It is reported that Dr. Hump ran away with some- one else's frow. The old woman at the "foot of the lot" was warned to leave last Tuesday. Our old friend Doty helped us over the river not long since most manful ly. The Kev. Mr. Steinhart preached In the M. E. Church during Mr. Black burn's absenee. Read tho proposition Trof. Brown makes in another column in regard to refunding money. Elam Parmale went and sold our Ureters" before we could splurge at the Fair with -em. Brown the Mind Reader, is no hum bug but does just what he advertises to do, or money refunded. We learn by the Lincoln Journal that Mrs. Cattle, assisted by Miss Mag gie Dawson, will start a Kindergarten at Lincoln some time next month. Mr. "William Snyder brought in a dozen of apples that forsize.'smooth ness of appearance and flavor are un excelled this year. Contrary to the general results, Nebraska apples are not as smooth as usual this year but these are just beauties. Two or three young ladies got up a very pleasant lawn party last Thurs day evening on the hill west of Mr. (leo. Smith's, and hail music and danc ing, ice-cieam, cake and fun generally in abundance. Those moonlight lawn paities are adeligheful way of passing these warm evenings. Mr. Levi Churchill brings us in sme Transcendent crabs on a branch which beat thoso of which we were bragging last week, there being nine teen on a branch seven Inches long, the largest of which measures six inch es in circumference. He also brings us some splendid Lowell apples that surpass most anything we have seen this year, and for which we return thanks. Mr. Schlimlz informs us that he has his mill in running urdtr again, und that he lias a j-hne dam now, which he thinks is going to be a per manent one. We are glad to hear lU.v) Mr. Schlunt.'s energy and entcr j.ri.ie h.ivo surmounted his losses, and wish hi in letter luck in the future, arid a long life to the stone dam. We stated last week, among notic es of changes going on in our midst, that Mr. "White would remove his store to Fitzgerald block and his old building would be sold. Mr. White having changed his plans, we now an nounce that he has moved temporarily to Stadelmann's old stand while his own is undergoing repairs, when he will take up his quarters there again. Last Friday an ugly customer got full of benzine down town and becom ing uproarous, policeman Harvey Sage, undertook to arrest him. Just as he was about to cross the bridge to the jail the fellow bucked, and of all the kicking striking, cussing and bit ing for a little while, that took the lead. When finally placed in the cool er he had not the sign of a shirt left on his back. We received last week by the hands of Mr. McDonagh, a very hand some boquet of flowers raised by Mrs. McDonagh, mostly from seeds sent by Vick. It may not be known to the general public that Jas. Vick, the gen erous florist and seedsman of Roches ter, X. Y., remembers all poor editors throughout the U. S., with a box of seeds, once a year, flower or vegetable, or both, as they may choose, and Mrs. McD. knowing us to be a sharer in those bounties, sends us a boquet to show her success in changing the little brown seeds into objects of beauty and joy. The showing is a most excellent ene, and proves the good results of constant care and attention. We re turn thanks. The Circus. If you want to really know just about how many people there are in and about Pldttsnrouth. just start a first class Circus. Yesterday the town was f ullof people, of course they are excusable, we know how it is ourself. Now we would never go to the circus in the world, if it wasn't for our chil dren, they want to see the animals and we must go, you know, we wouldn't deprive the poor children of this pleas ure for the world.

If so, Should lie he Allowed to Carry off Our Money! Mr J. Randall Brown is not a spirit ualist, nor does he have anything to do with spiritualism. His power is pure ly a natural one and its manifestations are ten-fpld more wonderful than any thing that has ever been claimed by any spirit medium, and that he does what he advertises is undeniable. In proof of this assertion, the manage ment of J. Randall Brown makes the following special proposition, viz: All the money taken at the door, or for tickets on sale elsewhere, shall be held on deposit by J. W. Marshall until the audience are satisfied that the perfor mance is a genuine success. If the audience vote in the negative J. W. Marshall will refund the money to those buying tickets. J. W. Marshall has no interest what ever in the entertainment, but has for the sake of truth and justice consented to preside at the ticket box on the evening of the entertainment and see that the audience get their moiey back if not the equivalent. Any person who cries humbug after having read the above proposition, cannot be termed any thing else but a fit subject for an insane asylum. For full particulars of entertainment, see further announcenents. Notice. Owing to a press of work, Dr. Richey will be obliged to remain until the first of the week. Lost. A large brass office key.

Cass County Institute. The Teacher's Institute, which con vened at Weeping "Water. Neb., July 22d, in accordance with Supt. Martin- Gale's call, closed its labors on the 15th of this month. The work of the Institute, as stated in a previous article, was a review of the branches of study required for a second grade certificate. The Superintendent conducted the Institute as a Normal School, requir ing the teachers, (now pupils) not only to recite a lesson, but to show how they would teach it, after which he would explain what he thought to be the best method of teaching that sub ject. The only aid the Superintendent received was from Mr. Loufborrow, who had charge of the History class, and who gave a few lessons on Pen manship and Drawing; and Prof, Snodgrass, from Lincoln, who arrived on Friday of the third week, and was placed iu charge of the composition class during the rest of the Institute. His method of instruction on this sub ject is different from the old one, which was so distasteful to the com mon students and of little practical use to anyone. He precedes theory with practice, and in such a manner as to cause the pupil to write correct ly, although he may not be able to tell why he does so. During the institute, there werethir ty seven teachers enrolled, who closed the Institute with a Sociable in the evening, in the school building, when music, reading of essays, and declaim ing was in order. Previous to adjournment, the teach ers passed the following resolutions: ll-isola-l. That we will go to our labor with new vigor, showing that we have been greatly profited by at tending this Institute. Itesolced, That we thank Mr. Louf borrow for the instruction he gave, and the interest he took in securing homes for tho teachers, during their stay at the Institute. Jiesolced, That we appreciate the in struction given by Prof. Snodgrass, and as a token of rememberance we will carry some suggestions he gave us to our schools. JhS')Iced, That the Superintendent is our friend, and for his kindness, pa tience, and the efficient manner in which he conducted the Institute, he will gratefully be remembered by us. Jiesolced, That we are grateful to the citizens of Weeping Water, for their kindness to us during our stay among them, and that we wish their village a prosperous future. Mathiab Seahl, Secretary.
