A REMARKABLE CAsE.-One of the most
remarkable cases that has ever come under
the observation of our medical fraternity,
has just transpired at the residence of q
young man named Abriel, who resides on
First street, on Arbor Hil Mr.. Abriel is
returned soldier. He has been home
something less than a year. When he came
home he was suffering from a Minnie ball
wound through the feshy part of his right
arm. 1t became so bad that the attending
physician talked seriously of amputation.-
This worked seriously on the mind of his
young wife-(he had but short time pre-
viously got married). She cared for and
dressed the arm regularly, and paid every
attention to it, not wishing to see her hus-
band with only one arm. This was some
eight or nine months ago. Under the kind
care OF his wife, whose whole attention was
absorbed IN the thought of one armed hus.
band, the wound got well and the arm was
saved. Now for the sequel. The other dav.
the wife of Mr.. Abriel gave birth to a child
who had one developed arm, but the other
was stump, similar to the one which the
poor wife's mind was impressed with at the
time the surgeons were talking of her hus-
bands. Amputation, even, could not have
produced more beautiful stump, and what
is more, the scar of the bullet hole. SO visible
on the fathers arm, was as visible on the
child's arm, at the base of the stump, as if
really inflicted by ball. This is the most
remarkable case of child-mark" ever
known. 1t has attracted the attention of all
our leading physicians and surgeons. The
child is healthy and beautiful one, perfect
in every respect. save the absence of the arm
referred to.-4tbany KnickerJocker.

LIMITED BUT GooD.-Two strangers, sup
posed to be from the East and believed to be

from the fine quality of their "store Clothes"
strolled over Lander Hill examining various
mining operations. Coming to certain
mine, where there was but one man at work,
they stopped for moment to observe the
superior character of the preparations for
extensive mining. A spacious and clean
face had been cut on the hillside, which
afforded platform of generous dimensions OF
the mouth of the tunnel, which had been
commenced and driven in a few feet. The
handsome job seemed to be the result of a
combination of capital and skill. They ask
ed the solitary workman-who, by the way,
is of small size, but of good stuff'-the name
the company and its capital stock. Resting
on his pick, the plucky little fellow replied :.
" am the company, gentlemen and my
capital stock is couple of sacks of -four,
side of bacon, strong will, good health and
a quiet conscience. Reese Rirer Rcreitfe.

some time ago planter a short distance
from Memphis gave a party to the young
folks in his neighborhood. 1t was gay
time, and in the course of the evening the
boys and girls played forfeits. While this
was going on, it chanced that the son of the
planter, a nice, modest fellow, had to claim
forfeit of some of the girls, but he was
overcome with difidence. $50 ahead,
John," said the planter, {" kiss some of the
girls" John hitched from one foot to the
other, blushed, and finally blurted out: 81
-I-never kissed schite girl, father. -

him daughter. He told her that he should

sufficient ground for divorce. The nexth

Mr.. Editor Permit me to say a few
words about our SEMINARY at Peru.
Through the ~persevering efforts Of the
officers of the School the building was
made tenable for the Winter. and seven
or eight rooms were so far finished, that
teachers and students could occupy Them.
During the present term of school eigh-
teen persons have lived in the building,
and most of the time have been quite
comfortable. The school has numbered
so students. nearly all young ladies and
gentlemen.
The school, in the main, has passed eff
very pleasantly thus far. The great OBJ
iecr OF the teachers has been not TO
please any one in particular but to teach
a good thorough school; and that they
Go this their work amply proves.
We believe, as far as we know, entire
satisfaction has been given as regards
their methods Of instruction, and no
reasonable person ought to find fault with
the regulations of the school.
OF course. disobedient or iniolent
students do notlove regulations that cause
them trouble, but We are not sOIicitous
about pleasing such.
We are determined that the Peru Sem
nary shall not be ouI done by any other
school.
The next Term will commence We'd
nesday, April 4th, and continue twelve
weeks. Tpltlon for the term $500 ia
common branches 5. Rooms for about
twenty students will be fitted up by the
commencement of The term. Board in
the building will be So per week. room
rent IS per term. Parents wishing to
send their children here another term
will do vel; % engage rooms soon.
Great care is taken to watch over the
moral character of students sent here,
and everything that would tend to de-
moralize is carefully avoided.
1t is our intention to make the school
q safe, pleasant home to all who may at
tend; and while a student attends faith
fully 10 his studies be will find good,
warm friends in bis teachers.

Reconstruction Bill Passed Over
fhe Veto,

The Reconstruction Bill passed by Con-
gress and sent to the President about the
l9sh. was retulfd with a veto, and re.
passed over the veto % the %. We will
give the bill next week.
The most n olable feature Ct the pas

taken for its passage first, and then over
the veto, by ReVeTdy johnson, the
ablest leader the Democracy have. This
indicates great chances for the success Of
this plan Of Reconstruction, which, if the

Democrats Bargaining Away the

From recent expressions IN the News,
Of Nebraska City. and Herald, Omaha,
no sane person can help but perceive.
that an understanding or bargain has
been arringed between Otoe and Doug
las county, for mutual protection and Chi
caaeryi This mutual pro,ecuonp plan was
undoubtedly the canse of the trouble in
the Legislature. A correspondent from
Omaha, to the Press, d citizen Of Ne
braska City, says:
"The political influence existing at the
Capital has been sufficiently powerful. TO
secure the North Platte country a much
larger representation in proportion to its
population, than the Southern part Of the
