FROM NEBRASKA.
Correspondence of the 1utctllsencer.I

Messrs. Elitors:-The good citizens of Ne
braska are now having foretaste of Winter
For several weeks past the weather has been
quite rainy until last Thursday, the wind veer-
ed to Northwest, the mud which had hitherto
been nuisance suddenly became congealed.-
The snow fell to the depth of one or two inches
and everything betokened the setting in of
Winter. The Missouri is nearly blocked up
with the floating ice The old settlers are now
expecting an early setting in of Winter. The
Legislature has nov adjourned after stormy
session during which term there were several
bills passed ofimrortarce to the interests of the
Territory. A criminal code was passed which
is based upon the Illinois code-aso School
Law based upon the Ohio School Law. Sever
al minor bills were passed of local character.
Several Charters were granted to ferries, &C.
Agriculture and Horticulture societies have been
incorporated. The one for this County (Otao)
is very liberal one. The first fair was held
the 18th ofSeptcmber at Nebraska City. Like
all new countries, the fair was not very largely
attended but the stock exhibited was very cred
liable to the county. There will probably be a
much greater interest taken in the fairs during
the coming year. The vegetable productions of
Nebraska can safely challenge all the neighbour
ing States with regard to size as we'll as quality,
There can be no better potatoes raised in any
country than were produced on Nebraska soil the
past summer. Merchants are buying them in
exchange for goods at 2Octs per bushel and
shipping them to st. Louis. There is an over
plus of corn and potatoes both this season.
Many of the merchants are buying the corn and
storing it away with the expectation that there
will be a good demand in the spring, basing
their calculations upon the probable rush to the
Cherry Greek Mines, and think from present
indications that there will be a general stampede
to the new Eldorado from this city and the ad.
jacent country
That there is gold there cannot be doubt
as parties of responsibility who have gone, from
this city write back to their friends that they
are doing we'll making from 81 to So per day,
and with proper tools rs every California miner
knows they can easily realize twice that
amount Expectation is on tip-toe here and
there is scarcely mau who can leave that does
not intend to go to the "diggins" in the spring.

The regular advertisement in the journal of
Commerce, of fashions in Paris and where to
find them, announces waist-buckIes in favor
with the ladies there. Dresses, we are told, are
made with two deep Aounces, or with a single
founce very deep and surmounted by number
of narrow ones. This style of trimming is a
Renaissance ofthe first empire, and harmonizes
with the plain waists and large pulled or slashed
sleeves, which are worn.

AN extraordinary trial has opened in the first
civil chamber in Paris Twelve homeopathic
doctors have commenced an action for 10000
francs damages from an allopathic medical
journal, for an attack upon their system of
medicine. 1t is the virtues of that system which
they desire to establish, and not pccuniary
claim, for they promise to give the money to the

A new discovery in light is about to be intro
duced in London, which, if successful, it is
claimed will revoiutionize all our existing meth
DDS of illumination The raw material may be
cheap gas made from the commonestlmaterials
and the increase of brilliancy is obtained by
passing it through new medium which is al
legged to have all the advantages of lime withou:
its destrucdbiIity. The calculations put forth
are, that light equal to that of 500 street
lamps, and lasting 10 hours, can be obtained at
a cost equal to ST. cents, while, for domestic
purposes, one jet, equalling in effect 8 lbs. of
candles, and costing only eight cents for twelve
hours, will give light fully equal to three ar
gard lamps and double that Of any ordinary gas
burner.

Social LIFE AT v

Social LIFE AT WAsnINGToN.-There will be
good many accustomed faces missing this
Winter. Tho Russian Minister, Mr.. Stocckl,
and his wife have gone to st. Petersburg, with
the hope of getting his pay increased to the grade
ofthe English mission, that is, $50, 900 year,
instead of $4,000 They did not aspire to
entertain beyond the usual formalities. Baron
Evolt, the Prussian Minister, will be absent I'M
til Spring or Summer, but he will not be so
much missed as far as contribution to social
enjoyment is concerned. The hospitable resi-
dence Of Senior Albuquerque, the Minister from
Brazil, will be closed this Winter, owing to his
absence in Europe. But the British Embassy
will be opened usual, though it is said Lady
Napier will return to England in the Spring. to
superintend the education of her children The
French Minister is still perchcd on the heights
of Georgetown, safely secluded from any pres
sure of society, and necessarily relieved from
its expensive exactions. Gen. Robles, the
Mexican Minister, is still lingering near Vera
Cruz, waiting for admission into his own coun-
try. Senior Tasara, the Minister from Spain,
lives quietly and learns English. The rest Of
the corps are quartered in unpretending odg-
ings, and do their most active service during
the season." when the proverbial hospitality

ages:
There is not city, there is scarcely town
ship, which does not number among its inhabi-
tants, women who have married on very short
acquaintance, only to be abused, deserted, and
left burden and life long sorrow to the fami
lies in which they were born and reared, and
which they most imprudently and improperly
deserted to share the fortunes of relative stran-
gers. If young ladies would realize how gross
ly indicate as well as culpably reckless such
marriages appear in the eyes Of the Observing
they surely would forbear. A years thorough
acquaintance, with the most crcumstantial ac-
counts, from disintcresed and reliable witnesses,
of the anteccdents from, childhood, are the very
least guarantee which any woman who realizes
what marriage is, will require Of stranger
Even then, if her parents are not fully satisfied
as well as herself, she should still hesitate. Mar
riage is an undertaking which no delay can be
so hazardous as undue precipitation.

(which was the greatest evil-n soothing wife

cause they did anything, (whcther they could

scoding wife; why Mr.. President, I'd rather
bear the CHATTER of hammer and stones and TWEEN

that the Paris police annals have furnished late,

these visits, and after gaining the heart Of tho
