The subject Of this notice was born IN Ohio.
June 18th, 1877: came to Missouri after MS
majority. and resided IN Holt County several
veasn. He came to Nebraska and settled In
this county In October, 1854, taking q claim
lust abovethe city when e was but Q howling
wilderness. being one among the e~arllest pi-
oneers Of Nebraska. As a settlement sprang
up he became one Of Itsleading and mest IN
nuenfial citizens, occupying many positions
Of honor and trust-for beit rememberod the
emoEaments Of Once were few and far be-
tween in those days-acquitting himselfcred~
itably in all. He was high sheriff Of this
county for four ~years-lS56-7s and 1872. In
1857 he gave up farming and moved 70 this
city, owning for q while q portiono Of our Fer
~ and keeping q livery stable. While here
he never was lacking in public spirit n en-
terprise. In fact showing more than resulted
III his financial good.
Within the past few years he has engaged
himself Particularly in farming, and has held
the position Of Yice-Preside lent { the Agricul-
turaI and Mechanical Association Of this
Countysfnce It's organization two years since,
In which position his death leavesa vacancy.

licitous for the welfare Of his family. He
leaves a wife and three children, and a host
Of warm friends, to mourn the irreparable
void made by his demise, and q whole coma
munity to regret the loss OF a good man from
its midst.
The day Of his funeral, last Sabbath, was
the most incIement Of the season, and illus
trated forcibly the following eloquent passage
written by DR.. Bushnell
"We have cleared away the snoW, and heWn
apassage down through the solid pavement
Of the frost, and then IN that inhOapitable
place we come to bury our departed friend /;
1orlorn last Offices we are come to perform.
While our feeling Is prOtesting. the sOlemni-
ty, s0-cakleds goes on, and before we have got

ended. The frozen chips OF earth, loOsened
again by blows, are piled on the loved ones

corning Mr.. Borie, the Secretary of

Washington to see the Inauguration Of

slightest thought or desire Of a call to
the cabinet. He called on the new
President OF the afternoon Of the 4th

his office. "Ahi Mr.. Borie,r said
Grant, "have gou come on, too. to D

deliver, q speech, taking the ground
that England is entirely responsible
for much more than the destruction Of
four ships that the action resulted in
sweeping our commerce from the seas,
aud ia pr0longing the wal at leafs q
year. Mr.. Thorne, British Minister,
hearing this, said to Mr.. sumner,
s'That means war; The French Min
lister, A[r. Berthy, said, "MI. Sumner,
that means expansion Of ~territ0ry.'t
The matter is making more stir in dip
loniantic circles than any question
which has agitated them for a long
time. It does not please the English
here 70 learn that the French think. as
Mr.. BeFtheny's remarks interpreted,
that England would not fight, but

On the first page will be found she
-reportof the Congressional committee
appointed to investigate the appalling
frauds committed at the Presidential
and general election held in New York
City last November. This report con-
clusively shows that but for the frauds
thus committed BY Democratic on
cials, in which they were encouraged
by the present Governoro Of New York
aud present Mayor Of the City Of New
York. the State would have chosen
Griswold for Governor and Presiden-
tial electors for Grant and Colfax.
Naturalization papers were issued to
persons who never appeared in court
Ito fictitious names, and to persons
under assumed names, By virtue of
which persons voted many times over
that the oath required BY law was
never taken ia short, the report pre-
sents q record Of official corruption
which ought to damage the character
Of even q New York City Democrat,
and shows that the Democratic leaders
were ready to adopt any measure
which promised success. For the
honor Of America and Republican in
situations, it is hopeful that the United
States win not suffer such infamous
rulers to administer the governments
Of the State and Nation after the ex-
piration Of their present terms.

The Rev. Geo. s. Alexander Of Me-

lures in Brownville last week to very
intelligent audiences. The subjects
were previously announced, and but
for the District Court which was in
session that week, would have drawn
out q full house. Mr.. Alexander has
but recently come 20 this State from
New England, and Is decidedly one of
the best speakers we have had the
pleasure Of listeningto for many a day.
Hi sideas are Of the radical school, and
although one may not readily adopt
his conclusions, still he can but adj
mire the force and ~clearness with
which they are sent home to bis COM
prehension. His style Of delivery is
animated, and at times he is truly elo-
quent New thoughts and old ones
ingeniously put, roll from his lips one
after another in such rapid succession
that his hearers are as much interested
to know what is coming next as they
are to fully digest what has already
been said. We consider Nh. Alexan-
der an able and rising man in che
State.
