Another band of insurgents has appeared in Caledonia and efforts are being made to capture them. Belmont Castle, near Dundee, bnrned the other night. Many valu able paintings were destroyed. Edmund Yates, who will go to jail pretty soon for libel, says there is no real refinement in the United States ontsido of Massachusetts. Edward Clark, arrested the other day in Hartford, for vagrancy, stated to the court that he had been in seventy-two jails in this country. News from Portland, Me., says the steamer "Falmouth," of the Interna tional line burned the other day, and three men were bnrned to death. "Word comes from St Johns, N. F.f that twelve men were killed and drowned on the schooner "Paquebat" the other day, caused by a collision. A gas well with extraordinary volumo has recently been struck at a depth of 1,287 feet near Wellsburg, "W. Va. It has been fired and the light can be seen for thirty miles. The fourteenth annual commence ment of the "Woman's Medical Oollego was held the other afternoon in Her shey Music Hall, Chicago. An able class of twenty-one young woman received the degree of Doctor of Medicine. Exceedingly strange events will occur in this life. Here is one of them: Isaac McLain, of Hillsboro, 111., was divorced from a handsome young wife a short time ago and mar ried her mother, Mrs. Mary Isaacs, aged sixty-six. Secretary Chandler received the other day a telegram from Commo dore S. B. Luce, stating that the 'Portsmouth" arrived at Newport 'with yellow fever on board. The disease is not serious, howevor. All patients convalescing. E. Dickinson, a rich Amherst, Mass., man, left not long ago with $4,000 in his pocket to buy cattle. The other day he telegraphed from Den ver that he has just recovered from a season of insensibility, in that city ; don't know how ho got there, and hasn't a cent left. Silvan Owen and Kate Radd were married at Lebanon, Pa., last week, he eighty, and she eighty-four. Sixty years ago they were lovers and quarreled. Forty years later, bis wife and her husband having died, they agreed to marry, but quarreled, and waited twenty years more. Fire broke out in Union Ha!J build ing, Glens Falls, N. Y., on Ihe 28th ult., and at noon was under control. Little's Opera House, the Glens Falls Opera House, the Presbyterian Church, and fifteen business bouses were totally destroyed. TK8 loss is estimated at $150,000 to $2OO0OO. John Cameron, living near Hag crstown, Md.,has eloped with the wife of John D. Ban. Cameron deserts a wife and two children, while Mrs. Ban leaves threo children behind. Cameron borrowed thousands of dol lars as preparation for his flight, and is believed to have directed his course for Chicago. On the 29th ult. the whole city or Havana was shaken by terrible con cussions. The streets were filled with frightened people who believed the city was being visited by an earthquake. It soon became known that powder magazines at San Anto nia, on the opposite side of the bay, had exploded. The houses in Havana suffered severely. HiramJallerson, livirig near Au dubon, Iowa, was taken from his bed the other night by three men and after being dragged about three hundred feet was hung to the limb of a tree. It is freely charged that his son-in-law and son had somethiug to do with the crime. If the men are caught it is probable the citizens will peform an other hanging without trial. The fatal poisoning of Mrs. Gross' child in Louisville by sweetcake has developed the fact that glucose uuder certain conditions is very poisonous. Almost ail the fancy syrups and a large percentage of cheap sugar is made of it. It is made from corn starch by dissolving it in warm water and treatiug with sulphuric acid. If the latter happens to be in excess it is dangerous to health, and may produce quick results. This is about the way the city of Chicago is kept clean: The In spector, J. It. Gormon, reported that two teams hired from one Nolan bad put in a full day's work in the Sixth Ward. A detective, who bad shadowed the outfit, inspector and all, reported that the whole day's work consisted of the emptying ot two bar rels of ashes in an alley. Health Commissioner DeWolf forthwith dis charged both teams aud Inspector Gorman. The Wtaattta 1st IVebrsul&m. There is no question bnt James G. Blaine is the favorite candidate of Nebraska republicans for the presi dency, bnt somehow the manipula tion of the conventions has not been by the men who are heart and soul for Blaine. There seems to us to be a good deal of the Grant element abont the delegation which will represent the state at Chicago. It was very easy for the politician this year, in this state, to say that he was for 'Blaine just as natural as to breathe, bat we believe a considerable number of these delegates will be ready to leave Blaine and the Blaine forces at the first opportunity that presents a plausible excuse. It Is an evident fact that there was but little to interfere with the cut-and-dried programme of the anti Blaine men at Lincoln, except the overwhelming sentiment of the state, and the gloating of the anti-Blaine organs over the defect of a resolution, not even hinting instruction, but de claring the sense of the convention to be for Blaine, is one ot the indica tions to the general public of the deep satisfaction of the anti-Blaine ele ment as to the choice of delegates. The Lincoln Journal has this to say : "The wire edge was off the Blaine "boom in this state before the con tention assembled ; it ran down at "the heel with considerable rapidity "as the talk went on iu the hotelB and "street corners along through the "forenoon, but it suffered a regular "horizontal reduction that would "have delighted the aesthetic eye of "Bill Morrison himself, shortly after "the introduction of the unfortunate "resolution at the wind up, declaring "the preference of the convention for "the nomination of Mr. Blaine for "President." No doubt but in this particular case, "the wish is father to the thought." It is not "unfortunate" that men should wish to express their preference; it is not "unfortunate" that republicans, who know the state is enthusiastic for Blaine, should wish to say that the sense of the state is for Blaine, but it is unfortunate that the Blaine forces were not thoroughly organized, that they had no agreed plan, no programme, and, in short, that they have allowed themselves to be (as we believe) out-generaled by the Arthur-Grant forces. There is no disputing the fact that Nebraska is now stronger for Blaine than ever before, because he has not lost any of his old friends, and he has gained a host of new ones, who see in him now the progressive spirit of re publicanism, which would give the country an administration gratifying alike to the pride of patriotism, and the ambition of the party; a spirit which wonld revivify our foreign commerce, enliven onr business and political relations with the other na tions of the earth, nnify and solidify the elements of our land, and mark an epoch in our history that would be memorable for all time. If, however, the juggling of poli ticians is to again defeat the nomina tion of Blaine, and it must be once again deferred, let our delegates con sider long before selecting any other than that other independent, fearless, outspoken, representative American citizen from a different field of re nown, Geueral W. T. Sherman, who, with Lincoln, would certainly make a ticket satisfactory to the great body of republicans who cannot have Blaine and Lincoln. Kenmsslicasa Slate CaTeatlea. The delegates met iu the ball of the house of representatives, at Lincoln, on the evening of the 30th nit., and were called to order by Geo. W. E. Dorsey, chairman of the state central committee. Jndge Reavis nominated Congress man Valentine, and Hon. G. M. Lambertson nominated Hon. L. W. Gilchrist of Saunders, as temporary chairman. Valentine was elected, by a cote of 201 to 1G3. Ray Nye, of Dodge, was selected sec'y, with J. W. Cox of Cass, assistant. The central committee made a re port upon credentials which was adopted. The list is too lengthy for publicatiou here the convention being full. Platte county was rep resented by M. -Whitmoyer, E. A. Hoar, E. B. Hall, J. W. Early, W. A. McAllister, G. W. Clark, G. F. Clark. The delegation from Gage county, headed by Mr. Townsend and sup ported by Col. Colby, was admitted as against the Holmes delegation. As delegates to Chicago, Jno. M. Thurston of Omaha was nominated and elected by acclamation; also N. S. Harwood of Lancaster. As a third delegate, Jno. Jeuson of Fill more was selected as against Peter Jansen of Jefferson, Louis A. Kent of Kearney, J. W. Small of Clay, and G. A. Derby of Seward. George A. Brooks of Knox county, and T. 8. Clarkson of Colfax, were the contestants for the fourth place. Mr. Brooks was selected. As alternates, Peter Jansen of Jef ferson, L. W. Gilchrist, E. M. Sten berb of Douglas, and A. G. Scott of Buffalo, was selected. The committee on resolutions, viz G. W. Post of York, J. B. Barnes of Dixon, Ishatn Revis of Richardson, J. A. McMurphy of Colfax, and A. L. Wright of Adams, reported the following: The republican party or Nebraska, in convention represented, reviews Its alle giance to the principles and policy that Have commended republicaaism to the popular intelligence of the country, and kecuredits success in six successive na tional elections, aad declares its confi dence that they will command at the polls under the standard bearers to be named at the Chicago convention a victory as signal as any that have been gained in the past. It declares'for the collection of the na tional revenues by the taxation of pro ducts at home that are but luxuries, the enjoyment or consumption of which are not essential to the welfare of the masses, and by the levy' of a tariff so adjusted to encourage and protect home industry, without being burdensome to the people, and denounces the attempt of the dem ocratic majority in the house of repre sentatives to make an indiscriminate j. dufition of duties to the injury of skilled labor and invested capital at home for ihe bfaslt of labor and capital that pay tribute to foreign powers. It favors the encouragement of immigration, the re duction of the public debt and interest charges and appropriation of a portion of surplus revenues to judicious internal improvements, the improvement of the service of the government In, all depart ments by regulating the method of ap E ointments so as to bring it to the ighest possible state of integrity and .efficiency, the maintenance of equal rights to all citizens, irrespective of race or color under the guarantees of the con stitution, a liberal provision for disabled and invalid veterans of the war for the union and the establishment of our navy upon a footing commensurate with the necessities of the times and the dignity of a nation ready to defend its rights and protect its citizens at home and abroad, that we urge upon our senators and rep resentatives in congress the necessity of securing Buch national legislation as will insure to the producer the largest pos sible fruit of his labor, equitably har monizing all conflicting interests and to settle the various questions relative to common carriers. Hesolved, That this convention re quests the coming republican national convention to provide that in all future national conventions, representation shall be proportionate to the republican votes cast for President in the last pre ceding presidential election. We heartily endorse the administra tion of President Chester A. Arthur, be gun under circumstances of peculiar em barrassment aud difficulty, but which has by its prudence, sagacity and statesman ship commended itself to the respect and esteem of the country. The resolution of Parrish, of Burt, expressive of a preference for Blaine, was tabled by a vote of 220 to 207 . CeBTeatloa Third District.

Committee on resolutions reported the followiug, which was adopted unanimously without debate : The republicaus of the Third con gressional district of Nebraska iu convention assembled, do hereby re solve : 1st. That we believe in an honest and economical administration of the government. 2nd. That we are in favor of a legit imate and common sense method of civil service reiorm. 3d. That we believe that repre sentation to the national convention should hereafter be based on the re publican votes of the state repre sented. 4th. That the administration of President Arthur has been a wise, safe and truly republican one, doing justice to all within the party, and teuding to heal differences and fac tional quarrels, and that we heartily approve and endorse tho same. 5th. That the success ot the repub lican party is nece39ary to the weltare and progress of the country, aud it should receive the vote of all those who have ever supported republicau principles in the past. It m the-party of live principles and practical acts for the benefit ot the masses, aud its deeds form its best platform. Motion was made aud seconded that we eelcct a ucw congressional central committee. Moved and seconded that motion be laid on the table. Carried. Adjourned. In this department the people talk, and not the editor. Each writer must hold himself ready to defend his principles and his statements of facts, "iu the mul titude of counsel there is wisdom." Ed. Joukxai.. A Farmer's lotting;. I am trying a new way of plowing. At least new to me. The ordinary narrow lands make too many middle furrows, aud too much waste time turning at the ends. Have tried plowing around the field, but the hard tramping of a strip at each corner is quite objectionable. This spring we commenced in tho center of the fields, working out, and are much pleased with the experiment. We have all the advantages of plow ing around a field, aud none of the disadvautages. A farmer accustomed to measure by tho step can find the middle of the field from the sides, aud the proper distance from the cuds, for the ends of the first furrow, without trouble. Should the finish ing not come out exact, it would only necessitate going around or back fur rowing a narrow laud on one or more sides. The advantage of this plan over plowing in lands, I consider very great. If we plow in narrow lands, so many middio furrows are objectionable. If in wide lands we must either waste much time iu going around at the euds, or plow across the ends, tho team turniug on tho plowed grouud. The difference between the amount a man and team cau do, by going around solid work, and by plowing in lands, is much greater than oue would think; who has not given the matter much at tention. By the way, what a splendid coun try this is to plow in. Such mag nificent fields, and no obstructions, aud I never tire of watching tho dark, rich, mellow soil, as it rolls from the plow share. I am sure there can be uo more enjoyable work thau following the plow on these Nebraska farms. How 1 pity the man who has to spend these spring days behind the counter, or over his desk, or in his office, waiting for somebody to get into trouble, that ho may help him out. I wonder if many farmers have had their patience tried by tree agents as I have. It seems to me, for tho most part, they are a terrible -nuisance. I was persuaded again, agaiust my judgment, last year to give an order, and I am satisfied the entire stock received is not worth as many cents as the bill amouuted to in dollars. I do not want to do any ad vertising for our townsman, John Tannahill, but I find I can get both seeds and nursery stock, at less prices, from him than from theso foreigners, and know I am getting what I order every time. Besides that, he is safe, he will not talk a man to death. I believo the discouragement in regard to raising fruit, felt by many farjners, is as much owing to unreliable tree peddlers, as anything else. The day of plenty of home fruit is surely coming to us, but we must have good stock to commence with, and then handle it with more knowledge and care. J. H. R. The Unworthy Poor. Flash Pa pers aad Paupers. Mr. Editou: An article, "Flash papers and Dime Novels," iu No. 72G of the Jouhn'AL, and the proceedings of our honorable board of supervi sors, have caused me to stop and think. The piece named first, shows conclusively how destructive such trashy 6tufi" is to our rising genera tion, and it should ouly have goue a step further to show eveu how much worse it is in its destructive tenden cies upon the minds and whole beiug of our wives and mothers. No one can be more willing, that the deserving poor in our midst should be taken care of than your present writer. He would even go a little farther and say that they ought to bo sought out, and inquiries made as to their necessities. The most deserving and needy ones are often too modest to make their wants known. But, when an able bodied man, drawing a pension, living with an able bodied wife, and a nnmber of children, able to earn bread aud cIothe3, throw themselves upon the connty or township for food, clothing or house rent, then something most be rotten so'mewhere, and when the writer happens-to know that some paupers have money and time to read Ahir trash Hire the Nnw York Ledger, the Freside Companion, and 1 Av ,s N .JkN, . ..?

Onr kind-hearted su pervisors ought to inquire into such causes of poverty. Let a woman--a wife and mother, spend her time reading trash, filling her head with foolish notions of love affairs, instead of washing and mending the clothes of her family, darn their stockings, or knit them, and cook their food, aud no one need to wonder if poverty and want enters her house, aud hard working tax-payers have to fork over. The writer has had some littlo ex perience iu the management of a pocr-houso in the East. No pauper family was admitted iuto that insti tution, as n whole. They were sep arated at once. The mau was put into the male department, the woman iuto that of tho females, and the chil dren into the children's room. Moual : A man who is not wil ling and able to support a wife, is not worthy of one, nor of the blessing of children, and the negligent, novel reading woman who will uot or can not take care of a family, ought to be separated from them. All paupers able to work ought to be made to do so. That would give our board a chance to use the poor funds for the worthy poor. Benedictus. Iflalciae Crime Odioaf. Cincinnati's criminal court is deal ing out a very fair article of justice just now. Highway robbers get from ten to twenty years in tho peniten tiary ; common burglars from seven to ten years ; sneak thieves about five years and horse thieves fifteen years. The reason is plain. Decent men, aroused by the recent riot to the im portanco of performing their public duties, are now seen in the jury box occasionally, aud when the evidence against a prisoner is found to bo con clusive he is 6et down as guilty with out qualification. It is to be tearcd that this spasm will not be long lived, but so long as -it lasts Cincinnati is bound to be an unhealthy locality for criminals. The offenders now in jail charged with capital and otbor crimes are certain to discovor that the law is still in existence, though they may havo had doubts on that point when their offenses were committed. If the administration of justice falls again into the corrupt courses which characterized it previous to the recent uprising it will bo the fault of the cit izens themselves. Chicago Herald.
