the Platte Valley, ten miles from the
mouth of the Platte River, overlooking
the Valley and the River; and some hun
dred feet above high water mark. The
River is visible several miles both on the
east and west Of the town, and is filled
with Islands, that are covered with a dense
forest Of timber. On the opposite side
of the River, the steep and irregular
bluffs Of southern Nebraska, approach TO
the Rivers edge. and are covered with
hardwood timber. On the east, 10 miles
distant, the range of bluffs, that skirt the
Missouri on its eastern bank, rearing their
lofty Leads h~eavenward, are distinctly
visible. On the north and west a vast
prairie, dotted with groves, stretches far
away, and is lost to the eye in the shad-
owy distance. The whole scenery. pre-.
SCENTS a panoramic view, unsurpassed by
any that we have seen in Nebraska.

cultural country, which gives it grea, I'M

MYSTERIOUS DIsAPPEARANcE.-Mr.
Thomas Sarvis. who was formerly enyag-
ed as a lourneyman. primer in Omaha and
Bellevue, but who has resided in Column
buS, Plate County, since last fall, left this
City a few weeks since on his way home.
He has not been heard from by his Friends
and II is feared that some accident has be-
fallen hun. Mr. S. Is personally known
TO US as an cstlmabIe person, and we
hope these fears may not be confirmed.
The following is al extract from a pri-
ate letter written to Us by a friend at Co.
luInbus:
IL write 10 you to inquire whether you
know anything about Mr.. Sarvls. He
started on last Thursday a week ago, be-
fore the election. from the house Of the
Fox brUhers, between Fremont and Fon-
%trnelle, on Maple creek, saying he intend
ed to go to Columbus direct That is the
last that has been heard of hi a.. Raw
hide creek VAS very high at that time,
and he had to wade 1t on the route he
was taking. We are afraid he was
Drowned. In case you should not have
any Information in regard Ia him, will you
please call upon hun through your paper,
asking him to let his friends in Columbus
hear from him. II is the only way we
can arrive at any certainty of his fate"

Mr.. Sarvis left this city. Wednesday

was a candidate for Representative to the
Legislature, IN the Platte Valley District,
and was untiring in his efforts to secure
an election, and as he was last heard
from, on Thursday, four days previous to
the election, IL seems more than probable
that he has met with an unlimely end.

gave him a much older look. He came
to this Territory a year ago last sprlrg,
aud has worked in this Office, al various

within half a mile of Columbus. where
he has resided since that time, with the
exception Of few months, during the lat.
ter part Of last winter, and the following
spring, when he vas employed in this
office, aud had become much interested in
the future growth and prosperity of the

able ability, and together with his indorn-
liable perseverance, and answering in.
t"grity. he would undoubtedly have made
his mark, in the affairs Of the future
State of Nebraska, and won for himself
the respect and esteem OF his fellow men.
We hoP4 measures will be taken to as
certain, if possible, his fate. Any in.
formation relative to him, will be thank.
