RA"A
This county is west of Gage and Lam
caster counties. It is wa,sred By The Big
Blue river and its tributaries, the largest
Of which is the Turkey Greek, which
rises in the north western part Of the
county. The settlements in Saline county
may be said TO Be on The frontier; still
there are q few settlers now and then to
be found much further west than they.
The lands in this county are being takeE
BY actual settlers for ~hOmesteads. For
a new county ihe political ground is
being sharply contested, Democrats hold
ing most Of the Offices by suTerence.
There is much uncertainty as 10 which
point will get and setain the honor Of
being the county seat. AT the presents time
Swan City holds the stakes, and may for
all time to come. So say many, if not
all the one hundred people who now re.
side there. Il not, il win not be for
the want Of an effort Cd their part.
Swan City is situated in the south
eastern portion Of the county, al the con-
huence of Turkey and Swan creeks.-
There is a store here well stocked with
goods. Hurlburt & Mack have a good
water power saw mill here. The dam is
on the Turkey Creek, just below the
mouth Of Swan Creek. They have ten
feet head Of water, which backs the
water up either creek about three miles,
but not out OF their banks. There is
sufficient water the year round 10 run
other machinery beside the saw and grisI
mill. The proprietors contemplate build
ing a grist mill the coming year. This
is within an easy days drive Of the State
Capitol, and one Of their greatest wants
is increased mail facilities. Il takes the
post Office department some time TO real
lie that there can be settlers so far west
and longer to comprehend their wants
and a further indefinite space Of time
before they arrange to supply thei
wants. We suppose after the census o.
1870 shall have been taken, compiled am
published, the three Congressman an.
two Senators from Nebraska will be a
Ueve. -oDenern "a that civ of ~ufnaOni6

The State Normal School.

.A
This institution Of learning is situated
in Peru, Nemaha county, about eight
miles up the Missouri river from Brown
vile, and has cow just closed It's second
term under the tutorship Of Mr.. & Mrs.
Mckenzie. Miss M. S. Hunlley has
taught the primary department, and Mr..
F. M. Williams has taught the class in
penmanship and book keeping. The
teachers are laboring under many diff
culties which are somewhat discouraging
but not i~nsurmounlable.
This school needs a library and more
philosophical apparatus. /, should be
provided with an endowment sufficient
70 relieve il Of all embarrassment in a
financial point of view. Prof. Mckenzie
is the right man IN the right place ; and
if the State secures to him an adequate
support, the whole bent and power Of his
ripe experience will be at The disposal
Of the school and we doubt not that The
next Legislature viii place this institu-
lion above want. Il should be made a
credit to the State. Good schools are
our greatest necessity. Governments,
by long practice, pay without though. or
much comment large sums TO punish
criminals, but count the dollars and cents
with some amazement at the exlrava-
gance Of The times which are paid out to
educate her population ia useful pursuits.
When the child is so educated as to
enable him 10 transact the business of
life, you have removed from him the
temptation to commit crime. He can
then gain, without risk 10 his character
or his liberty, what under other eircum-
stances be could have reached only
through theft or deception. The organ
ization Of society then is such hat The
Government must appropriate either
largely from its treasury to punish Grim
inals, or a less but still generous sum 10
Danish the necessity from which nearly
all criminals attribute their downfall.
And this State Normal School is bat
a small beginning o. the part Of the
State in the more economical and emo
bling policy, and all true educators should
see to il that she takes no backward
step.
