Lincoln has thirty-six regular trains running in and out daily. Keauney, of San Francisco, goes to prison in a greatly dejected con dition. Forest fires are again sweeping along the Hue of the New Jersey southern railroad. Gen. Grant arrived home at Ga lena, 111., on the 19th and met with a hearty reception. Nineteen fishermen were drown ed the other day during a gale off the Scottish coast. Several cases of spotted typhus fever were reported last week at St. Petersburg, Russia. President Haves has nominated Edgar AT. JTarbley, of Michigan, commissioner of patents. TnE upper Missouri is said to be so low that steamboats have to dou ble their tripB below Pierre. Two new cases of small-pox were discovered on the 19th at Chicago at No. 1,199 West Lake street. SEVERALpromlnent German pol iticians arc attempting to orgnuize a great democratic party in Germany. TnE "Western file-works at Beaver Falls, Pa., were destroyed by fire last week, causing a loss of 1400,000. A fire recently at Waupaca, "Wis., destroyed the post-office and several other buildings. The loss was about 19,000. Gin. Grant has accepted an invi tation to visit Sptiug field, III., tho borne of the martyr president, some time in May. Moody and Saukey have gone to San Antonio, Texas, to try their band at redeeming some of the hard cages in that quarter. The waters in the lower Missis sippi have bo risen by recent heavy rains as to caueo great anxiety over the condition of the levees. Chas.DeTodno, of tho San Fran cisco CItronicle, was shot dead in his ofice on the 23d, by I. M. Kallock, son of the Mayor of that city. The managers of the recent fair held in Music Hall, Cincinnati, for the benefit or the widows home, re port the net receipts at $ 28,2S1. 1bs. Chas. Uanckes, wife of Chas. Banckes, mauagor of the Omaha Post, put an end to her life Xaet week by taking a dose of arsenic. against Alex. Strnthers, former treasurer of that county. It is stated that his defalcation amounts to about $3,900. The family that a party of roughs went to charivari at Corumia, Mich., owned a shot gun, and the coroner last week held an inquest over the dead body of John "Wellman, one of the musicians. "We learn from the Seward Blade that Charles L. t)ocken, of Ulica Neb., last week blew his brains cut with a shot-gun, all on account of befog crossed in a lovo affair with Miss Jennie Christensou. The new building beiug erected adjoining the West Point paper mill, is to bo used as a milk-coudensing factory, and Is fast assuming shape. Thirty-five men are working on the job, and will soon complete it. Gen. Hatch recently surrounded, captured and disarmed the whole baud of Mescalero Apaches, in New Mexico, numbering 460 persons. It fc believed that this pestiferous tribe will soon bo thoroughly subdued. The city of Hull, Canada, was on the 22d, almost destroyed by fire. The scene throughout was one of the most agonizing description. Some 5,000 people are left homeless, while some 2,000 houses were burn ed to the ground. The news reaches us from "Walla "Walla that "Wm. Lisham and wife were fouud murdered on the 23d in bod, their heads chopped off with an axe. They were new settlers. No property disturbed, and no clue to the murderers. St. Louih promptly raised by subscription $2,500 for the sufferers from the recent storm. Over one hundred and fifty families are with out homes at Marshfield, and the number of wounded and maimed reach into tho hundreds. In the track of the recent storm in "Webster county, Mo., of which Marshfiold is the county seat, fully one hundred people were kill The loss to property in the county is estimated at $1,000,000. The Omaha Timber Colony is lo cated about six miles west of Oak dale, this state, and occupies about forty quarter sections of land In Antelope county. It is contemplat ed within a few days to plant 150, 000 forest trees on this laud. "Wr. learn that a cyrlono paused through Jo Davis counfj, 111., re cently, demolishing evcri'thing in its course. Buildings, fencr-s, stock, &c, were destroyed and scattered in every direction, and five lives were lost, so far as heard from. The same hurricane that struck the town of Marshfield, Mo., also passed a few miles south of Spring field, Mo., destroying a great deal of property, and killing a large number of people. Fifty deaths are reported alone on the James river. A disease resembling St. Vitus's dance has appeared among the young ladies attending school at the Brown county, Ohio, convent. It has spread so rapidly that studies have been dispensed witb, and many of the girls have loft for their homes. "We notice the going into effect at Chicago last week a new echednle on grain from Missouri river points east, based on the rate of 11 cents on wheat from Kansas City to Chicago and six cents to St. Louis. This is regarded as a very heavy reduction. Beaconsfield has tendered his resignation, and it is understood that the Queen has accepted it, and summoned Hartington and Gren- ville to "Winsor. It is thought that Hartington will advise the Queen to summon Gladstone to form a cab inet. TnE storm of last week and Its ravages extended Into Rock county, Wisconsin, where things were torn up at a fearful rate. Adjoining townships of Turtle, La Prairie, Bradford and Johnson suffered fear fully iu the loss of cattle, buildings, fences &c. ?100,000 won't count much in trying to fix up the damage done by the storm. Reports come from Kansas that the drought has very materially in jured the crops in western portions of the state; that the unfavorable weather and drought have total' destroyed the wheat crop west of Salina, and that there will be a part failure'of the crops for a hundred miles north and south of Topeka. The Providence M. E. Conference was in session last week and tried three of their brother preachers all for similar offences ; Rev. O. "Welber, whose wife accused him of Immoral conduct with a bright and attractive young woman who lived in the minister's family. Rov. A. "W. Page and Rev. De B. Stoddard were also tried and all three of them expelled from the ministry, the first Rev. by a vote of2Q0 WQinbprs. IVcbrjibUa. Two brief articles have beeu pre pared ami published, and left stand ing iu the Journal, relative to Nebraska, its advantages aud pro ducts. One more short article must cloc the scries for this season. To persons who never saw a "prai lie country, to look over it ip rather an interesting sight ; as u general thing the abseuce of timber gives to it the appearance of waste nnd bar renness to those who arc accustomed to live in a timbered couutry. Tim ber of every kind common to this latitude can bo cultivated on the prairies of Nebraska. Near the wa ter courses and river blufl's a large quantity of trees are generally found growing in great luxuriance. Among the varieties found in such localities are cottonwood, box-elder, buckeye, maple, locust, ash, hickory, oak, willow, poplar, sycamoro, wal nut, pine and cedar. The shrubs include common juniper, pawpaw, prickly ash, sumacs, red root, spin dle tree, plum, currants and goose berries, dogwood, butter bush, buffa lo berry, mulberry and hazleuut. Cedars are found on the islands of the Platte, aud along tho Loup, aud on the Niobrara there is a largo quantity of pino. But the interesting poiut we want to make is the fact that all this variety of trees will grow and flour ish on the prairie, and that as much timber as may be needed by each farmer can be raised on his farm. It is not a little surprising to know that the early travelers, and, among others, Gen. Fremont, should have formed the opinion that the prairies of Nebraska were a sandy desert, unsuited for farming purposes, when in these times it has been examined by competent judges and pronounc ed without any hesitation to be a region which is to be the great grain and stock -producing area of the continent. Men don't make bread of saud, and they don't, as a general thing, settle in such localities. The United States cover 23 degreos of latitudo ; away to the frozen north, aud down to tho semi-tropic eouth. With all this choice, from the be ginning of western settlement tho great current of movement has been within a central bolt five or six de grees in width, and nearly corres ponding with the latitudinal length of Illinois, which lies between 3G degrees, 56 minutes and 42jj degrees. This is the belt in the United States in which industry obtains tho most certain and highest rewards. It is tempcrato in climate and a man can work tip to hi3 best nolo h. The land is fruitful, and bears iu great Tb e Kond .uv. ed, and over two hundred wounded.- abundance those products which are necessaries of life, and which there fore have a steady commercial value. Tho population of Nebraska in the beginning of 185(5 was 10,710, and at the close of 1S75, 259,912, which was a tweuty-Gve-fold increase in twen ty years. Corn iu Nebraska is most bounti ful in production ; with fair cultiva tion the yield is from 50 to 60 bush els per acre. Wheat from 15 to 25 bushels per acre. Barley from 30 to 40 bushels. Rye 25 to 30 bushels. Oats 40 to 50 bushels. A country which is adapted to the raising of corn; small grains; good for grass and hay, and has at all times a fa vorable climate, must bo a good location for stock-raising. Live stock is in great demand the civilized over, and it is in live stock the far mer fiuds a great deal of his wealth. It has beeu demonstrated among the Nebraska farmers that mixed farming is the most profitable, there fore every farmer should combine grain and stock raisiug. In fact every farmer that has carried cattle upon his farm aud handled them with judgment lor any length of time is now enjoying tho rich profits of his investment aud labor. Look around among y'o'ur noighbors aud in every caso where money has been invested in stock and handled with care it has brought the largest in crease jn dollars and cents to those who have invested. And there is room in Nebraska for hundreds of thousands more farmers. Editor Journal: Tho article iu 'our "iiapcr of 21st calling atteutiou to the now road law was timoly, lhough I think that iu matters of general interest as this is, that our State authorities should not be ex pected to make an appropriation for its publication, but that our local papers ought to feci public spirit euough to give their readers ex tracts from such laws sufficient to show their bearing without going into the dry details, and this would cost them no more than somo dull prosy article which might be dis pensed with. The publication of tho article referred to makes mo more desirous to see more of tho law, and I hope the County Com missioners at their next meeting will direct so much of the law as will euablo tho general public to understand its workings to bo pub lished at the expense of the couuty, as I believe it will bo money judi ciously expended, but before I for get it I may say that I look upon the paragraph as very defectivo and showing a need of amendment, as it was clearly not made by farmers. In our precinct there aro probably 40 or 50 miles of public roads, and it can therefore bo readily seen the amount of labor it entails upon the supervisor, over his legitimate du ties, whiio the law at the samo time limits his compensation (uo matter how many days he may be ongaged) to about $30 or $35 per anuum, which will have tho effect of dis couragiug competent persons from accepting the position of supervisor. Now, it appears to me that a more just aud ratioual mode of accom plishing tho same result would bo to divide tho number of miles of road in oach precinct by the number of tax-payers, aud lot the supervisor assign to each his portion of road, on which grass or weeds are to bp mown and it should bo his duty to see that it was rightly done; but oven this wise measure of precau tion would havo availed nothing in the recent disastrous fire in our precinct when the devouring elo meut leaped ovor guards at least six rods in width, entailing a loss in the aggregate of from $1000 to $1500, but whatever the effect of tho law as at present constituted, by all means, gentlemen of the board of County Commissioners, let us know its bearings. Monroe. not deem it below their diguity to enlighten their fellow citizens re garding questions of such vital im port, for if doctors disagree, who shall decide?- Inquirer. The democrats of Now York in holding their stato conventions to scud delegates to Cincinnati appear to divide off into two factions, Til don and aiiti-Tilden. The regulars decline to embrace the Sachems of Tammany, aud the latter send a del egation of their own to Cincinnati. It appears that the strong faction which has grown up in New York with John Kulley at the head claims thut Mr. Tilden's grandfather and other relatives were tories during the revolutionary war. Kelley thought it was natural that some of the blood of tho father was in the son. Tho faction headed by Kelley deplore the division in tho party, winch they claim conies from the persistent efforts of one man to con vert tho party to a personal machine to secure a uomiuatiou to the presidency. Part of the wall and roof of the Madison Square Garden building at Now York city fell with a crash on the 21st upon the dancers inside, burying many out of sight. Screams and groans were heard on every side, and a panic followed. Several persons were killed and a great many injured. Tho loss to the building id estimated to be not loss than $40,000. Wm. H. Vanderbilt owns the building. HOMESTEAD NOTICE. Laud Odku at Gram! I?luuJ. 'cb..i April 7th, l). f C 1031 PLAINT having been entered at this office by Frank F.

The political conventions on both sides aro becoming somewhat unruly and noisy. -The campaign approach ing should bo one, on our side, of calm action and cool judgment. Lot the contest result iu tho nomination of either one of tho two most prom inent candidates on our side, tho friends of tho other should at onco bo prepared to yield their personal preference to tho 6imply lucky man. There should be no antagonistic con flict between tho friends of Gen. Grant and Senator Blaine. The careful exorcise of a sound judgment on the part of the mon intrusted witb the important duty of making the nomination, is what every mau has a right to expect, demaud aud receive, and after that to stop all grumbling. nor. John H. Tice has been in vestigating tho phenomena of the recent storm that swept away tho most of the town of MarshflcItl,Mo.. and says that everywhere along the track of the tornado there is evi dence of a wave of water followiug in the rear of the cloud spouta. In some places only faint traces of such a wave wore to be seen ; at others the dobris is carried up and over obstructions two to three feet high. These waves or currents flowed iu greatest volume up hill. There are places where tho entire top of the hill is washed away by the currents. K'j!y to "A Farmer." Mk. EniTon :---I am very glad you published "A llejoinder'' by "A Farmer" to my article "The Other Side Again ;" because I see from it that wo are gradually getting nearer to each other. I infer from his words that he is no friend of alco holic poisons that the money secur ed from licenses to sell such stuff is not applied to the families of those made doaolate by their use, simply proves that our sage9 at Lincoln are not as wise as tho rustic preacher down in old "Kentuck" where they make the good (?) Bourbon whis key. Passing a distillery one day, he was accosted by the owner, who offered him a dollar, remarking: "Mr. B., I would like to give you a dollar, but may be you will not take it, knowing it was made by making whiskey." "I shall certainly take it and relieve at least a littlo of the mil cry you cause, in the world, by making whiskey." Your writer, Mr. Editor, would bo in favor of not causing any such misery, then there would be no need of any relieving that kind. "Whiskey and all alco holic liquors aro very useful, like the pins iu the little boy's composi tion. He stated that pins saved thousands of lives, and being asked by his teacher, "how so ?" he replied "by people not swallowing them." Thus alcoholic liquors would save thousands of lives by people not swallowing them, whilo now they are destroying thousands of lives by being swallowed. 1 also perfectly agreo with our friend, "A Farmer," as to tho necessity of doing some thing to securo somo favorable leg islation in regard to sheep husbandry and other intorests of the farmers of this groat agricultural State. May little Massachusetts or Rhode Island depend on her shoemaking and on spindles Nebraska's future as well as present prosperity is in hot agri culture. As "A Farmer" seems to be deeply interested in the welfaro of our husbandry I flud in that fact another cause of shaking' hands with him and of saying: "Let us havo peace." But bofore closing, Mr. Editor, I would suggest another topic for discussion : what has- become of our Agricultural Couuty Fair? Arc there not public spirited, large hearted farmers enough iu Platte county to givo it a new start with out any horse-racing, without any monoy-making and other side in terests? Breeder. Reports of great destruetiou of lifo and property still continue to come in from tho recent tornado in Missouri. At nearly evory place touched by the hurricane dreadful havoc was niado of houses, barns, fences and trees, but the fatalities, although numerous in tho aggregate, were not anywhere else so sweep ing as at Marshfield. D.w'r. May, supposed to be a former resident of Lincoln, Neb., was run ever by a train from Boston to Dcadham the other day, and in stantly killed. The above name was in the lining of the victim's hat, and the initials of the same were on his shirt bosom. Ilo was about forty years of are aud it appears to bo a case of suicide. The Pullman Palace Co. are about to erect a jargo manufacturing es tablishment at Kingston, about five miles out of the city of Chicago, which will bo mado their main point oi supply for cars.
