l'or 6ncs we had a glorious old
Fourth iu and about Plattsinouth.
Way along in the night, the bells com
menced ringing merry Chimes ('?,), and
the Cannon to peal and the squibs and
'rockets, and little jokes of the day
began. Iy daylight the town was
silive; before nine o'clock the wagons
from the country rolled in to the num
ber of several hundred, and the croud
iu ami sibout the Methodist and
Presbyterian Churches and the corner
of Sixth and Main sts., began to get
thicker and thicker so that it needed
si long and ;i strong liberty pole to stir
your way through the crowd with.
About this time the red shirts of
the firemen began to loom up on the
streets, and after Hilly Wells, the Mar
shall of the day, had conquored a piece
lf horseflesh for his ulc that day, the
procession began to form on lower
Main street. The bells tinkled, the
bands played, and the little boys shout
rd and hurrahed, and by ten o'clock
the. whole outfit, Temperance, anti
temperance, Firemen, Icemen, cold
water men, hot toddy men. black,
white, lean, poor, rich and fat, in sill
the pomp and circumstances of Fourth
of July war, with the I$abcock shining
and the 11 igs flying, and two bands
tooting, and Dr. Black in a red sash
marshalling the south west division,
inarched out of town on Washington
avenue, smd slowly but surely separat
ed, eacli to its seversil grounds.
SOUTH WKST OF TOWN,
In Wiles' grove and near Mr. Shryock's
house, most of the country people had
assembled, and here the Kev. Mr. Dun
gan, of Lincoln, gave them a stirring
siddress, then music and a bouncing
dinner; after which :i Mrs. Beavers,
from Iowa, gave them another speech,
smd then more music and more fun,
and some cra-k;rs. and si little Sunday
School reunion, and the big fourth was
silmost over to all but the little folks,
who kept alive and lively on the
strength, of those fire works promised
in the evening. The Weeping Water
band, ;i most excellent one, kept all in
good humor with appropriate music
the day through.
ON THK HILL
By Ceo. Smith's house were sissembled
the jolly red shirtcd firemen, and the
grave and seiious turners, together
with si goodly number of towns people
and country folks. "Little Mac" of
the WatnJtmnn, read the Declaration.
In the al -sense of the orator of the day,
si Mr. Dodge from Iowa, who was ex
pected on the train that morning, Mr.
McKelluin, a young lawyer lately set
tled in Plattsmouth, was called on ami
made a very happy impromptu speech
of fifteen minutes duration, after
which music and reading smd answer
ing toasts; Mr. Win. L. Wells sictingas
toast master. The printed program
mes have been pretty widely circulat
ed smd as our time and space are both
needed this .-week .we shall not give
them in detail. Just before dinner
A BAG RACE
took phice; four competitors in large
sacks tied under the chin ; they rolled
and tumbled and crawled and jumped
and a chap csilled "Texas Bill," reached
tiie goal first, thereby winning a good
silver watch. After dinner
THE TIG RACE
came off. The porcine was well greased
smd turned loose, unfortunately he
was si tame pig belonging to Johnny
White and did not run worth a cent.
Four fellows poked him up with sticks
md punched his majesty into a wab
bly knock-kneed hog trot, but Mr. Ilob
inson caught him and we expect Mr.
Pig bacon long before this writing
or Kobinson. One man bumped his
hesul on the turning pole and got a real
ood Fourth of July over both eyes.
They do say that one of our young
livery men sat down just before he
" meant to right under the pole too. By
four o'clock the engine, boys and all
were back in the engine' house, and
everybody was getting ready for the
BALL IX TIIE EVENING.
Filzgeralds Hall was crowded, and
fight here we must pay our compli
ments to the Xebraska City Band,
which discoursed sweet patriotic music
during the dsiy and most excellent
dancing tunes at night, so they say.
Over one hundred and fifty dollars
. were taken in, and pecunarily the
Firemen's Ball was a grand success.
Still later in the evening, a magnifi
cent display of Fire Works from Park
Hill was given by the members of the
fire department It is no untruth to
say that many larger cities probably
had no better fire works than these,
and the citizens should thank the fire
boys for procuring them this splendid

in anotber'day.
During last week the grand examin
ations ot the close of the Spring term
took phit e and were very interesting
indetd. These examinations were con
ducted by Prof. Wise, the city and
county Superintendent of Public
j Schools, anil Dr. It. It. Livingston, the
.j Msiyor of the city, and also Chairman
of the Board of Education for the citj--It
has been very arduous- work, no one
who has not tried the experiment of
sitting day after day, listening, think
ing, siskingquestions in this hot weath
er, can fairly resilize the amount of la
bor it involves. Besides sdl this it is
not every one who h;is left school for
years sind is out of practice, that can
follow a long mathematical problem
through its windings and pronounce it
right, before the sharp eyes of these
youngsters; nor csm sill of us correctly
analyze a complex sentence at sight,
sifter years of business duties where
our thoughts have run in other chan
nels. Yet sill these tilings must the
examiners do smd they did it. Our
Mayor becsime si veritable schowl boy
sigain and stood long hours at the. black
board going through 2 plus 2-4 or a
plus b c x.
We certainly feel that too much
praise cannot be bestowed on Msiyor
Livingston, his untiring devotion in
this respect and to Prof. Wise, we sill
owe a debt of gratitude, and he is
reaping the well earned reward of a
life tiineof strict attention to duty.
And now to the examinations on
Friday. In any notice that we could
possibly give and bring it within the
compass of a newspaper article, it
would be impossible to mention by
name each scholar who merits notice
We shsill call attention to a few names
not because they are the only ones that
deserve credit, but simply to show the
young folks that we see their good poi nts
and encoursige them in future efforts.
In Mr. Martindale's chiss we notice
Theodore Livingston natural history,
his discription wsus very good, he spoke
up promptly, readily and with con
fidence. Lillie Tucker in Physiology
showed a very apt memory and also
spoke out promptly and clearly, which
makes it so plesising to hesir and easy
to understand for the visitors.
Charles Cummins showed himself
very bright in Arithmetic only he
could'nt get 2 into l- just right the
first time.
CALISTHENICS.
Miss Johnson put her grsule through
a course of physical exercises that they
would have hung si teacher for doing
twenty years sigo in some rursil dis
tricts. These exercises were very im
portant and tend to develop every
muscle in the body when the whole
course is fsiirly mastered. The last
part, that heel and toe arrsuigement
comes mighty near dancing and some
of the bright eyes smd trembling feet
only needed si little change in the music
to turn it into a quick-step, we thought
The marching and time marking sil
most made us believe in women for
soldiers. At the end of this exhibi
tion there wsis loud clapping and
cheering.
In Miss Morse's class we notice Miss
Bennett in (leography and Master
(Jcorge Yallery Mentsil Arithmetic, sis
particularly good, and if the hitter
keeps on he msiy rival the Lightning
Csilculatcr himself.
Some specimens of drawing were
very good, the accuracy of the lines
drawn with the eye alone and without
the aid of guide or rules wsis wonder
ful. Another exhibition of physicsil ex
ercises of a higher grsule, under the
charge of Miss Morse with dumb bells
drew our attention. It was very well
done indeed, suul the young women
that go through this exercise every dsiy
will hsive to dress hygienicsilly and
physiologicsilly.
In Mr. Starbird's chiss, Miss Katie
Donovan read us si piece very nicely
and Miss Kate Ilobbs told us sill about
Nebrsiska.
We must leave for another time
some comments on the great improve
ment in teaching of late years, the
namber of new appliances and the
great beauty of school rooms and
school furniture over our school boy
days, and close with ahesirty wish that
our High School may incresise and
grow and the scholars improve and
strengthen in wisdom and knowledge
until there would be no further room
for improvements, if such a thing were
possible. With such good Professors,
teachers smd school board, almost all
things are possible.
SYNOPSIS OF JUDGE DILLON'S DE
CISION ON TIIE KAIL ROAD
LAND TAX CASES.
In the Hunnewell case Judge Dil
lon, of the United States Circuit
court, decides in substance : First,
that the third section of . the act of
18G2, looking to the grant of the U. P.
It. It., does not apply to the Burlington
i and Missouri 11. It. grant i. e. that the
amendatory sict of 1801, passed for the
B. itM, wsis not intended and does
not give that corporation all the rights
thsit the U. P. It. It. took under the act
of 18G2, and orders that the bill be
dismissed at the railroad's cost as to
first 140 miles of the B. & M. grant,
which was completed prior 'to May,
1872. Thus allowing the State to tsix
the lands of this company embraced
in their grsmt for 140 miles west from
the Missouri river, for 1872.
In the U. P. case, he decides thsit the
U. P. It. It. shall pay tax for all their
patented lands, and, if we understand
the decision, he decides that after the
completion of the railroad if any of
their lands should remain undisposed
of, the citizen can file on such lands
and hold them by paying his $1.2. per
acre to the LT. P.
In mentioning these decisions, we
observe that neither the Omahsi Re
publican nor Lincoln Journal give
any credit to the attorneys for Csiss
and Saunders counties. Mr. Sprsigue,
of Saunders county, (now of Cass),
rendered efficient aid in this csise. One
of our Csiss county attorneys Sam
uel M. Chapman, has. with Judge
Briggs, been in defsitigably working
this csise up from the commencement.
Mr. Chapman wsis the party who went
to Burlington and took the depo
sitions of the Railroad men, and also
to Boston, and next to Judge Briggs, is
entitled to sis much honor as any one,
if honor there be in it, of msistering
and investigating this vexed question
smd seeing thsit it wsis placed before
the courts in such si light thsit a fav
orsible decision for the counties inter
ested wsis rendered. Honor to whom
honor is due, aad we propose our Sam.
shall get some of this while it's go
ing round.
OF It LOUISVILLE LETTER.
To-raos
Louisville, Xeb., )
July 7, 1874. ,
Ed. Herald: The Fourth passed
off smoothly and peacefully as was sm
ticipated, anil met the full expectations
of all who participated, and was unan
imously pronounced a grand success?
The weather was as favorable as could
be expected, and no one suffered with
heat or for want of water.
The procession, which numbered np
pards of si thousand, presented the
liveliest spectacle our little town ever
witnessed as it moved from the depot
to the grove with bsmners floating in
the morning breeze and the bsmd dis
coursing its sweetest music.
The exercises of the day were exe
cuted with marked ability and patriot
ism throughout, smd were listened to
by a large and appreciative audience,
and every one felt that it wsis "good
to be there."
At one o'clock the "baskets' bounte
ous store was spread upon the green
so fair," and naught but mirth and jol
lity around could be seen, and thus the
hours wended away until evening,
when the lovers of the light fantastic
toe came on to-the stage in the closing
scene ; and so ended a day long to be
remembered by the early settlers of
Nebraska as one of th brightest in a
lifetime.
Yours in freeiora.

PERSON A I-
John Simpson, an old resident of
Plattsmouth, late of Wyoming, has
returned to his ancient corn-crib and
good old fashioned Cass county fodder,
no more to wonder sifter strange Gods
sibrosid.
Mrs. (Harrison, our well known dress
maker, has left us for a season smd re
moved to Ashland. We are .sorry to
lose Mrs. G. smd as she wsis doing a
good business, only a better prospect
ahesid induced her to change residence.
We learn from Mr. L. W. (liberson
of Weeping Water, that the house of
Mr. Hsimlin Itussel, of the same phice
was burned on the 4th of July. The
fsimily h;id gone to Mt. Pleasant to
celebrate, leaving some of the children
sit home to herd the stock. The chil
dren got their dinner at noon, smd
whether they left some fire, or how it
caught is not known, but the house
with its contents wsis entirely con
sumed. We arc sire sorry for Mr. Bus
sell, sis such a loss must be a great one.
The Simple Secret.
Twenty clerks in a store, twenty
hands in a printing office, twenty ap
prentices in a ship yard, twenty young
men in si villsige all wanting to get on
in the world, and expect to do so
One of the clerks will become a part
ner, smd make si fortune, one of the
compositors will own si newspaper,
sind become sin influential citizen; one
of the apprentices will become a inas
ter builder, one of the young villagers
will get a handsome farm smd live
like a psitriarch but which one is the
lucky individual ? Lucky! There is no
luck about it. The thing is almost as
certain sis si rule yf three. The
your.g man who will distance his com,
petitors is he who masters his buisness
who preserves his integrity, who lives
clesmly and purely, whe devotes his
leisure to the acquisition of knowledg,
who gains friends by deserving them,
and who saves his spare money. There
are some ways to fortune shorter thsin
this old dusty highwsiy, but the
staunch men of the community, the
men who achieve something worth
having, good fortune, good name, and
serene old sige sill go in this road.
rress.
Remember this young mVm we sire
two apt to desire riches, and big wages,
and the good things of life without
working for them now-a-days.
Late Conventions. v
There arc some very strong resisons
why the Republicsm Stsite Convention
should not be called before the middle
or hitter part of September. There is
nothing to be gained by msiking the
nominations in midsummer, smd wait
ing for weeks and months before doing
anything in the way of organizing po
litical meetings and discussions. Be
sides si nomination by the Republican
psirty is equivalent to an election, hence
the greatest care should be observed
in selecting csmdidates, smd sill the time
possible aiforded to those who desire
to inform themselves as to the capa
bilities, integrity and general fitness of
the men who are aspiring to positions
of public trust and honor, j It. is im
portant thsit sufficient time should in
tervene between the close of the pres
ent session of Congress and the time
appointed for the conventions for the
voters to learn of the many measures
of reform advocsited and enacted into
hiw through the instrumentality of
Republicans. Sta te Ewdia n ge
