THE ASHTABULA DISASTER. Terrible Loss of Life. On Friday evening, December 29th, the Pacific Express train on the L. S. &, II. S. R. R., while crossing a bridge over the Ahtabula river was precipi tated by the giving way of the bridge into the water, a distance of seventy five feet below. The train consisted of elev- n cars, six of which were passen gers coaches, drawn by two engines. A severe wind and snow storm was raging and the cars taking fire imme diately from the stoves at either end the passengers were only enabled to escape by breaking out the windows. The wind fanned the flames so rapidly and the heat became so intense that in a few moments it became impossible to render any aid, and numbers who had not been mortally injured by the fall, were held fac.f'ty the falling tim bers, and either burned or drowed. There were supposed to be about 250 on the train of whom nearly half per ished. For the Nebraska Herald. " WEATHER REPORT.

Maximum velocity, 17th and 19th, 35 miles per lour. Days on which exposed Thermome ter was below zero: 1st, 6; 8th, 2; 0th, 4o; 16th, 1; 17th, 2o; 18lh, 5 ; 25th. 5 ; 28th C2 ; 29th, 4 ; 30th, 9. The we'st channel of the Missouri river was closed by ice Nov. 30th ; the east channel, Dec. 3d. The December part has been coldsr by nearly 7 than the mean for 12 years past, and only one of the 12 years has been colder, viz: Dec, 1872, of which the mean was 1C.08; yet from the small amount of wind, and the steady even character of the weather, it has not been an unpleasant month. The old settler of from 1857 to 18G7, who recalled the sudden and extreme changes of from 50 and 6i) down to 25 and 30, below zero with the fierce accompanying winds, will not hesitate in choice of this weather, although the thermometer says it Is from 5 to ICo colder. -. A remarkable feature of the month was the large meteor of the 21st, at 8 'clock and 7 minutes p. m. Its very large size and apparent slow motion, from its great height, and the portions of blazing matter detached from it in its flight, and left behind, attracted the attention of observers. Iu Iilinois and Indiana s. loud report made either in passage, or on bursting, was generally noticed. I hope soon to have a full de tailed report of course. Some readers may not understand the different records of the "exposed" "Maximum" and "Minimum" thermom eters. They are all equally exposed t the weather, bat the "exposed" is record ed at three fixed hours just as it then stands. While the maximum and min imum are so constructed as to indicate only the extremes of heat and cold iu the past 24 hours. A. L. Child. subscribe for the IIeualp. FEOJf THE CAPITAL. Lincoln, Jan. 3d, 1877. The great event of the season of course was the assembling of the Leg islature on Tuesday. At 12 o'clock the House was called to order by Sec. Tschuck, and Mr. Northrop, of Fil more was elected temporal y speaker. Our eld friend Guy Brown officiating as temporary sec'y ., with the aid and advice of "Gad," that is to say the new members wern't gadding, but on the contrary seem to be "tendin' to their knitten" very assiduously. The com mittee on credentials reported the mem bers elected as given in the Herald a few weeks ago with the exception of the 88th dist., in which there is or will be a contest between Mr. Barnum and Mr. Ryan. It appears , that Guy C. Barnum, son of old "Guy," and every body knows him, was nominated and ran for the Legislature. The tickets were printed or written In every sort of shape, G. C. Baraum, Guy C. Barnum, Guy Barnum Jr., and so on. The can vassers returned these names aa one person and gave Barnum a certificate; afterwards the Clerk seems to have re viewed the matter, and now sends up an abstract of the votes cast which gives Mr. Ryan, the Republican candi date a majority. "The majority of the committee on credentials reported in favor f Mr. Ryan, and Dr. Bear of Norfolk, (dem.) made a minority re port in favor of Mr. Barnum. The minority report was adopted, and for the Dresent Barnum has 'em. In due time the members were sworn in by Judge Gantt, and on permanent organ ization, Mr. Albinus Nance va3 elect ed speaker. Mr. Slaughter, known as "Gad," permanent Clerk, and Mr. Zedi- ker, assistant clerk of the Hoii3e. OLD FRIENDS. Among tbe familiar faces we notice in the House, whom the Herald has known in other days, long ago, are Mr. Pollock, of Cuming, Dr. Bear of Nor folk, N. Belden, of Dodge, Mr. Frady, from the hyperborean regions, Mr John son of Burt, Mr. Barnum of Platte, Mr. Wolfe of Seward, (editor Reporter), and Mr. Spick of Washington; in fact, we guess Spick is chrouic from there, he is always a member, and his name and Washington County are almost syno- nims ; good man too, is Spick. the ttiree b's from Cass sit all m a row, Beardsley, Bobbit and Barker. We have just re marked that Barnes ought to have been home and been elected, and then we Bhould have had all B's. Nevertheless we like Gilmore quite well, and G's rhymes to B's we guess the Kass Koun ty delegation will get along harmoni ously this winter. in the senate. Mr. Blanchard, of Dodge, was elect ed President of the s enate, the Lt. Gov ernor, Mr. Abbott, not being able to act untiLThursday, when the new con stitution, that wonderful instrument provides that all the newly elected of ficers shall swear and begin their mis chief. Our "Dan" the "Vet" was duly elected Sec'y. of the Senate, and Messrs. Seeley and Baldwin assistants. BOTH HOUSES are now in order and grinding away very solemn, very serious, and really think they are doing the business of the State in a public way, but the third House organized last night and elected Mr. Collins, of Pawnee, Squatter Gov ernor, and we rather think he and his cohorts will have something to say about affairs. Mr. Kont, of the Jour nal, is sec'y. of this house, and they mean business. Mr. Chapman will bo chairman f the Judiciary Com. without doubt, an honor he is entitled to, 'being ,a good lawyer and one of the old members. AMONG THE OLD FACES' here the Herald sees Mr. Crawford of Cuming, and Mr. Walton of Blair. The town hotels are moderately full, but not so full as we expected to see. Thare is not a very large lobby as yet, a few days more, however, will bring them, and then look out. TJ. S. SENATOR AND THINGS. Now I havn't said a word about who is to be Senator, and yet the Herald readers are dying to know. Well, I'll tell you the reason. I asked more as two dozen members who was the man and who they were going to vote for, and they all said they "didn't know" to both questions, and I asked just as innocent and honest, too, as I knew how, strange isn't it ? Well, it's almost 12, and I must close for this time. More anon, as the pro fessional letter writers say. Mao. LATER. AND STILL THEY COME! I never saw such a crowd of appli cants for positions in and about both branches of the Legislature. One thing more members does, it makes more applicants for clerks, for every member has a fellow or two he has promised to get something for. Take 114 members and give each at least three promises and it makes 342 to be provided for: now you see where part of the crowd at Lincoln comes from. A WHIRL. They had a whirl in the Senate this afternoon pver the Committee, Chap man and Van Wyck, Van wanted a committee of three to appoint com mittees and got them. Their report was brought in and didn't suit our boys, and in. 10 minutes they had rejected the report and made out a new pro gramme fixed up the new committees to suit and passed it. Sam got the chairmanship of the judiciary. Mr. Nance is making a very good record as speaker. Mac. They tell the following on Tom Cav anaugh: A regular Kilkenny Mickie took him by the hand one day and sa luted him: "Wid that name, that mug o' yours, that brogue, and the illumin ated probocis. it's a mystery who the divil iver took yees into the republican party. Parsons Sun. Tom Cavauaugh is Secretary of State in Kansas and one of the b'ys. Go and see Rip Van Winkle to-night at Fitzgerald's Hall. MUSICAL CONTENTION AT WEEPING TTATER. Special Correspondence.! We arrived at Weeping Water at eleven a. m. on Thursday, and found the Musical Convention under the able direction of Prof. E. B. Gier, of Tabor, Iowa, hard at work, with a good force, Mrs. Geer presiding most efficiently at the piano. It was intended at first to close with a concert on Friday evening but as the Methodist people had ar ranged for a grand supper for that eve, the concert was postponed until Satur day. The Professor gave us three re hearsals a day, with a fi".e selection of choruses. TLie interest exhibited, and the talent (which, by the way, was of a high order,)connected with the Con vention made progress rapid, and the last rehearsal on Saturday morning gave promise of a fine entertainment. Solos by Mrs. Ashmun, Miss Geer, of Tabor, and Mr Edward Ashmun, (a student at the college in Tabor,) of Weeping Water, were finely rendered. The Nightingale Song, by Miss Geer, and a solo by Mrs Flora Ashmun were particularly fine and rendered with ex cellent taste. Prof. Geer and lady entertained the audience with a violin . and piano duett, very finely executed and warmly commended by the audience, notwith standing they had been requested not to applaud in the church, at a previous meeting of the Musical Association. Mrs. Geer favored U3 with Home Sweet Home, with varia tions, solo for piano, rendering the mu sic with an elegance and beauty of touch that captivated the audience. Miss Tipple, of Tabor, rendered a solo on the piano in a vry pleasant manner. Several duetts and quartettes were given by members, one of the lat ter a female quartette by Mis3es Tipple, Ashmond, Polleck and Mrs Woods, was novel and Gnely rendered. Last but not least, we must speak of the Professor's solo, The Old Sexton, rendered with a puritj of intonation and power that secured the admiration of the audience. After the programme was filled, the Professor, by particular request repeat ed his solo, and also, after repeated calls, performed a violin solo, accom panied by Mrs. Geer on th.9 piano. The attendance was not as large as could have been wished, coming direct ly after the Methodist supper, but there was a fair and very appreciative audience who can tell their less fortu nate friends what they lost by not at tending. The good people of Weepiag Water have our warmest thanks for their kind hospitality and attention to our comfort, which wa hope to have op portunity to return at some not far distant day. The Herald will publish next week the proceedings of the convention as tending toward the formation of a County Musical Association to hold conventions in different portions of the county alternately. A central committee wa3 appointed, one member frosi-eacji locality, for the purpose of conferring with the musicians in their localities to that end. It is to be hoped such measures may be adopted as will give us all the benefit of this musical instruction. In simple justice to Prof. Geer we must say he is eminently qualified for the position of director of such con ventions, and that his peculiarly pleas ant and agreeable manner make3 him a success. We were presented by a friend with a complimentary ticket to the enter tainment given by the ladies of the Methodist society for the benefit of their church. Friday evening, after the adjournment of the convention we were transferred, in company with our friends, to the church, and found it filled to its utmost capacity with the citizens from far aud near. A table loaded with good things occupied the center of the church tha full length. and another extended across the north end. The seats were all occupied. The waiters and others were dressed ia fancy costumes representing Wash ington, Wm. Penn, Pocahontas and many other illustrious characters. Mr. Potter's string band, consisting of three violins, flute, piccolo, cornet and double bass viol, and dressed in costume, discoursed elegant music from the gallery, accompanied by Miss Thorngate on ths organ. We pro nounce the festival a success, financial ly and otherwise, the receipts amount ing to upwards or 530, clear of all expenses. G LEND ALE LETTER. Glendale, Dec. 26, 1876. Christmas was a gala day at Glen- dale all day the School House pre sented a busy appearance, as a beauti ful Christmas Tree was being fitted up. At 6 o'clock, everything was in order, and the crowd began to assemble. Ere an hour had elapsed, the house was filled to its utmost, and the Trea gave unmistakeable evidence that Glendale could do the handsome thing when she felt so .disposed. Elegant and costly presents, as well as some of more util ity than style graced the Tree from top to bottom: The exercises of the even ing were formally opened by a song from the choir, entitled "Christmas Eve." It may not be out of place to mantion that the music was very fine. The choir was composed of Messrs. Ward, Sayles, Cooley, Livingston and others. Miss Mamie Cooley and Miss Hasemeire in turn presided at the or gan after other music, prayer was offered by our worthy Superintendent Benjamin Ward, Esq., Jafter which J. II. Polls, in his usual style, deliver ed the opening address then followed the distribution of presents, and our real merriment began. We learn that more than 250 presents of real worth were distributed, and everybody went home telling that it was good to have been there. C. S. If exercise promotes health, those who collect old newspaper subscription should be the healthiest people on earth. THE FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT. A visit to our neighbor town of Weepj ing water satisfied us that her business men are alive, A little sketch of their business may b9 interesting to our readers, as showing what energy may do when properly applied. Mr. Thorn gate ha3 bought the stock of furniture formerly owned by J. Chase, Justice of Peace, and is fitting up new stock, with which to supply the good peo pie of that vicinity. Next on the west is the well known store of Messrs. Reed Bros., the Pioneer Merchants, who keep an im mense stock of general merchandise of every description, clothing.dry good3 hard and soft ware, and in fact every thing the farmer wants. Opposite is the wide awake firm of Fleming & Race, who also keep an immense stock of general merchandise, and who have a trade in proportion to their stock. Mr. Potter represents the Jewelry trade and furnishes orchestral music with his finely trained string band, which we had the pleasure of listening to on Friday evening. Opposite the Jewel ry is the drug store of Mr. Barnes, who has a neat 'and well supplied stock of drugs, medicines, perfumery, combs, brushes, cigars, tobacco, nuts, confec tionaries, and in fact a full supply of everything usually connected with an apothecary's shop. Two millinery stores have out signs and furnish their patrons goods in the latest styles, hick of their with time and natuial timidity prevented our call ing at these ladies emporiums. A first class shoe store and shop, kept by Mr. Jn.o. Marshall, who furnishes under standing to order. A blacksmith and harness shop, and a good hotel complete the furnishing houses. Dr. Butler, the genial Eclectic Physician, attends to the comfort and health of the citizens, which secures them, we hope, from the ravages of disease. . Near the town are located the flour ing mills of Clinton & Johnson, and Hubbard & Tewksbury, who supply the principal ingredient needed in making the staff f life, not only to the citizens of that locality, but also send large amounts to Plattsmouth and other places. The really fine school house is occupied for 10 months in the year, and the two large churches are well filled by intelligent congregations. One branch of business they lack that most of our western towns are abundantly supplied with, and they deerve great credit for it, saleons are unknown in the town or vicinity. THE SYRACUSE TRAGEDY. Further Particulars Concerning it- UoTcriog between Life and Death. The fearful tragedy that took place yesterday afternoon at Syracuse, in the attempt of Mrs. Stambro to commit suicide, has been the topic of conver sation to-day. We learn the following particulars: It appears late yesterday morning that Mrs. Stanbro had some altercation with her husband, and on his stepping out into an adjoining room where his uncle was, he heard the report of a pisj tol, and on returning 0 the room, found his wife lying 011 the floor witli a pistol shot in her breast. Dr. .Larsh returned from Syracuse this evening and reports her condition as very doubtful. The ball entered above the left breast and then took an upward course and turned to the left, lodging in the back just below the left shoulder blade. The Dr. thinks the wound not fatal in itself, but Mrs. Stanbro being enciente at the time, the nervous shock has produced premature birth, which the Dr. thinks will prove fatal to her. This is not the first time Mrs. Stan bro has tried to take her life. Some weeks ago she tried to purchase some strychnine at the drug store, but was refused. There is a report that she has repeatedly said that she never wish ed to be a mother again, and from this many lay her rash act to the door of her condition, while others ascribe it to the treatment she received from the one on whom she had cast her lot for future happiness. News. Col. Blanton Duncan says of the Presidential question: "I do not think Governor Hayes need apprehend any trouble. The South will do nothing in cooperation with the disappointed politicians who so loudly declare for war and anarchy. War requires or ganization, money and arms. The Northern States are solid in having Republican legislatures except that one house in New Jersey is Democrat ic, and the Senate in Indiana is a tie. The only result of the vaporings may be assemblages of Democratic militia witli cornstalks, to wage war in their respective localities by niMns of wordy and fierce resolution. Of on thing I consider there can be no doubt; the people have observed Hayes' conduct and that of Mr. Tilden. and if the election should come off to-morrow Hayes would carry every Northern State and five of the Southern." That's pretty strong Hayes talk to come from an old Bourbon Democrat. Inter Ocean. As exchange says as far a3 heard from, the following is a list of candi dates forU. S. Senator: Hon. L. Crounse of Ft. Calhoun; Hon. P. W. Hitchcock, Judge Clinton Brigs, Judge G. B. Lake, Hon. Alvin Saunders, Gen. Manderson, and John C. Co win of Omaha: Hon. Therom Nyer of Fremont; and Gen. Van Wyck, of Otoe county with sev eral counties to hear from. The grasshopper blossoms so sweetly on the edge of the Minnesota snow drift. He has already got so that he can sit up on his elbows and lay half a pint of eggs in one forenoon. And while he lays he looks solemn and thoughtful, as if he wasn't doing any thing. Ex. THE MARKETS.

We have never seen a case of Spavin, Sweeny, Ring-bone, Wind-gall. Scratches or Poll-Evil, which this Liniment would not cure. It will cure when anything can. It is folly to spend $20. for a Farrier, when one dollar s worth of Centaur Liniment will do better. The follow ing is a sample of the testimouy produced : Jkffkrsox, Mo., Nov. U, 1873.
