American interests in Cuban waters and on the
island, in view of the civil war in progress, and
that, TO this end, an unusually large fieet would
be sent thither. II has, however, been aseer-
tanned from authentic sources, that so lar from
this being the case, The number of vessels TO be
employed in the public service i'm that direction
viii not probably be more than six, or two less
than heretofore in the squadron, the number
being necessarily limited, owing to the fact that
Congress has made very great reduction in the
personnel of the navy. But, apart from this, the

The new farm house of Grin Heath, two
miles east of Cabot village, was burned to
the ground last Friday night. Not an arti-
Gle in the house was saved. Besides furni.
ture, clothing, etc., there was in the house
14O bushels of oats, 400 pounds of butter
20 bushels of wheat, and 20 bushels of bar
ley, which were all destroyed. The loss
was over S2000-insured for $780, The
house was occupied by Mr.. Grin Heath:
son, Edward, and his wife. Early in the
evening, Edward and his wife put out the
fire in the stove with water, carefully guard
ed everything against fire, locked up the
house and went over the valley on the OPP
posite hill to attend wedding party
About midnight, the company saw the
house in flames, and there being severa
present who owned houses in that neigh
borhood there was a rapid flight in tina
direction. Mr.. Austin, the next neighbOr
was awakened by his wife, who supposed
that their house was on fire, and was the
first an the ground. When he arrived ev
cry room in the house was in flames, anC
not knowing that the occupants were away
he supposed they were consumed in the
flames. Grin Heath arrived soon after anC
was led to the same belief. When the sol
arrived he was received as one from tn,
dead, and the loss of property seemed tri
fling thing in the fathers mind Union.

OMAHA, Dec. 18th, 1869.
Friend Edric-Omaha City. situated on
the westerly bank of the Missouri river
nearly opposite Council Bluffs, and noted
chiefly as the eastern terminus of the In
ion Pacific Railroad, covers an area of
about two and a half square miles and con-
tains a population of $4,000. There are
now two railroads being built from this
place: The Omaha and Southwestern run
ming to Lincoln, thence to some point on
the southern boundary of the state in Gage
county and the Omaha and Northwestern
to West Point, thence to the mouth of the
Niobrara river. Another railroad COM
mencing fifty miles west of Omaha on the
Western Pacific Railroad, is in process of
construction. Work has also commenced
on the Columbus and Sioux City Railroad.
Other roads are also contemplated in diff
terent parts of the state. and no doubt some
Of them will soon be built, thus opening
up large country and offering great facil-
tiles for settlement. All parties appear to
be well satisfied with their present returns
and future prospects, except farmers, who
complain Of the low price of grain which
is their principal source of revenue. | see
not why stock raising and dairying may
not be carried on here to good advantage
as feed costs much less than in New Eng.
land, while the products of the dairy sell
as high here as in the eastern markets anC
beef higher, compared with cost
The streams which are not numerous are
mostly fringed with low scrubby growth
Of timber, and occasionally you may SEE
quite an extensive wood lot of like descrip
ton. The ornamental trees all through
this city partake of the same rough un
comely appearance; yet timber grows yer!
rapidly. The bottom and bench lands ar,
very fertile, producing heavy crops of corr
for many seasons in succession without an,
manure whatever. The high lands are no
as rich but are considered the best for grow
ing wheat. Manureis drawn from the sta
bes and dumped into some hole or ravine
as a substance altogether worthless.
Omaha is very lively through the day
but after 10 o'clock p. m. it is the mos
quiet city ever visited, save the continu
al barking Of the dogs which congregat
here in no small numbers.
Any one can here be accommodated il
his religious views, unless he is uncommon
ly particular, as there are fifteen houses Of
public worship all occupied by different de
nominations, while several other societies
owning no houses, worship in halls rente,
for that purpose, making nearly or quit
twenty from which to make a selection.

Some ten years ago, the people of Hard
wick built an academy by subscription,
with good town hall, 40x50 underneath
it. Last summer, the people comprehend
ing the benefits of a graded school, con-
verted the academy into building suita-
BILE for that purpose, adding to it primary
department 20x30. The building is sur
mounted by cupalo, with copper metal
bell weighing 300 pounds. The district
have voted to hold three terms year, and
nearly every man in the community is an
earnest supporter of the school and regard
it as matter of town pride. If any of our
Lyndon men want to know the value a
community places upon good schools, after
they are once established, let them go to
Hardwick and ask any of the people how
much money they would charge to throw
up the graded school and 90 back to the
common district style. Snch man woulC
be rode out of Hardwick village on rail
and we should esteem it privilege to holt
one end of the rail- Union.
