The body found in the river on the 17th is now supposed to be that of Dan'l Monohan, from Malvern. He was last seen in Council Bluffs on the 8th, with two bad characters and was known to have had at that time about 81,700. The bedy was exhumed at the request of the Sheriff of Mills Co.

This time he winded Murfin, who came near giving up the case, and the ghost, too. ne thought the father of all lawyers had sent for him, and no "writ of prohibi tion" could prevail. But kind Nature had compassion and issued a manda mus; so onr friend Murfin lives to fight it out on the old line, if it takes all summer.

From Colorado. Denver, May 20th, 1880. Ed. Herald: It is now nearly three weeks since our arrival in Den ver and thinking that a few scattering notes from this locality would be ac ceptable to your many readers, and would be of interest L hastily pen you a few inkling lines. We left Platts mouth in the latter part of ult., for the west to Colorado and the Reeky Mountains. Had thought of giving a brief description of our trip through but circumstances and time will not permit at present and it prob ably would not be of general interest to the Herald readers, as some other items. Denver seems to be one of the larg est and most prosperous cities of Colo rado, from appearance. We were somewhat surprised at the growth of the city aud the business going on here. From the number of travelers and the far west seekers from the east and other points that arrive here daily, one would be impressed with the idea that Denver was the great metropolis city of the west. It is esti mated that the arrival of passengers on the railroads, that centre to this point numbers about three or four hundred a dav. and even more than that at times; however, the majority of them only make this a temporary stopping place for a short time and then proceed on their westward journ ey to Leadville and other mining points in the Rocky Mountains. Denver has at present its share of pickpockets, tramps, thieves and other specimens of humanity and it has been necessary for the police au thorities to increase their force and banish them from the city at times. Agricultural pursuits in Colorado seem to be only secondary; wheat is the principal cereal raised here al though garden vegetables of all kinds are raised in abundance, and probably can't be excelled by any other State in the Union. We an informed that verv little corn is raised on account of the cold nights and other drawbacks of the season. The Spring here has been cold, backward and very dry, not rain enough this seasen to start vege tation until the 6th inst., about three or four inches of snow fell and about the same amount on th 9th which caused sufficient moisture to start the grass and all vegetation. From the scarcity of snow in the mountains and the dry weather, the streams are very low and and water very scarce. Old ranchmen say that the streams are lower now than has been known for a number of years. The grand old mountains that lie west and south of Denver present some picturesque scenery to the travel er as he chances to pass through Colo rado ; Pike's Peak, that well know point that every school boy remembers so well, looks quite grand to the behold er ; on clear days with its snow covered top, one would not think it more than twenty miles away, however, they call it-eighty miles or more. Long's Peak, is observed by every one with interest, its tops looking upward above the sur rounding country and cam be seen for many miles around. Farm wages are from 625 to S30 per month and plenty of hands to fill all vacancies when any occurs. While in Denver we chanced to meet several old frlei.ds from Nebraska, among the number. Mr. Tom. Brown from Rock Bluffs; Mr. Henry Hagood from Kenosha; and the Story boys, formerly residents of Neb. We also had the pleasure of making a call at Mr. Baldwin's, a son-in-law of Mr. and Mrs.W. W. Wiley of Three Groves, and had quite a pleasant chat with him during our stay. I will give the market prices of a few farm products in Denver, merely to show the difference between the markets here and the eastern states; nearly everything is sold here by the pound or cwt: Wheat, Colorado, is worth S3 102 15 per cwt.; Cora, 1 201 25 Mr cwt.; Oats. Colorado, 82 002 25. State;? 81 751 90 per cwt.; Hay, bald, S1924 per ton; Po tatoes, peach blows, 2 002 50 per cwt.; Turnips 2 cents per lb.; Flour, 83 353 50; Butter, ranch, 2630 cents per lb.: Eggs, 17 cents per dez.; Beef, dressed. 99, live weight 2 4j; Pork, dressed, per lb., 7 cents; Honey, strained, 15 10 cents per lb., comb, 25 30; and other things in pro portion. I fear this letter is too long already and must close. If this letter is allow ed space I will write again. Resp'y, RAITGEB. Weeping Water Notes. Not much to mention this week; dnst and dry weather absorb nearly all the news. We had splendid indications for rain Sunday evening, but after lightning and many cleuds, our prospects disap peared in the Ease, West and North, leaving us still parched and dry, with a clear sky, Farmers are feeling very blue over the prospects for another harvest, as small grain and corn need rain very much. Barnes' new stere is assuming a store-like appearance quite rapidly, and will be an ornament and of bene fit to Weeping Water. The railroad surveyors have left us. D. E. Jones is building an extensive two-story kitchen addition on the North side of his house. Miss Creda Wolcott is improving. She ha3 been an invalid for some time, caused, I understand, from a fall on the ice last winter. Mr. Rockwell was made happy re cently by a brand new little stranger; and likewise Mr. Fitzpatrick. All do ing well. Mrs. M. E. Woods, we are sorry to learn, is quite ill. ' It takes Tom much longer to dine now than it used to do. However, it's all right, Tom; we would, toe; it's much more corapanienable. You'll hear again from Trixy. I Don't Hunt thut Stuff," Is what a lady of Boston said to her husband when he brought heme some medicine to cure her of sick headache and neuralgia, which had made her miserable for fourteen years. At the first attack thereafter it was adminis tered to her with such good results, that she continued its use until cured, and was made so enthusiastic in its praise that she induced twenty-two of the best families in her circle to adopt it as their regular family medicine. That "stuff" is Hop Bitters. Attention, Citizens!!!
