Hard Times.

Although our eastern exchanges bring
us news Of mobs, riots, and starvation, on
account Of hard times, we feel thankful
that here in Nebraska, wo have an ubun.
dance Of everything that is essential for
comfort. That money is scarce, is true,
but the fertile plains of Nebraska. have
produced an abundance to sustain life
and then we have no poor-we shy no
poor, for every one has plenty within his
reach, Wages for all kinds of labor,
are nearly rs good as ever. The
practical working Of these times in the
west, are showing most conclusirely, the
false reasoning Of some crokers IN the
eastern papers last spring, concerning
speculations in the west.
What n contrast! The western pio.
neer settler, who left the home of his
youth, and all the dear social relations Of
life, together with its comforts and luxu.
ries, TO make home upon the fertile prai-
ries of Nebraska, has raised the past
summer, twice the amount he needs, Of
the necessaries of life, whilst panic, pau
perism and beggary, are staring thousands
of honest people in the face, in eastern
cities, who would have removed here, but
for the continual cry of "spcculations in
wild lands, and city lots"

GOV. lizard.

1t is with feelings of sincere and heart
felt regret that we part with Gov. lizard.
That his future path may be a pleasant
one, and his course a prosperous one, is
our strong and earnest wish. During his
administration, few of his official acts
would we blame none of his private acts
could we change. His official course was
ever the same steady, honorable, straight
forward one. He swerved not to the
right or left to endorse private or local in
~teresls, and encouraged no p~artizan selfish
spirit but strove to promote the real inter-
ests of the entire Territory, and con-
stun,ly maintain and accelerate her pro-
gress in wealth and influence. The po-
silion he held, as regards surrounding cir
cumstances, was one of difficulty and per-
pleXity. Few men could have stood at
our helm with so much ease and grace (;
and at the same time guided us with SO
marked and manly frmness and ability.
The cares and trials of the position were
and extremely harrassing, though they
weighed, apparently, but lightly upon him,
and with graceful dignity did he endure
them. AS regards his intercourse with
other officials, we can almost bestow upon
him Abdiers encomIum: Among the
faithless, faithful only he" AS a gentle
man and a citizen, society will feel and
regret his loss. 1t is one not easily sup
piled. His departure has created a gap
in our City's social circle which no one
can fail to perceive and deplore. For the
poorest citizen, Gov lizard always had a
smiling face, u kind word, and a cordial
grasp of the hand for the weallhiest,
no more. Honor and integrity composed
his character while a genial ~afiabiiity
and universal kindness comprised his dis
position.-His head was clear and cool
while his heart was warm and sensitive.
BY every class of honest citizens, he was
loved, respected, honored.--Omdha
Times.

Local g. Miscellaneous.

NEw HoTEL.-Pursuant to n resolu-
lion Of the meeting, called 10 take meas.
ures to erect a new Hotel, to take the
place Of the Benton House-ihree lots
have been selected-one bought, and two
donated by the Rev. William Hamilton.
They are located on the bluff, directly east
of the residence of Judge Ferguson. The
work has commenced and progresses
finely. Since the public meeting Cat
which the sum Of $4,000 was subscribed,
as a donation,) several valuable subscrip-
tions have been received. Among others,
one from Vim. A Gwyer & Co., of Oma-
ha, of five thousand feet of lumber. This
is just as we expected of the man. Mr..
Gwyer is q large lot holder in our city,
and addition to the vast amount of money
he has expended in our place, for its i'm
provement, the last year-he still comes
up 10 the relief of the unfortunate, with a
liberality worthy the man. p
The present location is but one block
removed from the old site. In dimen.
sions, the building is d. by 60 feet, three
stories high. Notwithstanding the cry Of
hard times, our business men and citizens
in general, show a spirit worthy of the
enterprising character they have always
borne, and in a very short time, this great
loss to the city and the travelling public,
will be repaired.

times here. This step may seem prefer
able to them now, but in a few months
there must be many thousands of labor
ers thrown out of employ in the old coun-
tries, in view of the sudden stoppage of
the American trade. Many of these
home returning emigrants carry with them
considerable means, the result of years of
toll and economy. A letter from Newbu-
ryport says that quite a number of the
Irish population of that section are now
returning to Ireland with the money they
have saved. Probably this may explain
the steady run made on the savings banks
in many cities by persons of European ma.

cleveland, N, Il.

Among the many thriving interior
towns of Nebraska, none stand more con.
spicuous than the one above mentioned.
Cleveland is situated or the Loup Fork of
the Platte River, so miles west of Omaha,
and just half way between Omaha and
Fort Keurney, in the Platte Valley, upon
the North side of the river. /, is direct
ly on the Council Bluffs and Fort Kear-
ney Military Road, as will be seen in to.
days paper, is graded and the streams
bridged to this point.
1t is too well known to mention the
fact, that this is the great l~horoughfare
from the Missouri River, overland, to
California, via Fort Larimie, South Pass,
md Utah. In addition 10 the numerous
advantages presented in the location of
Cleveland, as regards its beautiful and
commanding p%osition-it has the advan-
tage of the rich and fertile valleys of
these two great streams above mentioned
an abundance of stone of q superior
quality for building, and what is the
great desidera,um IN this country-large
tracts of saw timber and cedar, so valua.
bic for fencing, are in abundance. The
rapid and Unprecedented settlement of the
lands adjacent to Cleveland, the last sis
months, is an evidence of the high esti.
mate in which these lands are held, BY
those in search of new homes-hay!ng
those natural requisites so eagerly sough
for in this western country.
The Company who are building tn,
town of Cleveland, have already erected
Il new Hotel, forty by sixty feet, two sto
ries high,-a building of fine proportions
and of the best materials, a great portion
being pine. Many good substantial hous
es, of a character that would grace any
city, are completed, and occupied on tht
town site. Two large and expensive
steam saw mills, are already in full BIAS
in the valley Of the streams on which thii
town is situated. A treaty has beer
formed with the Pawnees, by Gen. Geo
w. Denver, on the part of the govern
ment, by which the Indian title to thes'
lands have been extinguished, and the,
are now open for settlement.
In consideration Of the fact, that The tow
of Cleveland was only laid oul last spring
and the amount of substantial improve
ments made within that time-the supe
rior advantages and facilities for buildin:
a town, and its centrality of location-i
has a future which, as a portion of oul
territory, is worthy of the attention o
those looking westward from The Missouri

For the Bellevue Gazette

MIR, E'DlIoR -
Presenting tina, many in the far
west, understand but very little about the
ST. Nicholas Sociable, in the city Of New
York, allow me TO make a few remarks
respecting it. Several of such Sociables,
exists in the city, during the winter
months. First and foremost Of which,
stands the St. Nicholas, composed Of the
best and first classes Of the city. The
object of these Sociables, is the %cultiva.
ton Of the social nature,-not by sensual
pleasures and uppetitites-not by cold,
stoical indifference to each others welfare,
but by the extension Of a warm hand and
a still warmer heart,-a feast of reason
and a flow Of soul. This Sociable meets
every two weeks. The evenings are
principally spent in dancing, and other
social exercises, closing with refreshments
necessary for the sustenanco of nature.
Oft N the members of the association, will
take a moonlight excursion, a sleigh ride
and other diversions, calculated to awak-
en- the otherwise dormant feelings of our
social nature, and call them into vigorous
action. Man being q social being, de-
mands the pleasures Of social life, and
this demand must and will be granted.
If it is refused qualifications in one way,
it will seek it in an other. If the super.
%stitious professor of religion, frowns down
amusements, that are in themselves inno-
cent and harmless, this demand Of our ma.
ture, will be met by a resort TO the broth
el, and other places of vice and corrup.
ton. In the enjoyment Of these, man
hood will be debased, friends disgraced,
and society ruined. The st. Nicholas
Sociable has done more to keep young
men virtuous and temperate, than many
are wont to suppose. Their winter even
ings have been spent in the best society,
tending to elevate AMI refine, rather than
debase and ruin. During my connection
with it, | must say, that my enioyments
were of the highest and purest character.
| was led by my relation with such an as.
ISOLATION, TO respect my self more highly
than ever, thereby TO honor the body Of
which | was q member. | hope that it will
long exist, carrying out the mission, for
which it was organized.
To you, members of the St. Nicholas
Sociable, | return many thanks for the
kind wishes expressed for my future wei
fare, in your resolutions, as adopted on
receiving my resignation. ]. E, p.

Major CulbertsOn, principal agent Of
the American Fur Company, DIR. Arnold,
surgeon; and Gen. Redfeld, agent for
the Crows, Oshawines and Blackfoot lndi-
ans, passed the night at our wharf, aboard
the steamer Omaha on Thursday night
