Claim Association Meeting.
At a meeting of the Bellevue and Platte
Valley Claim Association, it was
Rrsotvr.n, That the members be requested
to make a plat of their several claims, show
ing as near as possible, their connection with
the Government Surveys, and also the streams
and roads that pass through or bound them,
so that a map may be made for the use of the
Association, and that such plain be handed to
the Secretary as soon as possible.
JOSEPH DYSON, President.
W. H. Cook, Secretary.
JfrcS" For the last two or three weeks,
the readers of the Gazette could find that
we were a little opposed to the manner
in which our Post-Office was conducted,
and in our last weeks' issue we stated
that there were certain things expected,
nd others not, which has raised the ire
of our very accommodating and honest (?)
P, M. so much that he is inclined to live
for the future up to the very letter of the
delivery law, and has made it a ride to
require an order from every person who
wishes a friend to bring his mail for him
from tha office, and has also . been
charging the authorship of the last article
to certain 'friends :of the pazctle. Now
as all the articles that have heretofore ap-
" peared in the paper originated in the offi
ce, we are opposed to that official charging
them to our friends, as we consider our
. selves perfectly responsible for all we
have heretofore said. On Tuesday last
we had the pleasure of an interview with
the Deputy Post-Master (for we would
have the citizens of Uellevue understand
that there is such an officer), of this city,
. who nobly came to the rescue of that
worthy official, and said many nice things,
for all of which we return our sincere
thanks. Personally, we have no animos
ity against either the P. M. or his Depu-
, ty.but officially, he (or they), receives our
disapprobation. We are aware that our
. P. M. has not the power to make postage
stamps, as it would be forgery, but we are
also awaro that it is his duty to keep a
supply on hand. He says that the PoSt-
. Office . Department is to Llame, as they
wrote several times to that Department
for stamps. ' Now we ask, is there one
(excepting the P. M.'s), in this commu
nity, who could for a moment believe that
the Department is entirely out of that ar
. tide. If that had been the case for such
a great length of time, would not some of
the Eastern papers stated the fact, for we
think that there has been none in this
' Port-Office for months, and all that time
we, the citizens of Bellevue, have been
: paying almost double postage.
Iu answer to our second charge for
that official say they are charges we
would say that he (or they), cannot deny
that the mail frequently passes without
being examined, for if we are not much
mistaken that thing occurred some three
weeks since.
As to the fourth, they know that they
frequently say that there is nothing, when,
on examination, they have found that
there were several papers there at the
6ame time.
To the fifth, we would say, that we
know of cases that persons have taken
, back matter belonging 16 others, which
has been given by them to such persons,
no doubt by mistake.
And ns to tho last, they also know that
very often persons have to wait a consid
erable length of time to gain admittance.
We could mention a great many abuses
( rhqa. ,we have us yet said nothing aliout,
hut (,Msider that for the present we have
given aWficient in detail, to show to the
citizens jjjat we aro determined to mak
the worthy P, M. more punctual in the
discharge (4 Jus fifl iI duties, and hope,
ns that individual declares hinwlf iin
prnjimllo to assault, (ur citizens, who
feel themselves injured by tho Post-Ollice
arrangements of llellcvue, will take sides,
as the gentlemen are certain thnt we are
wrong, and that the public will xiistaiu
them. He 11 see.

Why I and my loirders should stiller on

don't understand, while the community
are on every side complaining of the mis

"The galled jade seems to winco" under
the hints given him in regard to his du

waited in tho cold outside, and almost as
often turned away, tired of waiting the
convenience of the official ; and when in,
there has been often a spool of thread or

be delivered over. I think this state of
things can he remedied, although it is
stated confidently that "there is not a man
honest enough iu this end of town to per
form the duties of the office." Oh!

moral worth be hid in a Post-OlTii-e in so
small a town as this. Shall we have a

"To Improve the Soil and Mind."
rriHF. object of the 'Farmer' Is proclaimed
X iu its motto; faithful to this end, it will
Kim to take rank with the Agricultural peri
odicals of the day, and pursue such a course
as will render it a welcome visitor to every
Farmer in Nebraska. The Publisher deems
it unnecessary to enter into an argument to
convince the farming community in this Ter
ritory of the importance of such a work. The
natural adaptation of our soil and climate to
Agricultural pursuits, known to all who have
examined, is thought to be a sufficient apology
for entering upon this enterprise. We have
made arrangements for regular contributions
from a number of practical Farmers and Hor
ticulturists, in Nebraska, ajid will continue to
secure others to such an extent as warrant
us in saying thnt the 'Farmer' will proven
depository of a mass of important facts in re.
latjon to njk'riculturs, rarely to be met with.
ana at a cusi wmrti luaces u wiuun Uie reach

Horticulture. Special attention will be,
given to the writing and selection of matter
appertaining to the culture of all kinds of
Fruits, Flowers and Vegetables, adapted to
this soil and climate, accompanied by numer
ous Engravings with full descriptions.
Ladies' Department. This Department will
be devoted to Household affairs, and will be
conducted by a lady of ability and experi
ence, assisted by able lady correspondents.
Plan and Size. The 'Farmer' will be pub
lished on the 1st of each month, printed on
new type and good paper; each number will
contain eight pages of reading matter, three
columns to the page; size of page, 10 by 13

Farmer in Nebraska are desired to act as
Agents. Additions can be made to clubs and
back Non. furnished at any time during the
year. Clubs need not be confined to one Post
Office, but w ill be sent to diflereut oflioes if
desired.
C t?" Persons iri the States who are "look

better than the ''Farmer" to "poet them up."

tance of the establishment of an Agricultural
paper in Nebraska, and make an effort to ob

Ilie rapid nnd unprecedented Incrense of (he

can, not only In Mai viand, but In Ilie South
ern nnd Western fltnfes, ia a most gratifying
evidence that our elicits to furnish n first class
family ami business newspaper nre fully ap
preciated by the large number of renders to
whose Interests It Is especially devoted. Its
completeness In every department of Domes
tie nnd Foreign News, nnd Literary nnd Mis
cellaneous Rending, nnd its reliability as a
compendium or the Commercial and Business
Afl:iirs of Baltimore Is so universally admit
ted, that It bit become a neresslty with nil
persons doing business with our rlty, whilst
to the general reader it is acknowledged to be
wiih'Mit a superior as a fireside journal.
The present large circulation, with a con
tinuation of the rapid accession to Its sub
scrltioii list since tint 1st of Jununry, aver
ting NEARLY ONE HUNDRED PER DAY,
warrants us iu the expectation thnt before the
close of the year it will reach an unexampled
circulation.
In order to render the Weekly American
still more acceptable to its numerous renders,
wo propose during the present year to add
largely to Its' nttrnctive ipialities.nnd in doing
so shall spare neither labor nor expense to
keep It iu ndvnnee of nil ils cotemoraries.aa a
FIRST CLASS FAMILY NEWSPAPER,
Its size enabling u to give nearly double the
amount of reading of any oilier Weekly paper
published South of Philadelphia, and conse
piently rendering It the
CHEAPEST WEEKLY PAPER
published In any of the Southern or Western
Slates.
LITERARY AND MISCELLANEOUS.
We propose to grently Improve this depart
ment of the Weekly American, which will
hereafter embrace the productions of the
ablest and most popular world-renowned
WRITERS OF FICTION,
with Literary selections that cannot fail to
give universal satisfaction. It. will also con
tain original nnd select articles on Science
and the Arts, with Miscellaneous Reading
that will he both instructive nnd entertaining.
FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE
is another great feature of the Weekly Amer
ican, In which we nre sure ils readers for the
past year will bear witness to its being with
out a superior among the Weekly papers of
J lie country. Receiving regularly full tiles of
Eiiropcn u journals, our compendium of Foreign

: ... THE DOMESTIC NEWS,
embracing the affairs of the whole country, as
well as of our own State and the luteal Mai
lers of the City, Is nlso n feature of the Week
ly American that cannot fail to give to its
new subscribers, as it has to its old friends,
the must universal satisfaction. Tho many
hundred copies weekly mailed by our city
readers to their friends in the country, and
absent relatives, is an evidence of it great
superiority in this respect.
THE AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT
will hereafter receive special attention, and a
column will always be found on our fourth
page containing a variety of useful and valu
nliln Information to the 'Farmer. It will em
brace original and selected essays from the
most able and experienced writers.
THE COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT
has obtained a character for completeness
and accuracy not surpassed by any other pa
pet in the Union, A a ha si's of this asser
tion, it may be stated that at many flour
mills, stores, nnd distilleries, so much reli
ance is placed on its market reports, thnt
sale of grain and other produce ar made in
advance, prices being, by mutual agreement,
based upon the quotations given iu its com
mercial review of the Baltimore markets.
It also contains a regular report of the mar
