Msr CiTizrxs. "When and How?" Jacob Vallery, Sen., of this city, was President of the German Convention recently held at Nebraska City. Itev. A. J. Svrartz and family have arrived from 111., and token up a perma nent abode in our city. Married. On Tuesday, Sept. 19th, at St. Mark's Church, by the Hector, Ilev. F. A. Steele, Chas. II. Gere, of Lincoln, Neb., to Mariel E-, daughter of the late Capt. John Claphani', of Washington, D. C. "When and How?" . ' Ex-Gov. Stewart died at his home in St. Joseph, Mo-, on the 21st of Sept. He wjs the father of the internal im provement pystem of Missouri. Mr. Azro Sc:ith, of Rock Bluffs, has left at tho Herald Office a specimen of Nebraska grown Peanuts, which are a curiosity to those who never saw them Crowing. Mr. Snow, of the firm of Osborn, Snow & Co., of Burlington, was in the city Saturday, and called at the Herald Sanctum. Mr. Clemons has hosts of those excel lent sweet potatoes. Cheap enough for any one to eat 1 crsons desiring special advertise ments in the Herald or in the way of Cards, posters and circulars, during the coming County Fair, should be making preparations therefor. Azro Smith, of Rock Bluffs, Cass County, received first premium at tho State Fair, for the best display of coop era work. The beauty of Mr. Smith's display wis that every stick of the tim ber was of Nebraska growth, and the mechanism was from his own hands. 'When andjlow?" Hon. Reed Marquett, brother of our townsman, T. M. Marquett, arrived in the city Thursday, accompanied by Lis wife. He will remain for some wetks in ocr State. Tbe Republicans of Seward County hare eleeted delegates to the State Con vention in the event of the adoption of the Constitution, as follows: O. T. B. Williams, Win. A. Wilson, G. C. Mc Kay, M. Langdon, and J. II. Culver, al "good men and .true." "Brother BoyJston' of Nebraska City, who was the Sabbath Schotd teach er of the brilliant colored boy so famous t among Nebraska story tellers, is out in a Card lashing the "boss" Hawke dynas ty of Oto. He declares his absolute retirement from politics. We fear we fkall soon lose "Grasshopper Jeems" from the political arena, as he and brother Boydston padil! the same boat. Tho Democracy of Ofioe have thrown their only strong man overboard and no minated a man that was more in accord with their secesh ideas. They Lave tlroppcd J. W. Moore and nominated Jolm Heth as their candidate for sheriff. Moore has anounced himself as an inde pendent candidate for sheriff, and the llcpTUjlicans-oau elect their man if they cotae to the front boldly with a good candidate. "When, and How?" Mr. Lyman- is. cUivering some very nice looking piles- for tho bridge on Main street. Possible A CooesMlen. The Omah lleralj says it is possible, under certain circa instances, that the new Constitution may yet be adopted. STATE FAIR FHtMICMS. We had expected to give, to day, a Hit of premiums awarded at the State Fair but the list published so far has been so incomplete that we ?hall now await the official statement. Suffice to say, Cass carried off more important pre miums, probably, than any other county in the State. ' When and How?" A MAMim I.MERCKT. Omaha takes a wonderful interest in our State Fairs, and thinks the next one should be held in that city. As an evi dence of this we copy the following item from a correspondent, of the Nebraska City Chronicle, -writing from Urownville durintr the, recent Fair:- "Tho articles on exhibition hero from north of the Platte river uonMat of one bo crackers, two bushels of wheat, a lot or soap, and some photography. l'I,ATTK RIVKK HKIDUE. The Omaha Bee has the following item relative to the building of the Platte river bridge, which will be hailed with Joy (not Jas. F ) by the people of Cass County: Work on the Platte river bridire will be commence 1 by the Omaha and South western Kailroad in a few davs. The bridge will have to be completed by January 1st, to enable the company to titke advantage of the legislative act donititijt '2,WH) acres of land to its constructors. BEST IT THE I'MTKO STATES. The following just tribute to one of the most euterprisiug citizens of Cass county is from the Omaha Republican, written from the State Fair : "James M. Wood, of Cass county, who, judging from the excellence of his cattle, must be recognized as a stock rais er to whom, as a class, Nebraska is great ly indebted, exhibits a lot of short horus which cannot be excelled in the United States. This is a broad assertion, but stock men from abroad will bear it out. Thec cattle wore raised on his farm on the Weeping Water, where he ha 04J acres in the highest state of cultivation. HU cows, Poauty, ar.d White Lady, two years old, out of imported stock, will each weigh at least 10J pounds. His two year old cows, .Magnolia and Ilo'e ofSharron, and bull Exception, are all worthy the attention of every fanner who is seeking to improve his stock." The sales of Burlington and Missouri River Railroad Lands in Nebraska du ring the month of Sept., 1871, were 17, 461. CO acres, at an average price of $S.o7 ier acre, amounting to $140, 131.00. The Company has yet a largo quantity of farm lands for tale on ten years' cred it at G pr. ct. interest, or at prices l!0 pr. ct. less for cah or Bonds of the Compa ny, or one-third down with ballance on one and two years' credit aflO pr. ct. till paid. "Whei and How?" Rev. Henry C. Shaw of Racine, Wis. has accepted a call to St. Luke's Parish and is expected to arrive in thfl city on ThursJay for a permanent stay. Rev. W. I. Cutter, of New York formerly of this city, arrived last Satur d.-ty, and will remain for a few days His daughter, Mrs. Valiery, will return to New York with him. Mr. Cutter is like mci-t of men who have lived in the wet, he has a strong desire to return here to sjend the remainder of his days, and we look for him again in Plattsmouth before "many moons have passed." A subscriber from New York says that he takes a large number of papers, religious, literary, political and news papers, but that the squabble is always to see who t-hall have the Herald first. We hear the same complaint from differ cnt sources, and would recommend an extra copy to such families. We give our readers, that portion of Judge Lake's recent decUiou on the Injunction Case which relates to the payment of taxes for interest on railroad bonds. It will bo of interest to the people of Ih s County. I he editor ot the Herald returns thanks to Lewellyn Moore, Eq., for one of the fkiest flower bouquets ever put to gether in Platsniouth, and containing 60me of tho choicest flowers kuowu Mr. Moore lias rare talent in the floral line, as his bouquet gives evidence. Thoso who have visited his gardens in the west part of the city speak in terms of highest praise of the choice varieties tlere seen. Cass county is "ahead of the hounds" this year oa premiums. She Las car ried off some of the first premiums at tho State Fair, as well as several pre miums at the Mills County Fair. Mr. Dill's roan mare, of Eight Mile Grove, carried off the swwpstakes premium on tT(ir.i JZ st the Mills County Fair, and several other premiums were carried off by other Cass county horses. II. DuBoisc, Esq., of this .-ounty. took the sweepstakes premium :it the State Fair for the best stallion of any nge or breed; and J. M Wood, Esq , of this county, took the sweepstakes premium for the best" bull of any age or breed. They contended against not only the finest t-totk of our own State, but against the finest stock from the celebrated Cowiu farm of Missouri. Mr. Durett, of Louisville, was in tbe city to day, for the first time in several weeks. WTe are sorry to learn that he has been suffering from a fractured arm for several weeks. The Ststa Fair closed last evening, al'tcr a most successful season of four days. There were a much larger num ber of entries than any previous jear, and the display of stock, fruits, vegeta bles, implements, etc., were- fine. Wo 6hall give some brief notes in relation to the Fair in the course of & ferrd.y- CASS COUNTY FAIR. October l!ih, 12th, and 13th. Are Offered in Premiums ! ! ! REMEMBER THE TIME. THE DEMOCRACY assembled yesterday and placed in noui ination the iollowmz ticket to run against the next County officers: Treasurer F.D.Lehnhoff, Clerk J. M. Patterson, Sheriff A. Lazenby, Probate Judge Winslow, Sup't Pub. Inst. J.I). Patterson, Co. Com. Price Cunningham, Coroner Wm. Dowers, Surveyor A. l. Smith. MOKE GUAM). Dr. John Black, of this city was ap pointed Superintendent of Public In struction for Cass county at the recent meeting of the County Commissioners, to fill a vacancy of some two years vaca tion. The Dr. had not held tho office twenty-four hours until ho had money enough to purchase a tine two story brick residence of Capt K. B. Murphy. That was pretty quick work, and no one but a democrat could have accomplished it so soon. It may be barely possible that the Dr. had a portion of the money before he was appointed, but taken al together the circumstances look suspi cious. itrprm.icAX ward mki:ti.us. The Republican Ward Meeting o Plattsmouth, for tho election of dele gates to tho County Convention, will be held next Thursday at 1 o'clock p. in., as follows: First Ward Meeting at the office of James O'Neill, Justice of the Peace, on Main Street. Second .Yard Meeting at the German School House. Third Ward Meeting at Clark & Plummet-' s Hall. d2 COCXTYNITERIXTEXDEST. Four names have already been an nounced through the columns of the Herald as candidates for County Super intendent of Public Instruction at the ensuing election. Of Mr. Patterson we have already spoken. He announces himself as an independent candidate, while the others are announced as can didates subject to the approval of the Republican County Convention. O course the latter are the ones with whom we have to do as Republicans. Rev. Mr. Foster; the first name an 'munced, is a gentleman well known to the readers of the Herald as the author of the series of articles in these columns on "Our Public Schools," from which, no doubt, some correct idea may be formed of his ability as an educator. He is a man of great energy, and has mani fested much interest in the cause of edu cation since his fir-t arrival in the State, and has been called upon each year du rins his residence in the State to deliver an address before the State Teachers Association, with which request he has invariably compiiod. He is a gentleman well qualified, in our opiz'on, for County Superintendent, and one whose claims should n:t be overlooked. Prof. U. W. Wise has been a rest dent of Cass County for several years, and is noted for a profound scholar and eminent educator. He wa3 for many years principal of a leadiog Female Seminary of Georgia, and his large ex perience and mature judgment on mat ters of education render him a very f-uitable person for Superintendent of Public Instruction. His name is before the liepu Leans of Ca-s County, and wedsubt not they will consider, candid ly, their own interest in selecting i Superintendent. Prof. J II. Dilij' is also announced as a suitable person for the position. HU long service in th County and City as a teacher make each individual al most, perhaps, as well acquainted with . - a his merits as we are. Jic has been a successful teacher here for several years, and he has the best of recommendations rom the locality from whence he came. He is a younger man than either of the other applicants named, but his practical experience in the schools of the County, and his intimate kuowledge of our school system gained from this experience, gives him a peculiar claim for the con sideration of the people. We Lave been acquainted with Mr. Dilly since his first advent into our County, and have ever found him a faithful instructor of the young. Let the Republicans consider the merits of each of the above candidates before they select from them. A gang of hands commenced work to day to extend the B. & 31. track to the pew landing on the Iowa side. It is ex pected they will be ready to transfer from this landing about Wednesday the 1th of Oct. The Omaha Herald is evidently in clined to doubt the defeat of tho new Constitution, and is paving the way to find all kinds of fault in the event the official canvas should .show a majority of votes in favor of the document. Below we give a revised table of elec tion returns, which w3 have made up from the latest returns received up to the present date. They arc believed to be very nearly correct. . Rev. Henry C. Shaw the new rector of this Parish will officiate at St. Lukes Episcopal church on Sunday tiext the bth inst., when the Holy Communion will be administered.
