A gentleman from Avoca In this city yesterday reported two new cases of small pox at that place , an 1 one death on Mon day night. It is thought that tha disease wras imported' by three strangers , who lately came there , two of whum hired out at farm hands , n short distance out of Avoca , and one remained in town. All throe soon came down with the small pox , and It was one of these two , living about throe inilea.out , who died Monday night.

THE , COIN COLONY. Prosperity of tlio Now Town in Paeo County , Iowa , Present and Possible Pros pects in the Way of Rail roads in the County. The Now Town of Northboro and the People That Are in It. Notes in Oonornl Front the Flonr- ifthinR PlnooR Correspondence of The Oimhft Uco. COIN , Page Co. , In. , March 7. Page county is ono of the boat wn tercd nnd most fertile in tlio stnto and its great richness of soil , oarlj settlement , intelligence of its people and the rapid development of its boundless resources by railroad en terprise linvo brought it conspicuously to the notice of eastern capitalists within a very few yearn , nnd pvorj- where the littln towns nro springing up in unthoufjlit-of places , adding to the nugroijato value and expansion the commonwealth. COIN is n growing young city ol ,400 or 500 inhabitants , 05 miles from Oinahrt , on the Wnbasli , 0 nulo ? from the Mis souri a'nto ' line and about 30 from Nebraska City on the Missouri river. The town is situated on a beautiful bluff , on tlio right bank of the eastern Turkic , with the rich valley stretch ing awny to the east and south , while still beyond this the native timber , the cultivated farms , and the grove topped hills in every direction , mak ing up the picture in all its grandeur and completeness. A little more than two years ago , when the Wabash rail road was conslruotod through Page county , and a station was hero loc.itcd \nd christened , it was an unbroken prairie , with few farm improvements in sight ; but the location was too good to bo loft long unoccu pied , ana the intelligent enterprise of Young America soon settled hero. From many of the older and leas bril liant villages caino a colony of young business men of steady habits , health , money and brains , the principal ele ments of success , while from the mid dle states there followed well-to-do ( armors to occupy nnd cultivate the surrounding fields. The tone and pa triotism of the eariy settlers , whose influence is to-day felt in every part of the otato , and ro-echood from every pulpit and lyceum platform , in "story ind song , " is readily noticed by the irmful of nowspanora in every homo , the church spires in every hamlet , the brick school houses on a thousand hills , the " 80,000 majority , " and the classical and illustrious names of the sixteen townships comprising the jounty , among which are Washington , Morton , Harlan , Pierce , Buchanan , Fremont , Lincoln , Douglas , Grant t\d Coliax , while some of the results are shown by the public buildings. A long list of largo mid , costly bridges of both wood and iron , thousands of dollars in the county treasury , and the farm lands , with only fair im provements selling nvory day to good Illinois farmers nt § 40 per acre , while \ network of railroads almost encircle the county , and several are being con- itructod across the central portion. THE VEW KOAD : rossing the Wabasli here , is now being - ing rapidly built by the 0. B. & Q. , ind may form the main line for heavy Freight from Chicago by way of Hume- tton , Olarinda , Coin , Cornincr. Mo. , Ncmohft and the Republican Valley to Denver and the Pacific. The heavy Dxcavations , light grades and gentle curves , show that it is wall adapted for a principal roadway or a great trunk lino. J. Stubbs , for many years the principal contractor for the "Q , " hns a largp force of men at work along this line , and average citizen ex pects to hoar the iron horse of the "Q" whistling his challenge to the Wnbasli before the wheat harvest. Tn company with Mr. Samuel Sherman , nno of Mr. Stnbbs' foreman and con tractors for many years , and who has just returned from an extended tour to many of the railroaa and engineer- hip camps in Colorado , wo wore intro duced to Mr , James Shcahan , the superintendent of the road , who proved to boa Ponnsylyanian from the "homo of the Buck Toils , " and a veteran rail road contractor , well known among the camps of the Sunbury , Philadelphia - phia & Erie , Lake Shore & Michigan Southern , and the Atlantic & Great Western , and a trusted lieutenant of Gon. Jack Casement , popularly called "Mild Jack of Painosyillo. " By the pplitoncss of tlio superintendent wo visited the various camps along the line near Coin , and inspected the heavy works , the corrals , the touted villages , the now and ingenious im plements , and the hundred fine teams laboring as quietly ns clock work. KmiTitnoiio , six miles southwest on this now roud , is a now town of nearly ono hundred , ind already has several stores and shops , and is surrounded by n class of wealthy stock growers and beautiful Farms , Coal , wood and good building stouo ire abundant in the county , and many 9f the farmers are following the exam ple of Mr. J. W. Turner , president of the board of supervisors , nnd build. Ing their now barns with good stone baqemont stabling.

VOUNO 1IHAHS HAND discoursed some fine music this evening - ing on their wny to join a happy wed ding nsBcmbly. but the order and quietness of the village was not bro ken by n single ahout or a word of nut- law rufllaniem , for the city fathers very quietly and promptly put such "lowd follows of tlio baser sort , " am" the tramp element lo work on th ntreota ns the must convenient mean of utilizing their "pent up energy , and save the labor of honest men , As wo leave the train nnd waude past the great piles of timber scat tcrcd about the depot , and turn ou attention on the hill before us , on of the first objects which * attracts th eye is a largo aotnKN BEB invr on the corner , elevated on a 'post , a the emblem of Iho town no doubt. Just cast of it is the livery stable o Olark A Son , who nro enterprising Nebraska farmers , nnd can turn ou a "spanking team" in n "few min utes"and "satisfaction guaranteed.1' ' Just west on the corner is the larpi drug house of J. Lay , jr. , the head quarters of the medical profession o this city , and ono of the finest build ings and drug stores in the country , while the gentlemanly proprietor is esteemed no ono of the solid , enter prising men , who leave the parental roof nnd mother city to make a for tune and n name by force of cliarnc- ter nnd sterling integrity , and who nro always looked up to as lenders in those emergencies which often call out our beat talent , in commotions of civil , political and commercial enter prise 3. On the third comer is the bank of the late representative , the Hon. W. E. Webster , who died this winter while n member of the lower homo of the state legislature. It is ono of the institutions which are financially solid , and the cashier , Mr. T. 0 , Beard , although a young man , can tench some older heads lessons of po liteness and business courtesy , al though the honor nnd confidence bestowed stowed on him by his business nssoci atos and the community at largo rests easily without turning his head. While on the fourth corner wo see the gonornl merchandise store of Andcr son , Baldwin &Co.in the building formerly occupied by the pioneers nnd veterans , S. M. Crooks & Co. , so well known all over this pirt of the ntate , and at present the proprietors of u largo steam elevator hero. Messrs. Anderson , Baldwin & Co. nro soiling n Inrgo amount of goods , and have facilities - , cilities for supplying their nlmro of the purchasing public and keep trade at homo These all belong to Tun DEE family , nnd as wo look for moro of o"r patrons wo find the enterpris ing linns of Wm. Reeves & Co. nnd Pollock & Love , both occupying largo , well filled houses and busy as bees. Prince & Heed and Delk & Hester are dealing out groceries with lavish hands , happy and cheerful , and greeted your correspondent ns a brother. The Wallace Brothers nnd W. A. Woodworth , two thorough-going , on- Drgotio firms , have largo general stocks of light and heavy hnrdnarc , and keep up Huch a "racket" in tinwaro that they can bo found as easily as a cow with a boll on. The Wallace Brothers itlso keep n full assortment of lumber , iu.d the safe blown open by burglars last fall utill stands in tlio corner wait ing to bo traded off tor n now ono. Elliott & Son and Anderson Brothers - ors have placed themselves and their implement houses on opposite sides of the street , seemingly to eye each oth er , while they give every man n plow : > r a threshing-machine "as the BEE tloos , " . Uox & Monroe can supply any "physio or pills , patent medicine or squills , " or "fill n proscription to a T ; " while the Do well Brothers "do- well nnd glue" their furniture together so it can bo warranted , and that is why they sell such largo quantities II. Woton prides himself that there IB no place m the city where fiuch a "equaro meal can bo had , all at once , " as is found every day on his restaurant table , and ho should hang out the sign ot "Ban * nor House. " W. 0. Chosnoy , the popular wagon maker , has been turning liis attention to the manufaotury of cutlery , and by the results of some of his practical ex periments , which we saw , wo think hia investments in that direction will certainly prove a paying enterprise , if ho would extend his operations on a largo acala with ample facilities for [ manufacturing in quantities , and should at once furnish J , I. Nunn , the popular nnd gentlemanly barber , and Andy Miller , the "loading" meat vender , with some ot his bo t articles , that they may bu subjected to the lest of practical UNO , The jewelry business is monopolized izod by Prank Jeflbrdo , who has a larger stock of silverware and time keepers than is found in many such Bstnblialunonts in older cities , and ho regulates them by the dinner boll at the City hotel , where they have to bo prompt , if they feed the throngs who [ rather there ainca the house was re opened by the now proprietor. Brother llozello , pf the Coin Eagle , wo found cheery nnd full of ttoik , publishing the "oillcial ortrun af the city , " a spicy , bright paper , well patronized and growing in strength ami popularity , as it well deserves , like Dr , J , 0. Burton , whom wo mot in the twilight gray of morning , wending hia way homo , while he rushed for the early train. The doctor is a graduate of several schools , including Bellevue , ' Now York , nnd has had n number of years af successful practice , und we judg by his continued absence the twenty- four hours wo were in town , and his short calls , that ho has the heft of tjio practice , for ho had no trouble to find the necessary eajzlo wo wanted before ho joined our family. Coin needs Aomo manufacturers to utilize the fine wntor power , nlso a good denti t , n lawyer , a brickyard , a creamery , nnd it expects to build n good achooi-houso and over BO many now buildings this season. The bank hns juat moved into its now nnd roomy quarters , and is very much of a model arrangement , only that it is not brick , as it would have been if the brick could have been purchased. The Maaons and Odd Fellows ex pect to join the Grand army and use the largo hall on the second floor as n lodge room , and their flourishing con dition is no moro of n wonder thnn the 830,000 worth of freight nnd ex press goods handled , nnd the $3.000 tnkon in for local tickets nt this rail road station , durinc the paat year. Wo mot hero J. S. Tain , who with John P. Irish nnd Judge Kinney own ns much of Iho democracy of the state ns nnybody , nlthoinjh not members of the legislature. The colonel is ono of the well known and respected , as well ns successful business men of Pottn- wnttomin county.

The throng * of teams in the streets the crowded business houses , the no tivity in nil departments of trade ( except cept grain ) , and the commercial nijonj with his crip , toll plainly that Coin is n "livo lown on the prairio" nnd "Tho Buffalo of Page Counly. " BUCKETH. MRS. HtJBBARD'S ASSAILANT. Jim Snoddorly Arrested Last Night , Charged wltli Being the Man Another Heinous Crime for Which He Is Wanted. Jim Snoddorly , a notorious fellow hero , was nrrcated last night , charged with being the assailant of Mrs. Hub- bard. A partner of his is said to have squealed on him. Much indignation is 'felt , and the prisoner was slyly slipped from the calabooso to the jail , lost violence should bo attempted , as there is somotalkof lynching.
