V. A Tilp South ol lh Platte.
-' Lat week we broke loose from our
.retirement. and, in company with three
ocia1, jovial fellows of this place, Hurled
yr Ntjhroska Ci'y. We wound our way
round the stylish residence of L. II Kin
ley, on the outskirts of B;llerua. nnd
struck on to the Territorial Road buili by
l. Site ; cromd over his new bridge
yft the Tapplo, v hich, ly the way, is a
bridge as i a bridge," we soon found our.
jivlves in Larimer City, u place not alto
gether unknown iu the history of Sarpy
jCouiity.. .
Lkrimcr City lie on an even plaieou,
lout one und a half miles from ih Mis
ouri river, c lose on the north bank of the
iMatte fiver, it lnu an abundance of build
trig niaterml uiljoining the site : limber,
tock, sauJ, and all tho essentials for build
Inj'a"" right smart" liule town. We
crossed this Platte river at this point by
thg "id of Brother Levi Kimlall, nnd
landed safe in Cass County. Spending
ft Ferries n'e can safely sny to those
wishing to cross the "Platte, thnt thii Kerry
Js at safe aud reliable as any Missouri
. We hauled up for dinner at Queen's
Hotel, Plattsmouth. Here we expected
to find i.iany signs of hard times' by lh
dullness of business, and the usunl grum
bling of. business men ; but we found Uw
reverse. The improvements going on in
inany parts of the town, the stirring buoy
strides of the citizens, and the immense
tiles of freight strewn up and down the
Landing, gave strong evidences of the
actual prosperity of Plattsmouth. Having
rettcd'our nagsa id fully satisfied the in
ner P.iaa at Queen's well-spread table,
we broke out for Nebraska City..
'About five miles out from rinttsmouth
fhe tncely undulating nnd slightly rolling
prairie1 and the' thick margin of timber on
tho. Missouri, drew forth voluntary np.

at&kkly timbered, grove, with a Bin."!)!
stream running tbro it, situated about six
iftjjs4 wet of the Missouri. Here we
found an . old l friend, Hon. Buck, a
tpVujber of the second Legislature, from
Casl Couuty, living in a large, and com
jioJous new dwelling. Mr. Buck has a
premium farm, and appearances indicate
hV teste ami enterprise as a practical far
mer. But on inquiry we found ho had
the -good f ixttme to be born in the Tin
pjrst State (our native State, as most eu
terprUing linen were.) which in a great
dr xt)Cintl,for the milk, jq thtj cocoa

"We proceeded from this point towards
Nebraska Cityt oud three miles out from
Mr. Buck we eucountered the Weeping
Yater a stream much like our Pappiliou
and about tha saaie size, but why it was
given the mournful cognomen of " Weep
ing Water," w cannot (ell, for wr are
inctmed to the opinion lhat a more clear,
pyre, f beautiful, merry liule stream does
not ran in Nebraska. We had to ford
the stream, the water being about 4 feet
dorp, and about six inches of the same
ai f -yai . rushing into our carriage and
cfcmplucently drenching our clean linen
and store c'-nlies we had in a carpet-sack,
id case of a dance' or a parade. Once on
the top of the banks" of the Weeping
Water ,'aud on the broad prairie, the rib
bous were drawn tightly over Kitty and
the,Silver (Jrey, and we went charging
along the Un. reaching Nebraska C ty
i . s - . a
ououi nve in me evening as we ue-
sceuded the hill north of the City, we
were struoK wun the reueuon mat less
than four yeara ago we approached the
c:ty on the same road, three small frame
bui dings, a few claim cabins and i
f hy O'ne old block house, was then al
of the now Star City of the South Platte.
Nov -you , behold its magnificent brick
blocks, its large brick churches, with
spires pointed heaven-ward, iu long busi
ness streets crowd d with live inen.tcams
carnages and emigrant wagons. In fact
Nebraska City is i place of no smalt pre
tenons ; besides her growing greatness,
'bplwijtfnjoyeil since ' it was. ti
a City, which has already prod
tonishment, she has now the re-sh
of the U. S- supplies, and an 'army of
tynrkmeo, teaatolers, orerseersand labor
ors tbat go with the trains across tha
plains. Here, too, lire many distinguish
eiodividuals, such as Speaker Decker,
Judge Bradford, Hons. M. S. Reeves,
CwiipLrU, Hale, aai oihwameo we
r-J about in the. Omaha ; Nohruskiau-
Hon. John Y. Kinney, formerly Chief
Justice of L'lah Territory, the eloquent
Holier, S. F. Nuckols. the inoui. d king
of South Pintle, also the eccentric J. S.
Morton.
: We called vipon Mr. Reynolds of the
Vruf and found him on the uaro and
flourishing like a Green Bay horse. On
our depirtgre from said city we drove to
the handtiome residence of Hon, J. S.
Morton. After taking a sharp and pier
ring glance at the bottom of a glas from
Morton's side board, we passed to the
rear of his residence to get a bird's-eye
view of his celebrated trotting horse,
" Pete," we think he called him. Pete
is a stallion. cut black, five years old,
and estimated at $1,000 1 coes in a bar
nous len than threo minutes and for
betuly and carriage, we never w his
superior. Morion is evidently proud of
Pete, as ho well m.iy be, for the liore
will do his master's bidding in mo,t every
intelligent maneuver except we do not
remember lo have heurJ him speak a
single word.
As we were about to start we noticed
a small specimen of the euiine species
which we admired, and on proper pre
sentation by said Morton of this young
" Dorg" according to law and cu-tom,
we seized nil ouiinul and stowed him
away under the earring i stat, unking n
mu-ic box of the same until we arrived
at Phitlstnnuth again. Here we found
our friends, true to the promise they bad
mad us on our downward trip, had gath
ered up the ril loin, silk", and crinoline
for a social dunce, which if we nre any
judge, was properly had at the Platte
Vallpy House, Mr. M'Carty proprietor.
This was the acme of our pleasure nnd
with nimble feet and a hearty good will
we whirled thro' the giddy mazes of the
dunce, and the house was 'redolent with
life, wit, and beauty, and all persons,
things and considera ions were enveloped
iu the Terpsichore n art,
" And when music rose with its voluptuous
swoll, .
Soft eyes looked lovs to tyts that spokt as
well."' '
Strength and manhood were led will
ing captives, chained to, the chariot of
beauty, whilst its wheel revolved to the
xhilnrating strains of inuMC the bright
lights shone resplendent upon the assem
bled pride,f PlatUmoulh.
The, next day we found our way to
this place a.?,! ' ' "r,l baptizing lite.

Rudio's punishment was commuted into
