Clark, Esq., of the Banking House of Tootle, Hanua & Clark, arriv ed at home last evening from a visit in the oast. A gentleman informed us that he counted over two hundred teams at one time to-day, mostlv loaded with grain. Guthman & Fluberty can put up the Icest dish of ice cream to be had in the west. j. hey are enterprising business men, and advertise in the IIerald. Our friend Shannon keeps nothing but the best of livery stock, and if you don't happen to have the money to pay for a ride, just give an order on some good natured landlord. Samuel P. Davis has become connected with the Brownville Democrat, and ta ken charge of the local department. Mr. Austin has arranged for a school pic-nic to take place on the Iowa side of the river next Friday. A large number of ladies and gentlemen, resi dents of the city, are expected to join in the pleasures of the occasion. We learn from an Ashland gentleman that Dr. Huff, of that city, recently caught a young wolf, and that an inef fectual attempt was made by himself and a gentleman named Lininger to capture the old one. Mr. Linioger is said to be very fond of sports, and especially of wolf huuting. Iy reference "to the time table of the O. & S- W. 11. It. it will be seem that passengers can leave here in the morning, arrive at Omaha at 11:10, leave Omaha at 3 p. m. and arrive at home the same evening'. It ha3 been suggested in our hearing thai the merchants of Ashland should keep a better stock of flannels than they do, it might save an occasional trip to Piattsmouth. During the recent impeachment trial the Tichenor House was tho principle headquarters (as it always is) and every corner of that magnificent building was occupied. Our friend Ensey was always on hand to wait upon guests, and not a man was allowed to leave the hotel dis satisfied with his fare or treatment. En i-ey is a complete success as a landlord. Mr. Green, principal draughtsman in the Surveyor General's Office has arriv ed and assumed the duties of the office. He is said to be one of the finest work men in the United States. Hon. T, M. Marquett arrived from Lincoln this morning, where he has been conducting the defense of Gov. Butler's impeachment trial. Mr. Mar- quett's management of this case, espe cially his forcible presentation of the law points, has given him a reputation as wide as the knowledge of the case ex tends. This trial has been the most im portant one ever known in the State, hence the selection, by the Governor, of tho most eminent counsel in the State. Col. Baum informs us that the bridge work on the B. !c M. is completed to Crete, and the track will probably be finished next week. Mr. Henry llobinson and J. E. Hol land proprietor of the City Hotel of this city, arrived from Crete last evening. Corn and wheat crops never looke better in Nebraska and western Iowa than at the present time. The splendid prospect for a bountiful harvest is caus ing the farmers to let up a little and dis pose of their surplus of last year. The influence is felt in all channels of busi ness, and money seems much more plen tiful than for the past six months. As is usual in such cases, we expect to hear an hundred small fry polititians throughout the State connected with the newspapers of the the State, and in other capacities, come out with much pomp and circumstance, and in loud tones proclaim their great services, ren dered in in impeaching Gov. Butler. Most of the men who will thus insult the public will be of a class who dared not have an opinion of their own until Butler was convicted. Such is politics of one kind. A man who had been disappointed in love committed suicide at Brownville last Saturday by taking a dose of strich- nine. He was a native of Germany, named John Bolen. Mr. C. S. Williams, formerly of this city, and at present telegraph manager at Nebraska City, is in town on a visit to his friends. Leonard & Co. advertise Photographs at $3 per dozen during the present month, and other pictures at the same low rate. This establishment turns out nothing but the very best of work. The Glenwood Opinion says: "One day this week while two boys, sons of Dr. Dohelan, were 'playing canon,' they accidentally left the powder horn a little too close to the flash ami theresu'twasthe tire caupht in the horn and exploded the horn, the boys'and all around there Fortunately the boys were not seriously burned, although their eyebrows, hair and laces were a little scorched This little flash will be more effective than a hundred parental warnings against play ing with powder." Ten men were crossing the river at Omaha Wednesday evening in a skiff when the boat was capsized and they were all left to "t-hirk for themselves," assistance being convenient, they were all rescued.

In speaking of the non-appearance in our Lincoln specials of the election of Senator Sheldon as President f the Senate, we did not design to be under stood to say that the "neglect" was on the part of the operators, but was a neglect of our own in not incorporating that item in the telegram.

Dilley concluded to have a pic-nic somewhere soon, but did not determine then when er where they would have it ; but subsequently they determined to have it at Shaffer's grove, m the north west part of the city to-day. At pre cisely nine o'clock this morning the teachers and pupils, together with a large number of citizens from different parts of the city, took up "line of march" from the school house for the grove. About noon we filched a moment from our labor and paid them a viit, and upon arriving on the ground we found the happy crowd assembled around a "groaning" table (groaning beneath the load of the many "giod things to eat)." After dinner the party spent the time in swinging and other pastimes. The occasion, all around, was a pleasant, as well as a profitable one. To see the brave and the fair on tha "flying trapeze" made us wish we could swing. Mr. Dilley, and his efficient assistant, Miss Girtie Borders, deserve much credit for their untiring efforts in getting up this pic-nic for the enjoyment of their pupils, and others ; and we are glad to note the fact that the enterprise was a complete success. Time forbids us making such a report of it as we should like, for which we are very sorry; besides that, we have a delicious cake before us from the "pic-nicers," which looks so tempt ing that we cannot write further with out partaking of it. Here goes for the cake. a Tnniu ix iioRsirriiiEF. The Brownville Democrat of yester day says: "Last Monday a boyish-looking chap about seventeen years old, rode into town mounted ou a fine iron grey horse, without a saddle, which lie offered to sell at a tempting figure provided the title had been good. But fifty dol lars was too much, under the suspicious circumstances, and Marshall Cambel concluded to take him up fur examina tion. He was brought before Judge Rogers, and confessed that he had stolen the animal near Seneca, Kansas. He gave his name as James Biniman, and said he lived near Lathrop, Missouri. Being out of work and out of money at Seneca, he wanted to go home, so he stole the horse to ride as far as the river, and then ho would sell it to get money enough to pay his expenses dome. "He was committed to jail to await in telligence from Kansas, and on Wednes day afternoon Jude Rogers received a telegram, stating that such a horse had been stolen, and requesting that the thief be held till further communication could be had." We had the pleasure of seeing a letter, receiyed to-day, by one of our citizens, from Mr. Selden Irwin, in which he says he purposes to visit Piattsmouth soon with his Theatrical Troupe. Mr. Irwin is the prince of managers in the west, and has with him several etar ac tors. At the time of his writing he could not name the time, but wiil give several days notice. A slight "unpleasantness" occurred at the City Hotel, yesterday eveuing, be tween a colored man by the name of Jehu Page who is employed at the Ho tel, and a cook by the name of Phil p B'.essiugton, an old offender in which the latter got pretty badly demoralized. It seems that Blessington had been making threats, and Page had armed himself with a small pistol for se'f-defence ; and in the melee drew the pistol and struck his antagonist several blow3 on the hfad with it. Constable Murphy was soon on hand and stopped tho row by arresting the parties. Page was taken before Justice O'Neill this morning and after a full hearing, set at liberty, as it was proved he only acted in self-defense. Blessington was unable to be taken be fore the court, and will probably be civil for a few days at least.
