In the early days, when Nebraska
was a territory, one of the members Of
the Territorial Assembly, a man of in
finite wit and unusual ability, was ad
dicted to the habitual use of ardent
spirits to such an extent as to disgrace
himself and his associates. He was
frequently labored with, and made sew
eral unsuccessful attempts at reform.
One day the Chaplain Of the Legislature
prayed that those members who were
cursed with the habit of intemperance
might be strengthened to resist temp
tation and see the folly of their ways.
Brown, the member referred to, was in
his seat, and listened attentively. A

A "Blaws.ed" Fine Team.

Dexter, the renowned tanner of male
bovines, created a grand sensation on
the streets, yesterday, by appearing in
a carriage drawn by four milk-white
oxen, all in harness and driven tandem.
The gay and festive-looking beasts
pranced along in fine style-"heads up
and tails a risin'," as our John would
say. Governor Thayer was invited to
take a ride, and was driven about for
some time by Dexter. Other gentle
men also enjoyed the novelty.
Dexter says that either of his oxen
can trot a mile in BAT. He offers to
bet any amount of money that he can
load a wagon with $500 pounds of
freight, attach his four oxen, and make
better time to Deadwood than any FOUR
horse or mule team with the same load
can possibly do.

Attempted Cattle Raid.

Capt. S. S. Kempton informs us, says
the Greeley Sun, of an attempted cat
tie raid ON a large scale that happened
last week on the Little Beaver. On
Monday noon two men came to the
Arroyo ranche-Dr. White's-with a
band of $50 cattle, and took dinner.
That night and the following one they
stopped at Wright 6 Raugh's ranch, rep
resenting that they were picking up
some estrays. Wednesday, night they
spent at Bruce F. Johnson's place.
While here, Mr.. Wright, who suspect
ed what they were about, advised them
to get out of the country and leave the
country, which they did. Thursday
night they spent with Geo. Gum, and
the last seen of them they were going in
the direction of Sidney, drying their
ponies before them. They gave their
as Owens and Watson. One
man was large, heavy set, six feet high,
light hair, somewhat grey, and light
complexion, commonly dressed, wear
ing striped overalls and a very dirty
fine shirt. His forehead was rather low,
and sloped back a little. The other
was of similar appearance, FIVE feet six
inches high, and face covered with a
beard. They had two ponies, one IA
gray, and the other a brown; the latter
had an enlarged shoulder. The cattle
were mostly owned by A. D. Wilson &
Bro, John Hittson, G%ephardt and a few
other scattering brands. 1t is supposed
they intended to drive these cattle up
to the Black Hills and sell them. 1t
wa a very cheeky affair.
