Loche, Miss johnson, DR.. Kimberlin,
E, E. Ebright, Mr.. McCreery and

at the Honey Creek School House,
and paid us a rich treat in the shape
of a Sabbath School Concert.
The exercises consisted in instru-

instrument, which he brought out for
the occasion singing, led by Mr.. and
Mrs. Bennett; short speeches by DR..

TO express our hearty thanks, andshall
be glad to see our friends again.

Mr.. Editor DO you suppose that
the people generally know that they
have a normal school in which the
young men and women of the State,
who expect to teach, a receive their
tuition, and very many of their text
books free of cost?
Is it generally known that we can
accommodate over 100 students as well
and as cheaplys as any other in the
State? 1 fear, Mr.. Editor, that our
people do not appreciate the advanta-
afforded them.
Our State Superintendent is very
anxious to Introduce a regular system
of instruction throughout the entire
State, and says he has recommended
text books that are opponents of that
system. but it appears to me, that he
does not strike at the root of the mat
ter. Good text books are very desira-
BILE but we must have thoroughly
disciplined teachers to use them.
What we most need, to-day, in Ne
braska, is a regular systematic drill,
for all our teachers. Let the State and
County superintendent see toft, that
the Normal School is giving correct
methods, is molding the character
Alright, and teen, let them urga every
young man and woman who expect to
teach, to spend, at least, two terms at
the Normal School. We fear this is
overlooked to much throughout the
State in theory, they all admit that
the Normal School is the thing for
every State, yet practically they ig-
more it. How strange it is, that when
the means to make our schools what
they should be and must be are
right at hand, we pass them by and
seize upon a feeble thing that at the
best is only secondary.
Look at our schools to day. Where
is our system? Visit Nebraska City,
Omaha. and other towns, andsee the
confused jumbo they present; no
nicely adjusted plan of operation, but
every teacher teaching as he listeth,
without regard to any other.
And this will be so, till some place
is formed to which all will. conform.
Will not the press in tile State in
sist on a systematic drill, on thorough
preparation. as
Our Teachers Institutes are helps,
but cannot take the place of the Nor
NAL School.
We are prepared to instruct from
$50 to 200 pupils, and say to the people,
we wait your pleasure. We cannot
believe that anyone can be so prejudi-
ced as to the locality, that this will
will keep them away, and if any feel
like asking, "ean any good come out
of Nazareth ?" we can only reply,
''come and see."
We are anxsous to build up our
school on a sure foundation, and we
believe that foundation to be well
qualified, and thoroughly disciplined
teachers.
We ask every friend of education to
help us, by sending those thirsting to
the spring to drink.
We ask the press to say to the peo-
pie throughout the State, Tuition in
the Normal School Is free to those
studyingJor Teachers.

MAILS.

We would like to know iftheTe can
not be some arrangement made by
which we could get our mails regular.
Can we not have a d~lrectline between
this city, Nebraska city or Brown
vile? Will not those cities take hold
of the matter and help US TO secure an
extension of the route from Beatrice
to this place ?
If those cities did but know it, the
trade of Jefferson county is of great
importance to them, and by hav-
ing better mail facilities in that direc-
ton, they would get a large share OF
our trade.
We have had no mail from Brown
vile for three weeks, until Thursday
it all came together. This is crafty
ing to merchants, lawyers and editors
who have to rely on the mails to keep
posted, and through which they
transact a large amount of their busi-
ness.
Our mail from the east, comes up on
something that was once no doubt a
colt, and may have been at one time 8
horse, but now is nothing but a huge
pile of bones, that by the assistance of
SDuASy a AdMAA4C aua gnu 0NoA -
extra swearing by the carriers is per-
swaded to travel about ten miles a day
proYidedi it don't fall down or stop to
rest. rr1 EEns
1t is a shame and a disgrace that
three thousand intelligent men and
women, in Jefferson county are i'm
posed upon to such an extent as we
are by the irregularities of the mails.
We-hope the BrOwnville press will
take this matter in hand and not let
it rest until we have at least a tFi-
weekly route from that city to this
place. We would ask the Nebraska
City papers to help, but as they do not
deign to exchange with the Frontier
paper of Nebraska we do not care
whether they do or not.

What Railroads do for COun-
ties.

The increase in the taxable wealth
of Atchison county during the past
twelve months is upwards of $780,
600! These figures may seem start
ling to some, but they are neverthe-
less correct. What has brought about
this result, while many of our neigh
boring counties are ON a stand still ?
Simply this: We have a Railroad !
If the building of a north and south
line of Railroad along the western
border of our county increases the
value of our property twenty-five per
cent. in twelve months, what will be
the increase in u taxable wealth.
within the same space of time by the
building of an East and West Trunk
RAILROAD through the centre of the
county? We answer, not less than
seventy-five per cent. There is no
exaggeration about this, as the Rail-
road history of the country will bear

Rev. Mr.. Lowe, of the Baptist
Church in this city, preached in the
Presbyterian Church last Sunday
evening upon the subject of Spiritual
ISM. The learned divine's handling
Of the subject was somewhat peculiar,
and if his premises and conclusions
are correct, then there is more in the
subject Of Spiritualism than we had
heretofore supposed. The "manifes-
t~atiOns' he dignifes by the name of
miricles wrought bys fallen angels.
He thinks that these fallen angels
can represent the dead in their char
acters and appearances while in this
world that they can control mind
matter and the elements, sor far as
permitted by the Ruler Of the Uni
verse; that all the spiritual phenome-
ma of which we read and hear, is the
work of these fallen angels through
mediums on earth. We have never
given this subject much thought and
no investigation, but supposed that
the phenomena might be accounted
for upon some as yet unknown prin-
ciples governing and controlling mind
and matter, having absolutely no con-
nectiOn with spirits departed or 9TH
erwise. The future and what is be-
yond this life is really beyond our
knowledge, and we have little or no
disposition to seek after such knowl-
edge, and know not where it may
be obtained. w endeavor to so live
and act that7we shall receive the plan
dit of an approving conscience, and
then trust ourselves in the hands of
him who doeth all things well.

We are led to ask this question by
the interrogatory in the last weeks
Democrat: What shall we do?" 1t
is supposed to be the duty of an editor
to urge upon the citizens of his city,
county or State such measures as in
hisjudgment would be beneficial but
that he shall fall into the croaking,
complaining, dyspeptic disposition of
finding fault and manifesting any
imperfections or omissions that may
have been made, is entirely out of
place. One would suppose by this
that BrownvilIe had retrogra-
ded that her business houses were
empty, her dwellings tenantless; that
no new improvements have been made
and that she is going to ruin as fast as
the wheels of time can whirl her
Is this true? We, the citizens
of Brownville, answer emphatically
no! Brownville has twenty-five per
cent. more population, business and
wealth than she had one year
ago. From eight to ten new business
houses have been erected, and all in
blast; Some thirty or forty new
dwellings have been erected, ranging
in cost from five hundred to three
thousand dollars each. Her Railroad
prospects are brighter than ever be-
fore. The O., NJ. & P. Railroad is
pushing along with energy. We do
not wish to extend this article at this
time, but would suggest the propriety
no more croaking.

We have called the attention of our
monied men several times to the fact
that there would be a redistribution
of the national currency the coming
winter, and to the necessity that there
is for a bank of of issue in this county.
We need a banking capital of at least
500. 600. and there is hardly a farmer
but could take more or less stock in a
good national bank. We are prepar-
ing a list of such men as we hope to
enlist in an enterprise Of this kind,
and will publish it when complete. If
such a bank existed in Brownville, 1t
could loan its stockholders its funds
when occasion required, saving to ev-
ery n of them the necessity of keep
ing several hundred dollars to meet
immergencies, unemployed through
out the entire year. We can have a
Banking House of this kind if we
work for it. Will we do it? or will

Nebraska City appears to be unfor-
tunate in her contracts with Railroad
companies. The Chronicle says that
they paid $40, OOe to get the IT. Joseph
and Council Bluffs Railroad to come
within one mile of Nebraska City,
and then asks why it is that they did
not come r than two miles.
They gave $50, 600 to secure a branch
road from the b. & NJ. Railroad to
Nebraska City, and under that con-
tract they are likely to get only two
miles from the river to East Nebraska
City built. The branch that they ex-
pected will be built to Hamburg, con-
Meeting with the st. Joseph and G. B.
Railroad, thence on that road down
to a point opposite Rulo. thence up

North to East Nebraska City and

pliance with the terms, it is not with

The Trunk Railroad, we are assured
by those who are controlling its desti-
mes, Is receiving all the attention
which it's importance as a great COM
peting through line demands. There
are many side issues to settle which
thus fur have prevented the COM
mencing Of active work. The gold
tumble of a few weeks ago so crippled
the contractors that they are now I'M
able to execute the contract made with
the company to complete ten miles of
the road from Rulo north. In Onse-
quence, they may fail to come within
the terms of the State Land Grant;
nevertheless, active work will COM
mence so o as the rights Of the
company and the good of the road are
properly fixed and determined. The
public may rest assured that the COM
pany are doing all in their power, and
much more than they want made
known at present, to complete this
much needed thrOughfare o St Louis.
