The 81. Do. s. o. h. n. r.

In company with several others
from BrOwnville. we took our first
ride, one day last week, over the st.
Joseph and Council Bluffs rail road
from Phelps City to st. 10. This end of
the roadhas been in operation about a
month and, within this time, the first
opportunity has been offered to the
citizens of Brownville of ride on the
rail to the cities of the South and
East, and at a vast saving of time and
expense over Steam Boat travel. We
left Brownville at $50 pm and arri-
rived in st. 10. at $50 pm, travelling
a distance of sixty-five miles in two
hours and fifty minutes, which for a
new road is considered good time.
General raig'spass was legal tender
with the conductor both going and re-
turning. The company will find it
necessary to add more passenger
coaches to the trains for the accOmo-
datiOn of the public. On the down
train their were three coaches full to
overlooking, many unable to obtain
seats. One month ago one car was
more than sfficient, afterthe first two
weeks another was added, after the
first three weeks still another, and
now the fourth is demanded. The
increasing travel astonishes even the
most sanguine of the friends of the
road. This road not only opens up a
new outlet for the surplus products of
Nebraska, but enables the manufacturs
of the east to reach us, in shorter time
and with less expense, than hereto
fore. Let the car of progress move on.
By the 'politeness of James NJ.
Hacker, our County Clerk, W care per-
mitted to make the following summa-
ry of his report to the State Auditor.
By it we observe that there has been
apportioned to the schools Of Nemaha
County the past year, $40, O9O That
we have fifty-one schools; that we
have 1900 scholars to educate that
the average salaries paid teachers are
miserably low, and that school
property is valuable.
