BrOwnvilIe, April I'd, 1868.
GEN. SHERIDAN passed down the river last
Friday morning on the steamer Colorado. Many
were anxiously awaiting his appearance, not ex-
pecting the boat until afternoon, and their disap-
pOintment can only be imagined when told that he
had passed down on the Colorado early that morn =
ing. A few "earIy birds" however, got a sight at
him. -
PERU TEMS-Peach trees in and around this
place are in full bloom.
The main channel Of the Missouri river at this
place, which last season was on the Missouri side,
is this season nearest the Nebraska shore.
Hawley & lyman are already compelled to enlarge
their business room, and are now building 3 forty
foot addition. -
SECOND STREET.-Last Fall the City Council
ordered that a street be surveyed up the hollow
through North BrOWntile to the north limits. A
road up that hollow, with but a small expenditure
in grading, will make a good road into town from
the bottom, whence this city is mainly supplied with
wood. All the necessary steps have been taken but
the surveying. How about that?
NEW STORED. May, of St. Joseph, has just
landed and is now opening up a large stock of Dry
Goods and Clothing in the building recently Occu-
pied by Bedford & Conner. his stock is all late
style and Of the best, comprising a full stock Of
Dry Goods, Fancy Notions and Clothing. As a
new conner, possessing, We believe, energy, integ-
rity and sound business capacity, we bespeak for
him the favors of the public and wish him success.

finest farms in the State Of his place about a mile
west of this city, and will this season erect thereon
a fine residence. BE has already upon it twelve or
fifteen acres Of grapes and other fruit and shrub
berry in proportion. He has il also stocked With
IS fine blooded stock as can be found in the West.
BE understands thoroughly what he is doing.
RAIN, greatly needed, visited this section, ac-
cOmpanied by a slight sprinkling of hail, last Sat-
urday night. 1t was q regular sOaker, and has
done a great deal Of good. 1t has been succeeded
BY several smaller showers. After the rain there
was considerable frost, yet, fruit was not forward
enough at the time to be injured, and a glorious
crop may be reasonably expected.
WE ARE exceedingly sorry to see the Journal
come down 30 heavy on the show last week, as we
believe the proprietOrs are gentlemen, performed all
they promised to, paid their debts as far as they
were able, and had already been treated mean
enough in Nebraska. All who attended whom we
have seen expressed themselves satisfied, and kick
inga lions carcass won't pass for bravery, or lead t.
reform. They evidently LETS more money in this
community than they took away.
PUBLIC DOCUMENTS.-We have during the
past week, as Secretary of the Republican Club,
received from different members Of Congress and
the Secretary Of the National Republican Commit
tee several hu ndred copies Of the Speeches o.
leading Republicans upon the issues Of the day,
great portion Of which we have already distribut'
ed, yet, as they still keep coming, We hope our he'
publican friends win assist Us in this "labOr 0
love" by calling, getting a lot and distributing Il
persons We would not be likely to see.
WENOTICE that the Secretary Of the B. FIX
& P. R. R. has received a letter from the keyston
Bridge Company, relative to building a Bridg
across the Missouri river at this point, and has fur
nished the Journal a copy for publication. w
fail in being able to thank its local for a copy. ''WI
had expected a copy from the secretary, " Fbut sup
pose that be had forgotten that there are two
Railroad "papers in Nemahs county" Owing I
the mildness Of our disposition and christian pro
~clivities we won't snake a fuss" AL zoe OGH
