far from there being any cause fer the cry
of hard times in our midst, Watertown has

course of erection on our business street.

facilities for trade, and add much to the
beauty of the business portion of the city.
But improvements are not confined to our
business street alone. In various parts of
the city we notice number of fine
dwellings in course of erection, and a great
many Improvements of different kinds going

runs almost Immediately in the center Of
the great westward movement of emigra-

These three points are the gateways into
three great sections of the trans Missouri re-

The Northern gate is Omaha, where the
great Pacific road will take you to the land

perpetual summer.
The middle gate is Plattsmouth. which
opens upon the soath half of Nebraska,
south OF the Platte river, a region unsur-
passed on the continent for agriculture and
grazing. Just here are the b. Il NJ. Rail-
road lands, concerning which Geo. 5. Har-

cert Lottery than we we're led to believe
asst week, and $500 more than the sum
stated as drawn is to be added to the credit
of our city, making the amount coming
back to us in prizes about $3.50. Dr. J. H,
Schulz held ticket for one of the $500

To BE OR NOT To BE."-We
were forcibly reminded of this quotation
when on Tuesday Mr.. j. D. Goodrich, the
caller of the Temperance Political State
Convention, was perambulating up and down
the streets in search fanny one who could give
him any information as to the arrival of any
tuted convention. Indeed we had our sus-
picions whether or not the aforesaid Good
rich was quite sure that he was delegate
or whether forsooth there had been any con-
vention called. Really the portly frame of
ouI friend did look lonesome, and he ap-
peared to realize fully his awkard position.
Several reporters from democratic papers
were on hand to report proceedings of the
meeting. One of them, representative of
the Milwaukee Nevs, appeared to be
strongly enlisted in favor of the Proposition
to nominate Temperance State Ticket
but certainly out of no selfish political mo.
tives; not at all.
We go to press too early to give any ac-
count of the meeting or to state positively
whether any was held. Up to the time of
publication friend Goodrich looked az for.
lorn as ever, and seemed to feel that the
burden of the entire temperance political
party of Wisconsin on his shoulders was
more than he could bear.

The Real Velpau Pills. Warranted Fl ench.
These pills, SO celebrated many years ago
in Paris, for the relief of female irregular
tiles are now offered for sale for the first
time in America. They have been kept in
comparative obscurity from the fact that
the originator, DR.. Yelpau is physician in
Paris, of great wealth, and has withheld
them from general use lest they should be
employed for unlawful purposes.
In overcoming female diseases Nervous
and Spinal affections, Pains on the Back

will effect cure when all other means
have failed ; and although powerful rem

talent and versatility of genius which cannot

day morning service wa. again held, when
Mr.. LEE preached, after which the Sacrament
of the Lords supper was administered. And
In the evening of the same day the conclud-
ing service WAS held, when the Bishop
preached most iorciblc sermon from the
words Why stand We here all the day idle. -
After the service the Bishop addressed the
friends Of the Chu.ch with regard to obtain
ing resident Clergyman here, which We be-
lieye viii be done shortly. Much lilt has been
,,,rusvu-intv the vuurcn by the Bishops visit,
and one gentleman has offered Five Hundred
Dollars towards the building of Church, on
verv easy conditions: one of which is that the
building must be commenced this year. The
Bishop left by private conveyance for the

We are glad to know that our friends over

The facts connected with the arrest Of
Mrs Elizabeth G.. Wharton, widow OF

United States army, published in the Sun
of yesterday, were the subject Of general
conversation in the community.
The evidence in part in the case Of Mr..
Eugene Van Ness, said to be in posses
sion of the authorities, is that, while on
visit to the residence Of the accused, ,op
the oath of June, lie drank glass of beer,
after pouring into it few drops Of tine

ken i'll and carried to bed-chamber,
where he was attended by DR., 5, c. Chew,
and also by Mrs Van Ness, his wife, un-
til the Friday following, when he was re
moved to his home. Also that q glass
of beer directly from the hands Of the ac-
cused, was offered Mr.. Van Ness and laid
aside, that its contents were afterwards
subjected to chemical examination, and
found to contain fifteen grains Of tartar

Sg~ The St. Louis Times says, in the
absence of polite Democratic language to
sufficiently express our detestation of the
carpet -bagging fraternity Of the South,
we ask the indulgence Of our readers to
quote the following from a Radical con
temporary--thc Springfield Republican
which seems to do the subject very
nearly justice:
They are doing more harm to the
country to day than the locust or cater
pillar; or any other kindred pest They
arc teaching the less intelligent and dis
criminatng SoutheIners to dcspsc and
hate the Northern people more heartily
than ever; they are debauching the freed
men; they are bringing disgrace upon the
great Republican party and upon the ma
tional government. That their rapacity
is Unsuitable, and that they steal every
penny they can lay their hands on, are
comparatively trivial counts in the in
dictmcnt against them. Yet this constant
plunlcrug is q very serious matter to the
communities which are plundcrcd. |,
means increased indebtedness and heavier
taxation. 1t is just such rascality that is
making the name Of Republican stencil
in the Southern States, and bringing sus
plcion and enmity upon honest immi-
grants And matters will not mend much
so long as needy and greedy adventures
arc appointed to responsible Federal Of
fees, and fellowshipped by Northern Re
publicaus on the floor Of Congress.

and, all the rhle, general agent for the Nash
Vile Life Insurance Company, is spending
the heated term in our town. The Colonel is
one OF those gentlemen with whom one likes
to touch palms and spend an hour in social
converse. As writer he has few equals in
the State, anu the Gazette must feel his with
drawal therefrom. Politi, llly, we believe he
is a very good republican-at leasS he Is
strong new departure democrat, which l. the
next thing TO II. Practically, he is one OF the
best insurance agents in the State, and repre-
scnts one Of the best companies in the United

Tho editor Of the Echo is not far from let
ting go his hold of RadicalSm If he and the
Colonel are so near thinking alike. The edi-
tor OF the Echo is most too honest anyhow to
be n good Radical in Arkansas ;and the longer
he lives here the better he will be convinced
that he is in the wrong boat.
