Gexekal, Gkast's friends in Xe braska will make a determined .fight in his favor. Corn is worth over $3 per bushel in Furnas county, this state provid ed you 6teal it. A Finis at Alma, this state, last week burned the depot and four cars on a side track. A recent examination shows that the agricultural department costs the government $554,000. One hundred and fifty-one cars of immigrants and their outfits crossed at Plattsmouth last week. Henrv Pepper, of Wilmington, Del., law partner of Senator Bayard, was found dead in his bed on the 3d. Butler county has organized an immigration society and intend to solicit persons to Jocatc among them. A good thing. The President has withdrawn the nomination of Pinchback as Naval Officer at New Orleaus, thus leaving Lewis undisturbed. The President has nominated St. A. D. Balcome of Omaha, as Mar shall of Nebraska. It is thought the nomination will bo confirmed. The total coinage of the various mints in the United States during February amounted to $S,1G9,9G9, of which $2,300,-i00 were silver dollars. A good many farmers in Ibis state, aro sowing the white wheat. It is claimed that it yields better than the grass wheat, anil brings more in the market. A very dangerous one. hundred dollar counterfeit bill on the Nation al Bank of Commerce of Pittsburg, was recently discovered by the re demption agency. Two young men were frozen lo death a short distance south of La Salle, 111., last week. They were out hunting, and had not provided for severe weather. TnE statement waB made at Dub lin ou the 3d, that the Mansion House relief fund amounted to JCS7,C33. The great distress increases. Money is urgently needed. The mail matter conveyed over the Union Pacific it is estimated for the present year will reach daily 30,000 pounds. The average in 1874 was only 10,000 pounds. It is stated at Doadwood that passengers for the Hills have been corralled for thirty days at James town. All eastern mails will be sent out by the way of Sidney. The committee of claims reported the other day In favor of paying the claim of Warren Mitchell .$128,000. The money was received in 1SG3, from sales" of cotton," and covered into the treasury. President Diaz of Mexico gave a splendid banquet to Gen. Grant one night last week in the National Palace. All members of the cabinet, diplomatic corps and many other persons were present. A fire on the 3d at Buckley, Ark., burned a large hotel, owned by Gunn & Black. Loss $10,000. The South ern Express Co., occupied the west end of the hotel and all their papers and valuables were destroyed. It is claimed by Secretary Sher man that the issue of silver certifi cates has prevented white coin get ting into circulation. There is now in the treasury twenty millions of silver and one million of nickles. The PIattt6mouth Herald is ready to bet that if tho old capitol dome is not torn down, it will outlive Gray bill and all tho legislature of 79. In execrable memory long will live the legislators who voted the capitol steal. At StatcsVille, N. C, great num bers of mad dogs have appeared running wild over the county. The schools have eloped and the children aro detained at home. Several per sons have been fatally bitten by the rabid cauines. The "Western Union aud Union Pacific and Atlantic & Pacific tele graph companies were having a lively time last week in obtaining from the courts cross-injunctions to restrain each other from operating each other's lines. It is charged that the blockade on the Northern Pacific since Feb ruary the 15th, is the result of gross mismanagement. Business men and army people from all directions are sending complaints to the post office department. It is believed that congress will increase the amount for the Star route service to $150,000, with a res olution censuring the department. The post-master gcueral thinks this sum will maintain but not extend the present service as is desirable. The 2d inst. was observed gener ally at the Russian capital as a holi day in honor of the Czar, and the city of St. Petersburg was gaily and Loautifully decorated. Vast crowds congregated before the winter pal ace, and the Czar appeared on the balcony. In all leading corporations at Lowell there has been a general ad vance of wages within a few weeks past, and several manufacturing es tablishments haTe joined in the in crease which was agreed to by man ufacturers without petition or other movement of workmen. On the 5th there was $55,000,000 worth of gold bullion in the ew York assay office, ready to be trans ported to the Philadelphia mint for coinage. It is stated that the ap propriation for this purpose, for the present fiscal year, was but $5,000 which is already expended. About one thousand men and women employed in the government printing office at Washington were last -week suddenly thrown out of employment in consequence of the almost entire exhaustion of the ap propriation for the maintenance of that office during the present year. The rapid advance in the price of iron is something that astonishes railroadmen. In January 1879 it cost $17 a ton, and now $40 a ton. Steel rails brought $42 then, and now sell at $S5. The only reason able way to account for the increase in price is the largely increased demand for the article. The North Platto Union Pacific machine shops furnish employment to 175 men. The grand serenade in honor of Gen. Grant, in the City of Mexico, on the4lh, was a magnificent afi'air. Three hundred and fifty Mexicans participated, and the grounds were brilliantlv illuminated. It is reported upon good author ity that the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy aud B. & M. in Nebraska have consolidated. The consolida tion brings S00 miles of road on tho west side of the Missouri river and 3,000 miles east of the river, in Iowa and Illinois, united under one con trolling interest. Fairbdry, this state, was visited by another fire on the 1st., supposed to bo the work of an incendiary. The fire started in Ke&terson's agri cultural warehouse, and consumed that building, most of its contents, office and stable, the Dooley House, Mar's cigar factory and a saloon. The loss will reach $15,000. The Chicago Times says that the report of tho administrators of tho estate of "Uncle Dan" O'Hara of that city, have filed a schedule of "doubt ful claims," aggregating $14,485, rep resenting money loaned by the deceased to candidates for office, who aroused the old gentleman's sympathy by their appeals for aid. The latest presidential point is that an influential democrat of Chicago has lately received advices from Samuel J. Tilden that he is not a candidate, but will urge the nom ination of Senator David Davis of Illinois. The influential democrat believes that Davis will be the can didate. Tho Times is authority for this bit of news. Meetings are annouueed to be held by the stockholders of tho A. & N. P. R. Co. at Atchison on the 25lh of March, and also a meeting of the stockholders of the L. & N. W. It. R. Co. at Lincolu on tho Gth of April. Also a similar meeting of the stockholders of the B. & M. R. R. Co. at Plattsmouth on the 2Gth. From what we have been ablo to learn the object of these meetings is ultimately to effect one grand con solidation of all the railroads hereiu mentioned. Recent reports from Washington City indicate that the Ute Indians have consented to a removal from their present reservation. The White River Utes, it is thought, will be removed to the Uintah reserva tion in Utah, and Ouray and the Uncomphagrcs settled in severalty on land on the Grand river in Utah. The southern Ute delegation it is believed will be located on a strip of land bordered by the La Platte river iu New Mexico aud near tho Navajo reservation. Rawlins, Wy., was la6t week the Bccne of two murders. Ed. Clark, who had been out during the night, relumed about five o'clock iu the morning, was shot at and mortally wounded by his partner Joliu Lee, for the trifling oflense of attempting to start a fire. Lee made his escape. Shortly after this a 6aloon keeper, named Kniths, was stabbed and in stantly killed by a teamster, named Frank Harrington. They quarreled about a liquor bill. Harrington gave himself up and went to fail. A terrible wind Btorra passed over Indianapolis, Ind., ClevcJaud and Toledo, Ohio., on the morning oftheSth, unroofing houses, blow ing down chimneys and uprooting trees. Tho Central Avenue M. E. Church at Indiauapolis waB almost entirely demolished. The Female Seminary at Cleveland was badly damaged, part of the upper story being torn off. About seventy-five young ladies were sleeping iu the institution but none were injured. At Toledo tho Buckeye Brewery was blown down, falling on and crushing the engine house, killing John Havelett and M. Doyle. The national union greenback labor convention convened at St. Louis on the 4lh in Masouic Hall at noon. Two hundred and fifty dele gates appeared in the convention representing twenty Btates. Ralph E. Hoyt was elected president, and Geo.W. Brewster of Iowa, secretary. Thanks were voted to Dennis Kear ney, Pomeroy and Pryer, and to representative Weaver and other greenback congressmen. W. II. Branton, editor of the West Tennes see Whig, made a speech, in which he said he would be obliged to with draw from the convention, aud he and five other editors bolted, amid cries of "get out." The platform adopted was about the same as last year. Stephen B. Dellaye of New Hampshire, was, after numerous speeches and great confusion, noniii nated for president by a small ma jority, and B. J. Chambers, of Texat, for vice president. Last week three days had been spent by the Coroner's jury in the investigation of tho Bates Thomas tragedy at Seward. All but three of the ten heretofore arrested, have beon discharged from custody of the Coroner's jury the two young Thomas's and a Mr. Bronghton re main under arrest. It is stated that the wounded are improving except old man Thomas and one of bis sons. W. H. Bates, who was killed in the family fight between the Bates aud Thomas's, was buried on the 3d inst., by tho Masons, the members of Milford aud Ulysses lodges also participating. It is said to bo the largest funeral procession ever seen in the county, being more than a mile in length. This bloody and sad affair originated in the school of Miss MaryMcLeland by the teacher having the director, Isreal F. Bates, expel from the school Harvey Thomas and Amos Donaldson on account of whisper ing and disorderly conduct. This action on tho part of the school board iucensed these two boys against the Bates family, and they enlisted the sympathy of the remain der of the male members of the Thomas family, Wm. Donaldson aud Charles Broughton. Director Bates had a talk with the father of Harvey Thomas after the expulsion, and informed him that his boy could come back to school by con forming to tho rules. Geo. E. Bates is a regular minister of gospel in the M. E. Church, and conducted the services in the school house on Thursday evening of last week, and when the meeting closed and the audienco were leaving the room, Henry Thomas commenced the attack by striking Wm. Bates on the head, which stunned and stag gered him and while falling over, the pistol shot was fired that killed him. Sheepish ncfcR. Mr. Editor: Tho abovo caption may have a supposed sarcasm about it, but upon examination the old proverb "a good deal ot cry and little wool" will have to be reversed in Nebraska; "a little cry aud much wool," will bo the conclusion. Sheep husbandry, like many of the untried industries iu this State, has not yet commanded the atten tion of tho great wool growers of the United Stales, but from the small investments intelligently ap plied it does not require much fore cast to predict sheep raising as one of the most importaut factors in tho future wealth, to be eliminated from tho millions of acres of nutritious grasses and dry climate, which are tho very elements of sheep life and rapid increase. A few facts like thoso presented in recent numbers of tho Journal will do mora to direct attention to our superior ad vantages for wool growing and mutton, than all tho dissertations of learned theorists. The statement of Chas. Thrush of Colfax county, published in the last Journal, showing a net gain for four years of $743.50 from $120 in vested, is true. I saw his sheep when he bought them, and also know that he was inexperienced, but by careful study of the needs and habits of sheep, ho attained the re sults he communicates to the Scbuy cr JSun. Iri'Land and Home, an agricul tural paper, is published a series of articles by Joseph Harris, "Talks on Sheep," and in the January number he refers to one ewe as having a lamb that weighed 14 pounds at birth, and became so ecstatic over such a prodigy that the lamb was known as tho fourteen pounder. Against this statement I quote the figures of A. Heinricb, a sheep raiser of Platte county, of lambs dropped this spring weighing from 35 to 40 pounds, whose communica tion appears in the Journal of Feb. 25th. The large flocks of sheep already in the State, and the thous ands of acres of land taken for tho pasturage of immense flocks to be brought in the coming season, all attest the value aud importance of sheep raising (even on a small scale) sending the results of their success to their local papers. Dot. CrcMtos Items. Some of the neighbors were treat ed to an impromtu deer hunt tho oth er day ; a fire was coming iu from the north with the wind and in order to prevent damage the men went out a few miles to head it off While they were firing two deer sprang into sight between the fires. For a few moments the excitement was intense, the men and horses joining in the chase. At one time they had them hemmed into a little space,.the fire burning all around ; but after a few minutes hesitation they leaped the flames aud oscaped. Had any of the party had guns they could easily have killed them, as they were within a few feet of them. The population of our township is increasing. Mr. Westcott with a large family of children has recently moved into his new home on Sec. 29. He was very glad to find five acres already broken for him. Mr. Potter from Iowa, with his wife and family, are expected short ly to occupy the Wickhatn farm on Sec. 30, which they have' recently purchased. In addition to these, sons and daughters have been added to the homes of George Rollins, William Knight aud E. Graham. Long life to them all, young and old. N. N. Platte Centre. March 5, 1880. Ed.
