.BreNnfine khead:

and as II was some ten months since our
last visit, aud having afew. spare hours
we employed our TIME In prOspeeting, OF
rather IN looking up old ACKNOWLEDGMENT
noticing the changes inthe town and sur
rounding country. We found our old and
always agreeable friend and brother. of
The quill. she Hon. Roba w, Furnas, of the
.7dUTtiser, at bis sanctum, locking ashaleI
and hearty As heidi the first time we saw
him. and, Judging from his verypleasant
and agreeable disposition, there Is no man
in the country enjoys Efebetter and takes
the troubles. consequent upon a public life
more c5oily than .bIr. Furnas. Being
among the first pioneers Of the country
blessed wilma good constitution, fine tai
ent and more than an ordinary amount Of
energy, he has done more for the town and.
county Of Nemaha than any other man In
the county, and we are pleased to say that
the people have rewarded him for his Ia
bors BE- giving him a liberal patronage 10
his paperand by sending him twice 70 the
Legislature Of the. Territory. We also
met or old friends Col. Nixon and CD,
Smith, Esq, one the Register and the
ether Receiver az the Land 0mcefor that
portion e. the Territory, both Of whom
have given general satisfaction IN the dis
charge Of the very important duties other
respective. offices. We would Ike TO mem
ton many ethers that gave Us. a cordial
shake cf..the hand and. babe us a hearty
welcome 10 The hospitalities Of their vii
lage, but tins fprbids, a present.
THERE'S che feature IN regard 10 the
business transactions OF Br0wnviile that
We were surprised at, but which certainly
is quite commemorate ea:the part Of the
merchants; AID that is the large amount
Of trading that is being done there by
MissouTians living On the opposite sideof
the river, and II is not confined to those
residing on the Missouri Bottom, bat ex-
tends over a large portion OF the country.
We roticsd R.. Hawkins, J. VI. Golden
and R. Dunlap there, from Irish Grove,
each haTing a wagon lead Of bacon and
produce, ard on asking why the drove
through Rockport and came eight miles
across TO trade at Brownville. they said
they got 4 better price for their produce
and bought goods cheaper at Brownviile
than they could at Rockport.
Our old friend d. j. Martin, formerly
of ROckport, has opened a large stock of
goods at BrownEille, and seems to be get
ting goodly portion of the Missouri trade.
We can account for this In part when we
remember that David is a fine looking
bachelor, on the sunny-side Of thirty years,
very accommodating to the ladies', but es-
pecially to the mothers of good looking
daughters, hoping no doubt by this means
10 obtain the favors of both mother and
daughter, and by this means get a pair Of
white plump arms entwined around his
neck as an agreeable comforter against
the chilling blasts of the coming Winter.
We hope you may, David.
But we wishto speak more particularly
Of that in which all travellers as well as
the citizens are more deeply interested,
and that is the Brownville Hotel owned
and kept by Messrs. Wheeler & Rainey.
This is decidedly the best kept hotel in the
Territory, without any exception, and we
speak knowingly, for we have stopped at all
the principal hotels In the Territory. The
house is large and conveniently arranged,
the rooms are neatly furnished, the beds
are clean and comfortable, the servants
are accommodating, the table is,well sup.
piled with all the varieties that the season
and market affords and everything is got
up IN good taste, the charges are mode.
rate. and quiet and good order seems tc
be the ruling motto. In short we would
say to the travelling community, that YOU
viii find the Brownville Hotel a comfort
atle stepping place.
The growth Of the town is not rapidba
permanent. The citizens are generally
honest and Industrious. and Brownvilie i
destined to be q good point for business
for. a large population.
The county is the best improved, ans
IS predicting more than any other county
IN the Territory. There has been some
seventy thousand bushels Of corn sold IL
the county the past season. This is th'
surplus crop after wintering their stock
and we noticed several more farms being
opened this Spring. We sci Nemahi
down as The banner county.
The above compliment to our City, our
self and others we. take from the Forres
! City .Aoaitor. Mr.. VASATTA, the editor
f has been spending a week in our plac
latelp. While we acknowledge the com
pliment 10 ourself. we also do the same i
: behalf of others mentioned.
! We may be permitted to say that tn
Brownville House, under its new mana
gers, is fast becoming one of the mo:
: popular Hotels in the country. All wh
Z partake of the Inequalities Of RAINEY {
WHEELER speak in the highest terms {
