Notice.

Editor "NebrGskG Advertiser:
DEAR SIR: In looking over the last number Of your
paper a notice attracted my attention signed by
Jerome Hoover, ESQ, in which he states that certain
stories are in circulation that the undersigned claim
somei interest in NeInaaa City for the purpose of in
juring its prosperity. 1t may do quite well to cir
culate a report Of that nature where the facts are
unknown, but to those knowing the facts such a
statement is merely foolish.
And for the purpose Of giving a fair opportunity
to persons to ascertain the facts We hereby warn all
persons from purchasing any pretended claim OF
interest in the said town of Nemaha City, from the
said Jerome Hoover, as he has sold and received gay
for nine-twelfths of said town, and suit is now pending
to place the undersigned in possession of the interest
by them purchased in the same; and they have moi
authorized the said Hoover to sell or dispose of any
portion Of their interest, but directed suit to be
broughtlong since for its recovery.
Yours, DC,

MIR. BROOKS BURIAL.

The remains of Hon. p. S. Brooks, of
South Carolina, were inferred at Edgefeld,
S. c., on Saturday. Rev. Mr. Wheeler, of
Flat Rock, n. c., read the burial service.
A correspondent of the Charleston Courier,
who had cOnversed with President Pierce,
writes from Washington as follows:
Among other interesting particulars,
connected with the closing scene, he men
toned the last words, uttered by the agon-
lied victim, shortly before the final stroke
prime, but in undiminishcd vigor and
strength-"his eye was not dim, nor his ma
tural force abated"-to the icy embrace of
death. "While the sufferer was convulsed
with efforts at respiraton,-with his arms
bent in a bow behind him." said the Presi-
dent, suting the action to the word, "a friend
at his side feeling his pulse, remarked con-
solingly-'Brooks, your pulse is better now,
and you will soon be WE'LL Don't talk to
me of my pulse, and of my getting well,
said the strong man, struggling with the
King of Terrors, when l am dying for want
of BREATH sin fifteen minutes" added
the President, The was a corpse"
The scene, at his death bed, is said to
have been a most deeply affecting one. As
soon as the spirit had departed, Senator
Butler, the beloved and venerated relative,
for whom the gallant Brooks had fearlessly
perilled life, threw himself in an agony of
grief, on the lifeless body, crying, "my
boy my boy!" kissing the bloodless lips,
and dropping tears, fast as the Arabian
trees their medicinal gum,'' on the pale
face of his young champion and kinsman,
now powerless in death. Keitt, his kindred
spirit and chosen friend, whose ''love to
him passed the love of woman" ran to and
fro, temporarily crazed at the shock, and
rocked as on pillows of grief. Lewis Camp
bell, too, the former foe, converted into a
friend, by timely reconciliation, stood hard
by, stunned, yet deeply agitated, and with
weeping eyes, pale as death itself"

ADDITIONAL FOREIGN NEWS.

The London Times of the 31s January,
states that Hong Kong correspondents to
December 18th, says that on the 18th of
November whilst Captain Foot of the Unit
ed States ship Portsmouth, was on his way
to Whampoa, to communicate with the ships
pinnaMNFor the purpose of withdrawing the
American marines stationed in the foreign
factories. and while passing the barrier forts
his boat was fired upon by the Chinese. and
he was obliged to put back to X ampoa,
Notwithstanding the American fN%as fly
ing at the time, and was also waved from
the boat. The Portsmouth and the Levant
moved up the river and bomAarded the forts,
which the Chinese defended bravely, reply
ing with well directed fire, killing two and
wounding others, and doing some damage
to the vessel.
Commodore Armstrong then wrote to the
Viceroy demanding All apology. The reply
not being satisfactory, the Americans pro-
ceeded to take the forts, which they have
since destroyed. 1eh has written to the
American authorities stating that their flag
shall be respected; that it was mistake.
The plenipotentiary and naval commander
in chief of Great Britain and America, held
conference relative to Canton, but no re-
suits of Importance had been arrived at.
The China Mail of the 18th of November
says that the Americans met with fatal
accident in the destruction of the barrier
forts. A mine exploded, through the care
lessness of a seaman, killing three and
wounding others.
Accounts from Naples state that deplor-
able terror reigns in the capital and king
dom. Arrests continue necessarily. A
priest had attempted to assassinate the
Archbishop of Matura, while he was giving
the benediction to the people. The Arch
bishop was wounded.

But mind them well and you will lind,
Not hiudmost is the Printer.

That you might not grow up fool,

Been published by the Printer.
How do your Presidents and Kings

Would sometimes scarce know what to do,
Could they not get certain view
Of work done by the Printer.
The doctor cannot meet the crooks

The various goods the merchant sells
Inviting all the beaux and bellies!
Who is it but the Printer?
The classes of the human race,
Of different size, of different face,
Appears in this and every place,
How obvious to tho Printer.
One sings the bass, one sharps and flats,
Bedecked with pantaloons and hats,
And long tailed coats and smooth cravats
Of this class is the Printer.
The other sings the treble sweet,

And look. how beauteous and complete,
And lovely to the Printer.

SHOCKING AND FATAL CRUELTY TO A
CHILD-In June last Anna Hilton, nine
years old, was adopted from the Five Points
House of Industry by Mrs Simpson Decker,
at Long Neck, Staten Island. On Wednes-
day last the child died, and coroner's iury
found that she "came to her death bv being
beaten in brutal manner, from exposure.
and from want of proper nourishment, at
the hands of Mrs Matilda Ann Decker
Mrs d. is now in Richmond Co. Jail. The
testimony shows that the child was made
to do the family washing in an open yard
in TIE severest weather; that she had
nothing on her feet and but scanty clothing
on her body; that her feet were frozen, and
she put them in the oven of the stove
where they were burned to blister; that
she could not walk, but was made to dc
housework still, creeping about on her hands
and knees until her knees were dreadfully
lacerated; that she was habitually beaten
with a broomstick and treated with the
utmost cruelty in every way-in fact
deliberately starved and pounded to death
Of course, there is great excitement in the
neighborhood. The directors ofthe Mission
have taken the matter in hand, and the
whole matter will be sifted thoroughly

GEN. KNox's MARR1AGE.-Somebod
writing to the Progressive Age, incidents
in the life of Gen. Knox, relates the
following:
The Generals marriage was something
of a romantic affair, and is said to have
happened somewhat in this wise:
AS Miss Lucy Fluker was walking out
one day, she saw young Knox, (who was a
book-binder in Boston at the time,) and
as she fancied his personal appearance, she
was "smitten" with him. She could not
suppress her feelings, and so gave vent to
them by writing him note as soon as she
reached her house, requesting him to call
and see her. Throwing aside her feminine
reserve, she at once proposed that he should
marry her. The proffer was at once
accepted, and the poor book-binder became
the husband ofthe rich heiress
There are few more who would like
to be fixed off the same way. Who'll try. I
On Monday lady stopped at the
Madison House, Covington, KY, with her
husband and thirty-two children. She was
about sixty years of age, but looked young
and hearty. She was the mother of them
all. If this can be beat, we are extremely
DESTROYS of receiving the information.
An honest Hibernian, in recommending
cow, said she would give milk year after
year, without having calves, because" said
he, 1T runs in the brade, for she came out
of COW that niver had calf"

in the world, is in the museum at New

inches around her arm and SO around the

She halls from Kentucky.
RESISTANCE TO RID1cULE.-Learn from
the earliest days to inure your principles
against the peril Of ridicule; you can no
more exercise your reason, if you live in the
constant dread of laughter, than you can
enjoy your life if you are in the constant
terror of death.

"Ninepence! She told me that the DR..

A CASE BEYOND MEDICAL SK1LL.-Some
readers may remember the curious account
of a man who died suddenly in this city
while since, over whose face, as his body
was exposed at the grave, a sudden shade
and light passed SO strangely, that the
friends removed it back to the house, and
kept up frictions all night trying to restore
it to life. We learn since that some of the
anxious friends of the deceased visited New
York at the time, and tried to induce the
physician who attended the dead man in
his last illness, to go up and try his skill
toward his restoration. DR.. S. listened
while incredulously, but at last seemed to
believe the story of his informant "But"
said he, 81 hope that you wont be able to
restore him really hope you won't"
"Why" asked his visitor in amazement.
We'll" said the Doctor, II don'tsee how he
would get along, it would be very awkward
for him-for his liver and heart are in that
jar on the SHELF 2. Times.
