renarkable, and no doubt very grateful to

dsy evening last the house was filed to
overaovipz At an early hour, and many
were compelled to leave. not being able to
find even standing room. We noticed
among the audience number of ladies'
from Sergean.'s Bluff aud gentlemen from
Nebraska.
The lecture was delivered By J. E. c.
HosKlSs, Esq, on Geology, and in point
Of scientific research, eloquence and beauty
Of diction was fully equal to any Of the
previous lectures before the Lyceum. The
subject was treated in a very learned and
able manner, and the enthusiastic applause
with which j. was received demonstrated
the admiration of the audience. To write
q review that would DO even mesgre jus.
tice TO tie lecture would require more
time and space than We can spare, there.
fore we will not attempt it.
The discussion Of the question, "1s the
Negro the descendant Of Adam? ?" was
well sustained by both the affirmative and
negative.

Dixon County, ". r.

We received call one day last week
from Hon. Mr.. DENTON, County Judge Of
Dixon county, N. T.. who informs US tha,
this new county bids fair to be ore of the
wealthiest and most populous in northern
Nebraska. 1t embraces within its borders
the valleys of the Aoway creek and its
tributaries, noted for the beauty and fertil
ity Of their soil. These valleys, Judge ID.
informs US, are already comparatively well
settled, and upon the vacant portions
claims are constantly being made by prac.
teal farmers. The Judge also speaks on
Enthusiastically Of the advantages and pros
poets Of Ponca City, which is situated in
the heart Of this elegant farming section.
1t already contains many handsome and
substantial improvements, and prepare
tons are in progress for the erection OF
numerous buildings the coming season.
We have no doubt that with the efforts OF
enterprizing citizens snch as Hon. ID. I.
BRAMBLE, Judge Denton, J. p. WEBSTER,
Esq, and others, Ponca City is bound TO
60 ahead. We wish it, and the county OF
which it is the shire town, abundant pros.

The Condition Of Mexico.

The late mail from Mexico represents
the condition of that country as being By
no means improved. The rival parties
still continue their bostilities sgainst each
other. The present tendency Of feeling
seems to be that Zu!oags and his party
look for sid from the French % Spanish.
while Juarez and he Libera'is,s csD hops

The French Minister is said to be the ru!-
ing spirit at the capital. A scheme is on
foo, by which i; is hoped that through bis
aid and the support Of the French and
Spanish fleets, Zaloags may reap the rev
enues from foreign imports, Of which he
is at present deprived, as Juarez has pos
session Of the great seapor.s Of the coun-
try. The plan is to build up rival port
near Vera Cruz, to be called Mocombo.

A large amount Of specie. 5000, 900 or

Of Mexico, waiting a shipmen. to Europe
for the payment of goods, and lis trans.
portation is attended with great risk. The
English minister says the command Of the
army should be taken from Miramon. and
if his request is refused, declares that he
will demand hi. passports. 1t is almost
impossible for Zuloaga to sccede to this
request, for Miramon is one Of the few
successful generals Of bis party. On his

Two Horse Thieves Hung.

Several weeks ago three or four horses
were stolen near Fort Calhoun, Nebraska,
BY two men named Harvey Bradsn and
Jack Daily. They were pursued and ar
rested in Shelby county in this State taken
to Omaha and put in jail. On Saturday
night, s,h inst, about fifty citizens of
Florence went to the Jail during the alb
sence Of the Sheriff. obtained the key of
the prisoners cell, and took them there
from, informing them that they were going
20 take them to Washington county for
trial. They were placed in wagon, bu,
instead Of being taken to Washington
county for trial, the mob took them in the
vicinity OF Florence, and withou, benefi,
Of Judge, jury or clergy. hung them back
to back upon tree, where they remained
until about noon the following day. The
Bngls says: Through design or mistake,
the rope, instead Of being placed around
Braden's neck. was drawn through bis
mouth. the knot being upon the nape of
the neck. In this situation he must have
hung several hours before life was extinct
In his efforts to release himself, he had
made such tremendous struggles as to
burst the veins upon his neckSand upon
the back of bis hands. His snfierinps
must have been beyond al conception
by private letter from Omaha. We
learn that large number of those enga
ged in the lynching were arrested and
imprisoned at Omaha. The Grand jury
being in session'a at the time, found bills OF
indictment for murder against four of them
to wit: William Conner and Thos. Allen.
OF Washington county K. c. Bryant, of
Florence, and J. G. secly, of Omaha
The Jury was still in session on the Eth
inst, and would doubtless return indict.
ments against several others as aecessor.

Worth Of Property Destroyed.

We learn from . gentleman direct from
Vernon county, who visits our city for thu
purpose of procuring aid from the Gov
ernor, tina, Montgomery and his band o
murdercrs and thieves have renewed tbei,
deprsdations upon the citizens living on
the Little Usage river. Montgomery, gu,
informant says. entered the neighborhood
on Monday last, the 20,b. after miIn light
and commenced his depreds,ions By
numbering man BY the name of David
Crews. and kidnapping negro woman
belonging to him, taking bis wagon, bar
ness and horses, and robbiug bis house o.
everything.
The next family who fell victim to tbi.
band Of desperadoes, was that of Mr.
Martin, who was robbed Of fine mule
From the estate of James Lawrence . il,
the possession Of his son in law, Henry
Hickln, they kidnapped five negroes, stole
four horses, one yoke Of cattle and large
wagon. From Mr.. Hicklin they took a
double barrel sho. gun, one saddle, and
considerable wearing apparel belonging to
the family.
From Isaac B. Larue they kidnapped
five negroes. stole six horses, one yoke o:
cattle, and stripped his beds Of all the
valuable bed clothing, and the family Of
their wearing apparel. They also took
his son John, and an old man who was
boarding with them whose name our in
tormant did not learn, prisoners, and after
taking them into the territory some six
miles, turned them loose.
The band who committed these ou.ra
ges consisted Of about sixty well armed
and disguised and as reckless a set Of
men as the world can produce. They
placed guards around the house to pre-
vent any Of the inmates from making their
escape and giving alarm, and commenced
their depredations upon the property.
The most sickening accounts are given
Of the suffering Of our good citizens Of
Vernon county, who have been for sever
al years at the mercy Of band Of reck.
less and desperate men. Something mus,
be done; check must be pat to these
men. We advise moderation and firm.
ness, and no stopping Until these men are
brought before the bar Of public justice
and dealt with as the law directs.
The neighborhood attacked this time is
one that has never taken sides with either
party in any Of the difficulties which have
taken place on the border.
