[ IMMyHi i : : : * * * . ' < ! \ ' I the Conservative. of the sheriff. I paw him this morning. j | They brought him up to the blacltsmith [ f shop to have irons fixed about his hands Mrs. Cuming and I were look ing out of the window and saw him handcuffed and shackled it was awful. I pitied him ; but he is a wicked man , and has said , in our presence , that he killed a man in California. He tries to make out it was an accident , but I do not doubt his guilt. He hated George Hollister , and we have heard him say he would do something dreadful , but always doubted his veracity , and con sidered those sayings mere brags. Would yon , if you were us , ever live there again and in that house ? I could not , and S g would not have me. It was so fortunate we were up here it was mere luck , too , as we expected to return the next day , but S g's ill ness detained us. I said on another page I would not write a word about it I have done it unconsciously. I was so rejoiced S g was out of it. He has been helping them survey , and if he had been there probably might have been again he would have occupied the same position George hades he is one of the company. Dr. Butterfield jumped , or took , a claim belonging to our friend , Mr. Gilmore - more , of Chicago , another member , so that S g would undoubtedly have advocated his cause. When I think of it , and that S g's life was prolonged , perhaps , by a more change of circum stances , it overpowers me my cheeks burn and the big tears stand in my eyes and roll down my cheeks , until I am obliged to give up , and lie downaud , try to forget myself in sleep. My dear sister , I did not intend , when I sat down to write , to trouble you , nor to fill up my letter with a men tion of this sad affair ; but I so far forgot myself that two pages are nearly filled with it. Adieu to that subject. I will send you all the accounts and S g's paper. I am very glad you like your school so much ; your teachers must be very kind , or you could not feel so happy. I would graduate , if I were you. I would consider it a pleasure in such a school. I hope , though , it wont interfere with any of my arrangements for the summer. I hope to be with you , and have.you with mo all the time I am at homo , and any where else , away from Nebraska , and , when you leave school , I hope you will spend half the time , if Mother will consent , with us. We often say , how we wish Emma was with us , and , if possible , would bring her back to spend next winter ; but , if you graduate , I suppose that will be impossible. I have lots to tell you. We have written you several times and , not until within a month , have we received any letters from you , but , within this time , our hearts have been made glad many times. I can hardly realize I have such a dear sister. I have the best husband that ever was , and , of course , the best sister. We have been very uncomfortably situa ted this winter , but , for all that , have been happier than if we had lived in a palace. S g is going to build , if possible , this summer , and , I hope , an- THE S CONTINENTAL NATIONAL BANK , CHICAGO.

Love to Libby Whitconib. I will write oftener now. I have had boarders , and have done all my own work since last February. I have not written as often as I should have done , Emma , but I have been so busy that I have not written homo , either , as I should have done. You ask ' - when S g will bo at home. It is entirely uncertain ; sometimes he sets one time , at others , another. I think , though , he will accept that invitation' from the Clever Fellows , in July. I hope so. At one time he said he would not go home at all. His father wrote him such a discouraging letter that he said he would not leave Nebraska in five years not until he had achieved , some great undertaldug but , I think , he has forgotten that , and intends visiting - " ing our three fathers -next summer. What a pity it was not four fathers ! We are having pleasant weather spring- like , if it wns not windy. S g is much more fleshy than when we left home. He thinks there never was a handsomer pair of whiskers and , moustache than his , although the latter is visible only to close inspection. There ore some very nice ladies here Mrs. Cumings I stay in her room most of the time Mrs. Miller and Mrs. Good will. George Dickinson , ( Higby & D , . ) . is Mrs. Miller's brother. She says she supposes George is married to Lib Wing by this time. Did you know of it ! Lyman Richardson lives here. I know of no more news.
