u~nfathonable depths of woman's love-
Then why is she not cOntented with pos
sessing so much of his sublime attribute
of her Creator?

London, Nsb Feb. 10th, 1858.
Editor .Rdysrti8er All is quiet along
the Little Nemaha. except the energy
and enterprise that char acterizes the
people of this vicinity. Indeed the fa-
vorable weather with which February
has enlivened US, appears to have i'm
bued our farmers with a zeal for early
work throwing eff the dormant infuen.
ces of winter, and with coats off sowing
spring wheat, pruning hedges, and pre-
pairing to exchange base of operation
appear to be the order Of the day. If
the industry Of our farmers will produce
it, the markets can depend upon iLe
crops this year, from this section.
But ihe farmers are not mOn0p0liZiDg
all the enterprise, as others are equally
engaged. / might mention the material
benefit that Thompson, Loveless s. Co,
are adding to this community by the
erection Of a substantial mill dam ia the
Nemaha, which will afford plenty of
water for regular grinding purposes. l
understand a bridge is about to be con-
structed over the Nemaha at this point,
the completion of which viii add materi-
ally to The interests Of the surrounding
neighborhood increasing the amount of
travel, and making a much shorter route
for many to and frcm the county seat.
A few of our best citizens are leaving
US, having good farms in other parts
among whom we might mention Hiram
Storm, who moves to Pawnee county,
leaving behind his two eldest ms to each
of whom he has left a good farm. And
here let me say, if you are aware of two
industrious and handsome young ladies
who would like partners of equal repu-
tation, just send them along, for WHIP
and think of keeping Balcb@
A word in regard to The education and
Religious standing of the people, perhaps,
would not be out of place. While the
agricultural interests are advancing, that
manifested in education and christianity
is not behind. The public school has
been in session all winter, and we'll pat
ronizsd. The natural ability Of the pu-
pills, backed by their desire and aptitude
to grow in knowledge, are but evidences
Of the intellectual tendency OF the peo-
pie. Besides. we have sustained q very
interesting Literary Association duriDg'
the winter, which met every Thursday.
evening at the school house. Last week.
we adjourned until next winter. As an.
auxiliary 10 the school, il had no equal
many Of the boys and girls taking their.
first lessons in tie art Of public speaking.
We also had many spirited discussions
on popular questions. many participating
before large audiences, ard manifesting
talent that would 40 justice to any com.
munily. / might add here, tha, our
faithful Legislative Representative, Geo.
Crow, Esq, was our chairman, and under
whose careful judgment our association
has proved a success. On the evening
Of the 18Th inst, we were favored with
the presence of Prof. o. B. Hewett, of
B~rOwuvilIe, who entertained a large and
attentive audience for more lhan an
hour with an able and instructive lecture
on Education in lis effects upon our
National destiny" The reputation of
Prof. Hewett as a sound thinker and sue
cessful educator being known, further
comment is unnecessary. A very inter-
esting class in vocal music has been I'M
der the instruction Of the efficient
teacher, Prof. ]. u. Nelson, of Brown
vile, making a marked improvement
upon the tone Of the children, and ex-
citing within them a great desire for
music, which we understand will be con-
linued by Prof. Dye, of BrownviIle, who
is about 10 take several classes under his
instruction. We know be will fad the
material here and will succeed.
Fairview School House is one of the
best buildings in the county, and will be
supplied with new furniture during the
Summer. Contiguous 10 the School House
is the Fairview NJ. E. Church, also a
good building, in which religious servi-
ces are held by the Methodist Episcopal
and Cumberland Presbyterian denomln.
ations. Daring the summer season a
good sabbath school is sustained. A
series of religious meetings by the NJ. E.
denomination, under the charge of Rev.
P. B. Buche and Elder S. w. Kennedy,
closed on the 9th inst, resulting in much
good with eight accessions to the church.
Although some opposition to the late
election on the rail road question exists
"a this district, yet the good sense of the
people has prevented the calling of an
Indignation meeting, which they know is
influence or power.
The 22d inst we hailed with greatfuI
remembrance as the birthday of the
Father Of has Country"
Mr.. Editor, every county has It's favo-
tie locality, ana / think Nemaha finds
ierS N FairVlew her attractions being
s significant as her name; and to all
new homes in our thriving
ounty, if you desire a superior farm, in
be midst of a moral and intelligent
ommunity, | would most cheerfully
commend "FAIRVIEW." g
