SETTLEMENTS.

The State Teachers Association,

the present month. The railroads
offer reduced rates Of fare to all wish.
ing to attend.
During . snow storm some three
weeks since, q dwelling house in Sew
ard county was struck by lightning
| and almos, destroyed. A little girl
was SO severely shocked that she died
the next day.
From the Fairbury Gazette We learn
that a Mr. Tanner, pitched into
Mr.. Scott, editor of the Hebron Jour
nal and gave him a complete tanning.
The trouble grew out Of sone remarks
made by the latter, concerning the aid
business.
Hon. J. Il. Mcdowell, late member
Of the Legislature. from Gage Co., has
been appointed by the President, and
confirmed by the Senate, to the posi-
fion of Register of the Lincoln Land
Office. This CONES from being on the
winning side.
From the Crete Post we learn tina,
Doane College. located ct that place
has sixty-three students, aud that the
institution ism a prosperous coalition.
The State penitentiary lost eight of
its boariers d week or two since, BY
honorable discharge" but the spring
terms of the District courts will more
than make up for that trin!ng loss.
The most prominent candidates for
the Constitutional Convention from
Gage county, seem to be Messrs Colby
and Murdoch, both of whom are good
and able men. Where's Griggs?
Beatrice has got the spelling school
mania, and offered a calico dress to
the best lady speller, and q Webster
school dictionary to the best gentle
man speller.
The new steam Touring mill at Be-
atrice is completed and has begun
business, to the delight Of the citizens
Of that place.
Mr.. Coleman, of the Beatrice En-
press has disposed Of his interest in
his paper to Mr.. Brown. We Judge
from the announcement that he has
secured an appointment at Washing
ton.
Another slmpleton lost his money in
Omaha, at the three-card monte bust
ness.
Gen. Ord, who for a long time past
has commanded the Department Of
the Platte, with headquarters at Oma-
ha, has been transferred to another
command aud Gen. Crook takes his
place. Probably no man in the State
has done more for the State during
the present crisis than Gen. Ord, and
he will be followed by the blessings of
thousands of our citizens.
The Lowell Register has got out an
other issue with the inevitable map
1t is very incorrect, inasmuch as it.
doesn't make Red Cloud the future
great railroad center of the west,
Mr.. Merchant, late pro p~rietor of
the Clifton House, Lincoln, went on
a visit east" some weeks since. and
some Of his fellow citizens Of that vii
lage mourn his absence to the extent
of various amounts long since due.
The Omaha and Lincoln papers are
warning everybody against going to
the Black Hills, and at the same time
publish everything that will serve to
incite enthusiasm in that matter.

The time is rapidly approaching

The time is rapidly approaching
when our citizens will be calsd upon
to select those who are TO represent
them in the Constitutional Convention
which meets in May. A column might
be written advising hat none bot the
best AID most able men be chosen for
a position which involves 50 great a
responsibility, but this our people al.
ready know. No doubt, some Of the
best lawyers Of the State will be mem
bers Of that body, as well as intelligent
men Of other ayocations. The tearing
out Of an old, and substituting there
for, a new constitution is, from the
nature of things, something that
should be done In the most careful
manner, without undue haste, aud
with only the object in view of secur
ing the greatest possible amount Of
good from the change proposed.
The necessity of q new State Consti.
tuition is to apparent too need argu-
ment. But q great difference Of opn-
ion exists as to the best course 10
pursue in the matter. 1t is urged by
some. with a show Of plausibility, that
the only changes needed are increased
representation and a larger number of
Judicial Districts, while others insist
that our whole system should be wiped
out root and branch, and a new start
taken. VIZ are inclined to believe in
the latter plan. Ii there is anything
good 10 the present constitution, any
thing suited to our wants as o great
AID growing State, that cannot be bet
tered by a change, adopt it, not be-
cause it a part Of our present law, but
upon its intrinsic merits. Let US,
however, begin anew, and endeavor to
take the right start. This Topping off
a branch here and there may improve
the quality of the fruit, but it will be
the same fruit. Grating new fruit
into old branches, may do fora season,
but eventually, the vigorous growth
of the graft" will be out of proper
ton to the old stock, and therefore it
will be short-lived.
With the experiences Of the past to
guide our Convention. that body need
not consume q great amount Of time
ia preparing a constitution acceptable
to the people and suitable to their ne
cessities. The constitution rejected
four years ago was a very good, and
with few changes, would, we believe,
be acceptable.
Our platform is a new Constitution,
not q tinkered-up concern, with our
present Constitution as the basis.

The excitement resulting from the
reports Of rich gold deposits in the
Black Hills has spread Owe, the
country, AMI thousands are preparing
to go fortune hunting as soon as the

have any terrors to the fiontiersman

should be found in any considerable
quantities. In the meantime, it is

The District Convention for the
purpose of nominating two candidates
for the Constitutional Convention is
eallsd to meet at Tasting on the 3o;h
inst. Inasmuch as no one from this
county could or would attend the
meeting that fixed the apportionment,
and time and place of holding the
convention it may not be in good
taste for us to offer any criticisms on
the subject. But in one or two re-
spects the thing has a bad look.
In the first place, the appor,ion-
inent is anything but just. Either
of the counties of Adams or Webster
has four times the population of
kearney. and yet the latter county is
given FIVE delegates to Webster ten
and Adams twelve. But as the as
pirants FROM Kearney county, as we
understand the matter, are well
worthy Of that or any other position
we viii waive the question of appor.
tioument for the present.
In the second place, the time an
pointed is open to a very serious OBJ
lection. From the 3Oth of March to
April 9th is altogether too short a
time for a candidate to be before the
people. This has a bad look about il.
1t certainly would appear to an out
slider that the candidates would have
little or no time to give their views
upon the various points" and the
people will have no time to discuss
the fitness Of those asking their suf:
frages This is not, or should not be,
. partisan matter, nor should anyone

The Last Bank Robbery.


Last Monday, while the president
of the Bank of Huntingdon, West
Virginia, John II. Russell, was at
dinner, leaving Robert T. Oney,
cashier, in charge, four mounted
men rode up to the door. Three OF
them entering and instantly jump
ing over the counter, wreathed Mr..
0ney's head with the muzzles o;
four revolvers. The combination
doors to the safe were open, but the
reserve fund door was locked.
They turned Mr. Oney's head in
that direction, and ordered him not
to attempt to look any other way,
but to open the drawer He, think
ing to gain time, refused and de-
tanned the robbers ten minutes, but
they assured him they were brother
soldiers in Mosby's command, and
knew their man, and notwithstand
ing his pluck, meant TO kill him in
stantly if he did not comply. The
four large revolvers pressing against
his head were too much to bear, and
the drawer was opened. A cOlored
mar coming in about this time had
a revolver presented to his head,
and was commanded to keep quiet,
which be dad. The robbers finding
only $4,000 accused the cashier of
having more, saying they expected
the bank to have $4,000. They
asked Oney ii lie had any personal
deposits, and he answerered them
no; but while cOoly examining the
books they saw that he had just
credited himself with 81 so. The
leader took from the stolen funds
this amount and handed it to him,
that they did not wish his money.
He replied that if be had got to his
revolver they wouldn't have got the
money; bat they told him it wasn't
any,account any how, which on IN
yestigation, proved true, showing it
had been tampered with. They
then took the cashier out into the
street, mounted their horses, and
assuring him that he was a gentle
man, rode away double quick in a
southerly direction over the hills
and dales TO freedom.
The town was the scene of great
excitement, and police officers and
citizens with shotgIns and revolyers
Immediately started in pursuit, but
have not been heard from. Mr..
Oney thinks there. were two foot
men, and that a transfer Of the
money was made at the door, but
the revOlvers were not good specks,
and he is not sure.

A Soft Answer.

The husband was OF quick tenn
per and often inconsiderate. They
had been married a year, when one
day, in q tit of temporary wrath, he
said to his wife:
81 want no correction from you
II you are not satisfied with my
conduct you can return to your
home whence / took you and find
happiness with your kind"
! "If leave you," returned the un
happy wife, will you give me back
that which l brought to your
"Every dollar. I eovet not your
wealth, yon shall have it all back. "
"Ahw she answered, 81 mean not
the wealth of gold. / thought not
Of dross. 1 mean my maiden heart
my first and only lOve-my buoy
ant hopes and the promised bless
ings OF my womGnhood. Can you
give these to meY"
A moment OF thought-Of convui.
sion-and then taking her 70 his
arms:
mo, no, my wifel / can not dc
that, but will do more; will keep
them henceforth unsuliied and un
panied. l cherish your blessings
as my own; and never again God
helping me, will I forget the pledge
1 gave at the holly altar, when you
gave your peace and happiness to
my keeping"
How true it is that a soft answer
turneth away wrath; aud how many,
oh. how many Of the bitter strifes oi
domestic life might be avoided by
remembering and acting IN accor.
dance therewith.

LYNNFILLE.


Last weeks excitement seems to have
been followed by corresponding de-
preston. Few people have been 10
town this week and very little that
VIII intefest your readers has tfanspir-
ed here for several days past. Mr.. 4.
w. Mitchell, whom we mentioned as
! being sick at our last writing has re-
turned, and although quite feeble, ap-
pears to he slowly recovering. We
expect, in short time TO see "Elick"
perambulating our streets as la former
days with his health fully regained.
Mrs. Reddick, wife of Mr.. Reddick of
the firm Of Kuhn and Reddiok, at this
place, died on the 10th inst. She leaves
a husband and three little children, the
youngest only three months old, to
mourn her loss. The bereaVed have the
tenderest sympathy OF our entire COM
munity. We have had almost iReessant
rain here tor thirty-six hours, the
creeks past fOEshug, aud already mud
enough for mid-winter, sets US 10 think
ing, with horror too, of our country
roads. During the summer season they
are for most part, pretty firm, and by
taking advantage Of the best side and
jumping or falling over an occasional
gully, we manage TO travel over them
with tolerabie facility, at least it seems
tOlerable facility to those of US who
have been accustomed 70 dragging
through their bottOmless depths of mire
and mud during the wint0r. Through
the inter tlte ovefseef- says Il is too
rainy, too much mud, too much water
or the groH:td is too hard frozen, and
it is too cold, TO work now, as soon as
winter breaks III put my road in good
order. Well winter breaks; the farmer
has his land to plow, his crop 70 plant,
the overseer says too much work, can't
stop now, but will have the road well
and graded before winter, you
must wait until crops are laid-by, when
the ploWing is all done, the weather is
too hot the ground too dry and hard as
soon as it gets little cooler shall be
done this time, it is put-oif from week
to week until cotton is 10 be gathered,
wheat s.nd rye sOwed &C. &c. Long
before ait this is done, winter with all
her rain, mud aud freezes is here again.
Thus il goes from Christmas to Christ
mas agd CHE roads are never worked.
Now can some one tell-us who is to
blame for all this, Certainly somebody
Is at faoIt Either our Grand jury or
County Courts are Fesponsible We
have often heard an Overseer complain
that he has made repeated application
for an Appropriation with which to buy
the tools necessary to do-tis work. and
tailed to get IL. And living here, in
the centre OF circle, with radius of
five miless that contains more impassa-
BILE roads than nearly any-Other locali-
ty in the county, we do not remember
ever to have heard of true-bill against
A road overseer. Hence we conclude
that both Grand Jury and Celnty
Court are as much at fault-as any body,
more. ANON.

Why Men Become Bald.

Because they wear close hats and
caps. Women are never bald.
Sometimes from long-continued
headache, heat in the scalp. bad
hairdressing and some other causes,
women may have bare spots here
and there; but with all these com
bined, you never see women with
a bare, shiny, bald head. And you
never see a man lose a hair below
where the hat touches the skull. 1t
viii take it off as clean as you can
shave it down to that line, but never
q hair below, not if he has been bald
fifty years. The common black stiff
hat, as impervious as sheet iron, re-
tains the heat and perspiration.
The little hair glands, which bear
the same relation to the hair that
the seed wheat does to the plant
above ground, becomes weak from
the presence of the moisture and
heat, and finnlly become too weak
TO sustain the hair. It falls ont,
and badness exists. A fur cap we
have known to produce complete
badness in a single winter. A man
with a good head of hair needs very
little protection where the hair
grows. Women who live much
within doors and who are, there
fore, susceptible to the cold, oil
their hair and plaster it down hard
and dat upon their skulls, so as to
destroy nine Jenths of its power as
u nOn-conductOr, have worn for
years postage stamps Of bonnets
stu. k on the back of their skulls,
then going out of furnace heated
parlors, have ridden for hours in a
very cold temperature without tax
ing cold without complaint.
