The New York Produce Exchange resolved la6t week that Congress should not legalize the redemption of the trade dollar at par, as such leg islation would aid a ring of specula tors who have been buying the coin at bullion value. Brattleboro, Vt., and vicinity were visited one evening last week by a tornado with rain, hail, thunder and lightning. The storm was the most destructive ever known in that vicinity. Immense damage was done to crops and highways. It is claimed, and the attention of tbe treasury department has been called to the fact, that of the large number of emigrants arriving at Que bec and Montreal many of them are almost destitute, having neither money nor friends.

The State Journal will please explain further what it knows about the subject. The bank at Franklin, New York, was robbed early the other morning of $8,000 in silver. Two families near were found gagged. Th explosion which took place in blowing open the safe, carried away nearly the whole front of the building, and set fire to the papers. Postmaster General Gresham de clares that he will dismiss a postmas ter guilty of opening a newspaper as quickly as though he had opened a letter.

Ex-treasurer Thorne, of Adams county, who embezzled about $40,000 of county and state funds, has been convicted and sentenced to a year's imprisonment in the penitentiary at hard labor.

Brown for Lincoln, where she will take her place in the peniten tiary. Her twelve year old boy, Harry, manifested great sorrow and anguish at parting, while she seemed perfectly indifferent, manifesting no maternal affection for him. The storm ot last Friday was wide spread, visiting portions of Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, Iowa and Illinois. The hail and wind in places blowed down houses, uprooted trees, and in some instances killed cattle and people. The damage done by the storm is immense and impossible of estimation at present. Prof. King ascended in a balloon on tbe 4th from Monumental park Cleveland, Ohio, with A. P. Davis, of Chicago, and Rose Kennedy, of Springfield, 111., who were married in the balloon, and then made an aerial wedding trip, landing safely a few miles from the city. Archbishop Purcell died peace fully on the 5th inst. at Ursuline Convent, where be has been in re tirement since he quitted the Cathe dral residence. His body will be embalmed and taken to Cincinnati for burial at St. Martins, where his mother, brother and sister are buried. It is none of our business in par ticular what kind of clothing Presi dent Arthur wears, but as nil our readers cannot have the pleasure of seeing tbe President, they might like to know how he dresses. It is said he was wearing the other day "a light gray suit of clothes and a crimson scarf." We enter a very mild protest against the color of the scarf. Miss Leigh, known as the "English woman's good angel in Paris," ten years ago established in that city a home for friendless young women. From this has grown an orphanage, a church and parsonage, a mission hall, a young women's christian associa tion, a young men's institute, a free registry, a kindergarten, an infant school and a sanitarium. Miss Adah Parker is a girl of eighteen, who lives on a cotton plan tation of 200 acres two miles from Monroe, La. For the last four years she has had exclusive charge of the place, superintending in person all work done. No brawny son of Ceres knows better how to raise a crop or handle labor. She raises on an av erage from one-half to three-quarters of a bale to the acre. One N. K. Griggs, of Beatrice, is said to bo a candidate for supreme judge. He is totally unfit for the place, cannot be elected I He was chairman or the last state convention and made a shameful .exhibition of himself. He may be foisted on the party, but cannot be fairly nominated nor elected. There would be about 25,000 stay at borne Republicans. Trot out a better man. Central City Nonpareil. A recent report from Hotspur Spring, Col., says four commissioners and the county clerk of Grand county were all shot tbe other day by a mob of masked men. Mr. Day and Mr. Mills were instantly killed. Mr. Webber and Mr. Dean were mortally wounded. It is intimated that the troubles leading to such terrible re sults originated in questions respect ing the location of the county soat. The New York Tribune has this to say in relation to the reduction of tbe tobacco tax : The reduction tax went into effect May 1. During that month the revenue from tobacco increased $220,527 net, over the same mouth a year ago. On cigars tbe tax was re duced from $6 to $3 per thousand, but the consumption so increased that the revenue in May was $119,900 larger than in tbe corresponding month last year. The jury in the case of Mrs. Brown for the murder of Somers at Kearney Neb., brought In a verdict of man slaughter. Tbe citizens expected the verdict to be murder in the first de gree, or acquittal. Judge Savidgc, in passing sentence, said that the ac cused had been living with Somers for seven years in open violation of law, and WhJJp yet in criminal embrace had perpetrated the deed. The evidence sustained tbe verdict and more. He then sentenced her to ten years' hard labor in the peniten tiary and on the 26th day of each May to solitary confinement; also, to pay the costs of the trial. The department of justice at Wash ington has recently received further information from Jefferson, Texas, relative to tbe assassination of Judge Hough, tbe main witness of the gov ernment in the impending cases for violation of the election laws. The defendants have made threats that they will not be prosecuted by the government; that when they go into court they will go armed and killed everybody connected with it. A recent decision has been reach ed in the application of Arnold Leo against the Union Pacific railway to restrain that corporation from raising money on its bonds secured by pledge in trust of securities of other roads held by it to aid in construction and operation of-a connecting road not a part of its own lines, Judge Wheeler, of the United StateB circuit court, de cided that as the case now stands Leo does not appear entitled to a prelim inary injunction. When Harriet Martineau visited this country in 1840 6he showed that only seven vocations were open to women who wanted work. Now, ac cording to the Boston Olobe, the Massachusetts woman who wauts to provide for herself may choose from two hundred and eighty-four availa ble occupations the one best suited to her abilities. Not less than 251,158 women, not including ''amateurs" or mothers and daughters in the house hold, are earning their own living in that state. Indianapolis Journal. Prof. Vennor, in his July predic tions, has been very cautious about what he says. He ventures, however, "On the whole, July will be a very warm month, with more than average number of thunder-showers. On the 19th occurs the conjunction of Mars and Saturn, at 10:19 p. m., and on the same day Jupiter is in conjunction with Mercury. A violent storm may be expected on that and probably the following day, with intense electrical manifestations along the coast on the North Atlantic ocean." The cases in Saunders county against the O. & R. V. R. R. Co. brought by land owners alleging damages for overflow of river caused by bridges, were tried recently at Wahoo, and resulted in favor of the plaintiffs by verdicts ranging from $1,200 to $6,000. The Bee says : "It is thought the record on the cases Just closed will be permitted to stand, as great pains were taken by the court and counsel to keep the record free from error. Judge A. M. Post, who presided at the trial, exhibited great fairness and ability, and receives the highest encomiums from the cousenl on both sides." Miss Mary McCowen, the teacher selected in the Nebraska Institute for Deaf and Dumb to develope and per fect their new plan of instruction for deaf mutes, has brought the work to a triumphant issue, and the results are attracting widespread attention in education and pbilanthopic circles. The credit of a discovery which re stores children, heretofore supposed to be deaf rnuteB to society, with scarcely a noticeable defect of hearing or speech, belongs to thiB Western in stitution, and so far as persons are concerned, to no one more largely than to Miss McCowen. Woman's Journal. It is current news that W. II. B. Stout has secured the contract for building the body of the state capitol, for $439,189, when R. D. Silver put in a bid for $389,000. The public who, of course, foot all the little bills, will wonder why and wait to know how it is that $50,189 could not have been saved on that job. It is a standing joke when the legislature is about to close its labors to inquire if "Boss" Stout baa anything else he wishes looked after, but these $50,000 jobs are getting too numerous to be amus ing. While "Boss" Stout is a good natured master as any, it may be advisable to make a change, even at the risk of getting a worse one. "By the way," said a well informed Republican to the man on the corner, "I caught on to a little piece of infor mation to-day that may be interesting. Of course you know there are two or three aspirants for the judgeship of this district?" The man on the cor ner reluctantly confessed that he did. "Well, one of the more ambitious ones is at work making combinations. I heard to-day that be had fixed Colfax by arranging to silence a certain Oma ha newspaper in Its opposition to a Republican politician of this county." "But can the r. p. carry out his part of the contract?" queried the man on the corner. "Oh, that's of no conse quence, he can come as near doing it as the other party but now that the story has leaked out the candidate may discover that his own county is exceedingly doubtful. 1 tell you," continued the man of information, "the time is rapidly approaching when candidates will stand on their merits and thiB everlasting setting up of pius and trading of votes will not be so potent as in the past." Schuyler Sun. This week we incidentally discov ered another brilliant (?) monument of economy enacted by our late legis lature. We refer to the .new law which requires ninety days to elapse after a county warrant is issued be fore it can be paid. This will be a fine arrangement for the farmers who are brought in to serve the court. They can wait three months for their pay, or turn it over to the shylocks. With this law, no matter how much money may be on baud, warrants will never be at par. What a flue thing for money loaners and scalpers. Al ways a safe investment for their money. It will cost the county fifteen to twenty per cent, more than if war rants were cash, but then the tax payers can 'make up the difference and also sell their warrants at a lib eral discount. This law is also a grand thing for county treasurers who are inclined to speculate. They will always have three months notice of s)l moneys that will be required of them, apd can turn many a dollar with the people's money. We should" be at a loss to know how the legisla ture could make a law more in tbe interest of moneyed men than this one. Geneva lievieie. The funeral of Arhbiohop Purcell took place at Cincinnati, Ohio, on the 11th of July, '83, and was one of the most solemn services ever seen iu the cathedral ho built. The archbishop lay at the head of tho main aisle with the face visible to those in front. The body of the cathedral was soon filled to overflowing. Fully one hundred priests were in white, the bishop aud archbishop in purple upon either side of the main altar, while priests se lected for chanting occupied tbe main aisle. Seats on the platform were provided for tho press. Bishop Gil more delivered the eulogy. He dwelt on the labors performed by the arch bishop in tho early years of his ap pointment to the diocese of Ohio, and showed as tho results of his -labors that the fourteen priests of fifty years ago have increased to fonr hundred and eighty, sixteen churches to five hnndred, and six thousand Catholics to five hundred thousand. It was true be said, that Archbishop Purcell was aided in producing these results, but to him belonged the honor of outliv ing the great work. After tho servi ces the remains were taken to the train and sent to St. Martin's for in terment. California. Ceres, July 8, 1883. Editor Journal: Tho people of California, the wheat growers, ate in the midst of harvesting; two kinds of harvesters and threshers are in operation here and one other is being tried and perfected. There is no longer a doubt of their complete suc cess and the success will do away with all the old headers and thresh ers and give employment to an army of mechanics to fill the market for these machines for another year; the saving by these Is great, as they only use four men to run one and sixteen horses cut, thresh and sack thirty acres or so and waste less than the old thresher; the machine that is being perfected and not in market is designed for six horses and will be in reach of small farmers. Tbe crop Is turning out better than expected as we had a hot term tbe first week in June, and cooked some very much dried it up before it was filled. The towns are growing, and busi ness good ; many coming in from the east ; machinery will in a great meas ure on large farms take the place of men and tend to keep large farms at present, and people will aud do col onize on small tracts and raise fruit, vegetables, etc. Tresno county is be ing cut all up into colonies and the prospect is that Merced, when her large ditch is complete, will follow suit to some extent, at least. Tulare west of R. R. is putting down artesian wells rapidly ; if water is not plenty on top of the ground, they find it below. Cyrus Lee. Cholera. As cholera may visit -the United States this year, we submit the fol lowing remedy recommended by sev eral eminent journalists, and endorsed by the Chicago Herald, to physicians, druggists and citizens in this vicinity for investigation : Take equal parts of tincture of cayenne, tincture of opium, tincture of rhubarb, essence of pep permint and spirits of camphor. Mix well. Dose, fifteen to thirty drops in a wineglass of water, according to age and violence of the attack. Re peat every fifteen or twenty minutes until relief is obtained. If tbis remedy should be approved by our physicians, druggists aud citi zens, it should be prepared and kept on hand, for cholera is a disease that must be met promptly treated in stantly, and followed up, else the patient will die so soon that it will astonish his attendants, as the writer of this haB bad ample opportunity to witness. Then it is claimed no one who has this remedy by him and takes it in time will ever have the cholera. Even when no cholera is anticipated it is an excellent thing for the ordi nary summer complaints, colic, di arrhoea, dysentery, etc. Political Pointer. Judge Russell, of Schuyler, is to be made deputy collector under Geo. W. Post. He has all along been supposed to be a candidate for district judge. Does any body smell a mice? Cen tral City Nonpareil. The Tribune says "We have it in a sort of circuitous manner, yet direct enough, after all, that W. II. Michael, of Grand Island, is grooming himself for tbe next congressional race to succeed Valentine. A formal an nouncement to that effect would bring our coat off in a hnrry but it wouldn't help him much to have us do so." This means, we presume, that our neighbor has gone into train ing as a fighting man. If we have ever said anything disrespectful to our esteemed friend, we have great pleasure in taking it all back I Fre mont Herald. Five to four, Van Wyck against Manderson, Valentine, Weaver and Laird; and the contract awarded Miner, tho disciple of Dorsey, in the Niobrara mail route, is abrogated, aunuilcd, busted. The vigor, vim and viciousness of Van Wyck In a free light with hiB co-representative is phenomenal. He wins every time he is in incarnate veto on every scheme which Mander son and company project. He is besides being a free trader a free fighter, and the masses of tbe repub lican party in Nebraska are evidently very fond of, very proud of, and very loyal to Gen. Charles Hercules Van Wyck. Omaha Herald. One of the strongest party papers in Nebraska, the Blair Bepublican, remarks : "Van Wyck has treed his game again; followed it up like a hound, though opposed actively by a part of our congressional delegation and assailed savagely by almost the entire republican press of Northern I Nebraska, carried tne war into me enemy's country apd downed another star route sVIncJIer in the house of hid friends.

ParapK aad Wiad Mill. 34-tf Fort Niobrara to Deadwood has been annulled, and Valentine and his frienda are compelled to submit to the intense mortification or seeing their man choked off after he had the game fairly iu his mouth! Of course this bus upset the nicely laid plans ot some leading republicans; is also in opposition to time honored custom of covering up all frauds and rascality in the party camp when the money stolen from the government can be covered up and cloaked by tbe plaus ible pretext that it is all done to secure great privileges and benefits to the people. It was on this same plea ot "assisting tho settlers that Doraey and hundreds of others have robbed the government of millions. This mail route may be justified as reason able and needed for the welfare of the country it traverses, but the fact that it was let to an individual of John R. Miner's reputation and asso ciations gives strong probability to the statements of Van Wyck branding it as a fraud. It is such transactions as these that have destroyed the pres tige of the republican party. It is fashiouable to class men who have the courage to expose such rottenness within tbe party as 'assistant demo crats, frauds and cranks but the peo ple are not slow to distinguish be tween the right and the wrong and they know that Van Wyck's success in defeating all opposition can only be attributed to the fact that he had justice and right on his side, and the postal department thought it wisdom not to ignore bis claims for investiga tion. Some of our leading republi can organs are silly enough to attempt to get themselves and friends out of an awkward position by terming the action of our senior senator 'spite work. This would cast upon hia colleagues in congress the imputation that he single-handed and alone, can defiantly enter their districts, and by force of his superior talents and in fluence, out of pure malicious spite, overthrow their combined attempts to get some beneficent legislation, like this $13,000 grab, to benefit the people."
