Twelve years ago we became convinced
that the Platte Valley would -become the
great overland thoroughfare Je the Pa
cific, nnl altho' every exertion and every
artifice that could be (Uvmcd hns been
resorted to by those living nout!t to
find and establish, a southorn route
and Government bns already expend
ed ' millions to accomplish tho same.
''The task has proven unavailing. And
now after yeart of trial and tho expond
fng of untold amounts of money, tho
great EuttcrCeld lino of coaches to tho
Pacific has been Tcmovrd to the Piatt?
Valley, (central route) where a daily
lineof coaches from ()tn:iha,via Laramie,
Salt Lake and Carson Valley to tho Pa
cific, will be put ia motion on ot before
the first of July. , Tho Pacific Telegraph
has already cone as far as Kearney, nnd
this season will doubtless bo buihs far

The next great movement will be the

Aye, the zephyrs are once again waft
ing from the glowing south the breath
of roses and orange blos.nms, nnd even
here, in the broad benuteons plains of
the West, the fragrance of the snowy
white plum trees, and the beds of bloom

The forests and groves, and even our
own sweet tree-studded lawn, in front,
are rapidly assuming the bright, lenfy
garb, so cheerfully verdant as to wake
the heart throb with delight, ns at early

their joyous notes, to aw aken and encou
rage the husbandman in bis honest toil,
and cheer the heart that is tfd and lone

If there be a real joy for mortals on earth
it is those, combined with the compan
ionship of a quiet home, with "wife,
children and friends " and a heart to ap
preciate heaven's best gifts.
Give us the spring-time, with itsjli right
springing verdure, its fragrant flowers,
its music of brooklets and birds, its sigh
ingiephyrs and soft twilights, its youth
giving, soul-cheering, omnipotence, its
glorious sunshins nnd pattering,- rcviv'

every silly yarn that is related by di-sign-ing

movements pf the Sionx Indians, and the
danger to these far away frontiers, from
their hostilities.
To make short work of the matter we
will observe that we do not know of a
person in this whole frontier region, that
is fearful 0(f any outrage or dcxre
'.ions by thn Sioux or their allies. At
Kearney city, nnd all tUe way up and

and all sorts of agricultural works,
building and improvements are going on
regularly and rapidly, as though there
was not an Indian in this quarter of the
globe, and yet we learn that many are
afraid to travel up this Valley for fear i
of losing their very prcioui, coward

Frost. t
One n'ght last week we had quite a Tc
rere frost in some localities here, and,
wonderful to remark, whilst there was
ice in a tub by the house, the beans, mel

fairly up in the garden close by, escaped
uninjured, nnd are still Dun and healthy.

How soon another Birthday has duwn

that interesting epoch we h ive lived to
witness. Indeed we can scarce credit
tho fact, that time , has kept so long a
standing account with us; for ns we cit
here alone with our own thoughts ns
companions, we feel "wo are a boy a
gain," with spirits light, and agile limbs,
as when in our childish, school-boy
sports, few could excel us for flectness,
agility, or other manly amusements.
Indeed, it is hard to realize that we arc
becoming old, nnd that our noon-day of
life is past. Aye, to those who love and

It is quite surprising that our fron
tier farm?rs arc so negligent in master
ing tho theories of their business ns well
as practicing, thus neglecting to profit
by the experience of others ; and gaining
all their information step by step in tho
old-'fashioncd-slow-conch of experience,
which is cot only a loss of time,biit also
of opportunities of making money.
thrifty, or even economical fnrmer will
fail to take, at least, ono agricultural
journal. They nre a positive necessity
in these days of progress, nnd in money
and time will often save the husband
man a hundred or more dollars per year
