We SEQ that Dr. Boykjn, through his ener-
Fics, has got his joint memorial an RESOLUTIONS
through the Council, asking Congress to make
"a M ediate Appropriation 10 build a Peni-
tertiary for this Territory, and that the same
be located at Bellevue. We sincerely hope
that this subject will receive an early and IA
vorable action from Congress, ass Penitcntiary
at this time is very much needed, and Bellevue
from it's central position in the Territory, It's

for that purpose. It lie not a fair shake to
have oil the edihces erected and sppropria-
tons squandered in the immediate vicinity Of

is more centrally located than Bellevue, and
justice TO Northern Nebraska demands that
this should be the point selected as the site
We have plenty stone, and plenty timber
hard wood timber, too,-and since not one
dollar has ever been appropriated for the

never received a dollars benefit from appro-

this thing as a right Bellevue, from its pro1.

LOWS FEEAKs.-Just before the ChristmsI
days The little blind god let fly one OF his ar,
rows and it pierced, through and through, a
couple Of youthful, and aimiring hearts, and
made n hole
"YOu could aisily roll a cabbage In"
The twain no longer desired to be two but
enc flesh. Accordingly they made a mat,h,
thus disproying the correctness Of the old
adsge that ma hes are made in heaven" as
our couple made their match over in Sioux City.
On New Years morn the male party to the
arrangement, crossed over to this city to get
the necessary documents from our County
Clerk, to enable him to offer himself a victim
at the matrimonial shrine, Lesnder swan
across the Hellespont in days of yore to his
lady love, but our man just slid across the
Missouri on the ice, as any sensible man
would. Repairing to the house of the lady's
friends, in this county, they made known their
determination. The friends few into q pass
ion, grew furious, and threatened to break
the match short of, in two pieces as they
already had selected a man to be the partner
Of her joys. Here the damsel demurred. and
distinctly wanted it understood that she was
going to wed the man f her choice. Her
'lovyer" admiring her pluck as we'll az lik,
ing her in other respect, determined on max
ing her his'n' at all hazard,
"His spirit vas tremendous and fierce to behold
and he announced himself ready to die in her
cause.
About eight o'clock in the %eveni,g candidate
No.2. thinking he had a dead thing of il, on
q hssty survey of matters, bestrOde the
Heetest charger this county affords aud few
over ten long miles Of terra Grmd to this city,
in forty seven minutes, to get certificate No.
?. He was perspiring at every pore but
ed to be animated by that most powerful in
centive love, interested love. Having secured
the papers be felt relieved Of wagon load Of
doubt and said he would marry the woman
before twelve at night" He again mounted
his charger, aud turned lite head homeward
struck his heels into its TANKS and was of
like a shot. Whatever hopes he had OF eight,
had vanished into thin air st twelve, and
candidate No. 2, was "a sad, disappointed man.
A day spent with the friends Of the lady made
things right and on last Tuesday morning
candidate No, l was made tho h~appiest man
in the world, by receiving the hand and heart
Of her he loved dear. Faint heart &c.

The selection Of Delegates to attend the
National Democratic Convention at Charleston
- the Democratic Central Committee Of this
Territory. was q very uuWlss movement Be
sides this the selection was premature. II
EshfAska IL admitted a. a State, into the I'm.
lon. ia tine to ,ast her vote At the next Pres.
idsntial election, It 10 but proper that The
Democratic party should have Al opportunity
Of s%slesting is own delegates, and give al
expression Of preference for same one Of the
number who are known to be candidates for
che nomination. Nearly all the delegat.s
selected in the states, thus far, both North and
South, have been instructed TO vote for sOmo
particular man, or were chosen on account Of
their well known preference for some one Of
tho Presidential candidates. We have no OBJ
jestion to the gentlemen selected rs delegates
frow this Territory, other than the manner Of
their selection. To that We do object. We
for one, wish to have an opportunity Of eK-
pressing a choice by the selection Of delegates
~bo-e prooli yities are known, or who may be
