E. D. WHIrE.-The decease Of our es-
teemed friend Edward D. White did not
take any of his friends by surprise. His
health had been falling for several years,
and the death which came 90 gradually
upon him brought no terrors with it. Few
nen in this community were SO generally
known az the deceased. A resident of this
city for thirty years, his active employ
ment had familiarized him with every part
Of it and every where he was known and
respected for the upright, honorable char
acter which his undertaking career had es-
tablished for him..
AS Catholic, hardly higher encomium
could be pronounced upon him, that of
w. Rev. Father Cornelius Moynihan in his
funeral eulogium. Mr.. White, he said, was
the greatest friend Of the priest he had ever
known. At no house was there 80 warm a
welcome az at his for the priest, whether
friend OF stranger. His hospitality, warm
hearted as it was for all, was proverbial in
regard to the clergy aud he was never SO
we'll pleased as when his family circle was
enlivened by an evening visit from one or
more of them. This virtue, if more general,
would probably tend to bring for others as
peaceful and happy end as was his.
Mr.. White was native of Bandon, Coun-
ty Cork, Ireland, where, no doubt, the
tidings of his death will bring something
of that grief with which it has weighed
down his family, more especially his de-
voted widow, who are in our midst.

Leaving the East and arriving at Chicago or

The best Line is acknowledged to be the c., b.
d O., joined together with the b. & NJ. Railroad
BY the Iron Bridge at Burlington, and called
the Burlington Route.
The mann line OF the Route running to Oma-
ha, connects with the great Pacific Roads, and
forms to-day the leading route to California.
Ihe Middle Branch, entering Nebraska at
Plattsmouth, passes through Lincoln, the State
Capital, and will this year be finished to Fort
kearney, forming the shortest route across the
Continent by over 100 miles.
Another branch of the Il. NJ, diverging at
Red Oak, falls into q line running down the
Missouri through st. Joe to Kansas City, and
all kansas Passengers by this route to Kan
sas, see Illinois, Southern Iowa. and Missouri,
and, by slight divergence, can see Nebraska
also.
Lovers OF fine views should remember the
Burlington Route, for it's towns "high-gleam-
ing from afar"-its tree-fringed streams-its
rough bluffs and qusrnes-its corn-oceans
stretching over the prairies further than eye
can reach.
Land-buyers will be sure to remember it. for
they have friends among the two thousand who
have already bought farms from Geo. 3. Harris,
the Land Commissioners OF the B. a NJ II. r..
at Burlington, Iowa, or among the four thou
| sand home steaders and pre-emptors who last
year filed claims in the Lincoln land Office.
