Here we are, 10 one of the handsom
est village in tbe State. The main
street is built between two Jakes which
come upto the Lack doors of some of the
houses anj touch the gardens of nearly
all of them. It must be very beautiful
in summer about here. In fact the town
is quite a watering place. Manv fine
rides and drives are hereabout, a minia
ture steamer plies on the lakes, and
nearly everybody has a boat of some
sort instead of a horse, which in nam
mer comes very handy. Just now boat
ing is rather under wen her, that ia un
der the snow. It has been fearfully
old tip hire: they do tell of the ther-
no aider going down to 34 some days
last week, and if the thing had been
longer the weather would have been
colder.

Our Glcndale Letter.
Glendale, Neb., Dec. 2C, JS72.
Kd. IIehald : Are you tired out,
waiting for the next letter, telling you
how the Bibld question, or debate re
sulted? If so, tire nu longer, for the
agony is long since over. The question
was reconsidered again and again, until
finally it appeared thusly :
Rtsolwl, That the Bible should not
be read, tau.cht and explained, in our
public schools.
Thus, placing the negative in the
aHirmative, this added to a failure of
part of the Bible force to put in an ap
pearance, gave the Bible opponents the
verdict.
Since then we have done the business
for "Nature and Art." art ahead
although there were fome very natural
arguments; and also the Railroad Bond
question ; on this question, after the de
bate, the judges retired into open air,
and it being a decidedly cool night, toon
agreed not to vote bonds, because rail
roads use up so much fuel, and we are
in danger of getting our ears frozen
these frostj- mornings going down to the
station for a ride to the hub (of Cas).
To-morrow eve. we are to decide
trli'ch a man will strive hardest for,
"Wealth cr Honor." We are to be
there, and wish you might be, to give us
a lift on "Hjnor bright," for an editor
should know all about the article, that
being his loal reward, for emptying his
brain pan.
Weil, our Lyceum -is a success; our
"paper," a semi-niontblv, has twice
made its sppoarance, under tbe very
touching name of "The Young Iuno
cent." It is very ably edited and pub
lished by Geo. W. Bouton & Co. And
a for our essays, select reading, &c. ,
&c, they are certainly deserving of
credit, for a country town.
We feel for Platti-niouth, but can't
reach it, i. e. over the loss of their "Old
Folks Club." We have as yet failed to
see tho obituary. Why is this tuus ?
as it not oldenough.? Ah! me! If
we could but wield the poets pen, and
indite a mournful hi'c J'tret, &e. .; but
this cannot be, so we will return from
the'clouds, and for this time bid you
and yours good night. Esc.

that the so-called board of trustees, if

Cursed are the lawyers and type found

There are many great writers in this
country who have pone into the editorial

the expansion of their god like faculties
Such is our experience.
The following t-harp retort of the
York Monitor on the Milford Record,
so clearly demonstrates the result, to
any community or locality, of the anti
bond policy, in reference to railroads,
tb.2,t .src clip the article entire for thd
benefit of f.27 oti-bopd men we may
have in Cass county.
The Milford Record, in -referring to
railroad matters in York county scys,
that in case the M. P. goes north of
I'ork county, an excellent route would
be left open for another and perhaps a
better company to construct a road from
Lincoln to Grand Island, via York, and
that this ror.te will not remain unnoticed
by railroad builders! We agree with
Bro. Culver exactly, that tli5,?ffa?e:wl7T
De left open till dooms da;?and that
railroad builders will notice us as a peo
ple loll behind in the marct. of o vula
tion and progress. The P.icord then
says : -"Patience, and a liUla more in
dependence at this juncture; may be a
tew dollars in the pocet-Mi jjf ork coun
ty citizens." Now, we wishlonly to call
attention to the result of ik? patience
and Independence of the Milord people
in regard to railroad matters Milford,
they thought, was a natural point for a
-ailroad, and they felt sore they would
get the road any how. Bu; 'two road s
have already avoided that "natural
rioint."" And where is M.tifru to-day ?
The county feat has dcsertefl.it. Some
.of it beat citizens have jfol.owed it.
Others have sold out and f tuved to dis

areiikely to get one. Miifonl umd- 1 fe

the injunction against rredericka Brandt

Uourt. o uaMwruuiHiona was as.fc.eu to
reverse the decision of Judge Blodgttt,
ror. The question involved in the de
cision is whether real estate held by mar
ried women conveyed by the husband to
a thirl partv. and bv the latter to the
wife, the husband beingetolvcnt at tnc J
tiui;, exempts said real estate from the
lieu of the creditors, when the husband
becomes a bankrupt. The lawyers on
either side entered into elaborate argu

Jud"re Drummond, in deciding, sustained
tbe point made by the counsel for the
creditors, which held that, in a construe
lion of the statute and the rules of the
iota tiie in .omeor tne r state as ner sep
arate property. He, however, sustaiued
the A-t point made by the counsel lor .the
petitioner, which was as lollows:
1'jven it the Court should hold that
thi the separate property of the wife.
where creditors are asking the Court to
subject the income or the wile s proper
ty to the husband's debts, the Court
should order a reference to a:ertain
whetLcr any provi-ion hasheeu mude for
the maintenance of the wite and family.
and, if not, then the Jort should make
such provision out of this ineome, on the
principle that where a party is seeking
cuuitv he should ftrst do equity.
