For some time the county au thorities have allowed a safe pur chased by them to lie unused at the U. P. freight depot. It is presumed that it will get to its place in tho due course of time.

Let every man turn out to the meeting to-night for making prepa rations to celebrate the Fourth on Saturday of next week. Some more working committees are to be se- I lected, aud everything got in readi ness for a live, old-fashioned, rous- j ing celebration of the day which made us a nation. Illustrious now among the nations of the earth it is nobly becoming in American citi zens of all creeds aud races, to com mune together and rehearse the story ol the Revolution, and our brilliant career as a nation, congrat ulating ourselves upon tho fact that in every emergency, at every turn where danger seemed lurking-, tho free institutions established by our forefathers, and bequeathed by them to us as their greatest legacy, have stood the test of civil war, the se verest strain upon a republic, and are likely to be perpetuated forages yet to come. The A, 4c I. The new road is now in full blast, the agent, C. M. Chambers, the operator, G. W. Reed, and the warehouseman, D. E. Carpenter, having moved from their temporary quarters into the new depot, last week. This structure is a model of neatuess and convenience, and pas sengers will find nothing lacking of things that are usually found at railroad depots. Mr. Chambers in forms us that, though the distance over their line to Omaha is 150 miles, their rates, both of fare and freight, are the same as the U. P. of 92 miles, also that the rates to Chicago are the same. At Lincoln connection is made daily for Omaha, Plattsmouth, &c, and on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays for Atch ison. More and more every year Ne braskans arc learning to make per manent, solid improvements. This general fact is strongly instanced in this city on the new dwelling-house which is being erected by M. Whit moyer. Wo refer to a stono wall sixteen inches thick as a cellar wall, and foundation for the superstruct ure of brick. The material is lime stone from the Roca quarries situ ted twelve miles south of Lincoln, and is put Into the wall here for a little less than the same space in bricks would cost. This is made possible by the now railroad to Lin coln, and the fact is destined to work a revolution in buildiug in this community. Those wanting further information ou the subject can examine the foundation at. Mr. Whit mover's or address Key & Bul lock, Roca, Nobr. Saturday evening, July 10th, a grand concert will he given at the Opera House by the Arian and the Maennerchor societies, for the bene fit of the Sisters' Hospital, just com pleted in this city. There is no cause upon earth that Is more de serving than that which lessens the s u He ring of mankind, and there is probably no institution among men so universally recognized as purely benevolent aud broadly useful as the hospitals of the Sisters. Let there be a large turnout. Judge W. S. Geer was absent all of last week except Monday, attending District Court at Oakdale. He is back again, and at work. We learn that he had a fearful time get ting there; that he was stuck iu the mud near Platte Center for quite a little while, but finally pulled out, just in time to escape the train.
