Lawrence, who recently made a trip to Illinois, says that Ne braska is far ahead of that state this year, ia the way of crops. The secret, after all, of carrying an election in Platte county for Re publicans, is for every Republican to be at the polls and deposit his ballot. A good deal of work is necessary to be done by Republicans of Platte county, if thoy expect to be success ful at the polls on the 3d of Novem ber. stock in town.

She happened to be good enough for beef, or the accident would have been considerable loss to him. When he returned for his cow, the bridge had been repaired. He says that the bridge at Mattis's has a hole in the floor big enough to break a horse's leg. While John Walker was digging a well for one of his tenants on Sec. 29, T. 20, 1 w. in the valley of Shell creek, at the depth of 51 feet he struck a log imbedded in the earth. He thinks the bark he leaves us is of the cedar species. The water lay immediately under it, and a tough blue clay over it. Fifty-one feet of made-earth, shows the depth of Ne braska soil at that particular place, and it has been demonstrated by ex periment that the soil from that depth is as rich as it is at the surface. We see by the Kalamazoo corres pondence of the Norfolk News that Miss Carrie Lawson (formerly of this city) recently had a narrow escape from death or injury : she was with Geo. Churchill ; "they had two young colts hitched to a chaise, and were just starting out for a ride when the horses became scared and started to run, headed for a row of large willow trees just -oast of L. Jenkins'. Mr. Churchill could neither turn nor hold them and they dashed into the trees, breaking the neck-yoke in two and the tongue in four pieces, throwing Mr. Churchill and Carrie over the front of the chaise under the horses feet. One of the horses stepped over Carrie's head, but as soon as they could she and Mr. C. got up, without oven a scratch." Mr. John A. McConnell, editor of the Charleston (Ills.) Plaindealer, and Miss Martha A. Kennedy, of this place, were married, on Wednesday, at the residence of the bride's sister, Miss Caroline Kennedy, at noon, this week, the ceremony being conducted by Rev. Geo. B. Smith, pastor of the M. E. Church, assisted by Rev. Dr. Drummond. The ceremony was wit nessed by a pleasant party of some thirty or forty guests. The bride was the recipient of many handsome and valuable presents, and the occasion was one long to be remembered by those who shared in its enjoyments. The only regret in the matter is that by this marriage Cadiz loses another of its best girls. Her presence.wlll be missed, but she will be followed to her new home in the west by the best wishes of a host of friends. We con gratulate our friend McCpnnelPon his - excellent judgment in coming back to bis native town of Cadiz to get a wife, and we extend our wishes to both that they may live long and prosper. . , - Mr. and lire.

Fitly Yoawa. Wedaesday eveaiag hut the fiftieth aaaiversary of the marriage of tit. aad Mrs. W. A. Clark took place at their residence ia this city. The cer emony was admirably conducted by Esquire Capt. Hammond, .Henry Woods and Mrs. Roscoe standing up with the happy coaple. A splendid sapper had been pro vided by Henry Woods, and very nicely prepared by his wife (daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Clark) and was serv ed at their residence. . Everything was done that could have been fore seen to contribute to the pleasure of the occasion. . Oae of Mrs. Clark's brothers cele brated his golden wedding three years ago a pretty good record, two oat of five children. Ho hae lived all this time, in the some hoase ia which he was married, and never been seventy-five miles away, while Mrs. Clark ia that time has lived in seven different states of the Union, besides Canada and New Brunswick, and in 114 different hoasos. We appead the Hot of presents which were numeroae aadyalaable: Mr. aad Mrs. Cart Kraiaer, aapkia rings ; Mr. aad Mrs. J. M.McFerlaad, table spread; Mesdamos Mallen and Sullivan, silver castor; Meears. Beck er aad Taylor, gsisMiaod berry, spoon; Mr. and Mrs. Brodfaehrer, silver pickle' caster; Mr. and Mrs. Roscoe, $5 gold piece ; Mr. aad Mrs. Gatward, $5 gold piece; Mrs. R. H.

Henry Woods, set silver gold -lined tea spoons; $20 gold bearing certificate, club; $24 base-burner stove, club; $18 reclining chair, club; handsome fur-lined cloak, club; silver t caster, olub'; John Tannahill, handsome boqaets. We learn that this was the first goldea wedding ever celebrated in Platte county. It is a long road that has no turn, and Platte coontv, on a close inspec tion, doa't seem to have been rnn in the past on the principle of economy, or even leaning- toward "reform." The people are beginning a little now to investigate the affaire of the county and inquire into the subject of taxa tion and' how the taxes are being ex pended.' We think it will make' a dark picture when all is developed. The management of conaty affaire has so far been in the handhof demo crats, who are so anxious generally to obtain the spoils of office that it ia a wonder more strains of construction have not been placed upon the laws to obtain fees. It is time now to iatrodaee into tho- pwMie caofSjSt Platte county a little economy ''ami reform. Every honest citizen, every intelligent man who has to pay taxes, favors a strict compliance with law, and if democrats find that they can not secure this through democratic incumbents, they should cheerfully unite and place some republicans in office who are known to be in favor of economy and who will practically carry it our. Men wno remain in office a long time are apt to become careless of the people's money, and. as a general role, lose all interest in matters of economy, feeling more in salaries and fees. Jncredible as it may seem, there are citizens of the county who think that R. H. Henry draws a salary from the county treasury, as president of the Driving Park and Fair Associa tion, and that it is quite a good thing, financially speaking. On page 46 of the compiled statutes, section 16, will be found this paragraph: "When ever any county agricultural society, organized by law, shall have procured in fee simple, free from encumbrance, land for fair grounds not less than ten acres in extent, the county board of said county may, in their discre tion, if the finances of the county will admit, appropriate and pay to such society a sum not exceeding one hun dred dollars for every thousand in habitants in said county, to be ex pended by such society in fitting op such fair grounds, but for no other purpose; but not more than one thousand dollars shall in the aggre gate bo appropriated in any one county." There is probably no need for anything further to say. The above law is plain enough, and the money is paid to the society, through the president, for the purpose of aiding the society to fit up the fair grounds. The amount paid this year was something over $300, we believe, and Platte conaty has fair grounds and fairs that she has no reason to be ashamed of. S. Guynne, superintendent of the Nebraska Telephone Company, called at this office on Tuesday. They are engaged in erecting a line between Fremont and Columbus, and if de sired, they will put in an exchange at North Bend. He informed us that they were setting four miles of poles per day, and that the line to Colum bus would be completed hmde of two weeks. The line will be the best in the state as they are using copper wire instead of the iron wire usually used on tho lines, and the superin tendent is accompanying the force to see that everything is -done in the very beat manner. After the line is constructed. to Columbus they will put ia the town exchanges. Superin tendent Guynne says that they will put in an exenange ii iney get as many as eight or ten subscribers, which we are assured they will cer tainly obtain. We hail the telephone as connecting us with the outside world 'in a meaner that no other ia dtatioa could do, and we are very anaoh pleased that it is at our doors.

It was a plain, straight-forward story, giving interesting incidents in the history of tho institution, now in operation sev eral years. If all the generous hearted people of the state could know what a field for usefulness this insti tution nas opened, and how good a work it is doing, if they could have beaf Mrs. Slaughter's earnest state ments of Sunday evening, we are ureftbere would, be such a donation for one institution as would gladden the kearta of its inmates. There de serted babes are cared for there are twenty such in the institution ; home lessor neglected children ; outcasts ; deserted and helpless wives, and the ageL"weak and forsaken by relatives. We jpaow, from lady friends in Lin cdlnlhat the Home, under the effec tiveaoperintendency of Mrs. Slaugh ter, ia all that its name implies. To the ladles who, by state and county organisation, manage the affairs of the borne, it is a labor of love and devotion, and all of us can recognize it as one more illustration of that "poire and nndefiled religion," which Visits tho fatherless and widows ia thetit 'affliction. Tliere are a goodly number of im poaat features about the Home that are Uttle known in the state, among whtth are that help may be contribu ted In the form of money, provisions or ctothing, and that the express com panies make no charge for the trans pbrfetioa of such donations. Mrs. S. related how Central City had sent tbais word that they would furnish a comitate Thanksgiving dinner for the Home, and described the joyous way ia ahich it was received by the 1n m&tsjs. The turkey, the chickens, the pudding, the cranberry Bauce, every thing, complete for a Thanksgiving dinaor as good as anybody's mades them very thankful, and when she tol them that their, to them un known, friends, no doubt felt even taiwarthna taoy. did fjaoseaee Jt wae really "more blessed to give than re ceive), they said, "they must feel very much delighted, then.' Several schools have contributed potatoes by allowing pupils to bring one or more potatoes each as a dona tion. From Tekamah they had sev eral large boxes of snpplios sent them in pound package?, collected at a sociable given for the purpose pounds of sugar, soap, tea, coffee, etc., etc. A society was organized here, of which we shall soon have more to say .

Compton's numerous friends and acquaintances in this neighborhood will be glad to read that he escaped injury : "On last Friday night as a freight train on the F. E. & M. V. railway was coming west, the engineer noticed that a bridge across a little run be tween Rock Creek and Wisner was on fire. He at once reversed his en gine and told bis fireman, Charlie Compton, to jump, at the same time taking a flying leap into the darkness. Charlie escaped unhurt, but the en gineer was leas lucky, having his shoulder dislocated. When the en gine struck the bridge it went through and nine freight cars, were piled up on top of it, all being consumed by the flames. In one car were a span of mules aud some cattle belonging to some emigrants who were on the train, and it is supposed that one of them was in the car with the stock at the time of the accident, and that he was killed in the wreck and bis body burned up by the fire. A temporary, track was laid around the wreck and trains were running as usual in the afternoon." r Best 1st the World. uuuuiwsiiiiy ioru ourcu nas oeen brought tc the highest attainable quality by employing the best skill Land scientific aid that money can fur nish.
