Local & Miscellaneous. In the absence of our Religious Report er, we are unable to Hate who will offi ciate at the School House next Sabbath. But presume there will be preaching and praying as usual, at 10 1-2, A. M., and 7, P. M. The man that goes home with the girls, will of course be there. Thanks tor Favors Recti vkd. Week before Inst, we announced the death of Mr. Cylinder E. Watch, of de cline, of this city. For the benefit of Mr. W numerous relatives, we requested Nebraska, Kansas, and Ohio papers to copy. As we have not yet received all of our exchanges, up to the time that they would receive ours, containing Mr. VY'a obituary, we ore not informed how many of them complied with our request. But we notice that the Omaha Times, Florence Courier, and Desoto Pilot, coped it, and for their benefit and all others that may hare done likewise, we publish the follow ing transcript of the Coffin Flate, which, we have no doubt, will be read by them with a pood deal of interest : " Cylinder Escapement, Eight Holes Jewelled ; M. J Tobias, Liverpool." Sold, gen&. men told ! Please cony, for the benefit of your readers. Ws Still Prosper. Not withstand iug the hard times, our citizens continue to erect buildings, whtch shows that they are not to be bullied by a little adversity. Johic P. Hon & Co's two story store, on Main Street, is being pushed towards completion, and when finished it will add -another to those substantial improvements that have been made on Main Street, this season. J. P. II. & Co. keep a variety Btore, and their new building will aliord there ample room for a large stock of goods. "S-eatoi & Rowles are erecting two dwelling houses on Warren Street. Whitmoyxr & Sherk have erected a dwelling house on Hancock Street. Mr Leach has commenced the erec tion of dwelling on Jefferson Street. Rev. C C. Cos, read portions of the History of Bellevue, which he is prepar ing for publication, X the School House, Thursday evening of last week. It was well received, and we ro glad to learn that it gives general satisfaction At the close, a vote of thanks was tendetfd Mr. Goss for the able manner in which he had treated his subject, and the evening's en tertainment, with a rsquest to coutiuue the History, which he had written only up to the union of the Mission and Town Com panies. It U no easy task to gather up facts, and systematise and weave them to gether, and make them entertaining to a general audience ; but we think Mr. G. has been quite successful thus far, and we shall have a history of our city, that will not only be readable, but as accurate as time and patience can make it. The New Bridge. The Carpenter work on the Government Bridge, that is to be built over Pappillion Creek, a mile and a half south of this city, on the Wag on Road, which extendi from Platte Riv er to the Running Water, is completed, and as soon as the iron arrives, it will be ready for erection. This Bridge is to be one of the largest and most substantial in the Territory. Its extreme length is 68 feet, width, 16 feet. The frame is con structed of large oak timber. Riter News. The new steamer, E. M. Rvlano, passed up on the afternoon of Oct. 2d. The Carrier arrived Oct 4, bound for Sioux City. She made our levee in 8 days from St. Louis, which, considering the low stae of water, is remarkable good time. Omahas. A band of Omahas visited our city, last rriuay. I hey were on their way to the Otoes, who reside in the south part of the Territory. The weather has been unpleasant most of the time, during the past week. Rain, log, lowering clouds, mingled with a little isun-shinenow and then, has been the or dor of the day. We printed a large extra edition, last week, of the Gazette, for the benefit of the Bachelors, which went off like hot cakes, and the cry was for more. Wheth er they have an admiration of hoops and cotton, or not, they do appreciate the la bors of the printers. e wouia coia mend their example, in ths particular, to some that are fathers of the "blessed baby, Tha wife and daughter of Lieut. Hern don, U. S. N., commander of the lost steamship Central America, passed the summer at Newport. Habitues of the Fillmore House will remember the exqui site voice of Miss H., as well as her good natured use of it. Miss H. is considered one of the best private singers in Ameri The family are from Virginia. The Atlantic Telegraph Cable is about the siio of a dime in diameter. The outside is composed of eighteen strands of small wire next is six strands of yarn, next three coats of gutta percha ; inside of all are aeven copper wires for tele graphing. The aggregate length of smaller wires required in the manufacture of one mile of the cable is 126 miles! It weighs eighteen hundred pounds to the mile, is quite flexible, and it was estimated to be strong enough to bear in water over six miles of its own length if suspended vertically. Tho whole capital of the company is $1,750,000, and has been taken in shares of (5000 each. The proportions in which these shares have been taken are, 101 in London, 88 in America, 86 in Liverpool, 37 in Glasgow, 28 in Manchester, and the remainder in other pails of England. Newspapers lit Minnesota. At the present time forty-three weekly and three daily newspapers are printed and publish ed in Minnesota. Of these 17 are He- publican in politics, 14 are Democratic, 12 are independent. More than half of these forty-three newspapers are less than one year old. Nine of them date the commencement of their existence within the past two months. The Land Office building in Dakota is nearly completed. Death or a Famous House. Mr. Feltons' famous stallion Ticondcroga Black Hawk, which took the first premium at the recent United States Agricultural Fair, at Louisville, Kv., died a tew Cays since at Govanstown, Md., q lite suddenly, and his death was generally imputed to poison. He was valued by his owner at $10,000, nd he is said to have refused $8,000 for him a few days before his death. - A Singular Dyiso Request. We find the following in that sober and truth ful sheet, the Salem Observer An old man dying in Boston recently, was asked if he would have a clergyman sent for. He requested to see Rev. Dr. Colyer, who called upon him accord inc-ly. The sick man said: "I have just sent to request you to keep those confounded cats in your yard quiet to-night."
