SURVEYS in Nebraska.

We clip the following, in relation to
the surveys in the southern portion Of
Nebraska, from the Washington States
Of the 5th inst:
Returns have recently been receiv-
ed at the General Land Office from
the Surveyor General at Lecompton,
Kansas, of the exterior or township
lines, embracing the country situated
north of the base line, and east of the
sixth principal meridian.
Also, of the sub-divisional lines of
the Half-Breed reservation, lying be-
tween the two Nemaha rivers, which,
in accordance with the instructions
from the Department, have been sur
veyed in the same manner as other
public lands.

HIGH Prices.

In a good grazing country like this,
where cattle have a range ofthousands
and thousands of acres, covered with
the best grass in the world, where
springs and streams of pure water ex-
list on every quarter section, and every
facility is afforded for successful dairy
ing, sixty cents a pound for poor butter
is a ~tOlerably high price. We have a
soil in Nebraska unsurpassed in fertil-
ity. After the prairie is broken up,
and the seed planted, less cultivation is
required to insure a successful crop
than in any other country we ever
knew, and yet We are compelled at
present to pay from 50 so to So for
every bushel of potatoes we eat. From
seVenty-fve cents to one dollor a
bushel is considered a reasonable rate
for oats, and that man is fortunate who
is able to purchase corn fort less than
one and a half dollars per bushel.
Now what's the reason, where the
necessity for these starvation prices in
a country of plenty like Nebraska?
Within thepast week we have known
instances Of persons hawking butter
about the city, at the moderate sum Of
eighty cents per pound. Not one
fourth Of our citizens had a pound Of
the article in their houses, and proba-
bly, ninety-nine out ola hundred would

Judge j. ". HALL, Ofthis cOun-
IT,. has presented US with an apple

1t is beautiful specimen both as to
appearance and taste; a bright yellow,
medium size and slightly sweet, rich

A Han Shot and KiLIedI

Our usually quiet City was thrown
into quite-an excited state on Saturday
last by the announcement on the street
that a white man had been killed by a
negro, in the willows just below the
city. We with a number of other cit
liens went Immediately to learn the
truth Of the report and were panied to
ind it true. We found Mr.. WI.
MYERS, formerly an old resident of
Atchison county, Mo-, writing in the
agonies of death from the effect of two
shots from a pistol or rife. He died
in a few minutes after our arrival.
The circumstances which led to this
unhappy result were about as fellows I:
On Saturday morning last it was as
ecrtained that three runaway negroes
we're secreted in the willow thicket .
short way below our city. J. r. Da-
Wis, Thos. Williams, A. Handley and
Vim. Myers, went in pursuit of them.
All except VIM. Myers were on horse
back when they went into the thicket
but finding it impossible to get along
Thus they dismounted and tied theil
horses. They had proceeded but ;
short distance when they came upo1
the negroes, who springing from theil
hiding places, well armed, commences
I firing upon the white men, and VIM
Myers was shot down by two of th,
negroes. Davis, Williams and Hand
ley came on one of the negroes abou
: one hundred yards from where the 9th
er two we're secreted; Davis comm.
I upon him first. The negro spran.
e upon Mr.. Davis pistol in hand and wa
: about to FIRE, when Mr.. D. knocke
e the pistol from the negroes hand, an
at the anne time wounding the negr
: severely by shooting him in the arm
e Rhe other two negroes in the NEAR
time made their escape, and as the
passed out of the willows, took til
three horses left there by William
Davis and Handley, mounted two
them and away they went across I'll
: prairie. A company started in pursui
e but returned Sundaynight withoutha-
d ing oYertaken them. The wounde
" negro also made his escape during Il
h melee, but was unable to travel far al
h. gave himself up at the farm of WI
st Kelly. He was brought into town t
n. ken charge of by Sheriff lasters, al
as on MOndy underwent a preliminal
IS trial before Justice Thompson D.

he S. BELDEN, Esq, for the defence. II

Welearned from the wounded neg
is that he was owned by a widow To,

lies for several weeks, rather than pay
an additional tax Of twenty cents to the
pound,-ove and above what appears
to Tie d high market price.
These. abuses can be, and it is tie
duty of our people to see that they
are corrected. Plenty of butter can
Be obtained in Fremont and Mills
Counties, Iowa, fcr from twenty to
twenty five cents . pound, and We be-
lieve plenty of potatoes can be pur7E
chased Of farmers, within FIVE or SIX
miles Of the city, at a rate not exceed
ing one dollar per bushel.
The above We clip from the Omaha
Ne5raskian.
One of the principle reasons Mr..
Nebraskian why you are forced to pay
such prices for produce, is owing to
the course your people have pursued
in regard to settling up your county
Agrieulturaly. So long as you coun-
~tenance residents Of your city in hold
ing under your club law, 800 acres
yea, in some instances 1000 acres of.
land, thus shutting out the tiller Of the
soil, YOU must expect just such prices.
1t cannot be otherwise. In other por-
tons Of the Territory where the people
comply with the Laws of the United
States, governing the Public Lands,
an entirely different state of affairs
exist. In this county where no one
thinks of holding over 100 acres Of
public land asa claim, which is all any
one man can hold according to law,
prices Of produce are reasonable, con-
sequertly living cheaper than in other
parts of the Territory where a-differ.
ent policy has been adopted. 1t does
not require here all a man of moderate
means can command to procure some
thing for himself and family to eat
| Again we say Mr. Nebraskian you will
have to grin and bear your so cts
for Butter, and So for potatoes until
you adopt a different course in regard
to your-lands, and get a set of enter
T prising Farmers hold of your soil.
D The public who travel over the Day
ton and Michigan-R. r. will be sorry
to learn that CHARLEY MAYNARD, who
: has been connected with the Road, fol
l. the last four years, has resigned hi,
e post, for the purpose of engaging il
