HIGH TINES IN NEBRAsKA.-The Nebraska
Legislature appears to be composed of a set
of regular fisticufiing backwoods-men. On
the Sd ult. the members Of the Assembly hay-
ing each received $40, bought lot of cham
paigne, and got on a regular "bender." After
The liquor had all been disposed of, they re-
turned to the hall to resume business, many OF
them so s.dead drunk that they could not sit
upright on their seats. Soon difficulty rose
between the Speaker and gentleman, which
commenced by vigorous application of a
cane to the back of the Speaker, and was con-
tinued for some time, during which all the
members VITO were able, Joined in the fight.

after the Indian habit, to take care OF the rest.

Private letters received from Nebraska state
that Col. Samuel W. Black, one of the
Supreme Judges of that Territory, was Sc
verely wounded with gun in the hands of
a friend, a few days since. 1t appears, that
accompanied by another gentleman, he was
out huntiug on the prairie, and passing into
a cIump of bushes with a view of driving some
prairie hens from their cover, his comrade,
who did not observe his presence, discharged
his gun twice in succession, the first load-va

MEDICAL QUACKs AND INPosTE.s.-It is a
lamentable fact that people generally are ever
ready to avail themselves, when sick, of the
advice of quacks and impOsters. Almost
every itinerating humbus that comes along
either of the old country or our oUn-getS
some anxious dcluded patient in his clutches,
and after ioccing him to the utmost tarthing,
suddenly decamps for other parts, TO pursue
still further his swindling operations. How
long will people suffer themselves to be thus
cheated and deceived ? How much longer
will they consent to have sDr. So-and-so, re-
Gently from England - or Professor somebody
else, formerly of some State Pemitcntiary,
practice upon their credulity, and finally run
off with their pOckct-books and contents /?
1tinerant quack humbuggcry in medicine is
perhaps more prevalent than in any other
profession or calling. Persons, when sick or
diseased, are ready and anxious to try almost
anything they may hear of, that will be likely
in the smallest degree to afford them relief.
Hence these multiplied impostions. If peo-
pile would consult physician of known re-
spectabiIity and standing, one of their own
frllow-citizcns, who has made medicine and
the human system the study of his life, they
would be more likely to have their health re-
stored and their money saved while they
would at the same time, greatly contribute
towards driving all pretending characters from
their assumed calling, to some honest trade
or business for livelihood. 1t should be OBJ
served general rule, applicable in all cases
and without exception, that a physician OF
note or skill is never compelled to travel from
place to place, hanging his shingle on the
pearest tree or fence, in order to obtain prac-
ticc. His reputation and fame may travel,
but he is permanently located somewhere,
supported by the confidence and patronage
arhich his ability and knowledge are sure to
bring him.

LotFERs.-Habitual ioafers are one of the
greatest curses that can af1ict community.
Their example is pernicious; the loss Of their
labor and skill is draw back to prosperity
and business; and as they must cat and wear
clothes, they are bound to subsist of the in
dustrious part of the people procuring what
they need by system of stJeremy Diddling." F"
by buying on credit and never paying, by false
pretences, or stealing. You will find them of
ten, as well or better dressed than those who
are Industrious, seeking prominence on pub
lie occasions, and more ofiicious in public al
fairs than those who pay all the public charges.
They are the first to make commotion about,
and take the lead in affairs in which of all
others they have the least interest, thereby
Bringing trouble and cost on those who have
interests at stake and who must pay expenses.
ssThe devil finds some mischief still,
For idle hands TO do 20
and watchful and jealous eye should be kept
on habitual and persistent idlers, who, having
the ability to engage in business, prefer TO
spend their time in loafing around, ritiating
others by their example.
