From "The Boys"
CLIFTON HOUSE, LINCOLN, EEB.,
Oct. "a. 1871.

Oct. "a, 1871. !
ED. REPUBLIcAN:-I have waited
until the present time before writing as
we have been on the wing the most of
the time since we left home, and now
shall be brief.
Two weeks ago to-day we left the
hills of the Allegheny for the plains
of the west. Came through Cleveland,
Toledo, Chicago, Clinton, Council
Bluffs, Omaha, and lit in the wonder
ful city of Lincoln, the capitol of the
young and growing State of Nebraska.
You may well believe we saw in
Chicago what will never be seen again
perhaps in centuries, the ruins of the
most wonderful confagration of mod
ern times. We drove through most of
the burnt district, and it is impossible
for the imagination to picture or con-
ceive the ruin and devastation of that
once proud and wicked city. 1 will not
trouble you with description, for you
have dozens of such descriptions ere
this. "Peace be to her ashes, as
there is more ashes than anything else.
Council Bluffs is on the Missouri
River, opposite Omaha, on the Iowa
side, and is city of some 10000 in
habitants, snugly located between the
bluffs, or hills as We would call them.
These bluffs are about one hundred feet
high, cut up in almost all Imaginable
shapes and forms, acting as wind
breakers. took stroll on the bluffs
Sunday afternoon, and witnessed the
finest panoramic view of the great and
muddy Missouri, for miles north and
south, with its ever-changing sand bars
and its beautiful bottom lands, the
finest in the world. The new high.
school building at Omaha, and most
of the city lies before you, plain to the
eye, although it is more than five miles
across.
Five different Railroads centre at
Council Bluffs, and the U. P. Bridge
is in process of construction; will be
finished by spring, making a through
line from San Francisco to New York,
without change of cars. When this is
done, Omaha is dead; in fact, it is dy.
ing now slowly but surely. Houses
to rent" on every street, but it is yet a
town of some 10000 souls. A very
fine brick hotel is being erected, also
a large and elegant high-schoOl build
ing, showing that her people are max
ing desperate struggle to regain their
former prestige. But what is still
worse for her, the great Union DEPOT,
and the machine shops Of the L. p.

We take the following items Fl

We take the following items from
the Erie Dispatch:
On Saturday, Willie, young son
of Charles Lawton, an employee of
the Lake Shore Road, his brother and
another boy went TO Harborcreek after
chestnuts, upon a freight train, and in
getting of, the train going somewhat
faster than he supposed, Willie fell and
struck his forehead over the left eye,
breaking the skin aud exposing the
skull from the eye into the roots Of the
hair, and injuring the eye somewhat,
although not serious, as is thought.
Mr.. l., was telegraphed and went down
and brought up the boy on the accom-
mediation. DIR. Thayer, the company's
physician was called, and expressed
his opinion, that the eye will be saved,
and that the skull is not injured se-
riously.
On Saturday afternoon lame man,
whose name we could not learn, in at
tempting to cross the railroad track
near the platform ON Peach street, was
struck by the engine of the Pacific
Express. His boot heel was cut off
and foot somewhat injured. He was
also hit in the hip and thrown some
dastince upon the platform, but strange
as it may seem, was not badly injured,
but he may thank his lucky stars that
he gets off with the loss of boot heel
aud lame hip.

1t is said that if puff of air
were to be blown into a vein of an
animal, death would instaataneously
follow, because circulation would be
stopped. The blood makes the entire
circuit of the human body every seven
minutes, and whenever this circulation
is impeded or any of its channels are
clogged by impurities which ought to
be carried off, disease follows-fever
or a disorder of liver or kidneys, or
serofula, or dyspepsia. To get at and
remove the source Of the difficulty use

YosT, THE PIoUs.-The Cory Blade
says: "We are informed by one of the
witnesses in the case that Mr.. G. w.
N. Yost was indicted by the Grand
Jury in Pittsburgh on Friday last, for
perjury in that patent right matter,
which was brought before the Commits
sioners at Erie a short time since"
We feel inclined to say about this man
Yost that he has come out Just about
as we anticipated, when we knew he
was attaching fulsome puffs on his own
religious zeal and Christian charity to
the notices inserted in the papers, on
the Climax, mower, and paid FOR by
the Machine Co., "of which Yost was
whom," principally. He asked every
body to buy the Climax, because he
(Y.) was pious, and was doing so much
good. We always fight shy of the
man who processes to be Indifferent to
money, and to be "doing business for
the cause of God" We'd rather trust
the man who does business on strict
and honest business principles Oil
