General that the route shall be re-opened


The adjournment of the Legislature is
1sn ally attended by the passage of several
important bills of such public interest as to
demand their immediate publication. We
devote much of our space this morning to
the Revenue Act, an advanced copy of
which we are able to lay before our read
ers. We do not think any apology is
necessary for the space it occupies, as it
treats of subject in which all are directly
interested, and which none can shun.
We would advise our readers to preserve
this copy as it may be some time before
form.

A Joke.

Secretary of the Treasury Boutwell, we
see by Northern papers, says that he re-
commended the appointment Of General
Allan Rutherford as Third Auditor be-
cause he desired that representative OF
the South should be at the head of one OF
the Bureaus. We suppose for similar
reason Colonel Pike. late editor OF the
Raleigh Standard, was appointed Consul
to TamIico.

AN OLD POSTAL ROUTE TO BE RE-oPENEp.
We learn from Capt. j. M. Wise, who has
just returned from Washington City, that
the old weekly mail route from Burgaw uia
Angola to Jacksonville, thence along the
old Sound route cia Suead's Ferry and
SCOTS Hill to Wilmington, will probably
be re-estabi>hed lin the course of two
months. This is due to the exertions of

Congress from this District, who has OBJ

SYgTEMATIC MANAGEMENT OF
SHEEP.

We made a visit to the extensive
Sheep Farm, In this county, under
the management of S. Cochran. He
has now about eleven hundred sheep
and cashmere goats. We have heard
much of the management of sheep,
but was never before, an eye witness.
The entire flock is in excellent health,
good order, and most perfectly discip-
lined. One man and two dogs han
died the flock when, where and at
pleasure. To give all example, we
mention a fact almost incredible to
our own eyes. On the farm is fine
garden, with an abundance Of vegeta-
bles growing-beets, cabbages, etc
up closely to road running through
it. The road is sixteen feet wide.
To our utter astonishment the two
dogs put the entire flock through that
garden in the road described, and
not one plant aOas nip1oed!
We have read much heretofore, of
stock being trained, 80 as to be driven
through growing crops without inju-
~, but this is the first practical DEM
stration we ever witnessed.

Whether to Others or not we cannot

SPECIAL PREMIUMS.

A time-honored custom has prevail
ed at most county and State Fairs
of offering individual or special pre-
miums. We notice this year that the
custom is being more than usually OBJ.
served throughout the country
In Atchison County, No., opposite
US, prominent farmers and business
men are offering special premiums.
Some in cash some i'm agricultural
Implements some in stock. Parlin,
Orndorf & Co., of Canton, ILL.,, offer
the fine plow that took the premium
at our State Fair last year as special
premium for the best twenty acres of
corn, at the Nebraska State Fair this
year. If any of our merchants or
business men desire to offer anything
we will hear from them. Two years
ago our merchants were very liberal
in this way, and the consequence was
and increased interest i'm the Fair.
Our grain dealers are particularly in
terested in this matter.

ExplanAfion to Life Members ant
Holders Of Premium Certificates IN
Nemaha County Agricultural and
Mechanical Association.
We are requested by the Board OF
Directors of the Nemaha County Ag
ricultural and Mechanical Association
10 explain publicly one or two mat
ters about which there seems to be 1
want of understanding on the part OF
few friends. A few of the life-mem
bers of the county association, are OF
the opinion that they are entitled t.
free admission into the State Fair
The county society, by resolution
agreed to fit up its grounds, and tender
them to the State board, free of ex-
pense; the State board to have exclu-
sive control during the Fair, and to
enjoy all the revenue. BY this means
the State Fair was secured at this
place. The life-membors of the co,ua-
tn society, therefore, nave no more
right in the State Fair, than any one
else. In all the county fairs, however,
they will have free admission for
themselves and families perpetualIy.
Again: Some who hold old certif-
Icates or premiums awarded by the
county association, ask that tickets to
the State Fair may be issued them.
The same explanation is applicable In
this instance
Still again: Those to whom pre-
miums were awarded last year, and
Tor previous years, are presenting
their claims for payment. Last year
the treasurer remained on the fair
grounds, and at his office in Brown
vile, for two days after the fair, and
a day or two q month after, and of
which notice was given, in order to
pay off all premiums. Then again,
notice was given through the papers,
that all premiums not called for by
the first day of January, 1870, would
be considered donated to the society.
The society must fix time at which
it must close up Its fiasneial affairs, |
and ascertain its condition In this re-
spect. All premiums, therefore, not
called for by the first of Ianuary>last,
have been declared by the board do
mated. Money was in the treasury up
to that time to pay all premiums.
Since that time what funds the socie-
ty had, has been used in improving
the grounds.
