Xilraska City At to. It is reported that the Chronicle of Nebraska City will "liberalize" and sup port the Cincinnati nominees. Duprcz & Benedict's Minstrels pave an entertainment last Friday night, which was satisfactory to the hfge audi ence which had assembled at the opera house to see and hear. The right of way for the A. & N. II. R., through Lincoln, cost that city $2000. The county has aheady invested $125, VitO in the road. Prof. C. Crccgan. formerly of this city, has been appointed assistant editor and manager of a n?w periodical pub lished in San Francisco, entitled The M'trt. The much talked of libel suit by Hon. D. J. Mc Cann, against the Statesman, of Lincoln, has actually commenced, and will be ground out at the next term of court. The damages are laid at $20, 030. The Statesman 5? on the war path, and a red hot time is expected. Mr. I. N. Taylor, the Secretary of the State Board of Immigration, has just returned fromatiip through Stanton, Morrison, Colfax, Boone, Platte, and Antelopa counties. He has seen many of the homesteader? who settled on their lands last year. He was apprehensive that the long cold winter might h ive discouraged them. But he says that the settlers are an intelligent diss of people, who read newspapers and who get a good many letters and papers from the Fait. Thy are well aware that the weather has not been so severe here as there and thc3' are well pleased with their change. As the spring time comes they go out to till their own lands with the energy which is born of hope, THi: TltnCNOK IIOISE TO BE ItE- jiovr.n. Messrs. Townly & McFihenny, the proprietor's of this celebrated hotel, in Lincoln, contemplate one of the biggest jobs of house moving ever attempted in the State. The present site' of tho house is too far from the centre of business, and they are preparing to remove the whole house about four squares, to a better Iccation. Some Chicago parties have undertaken the job, and we suppose the work can bo done, but we are a little inclined to doubt until we see tlie thing moving. TWO JiLff A.M mSTItlCTS. A very important local measure has just succeeded in Congress, whereby the incoming settlers in Nebraska will be re lieved of an onerous burdeu of travel and expense. The bill establishing two new land districts in Nebraska, introduced in the Senate by Mr. Hitchcock, and de fended in the House by Mr. Taffe, has become a law. One is to be located on the north side :uid tho other on the south tide of the Platte river. Heretofore, it has been the policy to remove our land offices west as the front ier of U. S. lands slowly traveled to ward the setting sun. But since the passage of the Homestead Law, this plan has to be somewhat modiSed. A title is not perfect to a homestead entry until the expiration of five years, when the settler must visit the Land Office with his witnesses and "prove up" and receive his patent. Hence it is necessary that the present offices in the State be continued where they are, for the benefit cf old homsteaders, while others are provided on tha frontier for new entries. We congratulate our Representatives iu Congress and the people at large on the passage of this bill. There will be preaching in the Presby- M 1 . . .

Trecinct Conventions. Saturday, May, 4th. Mrs. Beecher-Stowe's income from farming in Florida is said to amount to $15-000 a year. This is quite as much as Mr. Greeley makes by agriculture with all his knowledge of farming. One of tiie Cass County delegates to St. Louis had his overcoat stolen while at the Southern Hotel. A Chicago Times correspondent, now traveling in the South, writes home : "The readiness with which the people South ask you to drink is only more re markable than the readiness with which the invitation is usually accepted. The further South you go the oftener you are asked to drink, and the seldomer do you refuse." The .Nebraska delegates to St Louis were received with the utmost cordiality. They were wlried, dined, and if we can believe the St. Louis papers, were shown all the sights in tha City. STATEN.4BR ITII Sa'lIOOLCOSTES- rio.v. We are requested to state that the IleV. Chidlaw of Cincinnati, and other earnest and well known speakers and workers, will be present and address the State Sabbath School Convention to be held in this place on the 2nd Tuesday of May. It is not, perhaps generally known in this vicinity, nevertheless it is a truth, that the success of the Iloosac Tunnel enterprise is traceable directly to the in ventive genius and engineering skiil of Col Thomas Doane, present Superin tendant and Chief Engineer of the B. & M. iu Nebraska. He was chief engineer npon that great work for over three years at its cammencenient, and every plan and every principle of machinery, which has proven so successful in carry ing ontjthnt wonderful work were inaugu rated by him during 1 he timo he had charge of the work. It must be peculiarly gratifying now to Col. Doane to know that his plans and his inventions of machinery for the pecu liar wcrk required, are tho only ones,(al though many oihers were tried, ) that were able to stand the test of practice; and especially must this fact be gratify ing to him because that many of his plans were looked upon, at the time he at tempted to put them in practice, as vis ionary in the extreme. But time, which tests all things, has proven the soundness of his views and the unsoundness of the views of those who ridiculed his theories because they had not the me hanical tal ent to understand them. THE TRESIS KA(I.ROAI. The Committee who has just returned from St. Louis, report no definite ar rangements as regards the construction of this most important line of Road. Propositions were made to the Missouri PaciGe, but that Company were not pre pared to say that they would take hold of the enterprise. What the people want is for some Company to say that they are prepared to take hold of the enterprise and the Counties along the line will come forward and give the necessary aid. The following from the Omaha Herald comes nearer the solution of this problem than anything we have yet seen. Mr. Joy can and wo believe will take hold and construct the Road if the same prop osition be made to them that was made to St. Louis. "The plugging'process whereby power ful corporations contend for the territory now so fast becoming occupied and valu able for profitable railway enterprises, is one which is notable for the strategy practised in carrying it out, and in the results to which it leads. The game has been played with consummate skill and energy in Northern Kansas and South ern Nebraska by trunk lines of road whose interests appear to be identical, but which are really adverse, as is illustrated in the case of the Burlington interests as concerned in the St. Joseph, Quincy, Iowa and Nebraska and Kansas lines and combinations. Wo are not sufficiently acquainted with the competition to un ravel tho points at which these lines cease to have common interests. All we do know is that, with the forecast and grasp which have placed Jamis F. Joy among the first of living railroad project ors, that remarkable man has secured footholds and franchises in Kansas and this State which render it more than pos sible that, with the plugging, or what we should prefer to call the shut-out-policy, he may be an inconvenient stumbling block in the way of the building of the Trunk railroad uuless he can be allowed control of it. This is merely suggested as a possible obstruction to that success from which the Committee who have received so much encouragement in St. Louis for the immediate building of the "link" hav reason to expect so much. But of all this they are doubtless well advised, and we throw out these intimations in regard to Mr. Joy and the situation be cause it may be important to consult, if not to conciliate him. It will not be for gotten that Mr. Joy has long had a steady and yearning eye on the Trunk, and, as we understand, te is the only man who has ever made definite propo sitions to the people for building it. But it is likely that all obstacles will be over come to secure the direct outlet to St.- Louis by the river line, and of course no effort will be either relaxed or wanting to make this result a certainty at the earli est practicable day." STATE H. H ASSOCIATION. The Nebraska Sabbath School Asso ciation will hold its Anniversary in Piatt? mouth, on the second Tuesday of May next. It is exceedingly desirable that all the schools in the State should be represented. The fundamental princi ple of our orgsnization is the rcligioun culture and training of the children through tho agency of the Sabbath Schools and Bible truth. On this broad non-sectarian ground we feel justified in expeting the hearty union and earnest co-operation of all who labor for the pro motion of these ends : and that the an nual meeting may be productive of in creased efficiency in every department of Sabbath School work. The services of eminent speakers have been solicited, and we may confidently anticipate a time of spiritual profit and instruction. Other States are rendering like insti tutions a power for good J let Nebraska move to the front rank ; and her moral and spiritual advancement be commen surate with her personal rapid material progress ! Will tho press give publicity to the call? Will tho Pulpit in all the churches lead the press in heralding the same ? Will the Sabbath School be repre sented by their most active, earnesti en thusiastic workers ? Let a contribution, however small, be sent in with the annual reports from all the schools. Will the schools from this city devote their attention to this matter on the 28th of April? D. W. Scott, Pres't Neb. S. S. Association. Mr. Cf B. Palmer has purchased a half interest in the Beatrice Express. The Exprest is one of the best papers in the State. The Lincoln Statesman, has got the Dolly Varden on the brain, and publish es a loDg list of Dolly Varden items. It forgot to mention that a tin can may be come a Dolly Varden when tied to a dog8 tail. What a simple thing a Dol ly Varden is. The name of Pepperville, in Butler County, has leen changed to Alexis.

Pre! f y good weight. Ono two year old steer weighed J4C2 lbs. Who can beat it ? Chronicle. Chas. Walker, of Ashland, the Greeley of Nebraska, says his idea of a Dolly Varden is a little confused, but to the best of his recollection he thinks it is an old fashioned drink, called in these late days "stone fence." They have Dolly Varden hash at-Lin- coln. It is quite popular with those who are fond of hash. The Statesman says that the Cincin nati "Leaven ' is at work and fast leav ening the whole lump. We have briefly figured on the matter and find that the leaven referredjto amounts in numbers, all told, to about eleven ; and hence we conclude that eleven was meant instead of leaven. But if we are not correct, and leaven is the world really intended, we can't see that the leavening business is paying. In this section of the State we have heard of no converts, and feel safe in saying there will be none. The Republicans of Cas3 county will stand by the old party, and will send up a larger majority than ever for the Phila delphia nominee, at the election next fall. COr.XriL PROCEED I NGN.

Some careless boys thought of amus ing themselves on Wednesday, last, by building a fire out of leaves which had blown into a gutter, close to the stable f Dr. John Black. Tha flames scorched the siding, and if he had not been there to put the fire out promptly, would have burned the building up. Something should be done to put a stop to this careless habit of boys firing everything that will burn.

Cox, of this city, died Sunday afternoon, after a long and painful illness. During the whole time of her illness, although her sufferings were intense, she did not complain, and seemed, to appreciate the situation. By her kind and quiet ways she won a host of friends who will drop a tear when they hear that she is gone. The Committee of Investigation in the sale of arms, report the following conclu sions 1st.

Brown of Missouri, was on his way to Topc ka to attend the "Liberal" Convention last week, the train on which he was riding met with an accident which came near proving a serious one. The axle of the baggage-car broke while the train was at full speed, and a general hma;h-up seem ed inevitable. The baggage car was en tirely demolished and the track torn up for two hundred yards, but strangely enough no one was seriously hurt. The train was delayed peven hours in repair ing the track and eleaiing away the debris. All of which is a warning to Governors not to attend Liberal Conventions. An immense mass meeting of the friends of Gen. Grant was held at Coop er Institute last Wednesday, at which resolutions were adopted favoring his re- nomiation. DEATHS. MAN WELL.

See her pallid countenance but a short time ago the picture of ruddy health, the envy of the school and the pride of the household. She was always welcomed by her schoolmates, for her lithe form and pleasing disposition carrfed cheerfulness into their ranks. Diligent, punctual and exemplary obedient and graceful at home she won the hearts of all. But alas, we arc sorrowed. Those rosy cheeks and ruddy lips are blanched by Consumption. The voice once so enchanting in laugh and song is feeble, husky and supplanted by a hollow cough: Let ns approach her couch gently and take her hand. Do not shudder because of the feeble and pas sionless grasp. The hand once so hearty and plump is emaciated, and shows bony outlines, while the cords and tortuous veins are plainly mapped upon the sur face. The pulse that bounded with re pletion, carrying igor to tho whole sys tem and imparting life, beauty, vivacity, health and strength, is delicate to the touch. The feebla heart cannot propel the thin, scanty blood with force. Must we lose her while yet in her teens? Com panions and friends gather around with words of cheer and consolation, and de- 5 art with moistened eyes and silent steps: lust we lose her? No ! there is a relief I We can stay this destroyer of our happi ness, and not suffer the loss of so bright a gem.
