The telegraph tells us nothing more

Thero is a rumor in town that Geo.
Mohrenstecker, of Ncbrar-ka City, has

Farmers are beginning to learn that
there is more money, and more certain
profits in raising hog3 and cattle than in
anv other branch of farm business in this
State. The indications are that the hog
product of next year will be immense in
Cass county, and in fact throughout the
entire State. We know of men who
only raised a few this year who will have
hundreds next season. A pork packing
establishment will pay big in Platts
mouth next year.
Mr. S. A. Taylor, of the Continental
Life Insurance Company, paid our city
a visit on Monday and Tuesday of this
week, and while here received from
John Fitzgerald, E-q., the sum of four
thousand nine hundred and twenty-three
dollars and forty-five cents, ($4,923.45),
being a Bingle premium on a paid up
policy for seven thousand dollars ($7,
000) on endowment 15 years, which
with accumulated dividend., will amount
to a very large pum at the maturity of
the policy. He also holds another poli
cy for ten thousand dollars in the same
company which show3 that Mr. Fitzger
ald is a firm believer in life insurance, as
well as a good judge of a sound com
pany. Mr. C. M- Blaker, assistant Secretary
of the Senate, arrived in the city this
morning. lie says the journals show that
the Legislature adjourned to meet on
the first Tuesday in Jannary next, which
is the second day of the month, and
that the Court of Impeachment in the
Gillespie case stands adjourned to the
same date.
We understand that John Carroll,

Will Dr. Miller tell us why they call
I hern Lincoln thieves r statesman.
W e advise the Statesman to chide
Dr. Jiiller geutly on this subject, else it
may receive a tornaJo of abuse. The
trouble is that Dr. Miller is not very
much opposed to the afts of the Super
intendont, or any other man or men as
individual officers, but it is Lincoln that
he seeks to injure. The files of his pa
per will show that he never di.co"ered
any rascality in the officers of the State
while the capital remained at Omaha,
and probably never would had the capi
tal remained there.
It is generally conceded that the
Democratic party ia "played out" gone
into bankruptcy made an assignment
followed Tammany or Fome other
thing. One thins is certain, it has com
pletely failed, according to the state
merits of its own guardian?, and cannot
pay twenty five cents on the dollar of
what it owes the country. The only
question is whether they will accept the
principles of the Republican party, and
act with that party in maintaining them
(as uiauy of the Democratic party have
already expressed themselves in favor of
doing) or will they try to gather up a
faw rejected sticks from the Republican
ranks, repaint the old hulk of Democra
cy, and try to sail an independent craft
under a new name. It will make but
little difference to the country which they
do; the people will stand by the party
that has saved the nation, despite the
efforts of all traitors.
Capt. Marshall, our popular and ac

those elegant, new, patent I. O. Yale
lock boxes, seventy-two in number.
They are a very complete arrangement,
and we advise those of our business meu
who desire a complete thing to secure one
at once.
Such fellows as Buell, of the Arago
Pjess, are in very-small and poor paying
business to attempt to malign the per
sonal character of such a man a3 Judge
Mason. They should remember the
fate of the fellow who attempted to
"butt the masculine boviuo off the
bridge."
W. L. Hobbs, our popular Coun'y
Treasurer, left last evening for a short

The latest style is, when you get "bills

The first number of the Burt County

The Episcopal Sociable was held last
evcmr.2 at the residence ot Mrs. J. o.
O'Brien, where a goodly number were
gathered together. The election of offi
cers for the ensuing year was had, which
resulted in the selection of Mrs. D. II.

It is now believed that Governor James
will call an extra session humediatelv
upon the meeting of the Legislature, on
the 2nd prox. pursuant to its adjourn
ment last June. Lincoln Journal.
We have the authority of Governor
James himself for slating that there is
not the least truth" in tha above state
ment. Doubtless the Governor has had
brought to bear on him a very strong
pressure to induce him to call an extra
session, but up to this time he has had
the manliness to resist it. Jicvubhcan.
The Republican, no, not the Republi-
ctui, but Mr. Thomas evidently endeav
ors to place Acting Governor James in a
false position before the people and the
peoples representatives, for there is no
doubt that he has not only expressed a
willingness, but has positively declared
that he would call an extra session if it
was desired b- the members upon their
reassembling in accordance vi:h the ad
journment. Whatever faults Acting Gov.
James may have, he is not the man to
be "run" bj' such a man a3 Mr. Thomas,
neither is he a man that will ' 'go back' ' on
his word to members of the Legislature.
e care not a hg whether a session is
held or not; but if the peoples represent
atives say a session, is needed, Acting
Gov. James will hardly refuse to accede
to thi ir request to call it.

The installation will take place at
their hall, on the afternoon of St.
John's Day (27th), open to the caft
only.
The Baptist festival last night was a
grand success. The hall was crowded,
the supper was bounteous and good, and
everybody seemed to enjoj' the occasion
very much. The New England Dinner
was the great attraction not so much
on account of the dinner itself, which
varied but little from ordinary dinners,
as from the odd costumes and odder
manners of the representatives of that
region of sunrise. Mrs. Noble, as mat
ron, and Misses Stow and Wrise as young
ladies completed the female part of the
household, while C. W. Lyman (with
his hair parted in the middle iu true
"down east" j-tyle), as Jeddediah Scrum
bles home on a visit, and Messrs. Miller
and Maginnity as the male part of the
household, formed as complete a New
England scene as you could well imag
ine. We shall not attempt a description,
but will simply say it was "a good thing"
taken all together, and those who were
not there missed it.
An exchange asks :
