that we will have hotter times by and

be cooler. It is no use to try to keep

TriE proper place for every honest

had maintained and defended it against
the attacks of rebels, rebudiationists
and democrats. Under the wise and
fostering policy of the republican par
ty, the greenback has appreciated . to
within a fraction of parity with gold,
and it is the intention of the party to
make it fullv euual to gold and keep it
there. The democratic party have al
ways fought greenbacks, and would
degrade them now if they had the
power. Indianapolis Journal.
The Kearney I'ress pokes fun at us
because we quoted democratic author
ity for the statement that 130 persons
were killed by a late storm at l'latts
mouth. That the statement was not
true is not our fault. We cannot help
believing that a democrat can tell the
truth, and this fact, or feeling, led us
to quote from such authority. In ad
dition we are quite confident that theie
are at least l.r0 fellows in that part
of the Slate, "mostly" candidates for
State oillces, who ought to be killed,
and, as the ways of Providence are
mysterious, we supposed the angel of
mercy had been sent in the shape of a
thunder storm, to savet hem from ruin
and defeat this fall. Hereafter we shall

South Bend, Aug. 7, '73.
Dear Herald: James Kornine, the
proprietor of the fish pond, met with a
severe accident yesterday morning.
He was walking around his place and
tread on a rock which turning, threw
him to the ground breaking his leg
above the ankle. Drs. Kirk & Cassell
are tending him and he is doing as well
as eould be expected. Yours,

South Bend, the fourth station on
the B. Sc M. Hail road, twenty-three
miles from here, is a lively thriving
village, and receives the grain, stock
and trade of a rich section of country
south of it. When the Herald visit
ed it last Monday, both stores seemed
full of business and the grain was roll
ing in lively.
their ursixEss.
There are two general stores in the
place; the oldest of which is kept by
C. II. Pinkham, well known in the
county, as a dealer and grain buyer.
Charles was in good spirits and had a
store full of customers; says he can
sell all the goods he wants to, but of
course money is scarce.
11. j. streight,
Is the proprietor of the other gener
al store, and certainly has a full line
of goods, and on the day we were there
was unexceptionably busy. What with
buying corn, running a shelter, selling
some goods and looking after things
generally, Henry seemed to have his
hands full and has no reason to regret
that he left Plattsmouth, we should
judge. Besides these there is our
fried Homine, (whose fish ponds we
described elsewhere) who keeps one
drug store, and an old Plattsmouth
chap, Am. Lazenby, who keeps an
other. A large and commodious harness
shop kept by " Jack Barker," shows
that the farmers need not want for
horse gear. T. W. Fountain has a
well supplied lumber yard, and black
smith shop to boot. Ed. McGinnis is
the wood butcher of the burgh and
does all the building and carpentering
to satisfaction.
Doctor Cassell has lately settled at
South Bend, coming from Neb. City
Altogether wo have seen few places
lately that seemed to indicate moie
thrift and enterprise than this Cass
County burgh, and the Herald hopes
this imperfect notice will be accepted
until such time as more leisure will al
low us to examine its merits and busi
ness more at length.
CASS COUNTY TUOUT AN' I) SALMON.
Mr. Routine's Fishery, near South Bend.
Last Monday in company with Hon.
II. F. Dousman, late one of the Fish
Commissioners of Wisconsin, the
Herald visited the Trout springs of
Mr. Jas. G. Roinine near South Bend
in this county.
Telegraphing to Mr. II. J. Streight
early in the morning, on our arrival at
the station we found a pair of horses
and buggy ready for us, and Mr. Ho
mine himself ready to go along and
show us all the beauties, wonders,
(soft places in the road, &c,) to.be seen
iu and about the region. Uncle Jason
Streight gathered up the ribbons, and
hoisting our umbrellas we set out over
a winding way towards the Fish Tond.
Let us say right here that this is a
new industry in the state and Mr. Ho
mine. so far as we know, is the first
man to take hold of it. and we certain
ly wish for him a success and a bright
future, believing as we do, that our
streams can be and should bo stocked
with better and more abundant food
fishes than at present.
the place.
One and a half miles south of the vil
lage of South Bend we arrive at the
place. It is a cool little nook under
the brow of a bluff, trees overhanging
the spring giving it quite a romantic
appearance.
the spring
itself is a very fine one, the water be
ing very pure and clear. It flows
about three cubic inches of water.
There are four ponds, the upper one
about four feet deep and the lower
eight feet. The whole is secured by a
heavy stone dam at the lower pond, the
other partitions, as one may say, be
ing of plank.
wtiex commenced.
one year ago last spring Homine caught
the fish fevor so bad he had to go to
Wisconsin and get some spa wn and
fish. In March 1877 they were put in
the water here ; 15,000 young Trout and
12 or 1400 young California Salmon.
Last winter he hatched 80,000 Trout
eggs and 15,000 Salmon eggs, of these
lots he think he has now over 5,000
young Trout and 9,000 Salmon being a
very large percentage of fish from the
eggs in a new place.
The young fish now yearlings are
doing well and looking finely. Mr.
Dousman, who should be a good judge,
being himself one of the proprietors of
the Scuppernong Trout Ponds, Wis.,
sa)Ts they are doing excellently and
have made a very good growth.
the hatchery.
Connected with the spring is a
hatching house, of 100,000 capasity.
Mr. Homine expects to hatch 50.000
Trout and Salmon at least, thi3 winter.
This establishment is in embryo as
yet, but will become no doubt the
neuclens of an extensive business one
of these days, the proprietor i3 very
enthusiastic, and being an "old batch"
says he has nothing to divide his at
tention with the fishes, and they are
bound to prosper.
Keturning to Tlattsmouth we had
the pleasure of meeting Gov. Garber
with whom we enjoyed an interesting
conversation respecting what might be
done for Nebraska In the fish line, and
wo hope to see some steps taken this
winter towards encouraging this
branch of industry.
Mr. Dousman who is one of the best
practical fish-culturists in the United
States thinks the "Carp, a German
fish, whan introduced here will be one
of the best food fishes for our waters
as they thrive in sluggish and even
muddy waters and are an excellent
fish. Salmon if succesful at all east of
the mountains ought to do well here.
That is an experiment yet.
Breathes there a man with soul so
dead,
Who never to himself hath said,
This night before I go to bed
I'll go and pay the printer.
Yes there are some we know full well.
And when they die,
They'll go to well.

ConTiction of the Percy Train Robbers.
Hawliks, August G. The trial of
the Percy train robbers was finished
yesterday afternoon. Hill got five
years on the first indictment; Henry
got seven years on the first indictment,
and both plead guilty on the second
court, on which two years' additional
was added to the penalty of e;ich.
Thomas, the third one tried, plead
guilty and received rive years. Gib
son, the fourth, turned state's evidence
and got clear.
Keaney, the California Agitator bas
arrived in Boston. Here is part of ais
speach.
I mention these facts so impress the
the necessity of ignoring newspaper
reporters, and particularly reports sent
by the Associated Press a band of
pirates. Laughter and applauses.
Kearney then spoke of the working
men's movement in California, "That
drove the Democratic thief and the
Republican robber out of the State."
We were vigilant, energetic, and active.
Allowing no one to address our meet
ings but but honest, hard-fisted men.
Applause, and "that's good." We
elected to the constitutional conven
tion poor obscure artisans, over the
heads of Senators, and ex-governors,
millionaires, and bank smashers. Now.
I can say what I please in California,
despite the hell-houses that infest it,
I hope you will profit by my advice,
which is to pool all your issues; put
all your issues into one pot applause,
and on next November you will be
able to announce a victory for the hon
est workingtnen of Massachusetts,
All in favor of pooling the issues hold
up their hands. All hands were ra;s
ed. All opposed? No Sign. I hope
no one will state to-morrow that this
was not a unanimous meeting.
Kearney continued in this strain for
some time, advising the woikinginen
cut loose from all parties as alike un
reliable, and to take charge of their
own affairs.
He concluded: We have got power
to do with this government as we
please. We propose to take advantage
of that power and use it from this day
fourth. I know the woikinginen of
Massachusetts will succeed.
There is little doubt that city resi
dents would consume much more milk
than they do, if they could cet it pure
and cheap. Condensed milk does not
meet the want. For many uses it is
excellent, as for sea voyages or when
it has to be kept a long time; but for
daily consumstion it is never like fresh
milk, and for infants, or thoso who
use milk as .a beverage, it lacks entire
ly the aroma and fresh grassy flavor
which renders it palatable for any
length of time.
Our attention has recently been call
ed to a plan, or adopted, from the
French, by a Connecticut farmer,
which, is quite an innovation. He has
obtained bottles of clear glass, holding
about a quart, such as aieused for bot
tling "pop,' or lager beer, fitted with a
rubber cork, attached to the bottle and
held in its place by a wire. These,
when filled with milk, are closed by
drawing the wire-holder over the cork,
which hermetically seals the bottle;
after which a paper seal is placed on
the flange of the neck, overlapping the
wires, and effectually preventing the
removal of the cork without breaking
the seal. On the bottle is pasted a la
bel, giving an advertisement of the
farm, and certifying the purity of the
milk, and the date of the milking; al
so, an announcement tuat jiUKjrom
one cow"' is a speciality. This, to inva
lids and infants is a great boon, and
something which the wealthy residents
of cities require at any cost, for the
chemical qualities of the milk from a
young and fresh cow are an absolute
necessity to the life of some delicate
infants. Where such is needed, the
bottles are labeled "Cow No. 9," "Cow
No. 10," and so on, by which the buyer
can gei each day milk from the same
cow.
These bottles are shipped in racks
similar to egg cases, holding twenty
bottles each, and reach the consumers
at an early hour, with their contents
as fresh and sweet as when drawn
from the cows among the green hills
of Connecticut. Stock Journal.
