THE PACIFIC HOTEL INVESTIGATION At Sr.
LoUIs.-This protracted affair was at last con.
cluded on Tuesday evening, BY the discharge Of
Taylor, against whom nothing tangible could be
proved. The suspicious circumstances against
him, vanished one after another as the exami.
nation proceeded, and we're traceable entirely
to the vain-glorious Boosting and unmitigated
mendacity Of the accused. Having nearly lied
his neck into halter-0r scOrse-it IS to be
hoped that he will now cultivate taste for
veracity.-St. Louis News.
DESTROYING SMUT IN SEED WHEAr.-I have
plan that | pursue for killing smut in wheat,
which has nevor t; lied when have tried it,
Take, say Eve bushels Of wheat, and put it in :
box; then put one peck of unslaked lime in .
large iron kettle. Pour water on; build fire
under the kettles boil It well; pour while boiling
on the wheat. Stir it up we'll, and cover it
until ne1t day, and it will kill the smut. No
one need be afraid to try it, as have bad
wheat stand forty-eight hours otter it was lined,
without injury.-Cor. Prairie Farmer.
BURLINGTON AND MISSOURI RIVER RAILROAD.
1t is with pleasure that we call attention to
an adjourned meeting held in this place, on
Monday evening last, to take into consideration
the importance Of commencing the work on this
end Of the Road, the coming season. All that
our citizens want is to have the chance to apply
their donations and subscriptions on this end Of
the road, provided the Company will furnish .
engineer to fix the grade and super
intend the work, and it will be commenced i'm.
mediately. The meeting appointed Judge 4. G.
Bosbyshell and w. 5. Graft to be at the next
annual meeting Of the board of directors, at
Burlington. A better selection could not have
been made to represent our interests. At the |
meeting on Friday, q committee was appointed |
to attend like meeting, at Plattsmouth, on Sa-
consisting Of Col. Sharp,
and others. We are informed that the citizens |
Of Cass county, at that meeting, resolved to |
furnish one half the amount necessary to grade |
the road from the river to this place. The cit |
zens of Platts.nouth see the impe ertance Of this
and are determined to prove them |
selves able for the task. Let the work be com |
menced.-Glenwood Union.
Thirty persons have united with the Chris |
tians since the commencement oftheir protract-
ed meeting at this place, two weeks ago. About |
The same number have joined the Presbytsrians |
