Hurrah for April showers that bring May flowers and kill the hoppers, mavbe! The Musical Concert and ball of Thursday evening last proved a rare treat and a great enjoyment to all who attended.

G-2 Many persons have an idea that a meeting of the State Sportsmen's Asso ciation is simply to have a good shoot ing match. This is not so, we under stand, but the object of the State Meet ing is to protect the game birds and all others of the State, in the most effect ive manner by preserving their num bers from w.mton destruction. The lo cal clubs give the shoot generally. Mr. Chilson from Centre, this Co. was in town on Monday lie reports plenty of grasshoppers in his vicinity also a good deal of sickness; one of his neighbors wive's whose child had died with measles, although sick with meas les insisted on going from her room to the funeral, took cold and went crazy, at last accounts she was getting worse. Frank Stadter has developed quite a new branch of business for this coun try, viz; wall painting and decorating. Ne has just painted the dining room at Stadelmaii'.s and it looks very hand some. When we build a better class of houses and money becomes plentier Frank ought to do well at this as this style of finish is healthier and vastly more durable than paper and daubs. It is with pleasure we refer to the establishment of our esteemed towns man It. Donelly Fsq., Blacksmith, Gth street opposite Strelght's Stable. A partial examination of his capacity for business convinces us he is thoroughly prepared for any kind of wagon and buggy manufacturing, repairing nil kinds of machinery, and his connection with Mr. Kinser whose shop is close lv also gives him the advantage of a Xo. 1 lathe which puts the finishing touch to Jus arrangements for a com pV.e Black and White Smithing estab lishment. 0.3. Joseph A. Connor has bought the Osborn Property for 81.500. an 1 will refit furnish and move into it this spring. Mr. Connor is a stirring ener getic man and is doing an enormous business in grain. We saw bills of 160 cars of corn shipped from Ashb n 1. It is reported he has made SI 0,0 'JO, on corn alone this spring and wo have no reason to doubt it. Farmers bring in your corn, wheat and bailey, Mr. Connor will buy it. The time is arrived when the Chica go man summons up all his manhood to cany the stove up to the garret, takes a second thought, goes down town resolved to yank it up the verv next day. Ex. We sent for the "devil," the foreman, ' Charlev Brown and another man and then left for Omaha, and let the women and the boys have it out. X. B. The stove's a wreck. A Talk With A Hinglishman. I ta'ked with a minion from her Majesty's tlomiuions: Says I, 'Where are you going? Says he, 'To hide a hoe. Says I, .What are you going to hide a hoe for?' Says he, I didn't; say hide a hoe, I said hide a hoe.' Says I, 'Spell it.' Says he, 'I-d-a-h-o.' Oh!' says I, 'Idaho.' 'Yes, sa-s he, 'Hide a hoe.' Ex. -Dr. B- of Plattsmouth, is well known all over the State as a celebrat ed doctor and a good shot very fond of hunting is the doctor. Sam C is equally as well known as a prominent lawyer and a famous shootist. Xow these two eminent sportsmen went out duck and goose hunting not long since. The doctor was in good trim and hit time after tune. Sam on the contrary was out of luck, bad, and misse.l several times, at which the doctor chuckled, at last the lawyer missed a good chance, and the doctor chuckled, "Why, Sam, you caa't kill anything to-day. -Humph.'' retorted Sim, l can't kill like you, I don't load witli prescrip tions."

Our friend Chauncy Wiltse and his amiable wife have not only kept the Grand Island Eiting House up to its former high standard, but have won a reputation for the houso that com mends it more than ever to the public favor. Fremont Tribune. We are happy to see Miss Billie Simpson back here again, and to learn that she will remain a portion of the summer. It- W. Vanatta called and ordered the Herald sent to him out at Ashland. Says he can't get along without it. He reports business good at Asldand. Call again Iloss, we're always glad to see you. Mr. Leonard has sent home some splendid views of mining scenes from in and around Dead wood. John Barnes our Black Hills Moun tain friend has returned from Dead wood and has got the Dead wood on us. There's a fellow out at Louisville who writes constantly to the Xeb. City Xeiri and tells what mean people we are here in Cass county. " e thought it was Ramsay, and believe yet it is he, but thechap rather denies this in his last. If B. S. Ramsay dare come out and say these articles are not his productions and have the fellow sign his name to them, who does write them, or sign them himself if he is the man, the Herald will do some "narrow headed" and "egotistical'' talking to this chap, that he may be won't think comes from quite so narrow a head as his own. Meanwhile, we only say there are three (3) papers in this county, and a man that has ain thing to say to the people of this county, that is pertinent or of value to them, or that they ought to hear, must have a very poor stand ing at home if he has to rush off to Xeb. City to get it published anonymously. We think of writing to the Pioneer, (Knox Co..) to tell them our opinion of Ramsay and the fellow, whoever he may be, that he gets to write for him. We think it would be such a good way to let the people of Cass county know about these things, or perhaps.the Neb. City Pn:;s can suggest some chap in Otoe who has a lot of dirty linen to wash, that lie can't get done at any Lit erary Laundry in Otoe County, and we would run a little extra here for him in Cass county. We do think the Chronicle ought to give Ramsay a chance. It's economy - to him would save him postage. Ohl Ann Eliza. Salt Lakev April 27 The decision in the famous Ann Eli za case against Rrigharn Young was decided to-day by Judge Schaffer. The decision is that the def;;ilmt and plaintiff were married April IS, 1333, de facto, bat not de jure ; that at the time of ths d? facto in irriag3 the plaintiff was competent to enter into a valid contract of m .image' but the defendant, was not because he had a lawful wife then living. The person, Sidney Rigdon, who performed the marriage cerem my, between the defen dant and Mary Ann Angell in Kirk land, Ohio, in 13:31 had no license au thorizing him to-perform such ceremo ny ; none was needed to make the cere mony valid ; the plaintiff and defen dant cohabited together as man and wife for several years after thair de facto marriage; the defendant deserted ill treated ami neglected the plaintiff, but such de facto marriaga was induc ed and effected by unlue indamca and coercion. Conclusion the plaintiff is not entitled to a decree of divorce; that the alleged marriage was and is polygamous, and therefore null and void; that during the tims the plaint iff was with the defendant as a poly gamus wife, site was serving him as a menial or servant, and would b3 enti tled to reasonable compensation for her services; bat having received in this instance "the form of alimony pen-Iente lite" more than such servi ces are shown by the proof to be rea sonably worth, she should go hence without further compensation. State Items. A number of our exchanges declare war in Europe thi3 week. The North Platte NelrasJtian has broken out with the spotted cattle fe ver. It would appear from our exchang es that one, Colby, probably a member of the Legislature, must have introduc ed a bill for a township organization, last winter. TO ALB, PARTICULARLY INVALIDS, spring is a try ing reason. Indications of sick ness should be at once attended to. Fatal dis eases may be caused by allowing the bowels to become constipated and the system to remain in a disordered condition, until the disorder has time to develop itself. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, is an old and truthful saying. Therefore we advise all who are troub led with the complaint no'.v very prevalent headache indigestion, disordered liver, went of appetite, nausea, or feverie h skin, to take, with out delay Sfhenck's Mandrake pi'.ls. We know of no remedy so harmless and decisive in it inltsactien. It at once strikes to the root of the disease and produces a healthy tone to the systemn. Feople never need suffer from any disease arising from a disordered condition of the liver if they would take this excellent med icine when they feel the first indications of tne malady. Families W-uving home for the sum mer mouths should take three or four boxes of these pills along with them. They have au al most instaneous eflVct. They will lelieve the palient of headache in one or two hours, and will rapidly cleanse the liver of surrounding bile, and will effectually prevent a bilious attack. They are.sol.i by all druggists.
