Sensible.

An old Agricultural friend of ours writes
through our columns the following sensible
advice to Nebraska farmers
Raise no crop that don't beat those of your
neighbors. This may seem strong language.
1t means simply be ambitious determine to
equal; endeavor to excel others in your man
ner of farming. Cultivate yourself thorough
y; keep it friabIe by frequent use of the plow,
the cultivator and hoe. Avail yourselves of
all the labor saving machinery you can. This
is essential where labor is so very scarce and
dear. Remember that a specific crop or so
many pounds of flesh, always pay better, the
smaller the field or the fewer the mouths from
which they are produced. That is, better till
one acre well, than scratch over two or three.
Good caro- of animals will, in the end be
most profitable. Read the Agricultural pa
pers and U1Tte for them. Thus you will learn
the progress others arc making adopt their ex-
p~erience and suggestions to your Own wants
and what you have proved good, labor to dis
seminate as widely as possible.
You, Mr. Editor, have been talking of st art.
ing an Agricultural paper in Nebraska. Allow
me to make a suggestion, for which I charge
nothing. Turn your Advertiser into an Agri.
cultural paper. A weekly Agricultural paper
in Nebraska 1 have no doubt will pay. One
something like the "Ohio Farmer The
principal feature devoted to Agriculture, bu
with sufficient news, and miscellaneous matte
to make it a desirable paper to all classes
More anon. Your old friend,
Mt. Pleasant, Iowa. B. B. S.
We refer our farmers to friend B. B. S. ad
! vice above, which is certainly good. and to tn,
point. In answer to that portion referring par
; ticular to %ourself, we have only to say that W,
5 have seriously reflected upon that yer,
course and You need not be surprised if W
should adopt it-ED.

Organize.

A few weeks ago friend Minick gave us a
"side wiper" for not being sup and about'
Agricultural matters more Of late. In regard
to the "Nemaha County Agricultural Society,""
we would like very we'll to see it organized
and will render all assistance to do SO. W.
are not one of the Incorporators consequently
cannot call a meeting. But if some one Of
the Incorporators will call a meeting we will
publish the notice, and urge attendance. Fur
Their we hereby promise to do all the printing
work the Society may need for the first year,
without charge. And any suggestions we
can make, or assistance we can render in max
ing up Bylaws and Premium Lists, &C., we
will eheerfuIIy do.
The plan to put the Society on foot is very
simple and the duties easily performed. Let
some one Of the incorporators call a meeting al
which elect your officers; appoint a committee
to draft a sOtt of Bylaws for your govern
ment. After this is done let there be gotter
up a Premium List for a Fair to be held in the
fall of 1858. Let that list be published early
next spring that farmers and mechanics MAJ
know what to compete for, and govern them
selves accordingly" Tbs done have tn,

facts arc se~lfevident. Again We say, or

We hope the editor of the Nebraskian

The tone, and refinement of that paper Of
late, is very easily accounted for. It's editor
has been appointed Farmer for the Omaha
tribe of Indians and by the way the lowest

old saying, "evil communication corrupt good

The Difference.

the ballot box, to be for FENNER FERGUsoN.-

Col. RANKIN foughtlons and well-until

over; the vote against him, and he like a true

The above property wilt be drawn for at BrownviIIe
October 10th, 1857, in the following manner:
When tickets are sold the purchasers name and number
Of his ticket are correctly registered by the person selling
the ticket. When the day for drawing arrives, the ticket
holders will select five commissioners to act in conJunc-
ton with the Board of Directors OF the Hotel Company,
thus forming a Board of Commissioners of ten members
who shall each take upon themselves an oath to faithful
~ and honestly superinted the drawing. The Board when
thus organized and qualified shall number small tickets
from 1 to 2 200 and deposite in a box. They will then
write ali the prizes and dep0site in another box one on
each ticket amounting to 2 200 in all, corresponding in
number with the numerical tickets in the other box. Two
of their number, each blindfolded, will proceed to draw
at the same time, enc from each box, numbers and prizes,
and as they are drawn out, the number and prize drawn
simultaneously will determine the drawing. Each
drawing will be entered in a book, and the result as soon
as completed announced.
Warranty DEEDS viii be given for all the RcaI-Estate
in three days after the drawing, which Is about as soon
as they can all be made, after ascertaining 10 whom they
belong.
should anything transpire TO prevent the drawing
taking place, every dollar received will be refunded. AL
funds received will be deposited in Bank-nOt a cent used
until after the drawing takes place.
Tickets win be sold only for cash. Consequently, if
any numbers are spoken for, and not paid for before ten
days from the day of drawing the numbers will be sold,
or the prizes they may draw be the property Of the Hotel
Company.
The Board Of Directors Of the Hotel Company desire
again to state that they wish il understood that this is no
speculative humbaging operation. We desire to erect 4
gCOd Hotel in our City, and have had this property apprO-
priated by different individuals for that purpose. and
upon consultation have adopted this as the most $Skely
manner Of converting it into money and we hereby
pledge ourselves for the honorable transaction Of the
whole affair.
A few responsible Agents Of known integrity will visit
the surrounding country and neighbOring cities and towns
in a few days with tickets for sale. Should any prefer
RENTING by mail they can do so by enclosing the cash or

FIRE.

Last evening, about five o'clock, a fire
broke out in the large warehouse of. S.
MITCHELL d Co., ON Walnut street, near the
canal. The flames spread with great rapid
ty. and the warehouse, together with two
stables, one small dwelling and several old
sheds, were speedily burned to the ground.
Had the wind not suddenly changed to the
Eastward, the whole block would probably
have been consumed. The warehouse con-
tanned about four hundred and fifty barrels
and sacks Of salt, and several articles of ma
chinery. The latter was saved, but the salt
was nearly all destroyed. The Neptune en-
CINE, was badly scorched, by ven,uring in
TOO close proximity to the flames. The dam
.age is estimated at from 81, 900 to $4,000. The
warehouse was partially insured in one of
our State offices, we are informed. The fire.
men were active and very efficient in their
1abors TO arrest the flames. The Neptune
boys were little too adventurous, and came
near adding their own engine to the confa-
grafton. She was saved with a slight dam
age to her paint only. The conAagration at
one time threatened TO sweep the whole
square. but fortunately the wind suddenly
changed to n different quarter, and enabled
the fremen to stay its ravages. The origin
of the fire is Il mystery, for no fire had been
used in the warehouse for year. 1t must
have been from spontaneous combustion-or
the work of an incendiary.
