We learn from E. H. Noxoo that a
State Grange of this order will be organ
ized at Grand Island on J uly 231, by
Wm. Duane Wilson, of the Iowa Home
stead.
There is already one Grange in this
County, and others are to be organized
about the middle of Jane. Information
relative to the organization, can be ob
tained by calling upon us. We think all
who are interested in agricultural pur
suits had better attend, and if any be do
fit to farmers is to be obtained from these
organizations, our county may as well go
in.

Festivals and socables seem to be the
order of the week, on Tuesday of last

held a pleasant and profitable gathering
of this kind at FitzgeralJs Hall. Thurs
day our Presbyteran friends jubilated on
Strawberries and cream, and this week
' St Luke's" gave another Strawberry
feast of reasonably large berries, and a
flow of cream that was delightfull. Hes
ser still lives and we have his generous 1
pic-nic and mighty Strawberry feed in
anticipation. Hurrah for Plattsmouth.
We were shown through the large,
handsome store of E. T. Duke & Co.
last wekk. It is a fine building, with
all facilities for transacting a large busi
ness, with dispatch and certainty, and it
13 DJled with a fane stock ot goods,
which tho proprietors are selling cheap
for cash.
Extremes arc never useful, but whether
it would be better for a farmer to plant
corn and have it rot Dy reason 01 wet

and be withered by sun power, we can't
tell. It is a distinction without a differ
ence, 1. e. : there is a distinction be
tween wet weather and a hot sun no
difference to the corn if either lights on
it too heavy.

Philadelphia, June 6.
A meeting wa3 held at the Soldiers'
and Sailors Assembly Rooms, last night,
under the auspices of the New York
delegation to the Convention, held for
the purpose of ratifying the nomination,
Gen. Burnside presiding. Resolutions
were adopted providing a committee of
one veteran from each State, and Ter
ritory, to call a Mass Ratification meet
ing at Philadelphia.
All tho morning the streets were
crowded with vast throngs of people,
moving to and fro. The day is delight
ful and there is a grand display of bunt
ing from public buildings, all over the
city. The spectacle is of the grandest
character. At the Academy of Music
flags are numerously displayed extend
ing far across the streets. The Acade
my was filled long before the hour for
tho assembling of the Convention. The
delegates were all seated at about half
past ten, entering the hall amid the
warmest demonstrations and enthusiasm.
Every available space in the Academy
was taken, excepting the third tier
which was mostly unoccupied yesterda;-.
This morning it is literally packed, many,
owing to heat in that quarter, appearing
in their shirt sleeves.
The Committee on Platform not hav
ing come in, there was some delay in
opening the session, owing, it is under
stood, to a somewhat serious difference
of opinion in the Committee.
At half pa&t ten the chairman took
his seat and called the Convention to or
der. After music by the band, the roll
of States was called. The presence of
each man was .announced by the chair
man of the respective delegations. It
was discovered that about 100 persons
had obtained entrance surreptitiously to
the Hall all of whom were expelled by
the Sergeant-at-Arms. Prayer was of
fered by Rev. Dr. Harper of North
Broad Street Church.
The National Committee is to be
named by the respective States. Unani
mously adopted. It includes the names
of J. Q. Scammon, 111. ; O. P. Morton,

speech, referring to Greeley, he said,
t'-ie people of the South respected more
the man who had been firm and had
made them behave themselves. If the
democrats nominated Greeley at .Balti
more, he believed that Grant would get
more Democratic votes in Louisiana than
Greeley. (Great Cheering. Mr. Stran
