some nterest in Eemaha City for the purpose of in
juring its prosperity 1t may do quite we'll to cir
culate n report Of that nature where the facts are
unknown, but to those knowing the facts such q
statement is merely foolish. : Is, .i,I /,
And for the purpose Of giving, afair opportunity
to persons to ascertain the facts we hersby warn all
persons from purchasing any pretended claim or
interest in the said town of Nemaha City, from the
said jerome Hoover, ashe has soldand received pay
for nine-twelfths ofsaid town, Andsnitis now peI6inr
to place thO nndOFsiguef IN pJssessiOnO Of thefuterest
by them purchased in the same; and they have not
authorized the said Hoover to sell or dispose of any
portion Of their interest, but directed suit to- be
broughtlong since for its recovery. - I

Printers Proverbs.

l. Never inquire thou of the editor for
the news; for behold, it is his duty at the
appointed time to give it unto thee with,
out asking,
2. When thou dost write for his paper,
never say unto him, "what thinkest thou
Of my piece?" for it may be that the truth
may offend thee.
8. 1t is not fit that thou should ask Of
him who is the author Of an article upon
subjects Of public concernment, for duty
requires him to keep such things unto
himself.
4. When thou dost enter into the print.
ing office, have care unto thyself that
thou dost not touch the types; for thou
mayest cause the printer much trouble.
5. Look thou not a the copy which is
in the hands Of the compositors; for that
is not meet in the sight Of the printer,
and he might knock thee down.
6. Neither examine the oofsheet--
for it is not ready to meet thine eye, that
thou mayest understand it.
7, Prefer your own county paper, the
"Home Journal to all other journals;
subscribe Immediately, and pay for it in
advance, and it shall be we'll with thee

Brownlow, of the Knoxville Whig,
complains, in common with the craft, OF
the inconvenient and unnecessary length
Of the obituary notices sent him for pub
lcaton, which he pronounces useless
nonsense, and concludes by saying when
we die, we desire some friend TO pen this
obituary for us."

many years the editor of newpaper.--
He desires it stated TO the world, that if
he had his life to live over again, he could
improve it in many respects. He leaves
no apologies to be made to men in this
life, and asks no fovors Of any body con

His friends, if he have any left behind,
can be of no service TO him; his enemies,

TAKlG OUT AN Eye TO MEND IT. The

cures he performs. He has found the
ball Of the eye to be transparent, and, by
q curious instrument, examines mlnutcly
the interior, takes it out, and performs
any necessary surgical operation, and
replaces it without injury to its appear

been afflicted with the most excruciating
pain in the left eye, the cause Of which
the most learned could not understand,
DR.. Graef found in the centre of the ball
little worm, which he removed, and
restored the poor creature immedlatel y to
health and perfect sight. His office is
thronged all day by the poor, praying for
relief.

Where only the soft zephyr, or lhe carol
OF some solitary bird, breaks the silence,
thus adding charms 10 the scene; then TO

mony sweet, pervading the beauty and
serenity Of nature at such an hour,
breathes into the soul a hallowed compo.

and wisely arranged the beautiful things
OF nature.
IT'S sweet TO wander where The modest
little Aowret has "blushed unseen," and
modestly given its sweets to "the desert
air"--to see it inhaling the last lingering
ray Of the sun as he sinks in the west,
and seeming mournrul to part with the
God Of Day, droops its head IN its moth
er's fond breast, as if no more to see the
light--tcaches lesson Of meekness and
humility, and prepares the heart for the
just dispensations Of Heaven, whether
shrouded in veal or woe.
IT'S sweet, as the sun expires in un'
speakable splendor, to behold the clouds
kindling far his funeral pyre amidst the
sky's red glare, throwing across the ce.
estiaI dome a beautiful and brilliant
scenery, "more picturesque than the pen

mind, "more impressive than the tongue

bY" Three men were hung in St.
Louis, some days ago, and each express,
ed his strong conviction on the gallows
that he was going Immediately to Heav'
en-, and that the crime he had committed
had been the means of bringing him to
his Savior. The minister who filled
them with this idea no doubt did it with
the best intentions, but the propriety Of
such teachings may we'll be questioned.
Men are usually taught that it is hring
vlrtuously and religiously which gains
immortal happiness; but if men are to
reach the same reward through the com.
mission Of crimes, and the greatest Of all
crimes be the immediate instrument o.
their salvation, the question arises where
is the merit OF a good life in respect to
the hope Of the future! If it is preached
that crime may be the means Of saving
is not very strong inducement held ou
TO commit it, and may not murder come
to be regarded by the reckless as the
readiest means to obtain it at the end o
life ill.spent? Such preaching seem!
to be dangerous 10 society and promotivt

And if | ask thee for n kiss

With far less title to the Bliss
Steals every minute at his ease;
And yet how placid is thy brow
1t seems to WOO the oold caress,
While now he takes his kiss, aud now
All SORTS of freedom with thy dress.
Or if dare thy hand TO touch,
Hath nothing pressed its palm before!
A flower, I'm sure, hath done as much,
And all! some sens2Ie.s diamond more.
ltsrikeS he, love, the very rings
Now sparkle on this hand Of thine,
Could tell some truly startling things,
If they had tongue or souch like mine.
Indeed, indeed, do not know,
Of all that thou hast power to grant,
A boon for which | could not show
So pretty precedent eXtant.
Suppose, for instance, should clasp
Thus, so, and thus, thy tender waist,
IwouId not hold within my grasp
More than this loosened zone embraced
Oh, put The anger from thine eyes!
Or shut them if they still must frown;
Those lids, despite yon garlsh skies,
Can bring timely darkness down;
Then if in that convenient night
My lips should press thy dewy mouth,
The touch shall be so soft, so light,
Thou'lt fancy it-this gentle South.

the last arrival from California we learn
that Hook Farm, his residence, has been

years without home of his own, His
generous, specting nature was not
sufficient to cope with the shrewdness Of
lawyers and spectators when his lands
became valuable; and so they have all
been wrested from him, much by what in

Legitimate transactions" much by bare
