From the Nebraska C,ty Neps Of the lth
INST. we CLEAN few items worth reading.
] The editor Of the Ne,cs boasts that Ne.
braska City has in and Immediately around
it more grist mills than any six other towns
in the Territory. There are five mills for
saving lumber and two or three grist- mills,
some OF them in the town and some of them

OF 100000 brick have been burned this sea.
son and laid up into the walls of buildings
in the city, and the demand for more are such
that three more kilns are being prepared for
burning.
The editor has been on a tour through
Southern Nebraska, and gives quite racy
description Of things which fell under his
observation. He says:
Omaha City. as whole, is improving
rapidly;in the list three months, fifteen
houses of various descriptions have been
contemplated, seven erected, and many 9TH
crs spoken Of. During the same brief Pc
Rod fifty nine aspirants for Congress, forty
seven Colonies, nineteen Generals, eleven
Captains, thirteen "men of influence" and
numberless "rich old fellows" have visited
and talked Of locating in the place. But Sc
riously Omaha City has improved very much
during the three last months, there are now
several respectable houses there, which are
said to be inhabited, four stores, and good
hotel. And the Ex.Acting Governor, r. B.
Cunning. being absent from the city, ar
ranging his affairs East, the said city pre-.
SCENTS much cleaner appearance than it ever
has befo re.
We saw there, among other great men,
Gov. lizard, John Sherman. Mr.. Smith. An.
drew Jackson Poppeton, 0. d. Richardson,
John McNeal Latham, and fellow that had
just come in from fighting the Sioux Indians
at Fon,anelle, for all of whom we have the
greatest respect.
The Douglas House is an ornament to the
West generally, and too Good for Omaha
City in particular. II is kept in the best of
style, and by one Of the best Of good ma
tured men. And though in olden time it
used TO axe ten lis to make a cent, we
hope that in this new era and new country,
one Mills will make fortune, and that that
Mills may be the NJ lis who keeps the Doug
las House. And moreover, we do hope that
the said Mills may accomplish and achieve
the said fortune without grinding away his
health and life by hard work.
