' Judge Pound last week gave his : decision on the county seat .contest, declaring Alma the county seat of "Harlan -county, Neb. ,. Jx a recent interview Senator Man- deraon says that his colleague Senator .Van "Wyck is "active, aggressive and .always on tne alert." A conversation was had the other morning with New York from the .Stock Yards at Chicago by means of the molecular telephone. Kenner, James Harper and son .have been arrested for the murder of Barney Doyle and daughter at West Union, W.

Ben Butler's investigation of the Alms House at Tewkesburg, Mass., .has developed it as being a house of cruelty, merchandise in dead bodies 'end murder. There was a severe wind, rain and hail storm in Central and Southwest ern Arkansas Thursday night of last week, doing considerable damage to buildings, fences and trees. .Thomas Waldron was recently tried at Buffalo, N. Y., and found guilty of an attempt to outrage a little girl six and a half years old, and sen tenced five years in Auburn prison. The board of aldermen of New York out of respect to the memory of Pefer Cooper requested that citi zens close their places the day of the funeral, and that shipmasters half mast their flags. Rhode Island at the recent election goes republican, electing Bourne, the Republican candidate for Governor by nearly 3,000 plurality over Sprague. The assembly shows 84 republicans out of 108 members. We are under obligations to Sena tor Yan Wyck for a compendium of the tenth U. S. censuB. There are many items of Interest in the work which is one of the public documents valuable for reference. The king of the Sandwich Islands has made application to our govern ment for permission to use one of the United States mint to coin money for his kingdom. It would be nice and neighborly to comply with his re quest. The president has appointed A. W. Sheldon, of Maryland, associate jus tice of the supreme court of the Ter ritory of Arizona, vice W. W. Hoover, suspended ; and S. E. Snyder, agent of the Indians at Ft. Peck agency, Montana. Last week Col. James L. Corley, a prominent citizen of Norfolk, Va., asd-dnring the war Gen. Lee's quar termaster general of the army of i Northern Virginia, committed suicide at the hotel in Hampton, by cutting his-tbroat. Gov. Dawes has issued his procla mation fixing Wednesday, April 18, '83, tff be observed as "Arbor Day." Doubtless our citizens, having a deep interest in timber culture will cheer- folly respond, and place in Nebraska's rich 6oiI millions of trees. The interest in the nitroglycerine discoveries continues to grow,and the excitement is intense in London. The newspapers are making the most of their opportunity, and selling fre quent editions with such headings as A Plot to Blow up London." Barney Doyle and daughter,' of West Union, Va., were murdered the other night by robbers. It was known they kept money in the house. The' second daughter was beaten with a poker and left for dead, bnt she re vived and told the story of the crime. Peter CoorER, of New York, the great philanthropist and one among the beet of American citizens, quietly and peacefully passed to his long home at 3:30 on the morning of the 4tb of April, inst, aged 93. The im mediate cause of his death was pneu monia. It is claimed by persons who are wWl'acqaainted with the subject that under the postal law, reducing letter postage and regulation of the pay of pastmasters, the receipts of one office in every four on the general 'average will b in excess of the postmasters' Miarjei, The great libel suit of the Hites against the Lovisville CouritT'Jour nal for allegations touching Mrs. Hite's relations with the late Jesse James, was concluded one evening last week, the jury finding for the defendant. The other morning a frame house in Allegheny City, owned and occu pied by Edward Graham, was de stroyed by fire. Two twin boys, aged fifteen months, children of David Faulkner, who lived in two rooms, were cremated. It is reported at Victoria, B. C, that extensive gold and silver depos its have been discovered at the north ern end of Vancouver's Island, also that an English and Scotch colony are coming out to settle on the Queen Charlotte Islands. The state supreme court has deci ded that "Repeated acts of removal of government section corner stones by a county surveyor, under a claim of right so to do for the purpose rectify ing the original government survey, amount to wilful maladministration in office." Our soldiers in Nebraska should be on their guard to receive a man d rest ed in soldier's uniform, who has about got through swindling soldiers in Iowa, by receiving fees on the pre tense of being an agent of the pension bureau, with authority to secure jfor them an increase, in their pensions. -President Arthur has appointed Judge Gresham, of Indiana, Postmas ter General and he has accepted the appointment. First assistant post master general Hatton has been des ignated by the President to act as post master general for the period of ten days, until the arrival of Gresham. Bobbin P. Dunn, of Bloomington, 111., a rather hard citizen, attempted the other day to kill his family. He first shot and wounded his wife. Then he fired and missed his son, a young man, and then attacked his daughter with a knife, but was over powered by the son before any injury could be done. Last week Ingram and Green, two of the murderers of Millett, at Hast ings, were taken from the sheriff by a vigilance committee composed of thirty-five masked men, and hurried to the bridge on the St. Joe & West ern railroad, one mile north of town, and hanged. Babcock was reserved for trial because he was the first to confess. Mary Ann Dooley of Chicago waB arrested the other day on her arrival in New York at the central depot, charged with murdering her mother by poison. Her mother was supposed to be worth $200,000, and, previous to her death, had opposed the daughter's marriage with a certain young man, and this is supposed to be the motive on the part of the daughter to take her life. Witnesses testified the other day before a Massachusetts legislative committee that the Tewksbnry almB house authorities 6old dead bodies to the Harvard medical school; that some corpses were pickled and sent to Boston in pork barrels, and that funeral services had been held over coffins filled with wood. The inves tigation was brought about by Gov. Butler, who made the charges, and he was present in the role of prosecutor. A singular fact was noticed the other night in Chicago. At a certain hour all who had occasion to UBe the telephone found it vibrating to mu sical tones. Private and public tele phones alike were affected, and even those of the police and fire alarm instruments. The music was subse quently explained by a telegraph wire from the stock yards, passing near the telephone wires, oonnected with the harmonic system, and that tunes were being played over it, and that the telephone wires took up the sounds by induction. Advices of a recent date from Col ombo, the capital city of the Island of Ceylon report vicious riots having occurred between Buddhists and Catholics, the CatholicB seriously ob jecting to the religious processions of Buddhists, in which was carried a crucifix surmounted by a monkey. This latter combination, which the Papists held to be an insult to the Catholic religion, brought about a violent contest in the streets, which was only stopped by the vigorous efforts of troops who dispersed the rioters and restored peace without bloodshed The remains of Miss Amelia Church, the young lady who disap peared from Norfolk about December the 29tb. were found about five miles from Stanton, Neb., one day last week. Three letters were found on her person one of them to her father, in which she stated that she was on her way to Ogdenaburg, N. Y., and for him to meet her. She said she was hungry and cold. It is stated she was laboring under a fit of insan ity before she left Norfolk. About $28 was found scattered near her. Her remains had been buried under a snow bank. A portion of her body was eaten by wolves. C. M. Millett, a grocer in Hast ings, while passing to his home the other night was halted by three men and commanded to hold up his hands. He at once told them to help them selves to what they could find on his person, and was informed they want ed him and not his money, and com manded him to march on, with one of the men in front and two in the rear. They marched him in the direction of bis own home and just as he passed his next neighbor's lot, he saw bis gate open, through which he sprang and started at full speed for the house. One of the party opened fire at him with a revolver, the ball striking him in the back, ranging upward and for ward through the lungs, and is sup posed to have lodged in the stomach. Mr. Millett has since died, and a short paragraph in another place trivea sub i sequent proceedings. The Mormon re-union.hold at Eirt land, Ohio, on the 5th inst., was some what interfered with on account of the bad weather, but religious services were held and a fair number attend ed. Rev. Joseph Smith, jr., president of the. re-organized church of Latter Day Sainta was present and spoke. He gave a brief outline of the purpose of the re-uuion, the condition of the church, the outlook for the future, &c. Rev. Gurley made an address. Speak ing of the Utah Mormons, he said they were dissenters from the original church. He said they had practised the meanest things that ever disgraced the world. He said polygamy was a curse as black as Egyptian darkness. The ElecttoBS Kearney was excited, and elected A. L. Webb as mayor. Plattsmonth elected Geo. Smith for mayor by 250 majority. Fremont elected John C. Clelland, republican, for mayor, over W. H. Munger. Lincoln elected a republican ticket by 500 majority. Cleveland, O., elected a democratic mayor 4000 majority. Cincinnati democrat! elected a mayor. Kansas City elected a democratic mayor. Denver elected ex-Gov. Routt as mayor with the whole republican ticket except perhaps attorney. Omaha elected Chase, mayor ; Buck, treasurer; Beneke, police judge, and Kaufman, Red field, Hascall, Murphy and Woodworth, councilmen. CHtjr AAair. Ed." Journal : The County Alli ance at a meeting held at Platte Cen ter the 17th of March, adopted the following resolutions : Resolved, That we, the County Alli-ance-of Platte county do respectfully ask the Honorable Board of County Commissioners to more fully explain tbrongh the county papers the purpo ses of the seventy-one thousand dol lars levied for county purposes or expenses. I am inclined to think the County Commissioners will pay no attention to this important resolution, for the reason that there is no such levy made. The Alliance Is a' little mixed up; they have got the January estimate of expenses twisted into a levy of taxes, when the levy cannot be made till June of each year, and then the com missioners will cut under the estimate all that they judiciously can. The next resolution is more to the purpose, and seems to do away with the first. It reads : Resolved, That we as a County Alli ance will take steps to ascertain where and how our county funds are ex pended. I hope, for the general edification that the second resolution will be car ried into effect, provided they publish the result of their investigation. There has been a groat amount of random talk, mixed with some fact, in refer ence to the use and expenditure of the county funds. It is a matter that should be looked into, aud the people HbUUia tie in Turin od in oil ouvU cuuuiy business affairs; thoy should be better understood by the voters and tax payers, and suggestions made for the help and benefit of the commissioners when it -can be done in a proper and unselfish spirit, in place of finding fault about business that we know so little about, simply for the want of investigation and study in such mat ters. The commissioners hold the most important office in the county, for the reason that they have the most responsibility. They have the over seeing of the county finances, the dis bursements of all fonds, the care of all property, the overseeing of all county offices, to a great extent, and are held to account for all miss-cues or diffi culties that may arise in the County machinery, and get the leaBt sympathy from the people for their labor and pains. Below I have made a table of the county expenditures by guess as it occurs to me to.be somewhere in the neighborhood of the yearly disburse ment of county funds. Some items are, I think too high, while others are perhaps low. In the clerk's fees we include the expense of making tax list, and postage used in the office. In the treasurer's fees I include the pay of deputies, stationery and postage. Court expenses includes juries and witnesses. Sheriffs fees includes turnkey and board of prisoners, and bonds includes interest and five per cent, of principal. Twenty-five per cent, of levy not drawn. Clerk and deputies, &c, average.. f 2,000 Treasurer, deputies, Ac, average . . 3,000 Commissioners, average 1,000 Sheriff, deputies, &c 2,500 Assessors 1,500 Road Supervisors 1,200 Coroner and attendants 400 Com. Insanity and attendants 100 ClerkofCourt 400 District Court expenses 3,000 CountyPoor 1,500 Roads and Bridges 0,000 Delinquent Tax 15,000 Bonds and Interest 15,000 Election Expenses 300 County Matters at Court 200 County Attorney 250 County Superintendent 500 We would suggest to the Alliance, that they appoint one of their best men to sit once a month at the com missioners meetings, and with them at their annual settlement for the pur pose of learning where the money goes, and report his observations to the public through the county papers. He can also take in the board of equalization, and seo who pays the taxes. The records of the county are accessible, and such information would be of great benefit to all. There are a great many who would be will ing to be taxed for money to be used for the purpose of diseminating such knowledge. X. Ed. Journal: In your issue of March 28th I notice two items, which in my humble opinion is not either beneficial or proper for the lovers of pomona's rare products among your many readers. 1st I refer to that new method of grafting the grape vine (by whip grafting) by which even a whole vine yard ot inferior fruit ean be easily and 1 quickly changod to better varieties, ? . , ,. ,..,., ., Now we cheerfully admit, that the grapevine can be grafted, but whether 7, . . j i. it is a process to bo commended is a question to which we demur, although .. , , as you say, so particularly recom- mended by the American Agriculture ist.

The advice on account of cheap ness to buy root-grafts in preferenct to trees, is at least injudicious from the fact that forty-nine out of ever) fifty of your readers would certainlj fail In raising them to sufficient size t plant in orchard. And we do saj moBt emphatically, with twelve yean experience in Nebraska, that if wt wanted our orchard to be a success, we would gladly pay twenty-five cents each for good, nice, thrifty, and clean four year old trees, than to plant any other age as a gift Our windy and severe climate, with its occasional severe dryness, demands it. I have quit the nursery business and have no axe to grind, but I assure your read ers they had far better pay a good price for a good article of sufficient age than to take a good deal of the trash that is bought as a gift.
