Mrs. Van Hansen, of Edseo, Wis., through stress o financial troubles, the other day embarked on the sea of eternity by thb agency ot a razor. It is said that the oldest ex-member of Congress ig the Hon. Mark Alex ander, of Virginia, and Is in destitute circumstances. He is ninety years of age. Can it be possible that the state ment made in au exchange is true that "there are already more applica tions toz space at the Stato Fair than can be granted." An Ohio larmer who has barbed wire fences on his farm, says he gets one-fourth more work out of his hired mau than he used to when he furnish ed a top rail to sit on. The weather being unfavorable only three hundred persons were present tha other morning at the opuulog of the Freethinkers' Conven tion at Wntkins, N. Y. Haurt McCormick, of Omaha, while out bnuting prairie chickens the other day, accidently discharged bis gun and badly mutilated two of the middle toes on ono foot. It is said the starfish have attacked the oysters in Long Island Sound, and are expected at other oyster beds soon. These fish did great damage in oyster beds five years ago. Thh crn crop In the vicinity of Blair, Neb., is immsense. Seme fields are expected to yield from 80 to 100 bushels to the acre. Tho general average is put at sixty bushels. It is claimed that tou eye-witnesses to the murder of the Joyce family In Ireland have been discovered by the police, and teu of the persons in cus tody have been identified as connected with the tragedy. Four masked men robbed a Etagc near Globe, A. T., the other day, killed the express messenger, rifled tho 6afe, aud relieved the five pas sengers of all their valuables. They secured about $10,000. The body of Miss Ella Walker who BOtnctitiiu since disappeared and was supposed to have either committed suicide or eloped, was found tho other day in Lake Minuetonka. It was a case of felo de se. A black magnetic sand that is found in abundance in California it, by recent new process, utilized in the manufacture of ca&t steel direct from the sand. Eight pounds of sand yields five pounds of steel. Reports come from certain locali ties ia Illinois that a well known swindler oes about among the farm- 1 ers obtaining their signatures to orders for goods, transforming tbe orders into notes, selliug tho notes and disappearing. This time he is spiling carpets. An item of news from Kalamazoo, Mich., saya Grandmother Gartield, Gen. Garfield's oldest son and a sister of Mrs. Lucretia Garfield parsed through there on the Lake Shore & Michigan Souther railway. Mr. Girfield is on her way to visit her son at Jamestown, Mich. Grandma hears the jonrney remarkably rell. It is claimed that it waa a tobacco eaneer that killed Senator Ben Hill. This statement i made from the fact that Senator Hill wasjin tho habit of holding a cigar in his mouth, with the nicotine-coated end atrninst thn left side of his tongtio, and there Ik na doubt that this wa the exciting eatise iu his case. The secret perhaps of Senator Hili's case is found in the fctatemeiit that caucor was. hereditary One hundred and fifty millions of 32 per cent, bonds have already been surrendered hy national banks alone. An attempt was made tbe other evening to mnrdcr a whole family at Columbus, Ohio, through the agency of an infernal machine. A box was handed to Mrs. Stump by a Btranger wnosaia, "nere a present tor you and the children." Her husband soon came in and tbe box being carefully examined induced them to believe It contained something eke beside a present. They opened tbe box con trary to the directions given on the box and found it charged with pow der and nearly 100 bulletc, aud had it been opened as directed would have killed Mr. and Mrs. Stump and their three children. What the motive for the deed could have been is not known or even suspected. It is stated in the receut news from Salt Lake City that the Utah commis sioners were given a reception at the McKenzie parlors, Walker Opera House. The reception was attended by all classes. The Mormon church employed four leading law firms of Salt Lake to defend county officials who are soon to lose their positions under tbe new law giving Governor Murray power to appoint by reapou of the August elcctiou lapsing, caused by failure of the commission to arrive and place the machinery of election in motion nnder the Edmunds law. It is claimed that $10,000 was put up by the church to fight the new law. The snakes in Delaware beat Ne braska snakes all to pieces. Accord ing to the statement of a man of truth, a black snake was seen tbe other day near Dragon creek, Delaware, which was at least twenty feet long and about a foot in diameter, as near as he could judge by the hurried glance he gave tbe reptile. It was coming di rectly toward him and he gave his horse a cut with a whip just as the snake jumped for tbe animal. The horse sprung to one side and started on n dead run, terribly frightened. The snake missed its aim, but Btruck the front wheel of the carriage a stun- ning blow, breaking out nearly every spoke and making the vehicle tremble and cant dangerously to one side. The horse run about a mile before he could be checked up, when the man looked back, but saw nothing of the great snake. He descri bes it as being covered with large scales. This is Mr. James Cheeseman's story. Chas. Brown and his wife, while black berrying in the same vicinity, were chased by tho same immense creature. Another man who from modesty does not care to have his name appear, very rolunctly gives his experience while out blackberryiug in the samo vicinity he saw this terrible snake, which he mistook for a log, which had scales on it as large as soup plates. He shot at the snake afterwards but the shot were flattened out aud fell to tho ground taking no effect upon the snake. Parties are being formed to have a grand snake hunt, and we hope to be able soon to announce the death and description of this monster enake. have cleared away some of the obsta cles to the sinning of the military convention, ard it is believed it will soon be definitely concluded. The English arc now iu full possession of the -canal from Surz to Port Said. Arabi is hourly throwing np new in trenchments aud otherwise fortifying bis positione. Threatening letters from Syria, Arabia, and Egypt, it is claimed, have deterred the Sultan from signing the military convention with England. Reports of outrages on Christians in Asia Minor are current at Constantinople, many, it is alleged, having been assassinated nt Beyront. Cretton. Harvest is over, stacking finished aud now the merry sound of the threshing machine is heard, in the land. With scarcely an exception the grain yield is abundant. J. Phillips threshed nearly 300 bushels of oats from 58 acres, over 50 bushels to the acre; a good return from 11 bu. ot seed. R. C. and F. Moran carried the first crop of Flax to Humphrey fo the season. If nothing happens the eorn crop of this part ot the county will b im mense. A tew more weeks with- t frost will ripen it. Mr. John Drake, who has recently returned from a long tour east sas in no other State has he seen any crops looking better than in Ne braska. Rev. D. K. Pawgborn. tho new Presbyterian minister for this place and Humphrey, commcuccd his la bors yesterday ; he is warmly wel comed by the people upon whom he made a very favorable Impression during liis stay here in Julv. On Thursday evening a young man (who shall be nameless) went to the postofiice expecting to stop but a moment, did not hitch his horse, which was attached to a backboard ; be stop ped to talk a few minutes when on going to the door uo horso or buck board was to be seen. He tramped over four miles to his home hoping to find the horse at least there, but was disappointed, and at daybreak arose expecting to spend hours on tbe hunt; what was his surprise to see coming over the hill, the white horse, the buckboard all right, but Btrange to say a cow following on behind, the rope caught around the hub ; probably he had coaxed ber to leave home by telling her of the fine corn fields he had found. He will send that horse out alone frequently as they have a large pasturu lot which needs filling with good cows. A. ia-fcAJBfsaunv ! mma PnOVl.XJiATlOTi.

Without going into detail we state that Mr. Early during our dark national couflict serv ed his country on the battle field, aud is now serving the people of Platto county 1b the civil cflice of county treasurer. Mr. Early is pleasant and agreeable and with his thorough knowledge of the duties of his office enables him to discharge them with promptness and expiditioii which has met the approval of tbe people by electing him to a second term. The knowledge acquired by the discharge ef the duties of the county office, wonld greatly aid him in the dispatch of business in the State office. If nominated hy the State Convention, Mr. Early could be elected and would make a faithful and good treasurer. In ika imitfifiPV Off hpr UlA A..W-r.

Ho then shot himself in the abdomen. He eaunot live. In the foreign news of the 18th it is reported that the British moved trans ports Orient, Capeila, Palmyra aud Iberia, out of the harbor ; also another steamer with railway wagons, rails aud engines for Ismaila. Men and stores were landed from the Orient, and the guards, with their horses, have gnnn to sea on board the trans ports. The greatest secrecy exists in regard to their destination. The latest news from Loudon is an otllcial report from General Wolseley to the war department giving tbe de tails cf an onaenieni nt Magfair, in which he held his giouud the whole day against 10,000 Eptians. His forees numb; ring 2 000 men. Two of his officers were wounded. He cap- in his family. The recent murder of the Jorce family in Ireland was ahonible affair. TIip aid lady was over 80 years of age. and the two hoys respectively 12 and 14 years old. The oldest boy died and the other cannot live. The party who committed the horrible murder was composed of four or Ave disguis ed men. The old woman's body was partially devoured bv dogs before it was discovered. The bodies were all riddled with bullets and li(Jired as if with a hammer. A special from Ashland, Cass Co., states that the other uight five or six men broke open the door of Eii Cox's bouse and demanded the old man's monev. He allowed them where it was and told them they eould have it. They only sot $40. This amouut did not satisfy them and they tortured the old mau by burning his feet aud hands, strung him np by a rope two or three times and then beat bim fearfully to make him disclose where his money was. Two other men liv ing with Mr. Cox were prevented fiom giving bim any assistance by drawn icvolvers in the hands of tho robbers. Shortly after this occur rence Mr. Cox deposited a large sum of money in the bank. This was the money the robbers expected to get, as Tke War. The recent news from Alexandria by telegraph was to the effect that Gen. Wolseley had a slight skirmish with the enemy at Ismalia, the enemy meving up trains to Kafar el Dwar, probably intending to withdraw troops tbenee te Arabi's direction. The general nf railways was arrested for communicating with Arabi. Others will be arrested en the same chrrge. A balallion of troops is here. A regiment to-day marched to Ramlch. It was reported that Arabi will concentrate at Damanhear and lliasan entrenched camp at Tan tab whither he will remove ftis beauquar ters. Nefieh was ocenpied without op position. The enemy fled. The last transport has entered the Suez canal. Before their departure Gen.Wolsel6ey posted a proclamation, written in the Arabic tongue, that those who respected the authority of the Khedive would not be molested, hut those who resisted would be treated as rebels. The British have evacuated offices of the canal com pany. Traffic of the canal will be only temporarily suspended in order to allow the British vessels to pass. The company refused to send pilots on board of the men-of-war. The transports Grace Ludgate, Hill aud the City of New York sailed to-day. All quiet at the front. Seamen and marines of the gun-b-tts Seagull aud Masqueto, assisted by 200 Highlanders, proceeded Shaluf by way of the Marstitn? canal and found six hundred of the enemy strongly entrenched behind Statian. The English force landed and de fended them, taking -15 prisoners, a small eannon and a quantity of am munition. The loss was two High landers drowned and two setman tured tl.e din which the etiernv con-1 thev afcked him where it was. There strncted across the canal.

A few notes politically from this neck of the prairie might not be un interesting to the reader of the Jour nal, taken on the priuciple, of course, that one has to go away from home to learn the news. In the matter of tho state ticket, very little is being done in this county, although there is a great scramble to get on tho state delegation. There are two candidates for state offices in this county : E. P. Rogger, for secre tary of state, and C. C. Burr, for at torney general. The latter has no following worthy of tho name; the former is pretty certain to get a strong delegation from this county, and, in fact, from present indications, is pretty aure to carry the convention. This seems to be Rogger's )ear for politics, sure. Up to date, he is prac tically without a rival, and nobody of auy particular strength is preparing to come out against him. There is this about it, anyhow : Rugger is a tirsl-class fellow, is honest, industri ous, accommodating, and will make as good a secretary of state as Nebraska has ever had. Rogger is not the only candidate fur position on the state ticket who resides in Lincoln ; there is Alexander, for one, Willard, for another, and for that matter, Kendall Wallicks, Jones, all of whom live in this city. The three last will be re nominated most ceriainly, while Alex ander and Willard both eland some thing of a show of nomination. So far as the gubernatonal boom is con cerned in this county, Dorsey is look ed upon with favor, but Dawes is the real candidate of the county. The latter may not go into the convention with a solid delegation from this county, but he will come pretty near it. Dawes has hosts of friends in this city, not the rifT-ratt and sorehead element, bnt good solid men. He is also well liked south of here, iu John son, Pawnee and other counties. It is a quiet campaign Dawes is carrying on ; he is at home most of the time, is ildoni seen in this ciy and is never on the rampage, so to speak, for office. If gentlemanly bearing, purity in social and political life, good judg ment and rare ability, go for anything, Dawes will be the next governor. I understand that "Pap" nastings jou know him wants to be lieutenant governor. He would certainly fill the position better, and with more credit to the people, then many an other man I might mention. But the great trouble with Hastings is that he can't possibly get there. Congressional politics don't disturb us to any great extent. Of the ten fellows in tbe field in the first district, either Howe, Galey or Weaver will carry off the honors. Howe seems to be in the lead at present, but Galey claims to be able to "lay over" him in the convention. It is more than like ly, however, that the strong mau, the man who has a surety of success, is Weaver. As for the other districts, we have enough to do to look after the "bloody first" without reaching oat after loreigu galore. Lancaster. LEGAL NOTICE.
