PRESIDENT GRANT'S LETTER.
We hope the third-termers are now
satisfied. Gen. Grant has written a
letter to the President of the Penna.
Kepublican Convention, in which he
declares that he never has expected a
third nomination, and does not wish
for any such thing. It is a straight
forward very Grantish sort of letter,
and will no doubt relieve some persons
very ranch. The third term never
troubled the IIkmald any, in Wash
ington. it has some in Plattsmouth
therefore we are not singing peans
over the letter.
The Conntv Commissioners met yes
terday and had a lively time. Petitions
poured in from all quarters; one to re
quest M. L. White, Co. Commissioner,
to resign ; one to ask the Commission
ers to rescind the call for a "special
election" on extension of Bonds ; one
for the appointment of C. P. Moore as
County Clerk, the death of Mr. Mc
Kinnon being an ascertained fact.
The first two were referred to the
County Attorney for advice and au
thority, and on the last they appointed
CAL. MOORE
kunty Clerk to serve until a regular
election next fall.
Let the reader Imagine himself at a
hotel, in a small frontier town, having
under his char' are the wife and child of
a friend, his pocket book tery light, and
still forty-five or fifty miles of road be
tween him and his home (their destina
tion,) said road lying over a wild, unin
habited divide, which at the time Is
covered with several inches of snow;
let him imagine this and lie will have
the "situation."
Then Jet him take such a trip, with
such company, and he will have the
"experience." On a cold morning in
February, having given up all hopes
of my own team coming after us I
hired a "livery rig," of the following
description: a pair of ponies that would
certainly have taken the premium for
lazyness anywhere, a light two seated,
spring wagon, and a "jehu," whom I
certainly recommend as -a very cautious
driver. However wo smothered all
feelings of doubt or distrust, put in our
baggage, seated ourselves, and started
for home. L xm talking with Jehu on
the subject, lie agreed to land us with
in eight miles of home that night, but
after the first mile or two grave doubts
arose in our minus as to ins uoing.so,
for it needed careful observation to
convince us that we were moving it
all ; but hints, gentle remonstrance, and
open and strong expresssons of our
doubts, were alike of no avail.
Night approached, we were miles
from our destination, it soon became
so dark I had to go ahead on foot, to
show the road, which was here a mere
track, and I had frequently to wait for
the team to catch up. About one hour
after dark wo came to a broad field of
snow, and in crossing it we lost the
track. We then fruitletsly wandered
around and among canons for an hour
longer, then fairly exhausted, I told the.
driver we would have to find a deep
canon and camp. This we found with
out trouble, and easing the wagon down
we drew up near some large weeds, un
hitched the horses and tied them out,
then finding we had no matches and
knowing we had no pro vis ions, we com
menced making preparations for the
night. Our stock of bedding consisted
of two small robes, three light blankets,
and two old qnilts. The robes and one
blanket the driver used, and made his
bed under the wagon, with the balance
I arranged a bed for my companion,
her little girl, and myself in the wagon.
The wind blew very strong and cold,
life was at stake for the lady and child
and that was no time for mock modes
ty. The wagon stood with one corner
towards tho wind, so that by my lying
on that same side, I could in ameasnre
break the wind from them. During
the forepart of the night I could have
slept some, as I was very tired, but my
companion feeling ill at ease would
every few minutes ask: "are you asleep
E V" About midnight the cold increas
ed to such an extent that I did not dare
to sleep. It would have been easy for
me to get up and exercise and warm
m-self, but that would not do, for the
child would certainly freeze, and the
lady would likely share the same fate.
Header did you ever get so cold that
your whole body felt icy? did you ever
feel your heart shiver, while your teeth
would rattle a fearful accompaniment?
If so you can guess how I felt. Morn
ing came at last, the little one awoke
saying she was "warm and nice." The
mother was very cold, but thank God!
none of us were frozen.
We soon hitched up, and drove (as it
was cloudy.) about four miles right
away from home. Then about face, and
reached shelter about noon, and there
discharging our livery, we got an ox
team, and reached home safely that
night. E. S. C.
STATE ITEMS. .
Gen.- O'Neill has gone with the first
installment of hi Irish Colonists to

SECTIONALISM AT LINCOLN.
The Omaha Republican under the
above caption, says: "In almost every
act of public thought and opinion, its
zealous citizens see a stab at Lincoln",
etc. This may be partly true, but there
are two sides to this story. With su
perabundant foolishness and gross in
justice the Omaha Herald, Bee, and
nearly all the smart democratic and
republican papers in the state, have
made a business of howling "Lincolu
ring, Lincoln thieves," whenever they
thought they had found a mare's nest
in any state office, forgetting that said
officers were- elected from all parts of
the state and were not chargeable to
Lincoln at all.
Two important conventions met in
Plattsmouth this week.
THE STATE MEDICAL SOCIETY
Opened its sessions on Tuesday morn
ing. Dr. John Black, President. Sev
eral very able papers were read, and
tho City of Lincoln appointed as the
next place of meeting. In the even

with many of our own citizens, were
very handsomely entertained by Dr.
Jno. Black, the President of the Association-

THE UNION SABBATH SCHOOL CONVEN
TION Of Cass county also met on Tuesday.
ITev. David Marquett presiding. Their
exercises were fairly attended, and
much interest shown in the work.

early Thursday morning no further

AN ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.
Mt. Pleasant, May 29th '75.
Mr. Ed. It is with great pleasure
and sincere gratitude, to the donors,
that we acknowledge the receipt of the
generous sum of twenty dollars, from
the hands of Mr. and Mrs. J. Bailey,
and Mrs. Wm. Hobson. The above
.sum is the proceeds of a festival held
in the school house at Mt. Pleasant, for
our benefit, on the evening or the 26th
- inst. Although the evening was un
propitious,yet those present had a very
movable time, and greatly aided in re
lieving their Pastor and family from a
heavy burden, and adding another link
to the golden chain of friendship, that
binds our hearts to each other "a friond
,ueri is a friend Indeed. V lth
many thanks to all, we hope ever to re
main worthy of the esteem and confi
dence f our friends.

Dear Herald: 'Tis not amid burst
ing bombs, nor rattling shell, nor e'en
amid want and poverty, but amidst
the ravages of the uncompromising
grasshoppers, that I undertake to jot
down a few items of news from this
corner of the county. The most absorb
ing item is the ravages of the grass
hoppers. They are destroying every
thing in their track. Many, or most of
the farmers hereabout, are plowing
their wheat fields and planting them to
corn. Here and there, however, can be
seen a field with a very fair prospect
for a wheat crop; but ere to-morrow
night may be entirely destroyed. I know
or some garuens that looked ta.r 3res-
terday morning, that are now dreary
wastes, and this morning, farmers
wives can be seen replanting their gar
dens, relying upon the promise of
"seed time and harvest". But, notwith
standing tne prospect or a snort crop
in this part of the county this year,
there seems to be a bountiful supply
of old grain for home consumption
therefore the people are not entirely
discouragad. The 1 actory ville Mills,
under the most excellent managem
of Graham and Banning, are doing a
lively business. Graham, "the Miller"
of superior ability, is. manufacturing
the very best flour for sale and is doing
a very satisfactory business at custom
work, while "Jim" (Banning) is "doing"
the financial work to the satisfaction
of all concerned.
Our greatest need here is a genera
merchandising and grocery store. If
some lice man would come here and
put in a stock of goods to the amount
of 2 or 3,000 dollars, he would undoubt
edly do well, as our nearest market is
Plattsmouth or Nebraska City. There
is also an opening for a blacksmith at
this place.
The schools in this section are not
in operation this summer, owing to the
magnanimity of the charitable legisla
ture last winter in donating the public
school fund to private institutions.
There is a Lodge of the I. O. O. F. at
this place, and we learn the Lodpre is
in a prosperous condition. The Odd
Fellows have the upper story of the
old store room rented, and it is very
comfortably furnished for a country
hall. -
The health of the community is un
usually good. This I learn from our
resident physician, who is complaining
of having nothing to do, owing to the
unusual good health of the people.
1 et the doctor does not really complain
Dr. IL B. Wallace is a young man of
superior medical and surgical abilities,
a graduate of the Jefferson Medicai
College at Philadelphia, Pa, and is al
ways ready to attend to all calls day
or night, hot or cold, sunshine or cloudy.
There are no accidents, incidents,
marriages or deaths to record at this
time; but by the the sheep's-eye glan
ces and twitterings we see and hear
occasionally, perhaps there will be some
locals to record soon.
I have already strung this out too
long, and will close. More anon.
Brad, Jr.
Welmdan interesting communica
tion in the Beatrice Express over the
signature of "W. II. S," in relation to
the new grass that is taking the lead
of all others in California. It is
thouht that it will be just the thins
for the Platte valley, and the other val
leys of this State. We give the letter
in full:
I wish to say a few words as to the
value of Alfalfa or Chilian clover, and
to urge upon our people the importance
of introducing it into this State. It i3
being extensively grown in California,
and is adding greatly to the wealth of
the Golden State. That it will ulti
mately be of greater value to Nebraska
and Kansas than the gold mines of Cal
ifornia to that State, scarcely admits
of a doubt. The crop report of the
United Sates shows that the hay crop
is second only in point of value to the
corn crop of the country. Mr. Itoper,
in a recent letter to Judge Parker, of
this city, asserts substantially the same
thing. He claims from his experience
with alfalfa that it will yet be worth
more to Nebraska than the entire prop
erty of the State is now worth. This
seems like a pretty broad assertion, yet
its marvelous production in Calfornia
justifies him in making it. He says he
has two cows "lariated" on one-third of
an acre, and that it furnishes more feed
for the cows than they can consume.
The only question with most will
doubtless be, will it succeed in this cli
mate? This question h am glad to be
able to answer in the affirmative. Dr,
Sprague.formerly of this place.obtained
a small quantity of seed two years ago,
which he sowed in his garden, and at
this writing April 12, it is growing fine
ly, and is strongly rooted. It is claim
ed by those who are familiar with al
falfa, that the roots penetrate the
ground to the depth of 12 to 15 feet
This then would seem to settle the
question that it will do for our dry cli
mate. e then say to the-farmers try
airaiia. liiue grass ana Timothy are
hard to get started, but in alfalfa you
have a substitute of far more value
that you can grow easily; at least it is
worth a trial. The seed costs from 18
to 25 cents per pound.
Here is something that should be
more generally known. It is said that
bed-bugs will live a year without air or
food if placed in hemetically sealed
bottle. Persons desiring to keep their
bed-bugs over the winter without feed
ing them will do well to remember this.
Thus science assists the most humble.

neyed through Hellas to go to Naxia,
and as the way was very long, he got
tired and sat down upon a stone to
rest. As lie sat there with his eyes up
on the ground he saw a little plant
spring up between his feet, and was so
much pleased with it that he determin
ed to take it with him and plant it in
Xaxia. He took it up and carried it
with him; but as the sun was very hot
he feared it might wither before he
reached his destination. He found a
bird's skeleton, into which he thrust it,
and went on. Hut in his hand the
plant sprouted so fast that it started
out of the bones above and below.
This gave him fresh fear of it wither
ing, and cist about for a remedy. He
found a lions bone, which was tlucker
than the bird's skeleton, and he stuck
the skeleton with the plant in it into
the bone of the lion. Ere long, howev
er, the plant grew out of the lion's bone
likewise. Then he found the bone of
an ass. larger still than that of the lion;
so he put it into the ass's bone, and
thus made his way to Xaxia. "When
about to set the plant, he found that-
the roots had entwined themselves
around the bird's skeleton and lion's
and ass's bone ; and as he could not
take it out without injuring the roots,
ne piaceu it as it was, ana it came up
speedily, ana bore, to Ins great joy, the
most delicious grapes, from which he
made the first wine, and gave it to
men to drink! Hut behold a miracle!
When first drank of it. they sang like

they became vigorous and gallant like
lions; but when they drank more still
they began to behave like asses.
