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

chief ofliee, 10 South Cattle street, Liv

Any matter respecting the Srate of
Nebraska will be useful for quotation in

It is curious to note sometiin"S how
manufactured goods accumulate co-t by
transportation. For instance, Hawke &
Maxon are manufacturing canvas hams,
and smoked hams and shoulders in this
city. They seli their products to some
wholesale house in St. Louis, and the
iroods are shipped down th.re. l'y and
by some Nebra-ka City ret il groc u-goes
to St. Louis to buy stock, and amotu'
other things buys some of these very
same Nebraska City goods, and ships

added cost of two shipments and whole

The assessors met yesterday and Sxod
the prices for assessing lands in the dif

Plattsmouth preeinet bad "heard the
whistle" sufficiently for a time that they
woi':d reduce tho valuation of land in
this precinct two dollars an acre, and ele
vate the price in some of the lower pre
cinct where the reverberations of the
aforesaid whistle were just now being
heard. The prices agreed upon, in all
the precincts, are far below the real val
uation, but this is customary, as the
policy has been to mt make improved
farms pay for tho vulu3 t!uy give to
wild lands.

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

just such us this Hrrixtrr, for collecting
and preserving it. Its forms are neatly
printed and very simple, eo that any one
who can write cm easily Gil them up.
