Weather. generally fine for this
season ef the year, ..8G5.-
The general health Is good
There being but little or no sickness
throughout the precinct.
The Epizootic is "doing well''
here, many of the farmers having no
teams to use, all their horses being
afflicted.
! Most Of the farmers are busily
engaged in gathering their corn, and
but very few have finished. Better
'look little out" boys or you'll have
cold fingers before you get through.
We understand that Prof. Hub
bard, formerly of Williams county,
Ohio, has organized several vocal
music classes in this and other locali-
ties, which are progressing finely.
The Professor is man of energy and
ability, and means business.
We notice that Mr.. Warren Cum
Minis has been building a neat and
comfortable looking residence, and,
also, that Mr.. Felix Setz has just fin
ished a fine dwelling house. Mr..
Setz and Mr.. Cummins came here in
an early day, and know what it is to
experience the handships of the home
steader's life, consequently they will
know how to appreciate the comfort
of their new abodes.
Mr.. William Cummins has been
putting up large storehouse and
granery, over which the Masonic Fra
ternity is erecting q fine hall. The
building is nearly completed, and we
have heard it whispered that it is to
be dedicated by an oyster supper.
Dish 'em up, brethren, you couldn't
hit us in the neck with anything
more palatable.
We understand that the MASON
ic Goat" having had good care, has
thus far escaped the "Epizoot," and
is in fine trim, name and tall shearsd
in the latest style and ready for any
victim who wishes to to take his in
itiatory ride.

VIykCH,S LECTURE.

notwithstanding the extreme cold,
and the prevalence Of the Epizoot,
McPherson's Hall was well filled on
last Friday night to listen to the
promised feast there to be dOled out
by Vissch of the st. Joe Gazette, and
Bephew of II. II. Nisscher, Esq, one
of the leading aud worthiest citizens
of Omaha. And well were the crowd
repaid. The lecture was a discussion
of the kinshfp of Humnr and Pathos,
In which the lecturer took the ground
that the man who laughs is the man
who cries. The first portion of the
ffecture abounded in happy hits, puns
and laughter provoking witticisms.

was a tribute to the memory of Geo.

in tones deep aud full of energy and

wit and sarcasm cleaned through it

His eloquence was as grand and lofty
as the mountains and as sweeping as
the torrent that dashes their gorges.
His humor was as rich and sparkling

as keen and cutting as the best Da-

At the time Of his birth a furious
storm was raging throughout the
country; his life was one almost con-

bowl was broken and the silver chord
unstrung and the spirit of the great
man took its flight to the God who
gave it, the skies wept rain drops for
his memory. the bleak winters winds

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.

1t IT, really diverting to hear certain
Literal newspapers in
this State urging the coming Legisla-
turs 10 forget past differeuees-to ig-
more strict party lines and place Dem
ecnass ia position-especially in edu-
catfonal matters. The Omaha Herald
wants the cosAiBg vacancies in the
Board of University Regsats to be
filled by Democrats, in order TO SAGE
the institution" At the same time
this paper is daily denouncing and de-
claring our State University uncalled
for and of no use. This sounds like
the old rebels lighting to preserve
the constitution" We have no pa
tience with such balderdash. While
we are pleased to know. and admit
that there are many Democrats fully
imbued with the true educational
spirit, and woml.!. fill the positions re
faT:ed to honOrably, creditably and ef-
ficiently, we DO not propose to forget
the facts that universal education is
one of the principal foundation stones
upon which the Republican super
structure was erected. That on the
onset this very principle was combat
ted by the Democracy openly and
above board, and is TO this day by the
fosils of that party. The Republican
party being the author of this feature
in our system of government, We con-
slider it fully competent to manage
and carry it out. And as our party is
to be held responsible for the admin
istration of affairs during its term of
possession, We insist that it will be
doing only its duty by putting none
but Republicans on guard" The ed
ucational affairs of our State, under
Republican administration, have been
placed far in advance of any other
State in the Union at our age, and We
believe we have an abundance of men
In our own party who can and will
continue to push forward this impor-
tant interest.

A Big Thing for Nebraska.

Nebraska bids fair to have develop

time. mineral resources equal, if not
superior, to any of her Eastern sister
States. In addition to our favorable
prospects for cheap fuel to be dcvel-
0ped by our Lincoln Coal Company,
We have company formed in the
city, for the development of a new in
dustry in Seward county, who have
secured valuable leases. The new
discovery consists of strata of lime
so free from carbon and other foreign
substances that it is used for plaster
ing without burning, by simply slack

ordinary quantity of sand, and a stra

ed by good Judges to be equal. if not
superior, to the famous New Jersey
Silicate which is shipped to the Mid

Broyynville High school Exhibition


1t is the purpose, and we believe it
is the destiny of Nebraska to build up
a comparatively perfect system of ed
ucation. Already nearly every pre-
cinct, town and city i'm our young
State Is adorned with good, comfort
| able and commodious school houses.
And these, the symbols of our rapid
! ly advancing civilization, shows
bright beneath our western sky. And
well, for the quick coming genera
tons of the future, is it, that we, as a
people. place so high an estimate on
intellectual culture, for our earthly
wants are but the tarnished and IA
ding semblance of mortality, while
the mind is the peerless gem of the
ages, and like the diamond, its only
earthly representative will continue
to grow in beauty and luster as untold
centuries fleet by.
But we have often thought that too
light an estimate has been placed on
the province of the toiling, tired
teacher. How true, and noble, and
earnest his work is, and his glory
should be greater land well we know
it is purer) than those who have foun-
ded empires, reared splendid cities,
and swept triumphant and conquer
ing over fields of wide wasting and
devastating war.
How thoughts like the above crowd
fresh upon the brain as we come fresh
from the holiday examination of the
BrownvilIe High School, where the
students had been allowed to elimi-
nate their own themes, and every
thought and word In each thesis
showed the personal liability. tact, re-
search and effort of the pupil. And
from all the papers we have read, sat-
isfied are we that each of the scholars
worked out his or her own thoughts
and opinions. In our school, each
student is required to make an analy-
sis of sentences-in other words, TO
take sentences to pieces and recon-
struct them, the entire class acting as
critics.
As we entered the school room q
song was being sung, after which
Chas. Shellenberger read an admira-
bic essay on the Earth" in which
the author took the position that Sci
enee and Revelation harmonized, or
would where each are perfectly un-
derstoed. The production was GER
tainly an able one. giving evidence of
research and originality.
Then came a recitation, lover the
River" by Ada Hayes, well and
prettily delivered.
Cora Gates then read an essay on
Rivers" nicely rendered and well
received by the auditors.
Ada Morgan, o. Alderman, Ada
HAYES and Maggie Libbie then read
"Warren's Address to his Soldiers"
which they did in concert, and good
style.
Then, under Prof. Dye, al echo
song was rendered, which ELECTED the
of all present.
Ada Morgan then read "Hallowed
Ground" with good effect.
But the most pleasing to US, OF the
entire course of the exhibition, was
the essay of 6lorence Smith, on 1.-THE
Unity of the Human Race" This /
essay gave evidence of originality and |
acute preceptive powers. which would
have reflected credit upon matron or
sire. If Miss, smith but cultivates
her reasoning faculties and compost
ton, she will adorn. the CIRCLE in
which she radiates through life. !
