M on to-morrow evening, (Fridav, June 1st.) A full attendance is desired, as there is business of importance to be transacted. By order of W. M. Jxo. A. MAcMunrnY, Sec. Grasshopper Meeting. Owing to the unfavorable weather, the meeting appointed at Eight Mile Grove, on Saturday the 19th, for the trial of grasshopper machines was post poned until three weeks from that time, or the 9th of June, at the Snyder School House, when a more complete trial will be made, at which time and place all wishing to compete are invited to be present. We received a call from Mr. Joseph Howard, of Dorchester, who has re moved his wife, who has consumption, to Eight Mile Grove, to her fathers, to avail themselves of the Professional services of Dr. Schildknecht, some where on the trip they narrowly esca ped a serious accident, the colt that they were riding after frightened as they were getting out of the wagon and throwing them all out, it is probable no serious effects will follow the accident. Tuesday evening, as a buggy with two horses were driven across the bridge on 6th street, between Maine and Vine, one of the horses ran his fore foot through a hole, throwing him down instantly. With the assistance f a number of men he was held quiet until the planks were pried up and the foot extracted without breaking the leg, but the horse, which belongs to Mr. Jones, was seriously lamed. It will be well for our City -authorities to look after the several bridges around the city, or there may serious accidents occur. Messrs. Streight & Miller wish to call the attention of their customers to the fact that it is customary toclo.se up accounts at the commencement of the year. As they are expected to pay their bills it follows that they must have funds to pay with. They would therefore notify their customers who have been accommodated to harness and other goods, that they will be ex pected to call and settle their acccounts at their earliest convenience. Their stock of harness and other goods in that line is complete, and all wanting anything in their line will find it to their advantage to give them a call. A full stock of groceries also kept con stantly on hand. 45tf To the Editor. I desire through yeu, to present to the many kind friends in Plattsmouth. who, regardless of denominational lines, so generously assisted in render ing our late festival a success, my most sincere thanks and gratitude. May the kind dispenser of every good and perfect gift, bestow plentifully up on each his manifold graces and bless ings, and preserve them in his holy Keeping unto a oiissiul ena. Uur re ceipts are in the neighborhood of $300 Very Respectfully, Fattier Hates. The Fair and Festival by the la dies of the Catholic Church, last week, was a splendid affair, and the receipts amounted to some S300 dollars. Among the enjoyable features of the occasion was the voting off of a fine cake, pre sented by Mrs. Cushing, and contested for by Miss Mary Mahoney and Miss Hannah Burke, which was awarded to Miss Mahoney. The High School Literary Sciety held its weekly meeting on Friday evening and gave a rousing entertain ment. Prof. Drummond had his speak era out in run force, from live years old and upwards. The Professor had offered a copy of Burns Poetical works to the pupil giving the best recitation. The judges, Dr. R. R. Livingston, Trof. U. W. Wise. Mrs. Wise, and Mrs. J. W. Marshall, and Rev. Mr. Baird. retired for consultation at the close, and call ed in Hon. Geo. S. Smith to assist them in making their decision. After a careful consideration of the relative ability displayed by the pupils they decided that Miss Lilly Pollock should have the prize, which was given her in a very neat presentation speech, by non. Geo. S. Smith, who was in one of his happy moods. Several other pupils showed marked ability, and it was with great difficulty to use the expression of Dr. Livingston that the judges could decide. Profes sor Drummond was in his element We think he has struck the right cord in introducing tbe Literary Society meetings, and judge others are with us from the large and enthusiastio attend ance, the house was filled to its utmost capacity. The exercises were enliven ed by several pieces of music. A 11. A. j. aiiogeiuer me exercises were very Interesting, and every one should try and attend, Organ Exhibit Km. The "Liszt"organ, recently perfected by the Mason & Hamlin Organ Com pany, was exhibited yesterday after noon at the new and elegent ware rooms of the company, Nos. 230 and 252 Wabash Avenue. Mr. W. L. Tom lins presided at the instrument, which proved to be one of rare sweetness and uncommon volume of tone. Admira tion for it3 astonishing power and beautiful quality va3 freely expressed by several members of the Presbyter ian General Assembly and other good judges who were present. A second exhibition will be given Friday after noon from 4 to 5 o'clock. Inter Ocean. For further information call on James Pettee agent, Plattsmouth Neb. Quills from the "Quill-Driver."

Parties having griever.ces to settle concerning anything which may ap pear in this paper, will go to the devil, as the fighting editor got left at Omaha. The Office of the Daily Quill Driver is located in the rear car. Every man of the party fiie3 about with a pencil behind each ear, willing to write a Greeley editorial or a Mark Twain joke, but we notice they don't rush out to set type as they rush in to dinner. At 12:50, amid the booming of can non and the waving of cardinal red bandanna handkerchiefs from lily white hands, we pulled out of Omaha behind engine No. 74 Colonel Chase stood on the Platform bowing his re gards as did his prototype, Eschol Sel lers, at the steamboat landing; the back men cheered at the departure of a crowd who never miss a ride or pay a cent; the depot restauraunter, who had invested several hundred dollars in meals to be taken out on demand in advertising smole a smile and wunk a wink as he saw hi3 choicest viands climbing on Pullmans sleepers; the whistles at the different soap factories blew, the bel!3 in the church" steeples tolled, alul here we go up the grade like all possessed. Geo. W. Duncan, a dapper young man who impresses us very favorably, is conductor, and does a good job of it. II. W. Duncan han dles the throttle, and E. S. Smith wears thousand dollar diamonds and t wists the brakes. General Cunningham has just call ed on the editor to proffer his services in getting out the paper, and has beeu sent down the backstairs after a buck et of beer for the compositors. He and his brother, Alex Schlagel, Jeems M. Watson and G. Schnasse (Lord, what a name) are going to the B. Hills to investigate the bowels of the earth after gold. MacMurphy says he intends to have some fine tripe fishing in lake Tahoe. God bless us all what a crowd of ladies we have on bourdl The dis play of new spring style hats in tbe Pullman is positively delightful. We're going out presently to get intro duced, and wonder what to do with our hands. Senator Saunders is on the train. A rumor has just passed this way to the effect that he has hi3 pockets full of posioflices. Every man on the train has given the Senator to understand that he was largely instrumental in his elevation. The tenth anniversary of the mar riage of our worthy president and wife. Mr. and Mrs. J.C. McBride, occurs next Sunday, and will be appropriately cele brated in Salt Lake. That f ellow who got aboard at North Platte, only to be put off at Bell-Rope station, discovered that the conductor made a marked distinction between the dead-heads and dead beats, though oth ers are unable to observe the differ ence. Mr. W. B. Wilkins who has charge of the Pullman cars on our train, we find a very courteous and pleasant genj tleman, ever ready to give information or assistance to hi3 guests. .When we left Omaha we were told we had two day coaches and one sleep er. Yesterday evening we had two night coaches and one talking car. jjick btecie stole aboard a tew mo ments at Central City, to kiss Persing- er good-bye and bid him beware of the Mormons, and not to take too much Sulphur water. It is rumored that Brigham Young has ordered all the saloons closed, and put on an extra force of policemen, in anticipation of our visit. Nebraska Wells never dry up; we have one aboard. There are 152 passengers on this train 70 of whom belong to the pencil-driV' ers brigade, w Mrs. Mobley and Mrs. MacMurphy will set type on a wager to-morrow, at 2 o'clock. If any man intimates that this is not ft temperance party, shoot him on the spot What spot ? His red nose. -cantors or country papers are cau tioHed against clipping. from this paper without the proper credit. It is in stant death. Reports come to us from farmers in all parts of the county that the hop pers are not likely to injure the small grain but slightly, but the corn pros pects are not so favorable. The reason being evident that but a small amount of food is contained upon a given sur face. of corn ground, and it takes but few hoppers to make a clean sweep of it. We learn that a young man named Frank Gregory, had a finger smashed and taken off, on Tuesday evening coupling cars in the B. & M. yard This young man was filling the place made vacant by the death of Charley Brooks a few weeks since. R. R braAemen cainot be too careful Important Decision, We find in the Omaha Bee the fol lowing important decision in regard to the Liquor liceiib'e question w hich in terests almost every town and city in Nebraska. A decision, important to liquor i dealers in cities of the second class was recently rendered by the Supreme Court of Nebraska. It was in re Scltmitker, in which the opinion of Chief Justice Lake was that a party who takes out a license to sell liquor in a city of the second class, uuder the authority of the general statutes, can not be required to take out a second li cense, under an ordinance of the city, in order to legally conduct his busi ness during the time and at the place mentioned in the first license. The fact is that nearly all the small towns of the State have a very strong anti liquor feeling, and have been putting up the liquor license to a high figure. This decision will, therefore, prove im portant to a large number of liquor dealers in Nebraska." Personal. Mr. C. R. Dakin, of Burt count7, and fiither-in-law of the Herald, came down and spent Wednesday niuht with his children in Plattsmouth. Mr. D. reports an unusual amount of rain in their section, but not many hopper. We received a call from Mr. G. W.

An ounfe of prevention is worth a pound t.l cure, is :r.i -iM and truthful saying. Therefore we advise all who are troub led with the complaints now very prevalent headache Indigestion, disordered liver, want of appetite, nausea, or feverish skin, to take, with out delay Schenck's Mandrake pills. We know of no remedy so harmless aud decisive in its in Us actien. It at once strikes to the root of the disease and produees a healthy tone to the systenin. People 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 inrtieationi of tne malady. Families leaving home for the sum mer months should take three or four boxes of these pills along with them. Thev have an al most int;iiieous effect. They will lelieve the patient of headache in one or two hours, and will rapidly cleanse the liver of siirroiimiing bile, aud will effectually prevent a bilious attack. They are,solu by ail druggists.
