Platte The Burlington Ilatck-Ey, speaking of Mis Smiley, who has been creating such furor in New York, says: Ths new sensation in and about Now Yoik is Miss Sarah F.

Yours truly, M. 10 SoiTir Castle Street, ) . Liverpool, Feb. 1, 1872. j To the Editor Plattsmouth Herald, Pluttsmouth Atbraska : Dear Sir: The really hard times which have existed among tho poorer classes and small capitalists of this country during the past few years, have caused these people to turn their thoughts towards cmijrratim. Until lately the idea of leaving old England, especially by an Englishwoman, as long as a cru-t of bread was to be had at home, was altogether out of the question ; and none, but such as were in some measure giftd with a spirit of ad venture ever thought of leaving the mother conntry. Among these was a vast number of unfortunate individuals, who, finding so many various fields in An erica for exercising their ingenuity, put 'their shoulder to tho wheel, and finally succeeded, ; and "Jmimy Stubbs, who never could make sixpence at home, but was all the time receiving parish re lief actually went to America, and has now got a well stocked farm of his own, and all his children, they say, have got a first rate education, and his grown daughter. turn out like hdies." Re portsof this kind so inrariab'y favorable, are being received from Ametiean con ins and fi lends in all parts of this reelm, that eve.i tho-o struguiing in better heies, po-scssing a little capital, which britiirs in but small return-, naturally a-k themselves the question : If the iV-no- rant Stubbs succeed-, why should not we, even to a greater degree, consider ing cur superior education and capital ? and this, together with the glowing ac counts of the wonderful 1'ertility of ihe soil of the great west, the constant merging of small farms into larger ones here, and the continually increasing rents, increasing in fact to hueb an ex tent that farming hi the old country h:is ceased to be." profitable. All these things combined, are producing a migratory spirit which thie.itens to be as ;reat as tliat of Ireland, after the great famine ; but instead cf it being from among the destitute, it promises to be from the middling and moderately well-to-do classes, and they are the people we want out iu Nebru.skj, as they will really give atone to tiio State. In order to git them there, I beg to call upon you for your co-operation anj assistance, as you can materially aid me "rn luy present work by forwarding your journal to our chief ofliee, 10 South Cattle street, Liv erpool, to be kept on file for refirenae.

Here once an old trapper was lost on hi road from Fort Laramie to Tao, and wandered for many d ys; and in drink ing from a stream, found pieces of yel low metal as large as haz-d nuts, which ho carried to Taos and found to be gold. He spent many year in seeking the plnee again, but in vain.

We tava just, received from those well-known publishers of first-class Sub scriptioo Books, Messrs. E. Hannaford & Co. , a copy of their unique arid beau tiful novelty, "77e Pictorial Faniiuj Rejiiter." We hardly know how to de scribe it, bi. may say it combines the features of a very tasteful Family Pho tograph Album, with a complete and systematically arranged family history. It has evidently been prepared with great care to meet a real want in society. In every family there are sacred memo ries, connected with the living and the dead, and a safe, elegant and tasteful arrangement for preserving a fuller record of them than is convenient in the Family Bible, is often felt to bo exceed ingly desirable. The publishers of the work before us have provided for this in admirable styb. A great deal of information, both in totcMifiir and valuable, in the history of eveiy family is constantly Ling forgot ten and losf, for the want of some means just such us this Hrrixtrr, for collecting and preserving it.
