The Fenians of England.

The English authorities lately execut-
ed three Fenian prisoners, and the Fe.
mans are holding funeral ~obsequies in
consequence thereof throughout the Brit
ish dominions. The Lord Lieutenant
has issued his proclamation stopping all
such demonstrations.
A Cable dispatch from London, on the
18th, says: A daring attempt was made
to-day to release the recently arrested
Fenian, Col. Burke, who is confined in
C%lerkenwell prison. Powder was plac.
ed beneath one of the prison walls, and
was exploded, it is supposed, by Burk's
confederates. The whole side of the wall
was blown into the air, and three of the
adjoining buildings destroyed. Many
persons were injured. and lis feared
that some lives were lost. Much cofu-
sion prevails in The vicinity, and it is diff
icult to ascertain details. The Colonel
did not succeed in making his escape.
He has been moved to a place of great
er security. Twenty lives were lost by
the explosion.

All admit that Nemaha county being
the better county of the two, should I'M
der as favorable circumstances, show as
much OF more assessable property than
Douglas; yet Douglas, with her railroad
advantages, leads US now by about five
millions of dollars. And as Douglas

she soon was to have, increased her val.

conclude that the resident farmers of Ne

her borders, through Northern Missouri,
from Quincy, which would render NOR.
ally certain the completion of our own
road, would realise a like profit, and that
their real estate, now worth 81 coo, 600

lowest estimate, more than twice the

THE AtchisOn and Nebraska Railroad
is being located through Doniphon coun-
ty. The county subscription to this road
is $35O,OOO, and private subscriptions
already reach the sun Of 100000.
This road was formerly called the
"AtchisOn and Nebraska City Railroad
but since locating the Capital of Ne
braska at Lincoln City, they have Drop
ped the City" from the title, and as we
learn have accepted Gov. Buffers offer,
and now propose to run the road to the
new Capital, leaving the river at Rulo,
in Richardson county, thence up the Big
Nemaha. The Chief further adds:
"Thus it will be seen. that by this
road, the very heart of Nebraska will
have direct communication with St. Lou
is through Kansas, and this road will be
the shortest route to that State, and will
place st. Louis nearer than Chicago to
Nebraska"
