La novel feature of the wedding at
Dir. Listers residence on Wednesday
evening, of last week, was the render
ing of the following original poem,
under the above title, by Mrs. A. J.
Duniway, editor of the Ne,O Northwest,
as supplement to the beautiful and
appropriate marriage ceremony by
Rev. 0. Dickinson:l
Mr.. Murphy. of Salem, felt lonely and sad,
And he sighed, DER his single condition.
20, what shall do to make my heart glad?
This cheerless seclusion is really too bad
For a man in my social position
"Theres attraction for me in a Church, o'erthe
way,
And feel under solemn conviction,
I'll visit that Church, and while there I will
pray,
And promise, If she will believe what say,
To fulfill every ardent prediction.
o, that was n very conservative Church,
Ee had fears, lest she'd fail to receive him,
But he vowed that before he'd be left in the
lurch,
He'd bow and confess to the beautiful Church,
And pray that she'd try to believe him.
Mr.. Murphy grew thin he wassiclS at his heart,
And he dreaded the trying ordeal,
And he sighed DER his sin, (which was living
apart
From the Church Of his choicc,) then he tried
every nrt,
10 prove his conviction was real.
OF course It's the duty of Church, such as this,
To receive in her welcome embraces,
The rapturous convert, rejoicing in bliss,
Who sealeth his vow with ring and a kiss,
AS he bows at the throne of her graces.

During the mast winter we have had

about the Goth of Feb. but since then,
the weather has been warm and every
thing is thawed out, and the grass is
growing finely. Stock is doing very
well now. But very few died here,
but there were great many ready to

came, but they are all right now and

For SALEM.-Last Tuesday another
delegation was sent to the Watkinds
Mansion at Salem from this county.
This time it only consisted of two per-
sons, named Andrew Dougherty and
A. o. Smith. The first named is sent
as delegate from this city, and goes
to Salem to be fed and clothed at the
expense of the State for three years
for getting away with revolver and
some coin belonging to friend. Mr.
Smith halls from the vicinity of
Brownsville, and goes up for term of
two years, for embarlxing too heavily
in the stock business. He approprla-
ted one of his neighbors' horses to his
own use, sold it on time, was tried by
o justice and found not guilty; was
then brought mp before Judge Bon
ham, plead guilty and was sent to the
Penitentlary before he could collect
his note. AS our citizens have found
out that Mr.. s. is not success in the
stock business, they have concluded to
learn him the art Of hrick-making.

A MARROW EscAPE.-Te White
field, a young man of this city, met
with serious and almostfatal accident
last Wednesday. He and S. Mont
gomery had been over to the farm of
the latter gentleman, about three
miles on the other side of the river,
and as they were returning, shotgun
which Ted had resting between his
legs was exploded, caused by one bug
gy wheel running into rut and thus
making the hammer Of the gun catch
on the seat. The entire charge Of the
gun, which was loaded with fine shot,
entered the side Of the head just be-
low the right ear, ranging up between
the flesh and scull and severing from
the head all that part OF the ear in
front of the opening. Just above the
ear the temple artery was severed,
causing him to lose so much blood that
he was entirely insensible when he
was brought to town. The flesh on the
side Of his face is laseerated in terri
bic manner, and is also so badly powder
burnt that friend could hardly rec
ognize him. As soon as the accident
happened Mr. Montgomery took the
lines and drove with all haste to this
city, where the sufferer was placed IN
der the care Of Dr'.s Plummer and
Rice. Yesterday morning the patient
was some better, butowing to the large
loss Of blood il will take some time fol
him to recover.

An Interesting Letter from Knnsas--A Ter
rible State Of Anairs-A Letter that can
be Relied Upon as Giving Facts.
The following extract is taken from
letter received few days since by
Mr.. j. L. Stewart, Of Harrisburg pre-
cinct, from an old friend now hving in
Kansas:
DRYDEN, NEB., Feb. %, 1875.
Mr.. JOHN l.. STEWART,
My Dear Sir:-Agreeably to your
request, will give you true account
of things as they stand here. AS for
me, am not in need above my abili-
ties to supply, but many of my neigh
bors are. The fact is, that in rare
cases there is u chance for one to get
his food, etc., by the charity of those
who may have enough and a little to
spare. l am teaching school and my
wages are $1.50 per day, but not more
than one in ten of heads of families
are so favorably situated, and fully one
half are actually destitute of the bare
necessities of life. This refers 10 Thay-
Ell Co., Nebraska, and adjacent coun-
ties East, South, and North, while the
situation is worse as you go westward
nearer the frontier, until you get into
a country where fully nine out of every
ten are in actual danger of starvation
should not charity supplies be furnish
ed them?
The destroyers were drouth and
grasshoppers. The first, drouth, set in
about May 25th and continued through
June, July, and most of August. This
made q short wheat crop, while corn,
potatoes, turnips, garden fruit-trees,
ETC., were totally destroyed in the
middle Of July by locusts. / can give
you no adequate idea of the number of
them, but you may let loose your wild
est imagination and will probably then
fail to see il as bad as it is The effect
produced will help you to q partial
consideration of the number of them.
Cornfields were completely stripped OF
leaves in two or three hours; gardens
and potato patches were left without
vestige of verdure; onions were eat
en- down into the ground; the timber
was left as bare as it is at the date OF
this writing; and everywhere the drop
pings of the grasshoppers could be gath
cred by the bushel or wagon load.
They were visible in the air for 60 days
first appearing about May Goth, but
they did not come down until abo 1T
July 18th. To add TO these misfortunes
we are far from a market, and all the
farmer could get for his wheat was
about so cents per bushel; and it die
not average in Kansas and Nebraska
over 8 bushels per acre. Stock is now
in good condition and have needed but
little feed; but most of the horned cat.
tie were driven out last fall, particular
ly from the frontier.
My wife requests me to say that the
next move we make will be to Oregon
for she is, (she adds tired of living
without flowers, birds or vegetables.
think that not less than 10000 per
sons in Nebraska, and 10000 or $4,000
in Kansas, will need aid from nov
until about August. People have gon'
East in great numbers, probably one
half leaving some counties, but fev
have left the Eastern counties. Kan
sas is not an agricultural State, but /
is q good cattle growing State, bu
am compelled to conclude after al
experience Of five years, that that
all it is good for.

Amanda c. Hill, wife Of Andrew
Hill, and daughter Of Andrew Cow
on. Mrs. Hill has been a sufferer
from pulmonary consumption for
some time, and was last fall taken to
California in the hope that change Of
climate would benefit her health, but
all the efforts Of her friends in her be-
half proved futile, and she kept on
sinking under the effect Of that dread
disease. About three weeks ago her
husband brought her from California
to Salem, where she stayed at the res
ilence OF Mr.. John HaclZlemaD, heI
hrother-in-law, until the time Of heI
death, which occurred at five o'clock
last Saturday evening. Her remains
were brought to this city last Tuesday
and placed III the Congregational
Church, where at two o'clock in
the afternoon funeral services were
conducted by Rev. Jos. Emery, assist.
