Hast ever been to Omaha,
Where rolls the dark Missouri down
And four strong horses scarce can draw
An empty wagon through the town
Where every bubble, late or soon,
From frothy substance ovornowing,
Is made very large balloon,
BY constant and persistent blowing
Where muddy waters rise and swell,
With fearful and resistless might;
Where fish are caught by sense Of smell,
Because they cannot see TO bite3
Where sand is blown from every mound,
To I'LL your eyes, and ears, and throat
Where all the steamers are aground,
Aud all the shanties are ahOatf
Where taverns haye an anxious guest
For every corner, shelf and crack,
With half the people going west,
And all the others going back
Where whisky shops, the livelong night,
Arc vending out their pOison juice
Where men are pretty often tight,
And women deemed a trille loose
Where beats and 'blacklegs,' thick as hail
Are deep in faro, cards and vices
Where real estate is still for sale,
And held at most outrageous prices
Where theaters are all the run,
And bloody scalpers come, to trade;
Where everything is Overdoue,
And everybody underpaidf

The New COmmissIoner.-We learn
that the newly elected County Commissioner, r
w. KELLEY, Esq, qualified on the 9th inst, and
entered upon the duties Of his office. II is we'll
krown to all Of oOr fellow citizens that the
duties Of the Commissioners are more arduous
than those of any other local Office. The vaiu,
Of public improvements, such as bitches, roads
and Of buildings, depends very much on their
good judgement and business capacity, while
their cost to the taxpayers may be largely di-
minished by the adoption Of Just system Of
contracts for the execution of such works.
It's nndeniable that the past action Of the
Commissioners IN these, matters has been, in
many instances, lndiscrimnate and i'll judged,
so that public works which, In this county, are
in general very costly, have become oppress-
lively burdonsome aud unjust to parties inter-
ested.
Previous to his nomination we cordially en-
dorsed Mr.. KELLEY, from the fact that his high
character and business capacity well fitted him
to discharge the duties Of Commissioner to the
satisfaction of the taxpayers at large. In as
suming the duties Of his Office we heartily trust
that, in association with his colleagues, uch ju-
dcious measures will be adopted as may ad-
vance the credit of Wood county, so that its or
ders may be no longer at the disgracefully ruin
Gus discount which has hitherto governed them.
BY proper management the credit of Wood
county, and its prosperity may be made to COM
pare favorably with the best counties in the
State.
Mr.. KELLEY has our best wishes, and will re-
ceiYe our hearty concurrence in every effort 10
promote.the public good
