asserted in a conversation yes terday that Governor Butler had been bribed in some railroad matter and Mr. Doom, to whom the conversation was di rected, informed him that he was a mem ber of that railroad investigating com mittee, and would soon call on Mr. Mor ton to swear. Let Morton be called. He has repeatedly charged the Governor with crime and now he can do the peo ple of the State a favor by testifying in the case. Chronicle. The Sioux City .Tournal says a drug firm n that city has received an order for fifty pounds of Indian war paint for Spotted Tail's camp. This is considered equivalent to a declaration of war against some of the troublesome tribes in that country. A team, with a load of lumber, broke through the ice this evening, but was got out without serious loss or damage we believe. We are told the team be longs to Lyman fc Co., but aro not cer tain. People should be rather careful about driving over the ice this thawy weather, or there may be some loss of life.

No one seriously hurt. The ice in the Platte is breaking up to day. Hon. Wm. Dailey, of Nemaha county, came in from Lincoln on the evening train. The "President" Eteamed up this evening for he first trip. The ice has broken up at the upper landing, and the President will bring the passenger! from the other side this evening- Footmen are still crossing on the ice below the city, while boats are rnnning half a mile above town. We expect to 'hear something drap" soon. H IIHII i I I II i CAKD OF Til AS At a meeting of the Turner Society of Plattsmouth, held at their Hall, on Thursday the 16th hist, it was, Jicsoked, That the thanks of the So ciety be tendered to the Plattsmouth Herald, for tho generous liberality and courtesy shown them before and after the Masqurade Ball. H. Newman, P. BRAirscn, Com. F. D. Leniioff, ) In the absence of the Editor, we will only say, that the Herald fully appre ciates and reciprocates, the kindly feeling conveyed iu the above Resolution of the Turners of Plattsmouth. It is said that "It is good for bretheren, to dwell to gether in unity," and the Herald be lieves it is good for a community to cul tivate and foster these pleasant relations regardless of party or s.ect, which tend to unite all upon the broad platform of universal liberty and fellowship. "A fOlPLIi or LAMBS" Some three weeks ago a mn and wo man came to this city and took boarding at one of our boarding houses, he giving the name of Wm. Haines. Since com ing here he received a package of money by express, when he signed his name as Win. Bass. lie has not seemed to have any employment, unless it was gambling, and we are informed that he carries a very bad countenance. They were passing here as man and wife Last night at the supper table the man Haines, or whatever his name uiay be, had sonic words with one of the board ers, said to have originated in jealousy, and seizing a knife, attempted to kill the young man, (whose name we did not learn) but he made bis escape with no further injury than a severe cut in the hand, and ran for an officer. Williams was soon on the spot, and found the "pet lamb" under a bed. He induced him to come out and accompany him to the Recorder's office, where His Honor, after hearing the case, imposed a fine and cost, and in default of payment he was sent to jail. The woman cave her name as Sarah Jane Coon says Haines is from Red Rock, Iowa, and her pa rents live not far from there; says they have lived together about a year, but arc not married. She has never known him to work, and don't know what he does. Haines lias gone by a number of different names, and been in numerous scrapes in Iowa, and was shot in the arm by an officer, in Ft. Dcs Moines, who was attempting to arrest him. From what information we have, wc con clude they are a desperate couple, and hope they uiay get their just deserts, which they are pretty sure of if they stay about Plattsmouth, long. ii:tc;i:::is or the teachers i.vstiuti:. FIRST DA V. Plattsmouth, Fob. 20, 1871. The "Cass County Teachers' Insti euto" was organized by electing W. A. Patterson, Esq., President, and J. M. Hiskctte. Secretary. The President, on assuming the chair, made a few very appropriate and well timed remarks upon tha object and im portance of holding Teachers' Institutes, and urged that all should take an active part in thetxerciscs. PROGRAMME OF EXERCISES. The best method of teaching orthog raphy was taken up and discussed at length by Messrs. T. J. Patterson, G. W. Hammond and others. READING A class in reading was then formed, 1 and the ability displayed in thi most important uianc-n or education snoweu that much time and labor had been de voted to a thorough training of the voice, and to the rules of elocution, without which it is impossible to become a good reader or speaker.

MENTAL ARITHMETIC, In which all took an active part, and showed by the interest manifested that the importance of this ctudy had not been overlooked or neglected. PRACTICAL ARITHMETIC, Notation, numeration and addition, and the best methods of teaching these rr.lcs. The discussion on this subject was animated and interesting and brought out many hints which will be of import ance to those who were so fortuate as to hear them. RECESS. ORAM M A R. This being an important and useful branch of education, the interest mani fested in the diucusion of the best meth od of teaching it was animated and lively. CIVIL OOVERNENT. This subject, although of importance to every American citizen, failed to elicit the interest which it demands. On motion, Miss Adelia Babbington was elected assistant Secretary. The Secretary Jwas instructed to fur nish a copy of the proceedings of the Institute to the journals of this city for publication. On motion, Mesr. T. J. Patterson, C. Angevine and J. M.

The Baptist Sociable will meet at the residence of IT. W. Wise next Friday evening. A certain man doing business in this city was brought up and fined to day for not having license. Better toe the mark, gents. The Monitor came across the river this afternoon, and passed on west. We could not ascertain what she was loaded with, but suppose it was arms and legs. Theodore Tilton has retired from the Independent and the Brooklyn Union, and will hereafter devote his entire time and talent to his new paper, The Golden Aye, at New York. The member of the Y. M. C.

Officer Williams had his "pet lamb" repairing the sidewalks and crossings to day. The follows countenance would send him t9 the Penitentiary anywhere cast of the Missouri rivtr, and may here. Tho ice is piling up in large mascs abovethis city. It comes from the Platte. The President made her upper landing to day, and will probably make regular trips hereafter. SCHOOL EXHiniTIOX. The Plattsmouth Collegiate School Ex amination anil Exhibition w 11 be held in White & Spires Hall, on Friday, the 24th inst., at 2 o'clock. Admission free. All are kindly invited. The examina tion will consist of the various branches of English and German education. The exhibition will include vocal and instru mental music, recitations, readings, char ades, etc., etc. Mr. John A. Stevens, of the Omaha Academy of music, with his talented troupe among whom arc Miss Edith Bland and Miss Carlotta will appear in Plattsmouth for three nights, commenc ing on Monday evening, February 27th. The opening play will be the two act Comedy, of "Who Killed Cock Robin." There will be a song and dance between the pieces by the favorite s-ongstrcss, Mis Edith Bland, and will close with the laughable fare .3 of "Jennie Lind, or the Swedish Nightingale." LET IS HAVE IT ALL. The Omaha Jirpuljlicaii of Sunday morning calls loudly for a full and thorough investigation, and insists that the facts shall be brought out on all mat ters where ever a question has been raised. We fully arrvee with the Re puldican, and suggest that no stone be left unturned to arrive at these facts, let who will be hurt in consequence ; and right here we would call on the Commit tee of Investigation to summon Maj Balcomb before them and ask him what he knows in regard to the letting of the contract for public piinting a little over two years ago. "Send for persons and papers." Two ladies were thrown from a wagon in the south part of the city last Mon day, and one of them injured severely. We did not learn their names. Superintendent Patterson inform us that the teachers of the city are not at tending the Institute in sessions here. Why is this thusly? Why don't they attend? Wc are unofficially informed that John Fitzgerald, Esq., of this city, was married, at Council Bluffs, yester day, to MNs Kelley, of that place, and that the happy couple started eat on a wedding tour. We suppose we will be compelled to abandon the use of the chosen title of "our Fitz." now, for he is no longer "our Fitz 1" alone, but his "better half" will claim him as her own. We wish them long life and much joy. W. L. Hobbs, Esq., stepped up to "the captain's office" yesterday and paid a year in advance on his daily pa per, and subscribed for four more copies of the weekly to be sent to friends east (he was already sending three or four copies). A few more men like Hobbs would make us poor newspaper men feel that our efforts to help the town and country were appreciated. Who comes next ? IIoneMy in Jfew York- The Standard publishes the following certiiicate of New York commercial hon esty: "A certain leading grocery house on the west side of town recently re ceived a cask of dried herrings in the very best of merchantable order. The pontic man whose name the firm bears caused these to be taken out of the cask and had put in their Ftead a lot that was old and decaying. These were sent to the firm from which the fresh lot had been received, with the explanation that the good being damaged, they could not be received." Aunt Judy, a pious old colored woman is said to have expressad herself as follows in reference to the vociferous habits of cer tain persons at camp meeting : "Taint de real grace; honey, tant de shure glory. You hollers too loud. When you get3 de dove in your heart, and de lamb on your bosom, you'll ftell as if you was in dat stable at Cethl'm. and de blessed Virgin had hiit you de slevpir..' baby to hold.'' THE YLNTM.A I IO.Y. The Lincoln Journal comthiin3 that the papers of the State, not in open bos tility to the Governor, have not taken the cudgel in his favor when he has been unjustly assailed. We differ somewhat from the position of the Journal upon this question. If the Governor is unjust ly assailed, and is persecuted by design ing men who attack him in order to ele vate themselves over his ruin, (as we do not doubt is the case with some who are howling at him), that fact will develop in good time, and will most certainly re act upon the men who- seek bis injur." in this way. The question of wheth er Gov. Butler and the other State Offi cers and ex. officers are guilty of doing things worthy of censure, or other pun iahment, is now being examined into by a joint committee, appointed for that purpose; and we apprehend that news paper articles, or newspaper charge, e n either side of the question, will have lit tle' effect with the committee, unless the writers thereof substantiate their as sertions underoath before the committee; neither do we apprehend that the com mittee (composed of just and upright men, as they must be to have secund an election) will allow themselves to do so unjust a thing as to report to the Legislature and the world that Gov. Rutlcr or any other officer or ex-offictr is guilty of even an injudicious act, let alone one of a criminal nature, until they have fairly examined the matter in all its bearings, and allowed the accused the privilege (or the right) to as full a hearing as the men have who seek to do them an injury (provided they are inch) Believing that the committee will do this, and that they will not report against any one of the men implicated without such full hearing that no one sided persecution will be permitted we again say we see8 no especial reason why the newspapers of the State should de fend Gov. Butler again-t any who are disposed to persecute him cither mali ciously or (as is often the ca-c) simply to distinguish themselves and on wh they think will be the popular sid. If me committee were incline! to a one sided course, then we admit that the papers of the State should have some thing say for the commonest criminal in the land is allowed full justice, and is always allowed council and a full hearing.
