all neat women. But we never were really
"struck'' by one until last week, and the way
of it was about thus: Z
We were "out wese' a few miles and got
belated, looked for a place to stay over night
found a cabin asked if we could be accom-
modated. Tall woman with freckled face, red
hair, Buffalo skin mocasins, buckskin dress
and freesoil baby, said she "reckOned we
mout."
We got of our horses, hitched them to a
cottonwood corn crib, and wentin We asked
for supper. We got some bacon, molasses,
onions, boiled pumpkin and Corn Dodger. We
ate heartily.
After meal was passed woman said to old

We were in love with that woman on ae-
count of her neatneSs. And that evening we
laid dow upon the rough hewn floor and had
pleasant dreams. Ghostly heas were hopping
about through our corperial diversities and
spectre sl1ts with goblin pups danced before
us in boxes Of uuearthly meal during the live
long night And our great great grandfatheI
cat astraddle of us six hours, and with the ram

that neatly prepared corn dodger down oui
unwilling threats, and whistled all the time
for the dogs, while the freesoil baby and it:

Do we wish q children to be intelligent,
prosperous and happy2-then lose no time in
making a beginning in the establishment Of
free schools. Competent teachers will come
to our aid, when they know that their services
are desired, and. INDEED, we have many among
US now, competent to teach efficient schools,
who would undertake the business Of public
schools In this Territory, were one started.
Our Legislature have already enacted q lib
eral school law, providing for the establish
ment Of free schools throughout the Territory,
making with the funds to be expected from
the school lands, sufficient provision to edu-
cate every child in the Teritiry."
We are glad to see the people in this Terri
tory stirring themselves in regard to Public
Schools. The above extract is from a cores
pendent of the Wyoming Telescope, murray,
who %evinces the proper spirit, most assuredly.
In this county, we have an efficient County
Superintendent who has organized the settled
portions of the county, and is making every
effort to give us The benefit Of the School Sys.
tenn. This season we have met with many
difficulties in keeping our school in motion in
tlis place. Our arrangements will be such
next year, that q school will be kept up the
entire year. Our people are all in for educa.
tional matters, and are wide awake on the
subject.

We are glad to be able to state for the infor-
nation of all concerned, that the general
health of this Territory has been this year as
good as usual, and that is very good. Of course,
no country is exempt from disease, and Death
visits all, but we have never been in q country
where so little sickness prevails, as here; no
new country has ever been settled, with whose
history we afe conyersant, at so small a cost OF
human suffering and Of human lives as Ne
braska.
OF course, exposure VIII produce disease and
suffering, and we caution all new comers to be
very careful during the fall and winter months
do not venture out too much in storms
make your houses as warm and dry as posi-
bic; and be careful not to expose yourselves
more than you did before you came here /;
there is more danger from a sudden change Of
living than anything else.
Another thing. Be very careful of your
horses. Many persons bring valuable horses
from States south, and elsewhere, and finding
the range pretty good and stabling scarce, let
them run at large during the fall and winter,
exposing them to the storms. This is very Sc
we're on them; and many die from such treat
ment. Horses like ourselves have to become
acclimated. Our advice is to keep them dry
and aCarma, If you have to make hay sheds, or
caves for them. 1t viii pay you well.
We copy the above from the Nebraska Dem
ocrat, and feel grateful to Him who controls
the health of the countries that we can bear
similar testimony to Che above, so far as this
portion of Nebraska is concerned. We doubt
whether any other portion of the earth-with
the exposure, change of climate, habits, food,
and all other attendants upon the filling up
of new country, has been so peculiarly favor
ed as regards health, as has Nebraska. Since
our residence in this place, there has been but
one case of sickness sufficiently agravating to
require the attendance of a physician; and
there has never been a death in Brownville.
