Claim Troubles.

Quite an excitement was created last
week, in that portion of our county known
asr''the Island, by the forcibIe expulsion
of a Mr.. league from his claim, and the
burning of his house.
1t appears, so far as we can learn, that
a difficulty arose between league and a
man named Edwards, in regard to the
possession of a claim occupied by the for
mer; and that Edwards proceeded, with
a number of his friends, to tear down the
house of league, likewise aemolishing
the cabin of widow lady adjoining, and
then set fire to the whole. Some four
teen arrests have beenmade and the case
is undergoing legal examination at this
place. We have only heard one side Of
the story and are not acquainted with the
full particulars, consequently will fOrbear
any comments upon the subject until the
matter is settled before the proper legal
tribunal. +. + ID go

Hiram was born in Winchester county,
and early in life entered the Navy, where
he has gradually worked up his way
through the grades of Midshipman, Lieu

ever been one of the most efficient and
valued officers in the service, and Gov
eminent a short time since showed It's APP
probation of the fact, by appointing him
to the command of the Home squadron,
which he now holds.
We observe by the Pro-Slavery papers
that the Commodore exceeded his in

Arnold's friends against John Paulding.
Nevertheless, history and public opinion
justified the one, and %ustifies the other.

Pufs and PUTTING.

The editor of the MemahG VALLEY
Journal, "a paper devoted to agriculture
and the fine-arts, after eating an indi-
gestible dinner, and necessarily feeling
secured in spirit, takes great exceptions
to an article which lately appeared inthis
paper, wherein were enumerated a num-
Der of facts in regard to our city. He
says ttoo much putting is done in the
West. 1t has made too many towns va
luable to the proprietors at the expense
of misled dupes"
All this is true in the main, and if
applied to the village said paper emanates
from would still hold good. But when
applied to the City of Brownyiile is not
only untrue, but shows an envious dispo-
sition and a malicious desire to injure
this place which we are sorry to see in
our contemporary.
There has been some disposition on the
part OF Nemaha City to consider herself
a rival of Brownyille, which has been a
piece of amusing vanity easily looked
over, and eve participated in by a
single individual in our own city. All we
have to say is hat the "dupes" who were
induced to settle in Omaha by the repre-
~ iL - -
sensations of her newspaper publishers,
are of the same class as those influenced
in a like manner to make their homes
here. And those who, under similar cir
cumstances, cast their fortunes in Nebras-
ka city are in all respects alike with
those who were "duped' to building up
the place inwhich we now reside.
We are not much in flavor of the prac-
tice adopted by many publishers Of news
papers Of quilting" everything and any
thing which may afford the subject of
a paragraph, and in all operations in that
line, have ~endeavored to confne ourselves
to such matters as could be recommended
with a clear conscience. This rule has
however been departed from on two occa-
sions, wherein,'a lat the earnest solicitation
of the editor Of the Journal, we ''puffed"
both him and his paper, and was a de-
parture from truth highly culpable and for
which we feel forgiveness is indeed ne
cessary. He says"puffs are e%xaggeration
Of praise" but doubtless thinks no praise
bestowed upon himself can by any posi-
bic means reach the point where it becomes
exaggerated. And if "%pufing'' is so Of
%fensive to the said individual as to exclude
it from his columns, he has certainly
adopted the less reputable practice Of
abusing everything which is not either
directly or indirectly an advantage to
himself, his paper orhis town.

Now, as is the case in the present in

Melancholy Affair.

On Wednesday night, 3Oth uIt., a very
%deplorable affair occurred in Clark coun-
ty, Ind. A Miss Prather was married to
a cousin at her fathers residence. Some
of the young men, acquaintanees of the
bride and bridegroom came to the house
forthe purpose of ~charivaring the parties.
The father of the parties asked them to
desist, and they complied with the request.
But shortly after they returned, and the
bride being on horseback for the purpose
of going to the home of the bridegroom, the
animal, becoming frightened, threw the
bride of, and she had her neck broken,
causing instant death.-B,glingtoa Hank

Importation Of Arabian Horses.

We were shown six head of pure Ara
bian blood-stallions, brought to this city
by Captain Lane, late of the combined
American and English companies engag-
ed in raising the sunken vessels-of war in
the harbor of Sebastopol. These noble
animals are directfrom the Cars cavalry
stables and were raised expressly for the
imperial stud. These stables are the Won
der and astonishment of all those who
nae obtained admission to them. The
enclosure OF stone walls and iron frames
covers an area of ten miles in length by
Eve in width. The stables are twelve
feet square each, while in the centre of
this vast building is an arena where an
army of 5000 head of the finest horses
in the world are broke, trained, and ex-
ercised every day byanother army of the
most skillful trainers, jockies, &C., IN the
Emperor's dominions. BY an imperial
decree sales are permitted to be made
when a certain number of animals are
in the stables, of which Captain Lane took
advantage, as of the advantage of his re-
lations with the government-thus max
ing an invaluable addition to the Ameri-
can stud, for which he deserves, and
doubtless will receive, the thanks of the
country at large. They cost $4,000,
which was much below their actual value,
and are pairs of gray, dark bay, and
black. They stand about fifteen hands
high, and exhibit all the fine points to be
expected from their descent.-NeW York

Poisonous LIQUORS!

The following article, which we clip
from the St. Joseph Gazette, will be
equally applicable to this region of cOun-
try Theefeet of the uer sod among
us,iso Of the most starp nature and seems
to hold the victim in FEARFUL CLUTCHES
beyond the possibility6f escape. Thre
will however come a day of retributiOl,
and an awful reckoning will be required
from these wholesale murderers of bod
and soul
There is now a general and deep in
dignation against the manufacturers and
dealers in drugged liquors. The publi-
cans who have been engaged in the eri-
minal and ~murderous work of manufactu-
ring the various brands Of liquor fromthe
rankest poisons have proceeded one step
toe far, and have thus aroused an indig-
nation which must speedily rob them of
their deadly occupation. From slightly
impregnating their liquors with poison
they have come to make them almost
wholly Of Poisons. The retailers Of these
drugged spirits are generally supposed to
be in total ignorance of the quality of the
liquors they are selling, and the guilt
therefore rests with the worse than MUIR
derers who actually mix the poisons with
the draugbt which is to craze the brain of
the unsuspecfing imbiber.
The evil has indeed gotten to be one
of grave importance, calling for the most
rigid investigation. 3 We have recently
heard of instances of countrymen coming
to this city, taking a single drink which
worked SO powerfully upon the brain that
they were utterly robbedof all conscious
ness for many hours. We haveso al heard
of an instance of this kind with regard to
a gentleman who is noted for his pru-
dence and temperance in drink. A man
who becomes intoxicated on some of the
liquor which is now retailed, is an object
truly terrible to look upon. He does not
get drunk. but crazy--mad, a few hours
of excessive indulgence not unfrequently

ror of horrors, mania pOtu.

As soon as Marshal Ryndersh had finish
ed reading the paper, he called the Gen,
and his Counsel into his private office
He then stated that he (Gen. Walker)
would have to consider himself in his Gus
tody, but he should permit him to 90 on
his parole Of honor, to which the General
consented.
What the upshot of the matter will be
no one can tell, but. it is almost certain
that he will be released, and Of a natural
consequence viii fit out still another ex-
edition. Col. Anderson still holds Cas-
tillo and has Walkers orders to retain his
position as long as possible, while large
bodies Of recruits are being formed with
a view to proceed to his assistance.
Capt. Chartard was recalled for not
arresting Walker, and Commodore Paul
ding suffered the same fate for capturing
him. This, at first view, may seem para

NIcaragna.

On the l4th or last November the
Fashion sailed from Mobile. Ala, carry
ing the second 6lIbustering army, under
the command of Gen. Walker, to the Nj
caraguan shores. Everybody, those I'M
favor and those opposed to the movement,
waited ~anxiously to hear the result and
expectation was upon tip-toe as to the Sc
queI. After suffering many hardships
consequent upon the unseaworthiness of
the Fashion, Gen. Walker succeeded in
landing at Punta Arenas and dispatch
ing Col. Anderson to take possession of
Castillo, proceeded to fortify himself at
the first named place. Anderson took
Castillo, and also succeeded in capturing
four steamers of the Costa Ricans. This
was cheering news 10 the ~fllibusters, and
50 far everything promised well. But,
alas, for the fallacy Of all human hopes,
Ion the 9th of December, the U. S.
steamer Wabash anchored OF Walkers
camp, followed by the British steamers
Brunswick and Leopard, which on the
succeeding day we're joined by the U. S.
steamer Fulton. Commodore Paulding
then proceeded to surround the camp of
Walker and summoned him to surrender.
This he did and his parole of honor taken
to report himself to Capt. Rynders, U. S.
Marshal at New York. sst .o bl a1t
AS will beseen by the following article
clipped from the N Y. Express, he has
complied with the conditions of his pa
role on the morning of the 26th ult.
This morning. Gen. Walker, as it was
expected he would do, delivered himself
over to United States Marshal Rynders,
in whose custody he now is, although al
lowed his liberty on his parole of honor.
Quite a number of persons called to see
the General this morning at his quarters.
He received his friends III a very cordial
manner. Considerable conversation pas
sed between them upon the Generals
sudden return, all expressing much sur.
prise at the course Of our naval forces
1t was generally remarked that this in
reference with him would probably do
much to strengthenh his position, andin the
South a warm feeling will spring up in
his future behalf.
After some time spent in conversation
the general stated that he desired to pro-
coed to deliver himself up 10 Marshal
Rynders, according to promises made
Commodore Paulding. At half past ten
o'clock Gen. Walker, accompanied by
Gen. Wheat, took a carriage and started
for the marshal's office, at which place
they arrived a few moments before the
appointed hour.
Capt. Rynders, who had bee" informed
of the Generals intended visit, was on
hand, seeming very anxious to take the
General once more by the hand and give
him a hearty welcome.
As Walker entered the marshaPs Office.
he saluted Marshal Rynders, at the same
time handing him a package. Captain
Rynders took the General by the hand,
saying:
GAS Captain Rynders, / am happy to
see you; but as United States Marshal
cannot say that.'
The General thanked him and then
took a seat, when he waited for the read
ing Of the communication to Rynders.
Marshal Rynders as soon as he let 90
of Walker, took the package and proceed
ed to his private Office, where he broke
the seal. The following were its con-
