| ApvAxclNG.--During the past year
much improvement in the social ana
religious way has taken place at Nc
Gregor. Societies of various kinds
have been established, churches have
been organized, able ministerial aid
secured and very evident advance is
observable in the tone of social inter
course. We have frequent evening
meetings for worship, singing, sewing
and for other laudablc purposes. A
very competent choir now adds its
music with first class Melodeon to
the attraction of the religious exercises.
Our young men and maidens, as well
as those not so young, are taking
great interest in the Preachers aid
society,"" an organization which is
aliascd Sewing Society by West
ern people. We know nothing of the
amusements attending the weekly
meetings of the latter institution"
never having seen the inside of a
temple devoted exclusively to the
needle. We learn however that, like
the corps Editorial, the Society has

WAvERLY.-The citizens of Waverl,
are agitating the subject of building a
bridge at that place, across the Cedar
River, to supply the place of the one
which they lost by the frcshet last
winter. We learn that various plans
and propositions have been presented
and costs estimated all the way from
six to ten thousand dollars. Mr.. S.
Wiggin, bridge builder of this place,
has shown lis plan which he has been
requested to submit to the people of
Waverly, and which we feel confident
will suit them. His plan is to build a
bridge of single span, $50 feet long
and 20 feet wide, the ends to rest on
substantial stone abutments. The es.
timated cost is Sl4 per linear foot, OF
$500 for the entire bridge. Mr.. w.
will contract to build the bridge at
this estimate. The plan is somewhat
similar to that of the bridge which he
is building here, though rather more
expensive and better. With our
bridge every one appears to be fully
satisfied. Thus far we have not heard
the first word of complaint or distrust.
We bespeak for Mr. Wiggin and his
plan a candid hearing and examination
by our Waverly neighbors.

MIR. Coradon p. Hubbard, of this
county, has left in our office some sam.
pies of Goa! and chalk lately found up.
on his farm while digging a well. The
coal is pronounced by good judges to
be of excellent quality, and the chalk
we know TO be so. Mr.. Hubbard saws
that an excellent quality of red chalk
was also found, together with mine
raj or fire-proof paint of various colors.
These minerals were found on the
West half of the Northeast quarter of
Section Is, Township SO North of
range Is West, about six miles North
of st. Charles. The samples of coal
and chalk may be seen at our Office.

Nebraska Wildcats.

The equanimity of our usually quiet
town was somewhat startled on Sun
day morning by finding handbills post.
cd up cautioning the people against
taking bills purporting to be issued by
the Brownville Bank & Land Compa
ny, at Omaha City, Nebraska. 1t wa:
'ntimated that large supplies of this
money (?) had been brought into town
and efforts would probably be made
to palm it off upon the people. We
learn from the Chicago Tribune that a
banker of that city lately sent a hun
dred dollars of these bills to Omaha to
be redeemed in something that would
pass current in Chicago, even if dis
count of fifty per cent must be made
upon them. The following letter was
received in reply:
OMAHA. Feb. Goth 1853
II. ID. COLvIS, ESQ. dear Sir: | return
you herewith sos of the within Brownville
money and 81 so in money current in Chicago,
for which gave So of the Brownvile money
at so per cent, rs per instructions. There are
no such men rs the signers of the notes here.
Nothing is known of it, and nothing has been
heard of the concern here before. 1t can't be
anything but great swindle. l can of course
do nothing with it here. The So l sold to a
banker as a curiosity.
would advise you to refuse all Nebraska
money, as it is nearly all in bad rcputc, even
at heme. Yours, truly,
c. C. WooDwoRrH.
In addition to the above, we copy
the following from the Omaha Ne
braskian:
"There is no such Institution as the Brown
vile Bank in this city neither have any such
men rs purport to be the President and Cashier
of the concern ever resided here 1t is evident
ly bold swindle, and how any bankers could
be imposed upon by the trash passes our COM
prehension. From the numbers of the bills
1t is evident that not less than seventy or sew
enty five thousand dollars of the stuff has been
issued. We wish sharpers would date their
frauds from some other country than Ne
braska.''
A Chicago Bank Note List puts
down these bills as all right. The
inference is that they originated in
that highly moral city.

Judge Douglas has been confined
to his house for several days by Sc
we're sickness, but will resume his
place in the Senate some time next
week. He pronounces the reports as
to an intention to resi- his seat, to-
tally without foundation, and assures
his friends that he intends to fight the
battle in which he is now engaged ;
that he will not be driven from his DO
sition by the threats or frowns of pow.
er, nor moved from the purpose to
which his life has been devoted, by in
ducements proffered from any quarter.
He says that with him it is matter
of principle which he will maintain at
all hazards.

Mr.. Kelly, of this town, proposes to
erect new dam across the Cedar
River in place of his old one which
was somewhat injured by the freshet
last winter. We have seen a draft
for the new dam made, by Mr.. Wiggin,
the architect who is now engaged in
building our new bridge. The plan is
similar to that of the celebrated Hol-
yoke dam across the Connecticut Riv-
er in Massachusetts, and is believed
to be upon the most approved scientif-
ic principles. The cost is estimated
at about four thousand dollars. When
constructed this dam will afford water
power sufficient to propel a large
number of mills and almost any amount
of machinery. Capitalists wishing
to engage in manufacturing should
not overlook the water-power at this
place.

Spring.

Joyous, indeed, is all nature at the
return Of spring. Robins and blue
birds charm us with their sweet songs
from the topmost branches of the trees
each lovely morning -the prairie
chickens and other members of the
fcathercd family engage in chilling
and cooling the gophers leave their
underground homes, where they have
slept needless of the frosts of winter,
and skip about as gay and happy as
if it were always spring. Lift up thy
head responding man ! witness the
gayety that surrounds you, and be
thou also happy.
To look upon the boundless sky, to
breathe the pure air, and to see the
gems of loneliness and beauty start
ing from the embryo of nature, and
not feel your breast expand with graft
tude toward that Power who is all
goodness, purity and love, bespcaks a
heart callous to the nobler attributes
of mans nature, base, groveling, and
scarce above the beast, which halls
spring with joy only because it brings
him fresher and greener heritage. To
bow with the spirits alteration, to
the deity, and not feel the kindling
emotions Of love and kindness toward
the creatures that he has constituted.
is as impossible as it would be for us
to create the sympathies which gov
ern our spiritual being within our own
breasts.

News from Salt Lake.

The Council Bluffs Bugle of the 3D.
inst. says Mr.. Wingate just arrived
from Salt Lake with dates to Jan. %,
reports no snow in Salt Lake Valley,
and very little on the mountains. He
came by route known only to west
crn mountainecrs, by which horsemen
in single file can pass an army undis-
covered. The route passes between
perpendicular rocks for IL miles, and
in many places is only a few feet
wide, completely covered by rock
roof.
The Mormons are manufacturing
small cannon, with percussion locks
and telescope sights, to carry two
pound ball with as much certainty as
a common rife hundred and twenty
yards, also making five hundred re-
volvers per week, and manufacturing
coarse powder for mining purposes.
A skirmish occurred between the
Mormons and the Picket Guard of the
army, in which two of the former, and
four of the latter were reported killed.
Young is willing that the federal Off
GERS should come into the Territory
and enter upon their duties, but if the
army attempts to enter the valley,
they will be resisted. On the oath of
January, Young preached to 5000
people, all of whom rose when Young
requested those in favor of fighting
the troops, to rise.
