Ancllier txctirsioQ Note.
A daily paper will be issued on board
the excursion train. The Association
will meet in Omaha on Wednesday
evening, the 22d inst., and the follow
ing morning start west over the U. P.
11. 11. There will be more fun to the
mile on this excursion than any ever
yet had. Those intending to go should
write before the 1.1th, to the Secre ary
at Plattsmouth. Adams Co. Gazette.
One of the lady clerks in the Inter
ior Department has perpetrated a pret
ty good pun on the name of the Secre
tary. Iieing told that she must pro
nounceSehurz like "Shirts," she replied,
"If he is 'Shirts,' we clerks are under
shirts." Ex.
Whcra's lien Ilempel. He ought to
be looking after his friend Carl Sq
well, it wouldn't sound nice with the
"under" to it.
Amusements.
Prof. Hoffman's Orchestra of Omaha,
said to be the finest sextet in the coun
try, assisted by Mrs. I). W. Griffey, the
favorite .Soprano of Council llluffs, and
Mrs. Edward, who made such a decided
hit at Omaha as the ltobber queen in
the opera of the Contrabandista, will
favor the music loving citizens of
Plattsmouth with the very best concert
that the leading talent of Omaha can
arrange. The Omiha and Council
Bluff.? papers are always loud in praise
of these ladies and gentlemen whenev
er they appear before the public in
these cities. Let all our people who
enjoy really fine music turn out and
give them a rousing benefit, on next
Monday night, and do not let it be said
that Plattsmouth cannot patronize any
thing but a minstrel show. They come
here on invitation from leading citi
zens ami deserve a successful season.
We would again call attention to
the following state laic, re-enforced by
ordinance here, we think.
Sr:e. G. Any person who shall ma
terially injure, or who shall destroy
tiie shade tree or trees of another, or
permit his animals to injure or destroy
them, shall be liable to a fine of not
less than s? or more than 030 for each
ireo thus injured or destroyed, which
tine shall be collected on complaint of
any person or persons before any court
of proper jurisdiction. One-half of all
lines thus collected shall be. paid to the
owner of the trees injured or destroy
ed; the other half shall b paid into
the school fund.
It is no use to trv and fix up the
streets, plant trees or make nice places
as long a3 cattle, horses? and hogs are
allowed to run loose all over town.

"Pivdle, Mortar, Pomul Ye."
Such a crazy lot of fellows as gath
ered down at Buttery's store yesterday
we havn't seen since '39 when some
one claimed to have discovered Color
on Omaha creek. Merchants, clerk,
lawyers, doctors and preachers threw
off their coats, and dug the banks of
the creek up as the sweat poured down
their strained faces and the blisters
grew on their tender footed palms.
Gen. Cunningham brought home sev
eral specimans of ore from Capt. Ben
nett's mine in which some of our
townsmen are inteiested) aud Barnes,
W. Bennett, Dr. Geo. Black, stockhold
ers, we believe, pounded it up in a
Mortar. From one specimen about as
large as hen's egg they got eight dis
tinct specks of gold aud such a hurrah
you never saw. All the town rushed
down there. Never was "Josephine"
so sought after. Shares rose as the
golden specks went down in the corner
of the pun n nd fortunes gleamed in
the glim future like will o' the wisps
on the bogs of Kilkenny.
Then John Shannon, an old miner
worked out another chunk from anoth
er mine, that didn't turn out so well,
but it gave just as much fun and ex
citement, and the Herald left them
on their knees around a dirty pan with
little glasses (magnifying) jammed in
to their eyes, .;3 eager as boys playing
marbles for keeps. While they were
getting the color from the second pan
some one came in and drank up the
first "wash" by mistake, it having been
poured into the glass used to drink
from for safe keeping. It's safe now
and a returning board are hunting for
the chap that helped swallowed Jose
phine. Oh my, how old days come
over us. We've got :he faver, bad!
Dropping into the behind side of
the Post Olliee, as our English friend
might say, the other day, we found
Frank Stadter with a group of eager
listeners in one corner, and McDonagh
whispering in dulcet tones that pierc
ed the marrow bones to another group
in the other.
Frank was trying to convince his
"aujenee" that when the Russians got
extra Hungary they thought nothing
of sticking a long handled fork into
a long legged Pole and bedding him
slautvvise over the fire till he was roast
ed done as a Turkey on Thanksgiving,
while McDonagh declared that the
English used to make "scolloped Irish"
in this wise. The- British soldiers
would wander out among the cabins
picking up a fat little Irish baby and
a fat little pig, about the same siz, al
ternately; when they had got ten or a
dozen of each, they dug a trench, filled
it with hot stones, placed the pigs and
babies in layers therein, smothered
them with turf and roasted them with
i peat fire.
Listening to all this gammon was a
tall, strange looking chap, with a
wealth cf dark whiskers completely
covering Ids face. He looked so wild.
(probably horror-stricken at these lies,
for he turned out pious.) and savage,
we made up our mind at once that he
was soma wild Buhjariitii who had
escaped from the toasting fork of cru
el Russia, and sought refuge in the
peaceful abode of our friend Stadter.
While wondering if lie could Eng
lish sprachen enough to comprehend
the atrocities of American yarning, un
cle Schlegel opened the door and slim?
in a mail bag. The gentle southeast
wind biew the huge dark whiskers
aside, and beneath their flowing waves
we saw the genial and kindly mouth
and smile of our old friend Judge Gass
of Gospel Hill.
Grasping his hand in true joy, we
apologized for our mistake, and con
gratulated him on his re-appearance to
his numerous friends in Plattsmouth,
ifter having dyed so gloriously last
week in the arms of his neighbor, the
Watchman.

well of the ebony regions, and will re

Onr Three Groves Letter.
Three Groves, May 1 1th, 1S77.
Mr. Editor: Rain! Rain! Hoppers!
Hoppers! seem to h the general topics
of conversation among the farming
community just at present. It seems
as if it were going to rain for forty
days and nights in succession before it
is going to give us a rest, but we hope
for better times in the fu'ure. Hop
pers are hatching out in places very
thick but not doing very much damage
as yet. We think if Mr. Bryan will
come down to Three. Groves and vicin
ity we can show him more than one
hopper to every four inches square of
surface, as he stated in last week's
Herald, and by looking around a lit
tle we can show him two or three hop
pers to every blade of grass when they
all hatch out; of course they will not
be so thick all over, but will be thick
er than .Mr. Bryan anticipated. The
weather has been so cold and wet that
they hatch out very slowly, and there
has only a limited number come out so
far compared to what there will be
when the hatching season is over.
Some of the farmers are ditching and
burning and others plowing them un
der ; a few say that it is of no use to
fight them anyway, so you see they are
at liberty on one side and at war on
the other; but still plowing and plant
ing go on just as if there ws not a
'hopper nearer than the Pacific Ocean.
Small grain is looking well and grow
ing finely, what little is sown. There
has been a great deal of corn planted,
put the recent cold wind and rain
storms have undoubtedly rotted the
most of it, and It will have to be plant
ed the second time.
The late freezes injured the fruit
some, but not to a very great extent.
The most of the wild plum? are killed
in the lowlands but old nursery men
think there will be an abundance of
apples and other small fruits of very
iikar all kinds.
Fellow farmers, write for the Her
ald and give us all the best methods
of destroying the grasshoppers, and
what thej' are doing for you. Sic, ami
we will assure you Mr, MacMurphy
will publish all your communications
if thpy are not too lengthy and are to
the point, and will do all he can fr us.
Mr. Y. we would like to know who
that fellow is who fell through the
Bridge at Three Groves.
Yours respectfully,
Farmer.

In the whole history of medicine, no
preparation has ever performed such
marvellous cures, or maintained so
wide a reputation, as Ayer's Cherry
Pectoral, which is recognized as the
world's remedy for all diseases of the
throat and lungs. Its long-continued
series of wonderful cures in all cli
mates has made It universally known
as a sate and reliable agent to employ.
Against ordinary colds, which are the
forerunners of more serious disorders,
it acts speedily and surely, always re
lieving suffering, "and often saving
life. The protection it affords, by its
timel use in the throat and lung dis
orders of children, makes it an invalu
able remedy to be kept always on hand
in every home. No person can afford
to le without it, and those who have
once used it never will. From their
knowledge of its composition mid
effects, Physicians use the Cherry Pec
toral extensively in iheir practice, and
Clergymen recommend it" It is abso
lutely certain in its remedial effects,
and will always cure when cuies are
possible. For sale by all Dealers.
Messrs. Streight & Miller wish to

their bills it follows that they must
have funds to pay with. They would
therefore notify their customers who
have been accommodated to harness
