- The Nebraska City Press thinks
1t has discovered a hole through
which the city may escape from a
$40, 900 obligation. It is this: In
1872 when the city council voted on
the proposition to sell to w w. Bell
bonds to the amount of $4,000, the
vote was tie-three for and and three
against the pFopoSition-then the
Mayor voted in the affirmative and
the bonds were sold 10 Bell. AS the
city received and used Bells money.
we guess 1t will have to pay the bonds.

WHIFNEY-January9 8, 1873, at
the residence of the brides uncle, Mr.. James
Whitney, by Rev. Ellis, Mr.. w. V. Gordon,
OF Nebraska. and Miss Mary NJ. Whitney, of
Sciola, Montgomery county, Iowa.
We gladly make this announ cement. Mr..
Gordon is an occasional correspondent of the

not personally acquainted with the bride.
we have reason to believe that she possesses
AL the virtues and graces neceSSar to make
agood wife. and that MT. 6. has made a good
choice. May their lots be cast in pleasant
piaces. and may Father Time deal gently
with them.
The above is clipped from the columns OF
the Red Oak Qowa) Express. and as Mr.. Cor
den Is resident OF Nemaha county. give II
place in The ADVERTISER that his friends

Tennessee River Improvement.

Knoxville Tribune: Work In the
Tennessee river at Muscle Shoals is pro-
grcssiBg favorably. A force is now en-
gagged In cutting a channel through the
lodges of rock in the bed Of the Ten
nessNEfiver between Bainbridge and
Florence, q distance Of six miles, in
which there remains eight hundred
feet Of rock to be worked out. The
width Of the cut Is one hundred and
fifty feet. The surveys Of the Govern
,ment engineers have established the
fact chat the rock in the bed Of the river
ia not Of indefinite depth, as has gener-
ally been assumed, but that it varies
from two to six feet in thickness, lying
on gravel or mud, which will be re-
moved by the current after the rock is
blasted ont. The plan adopted by the
engineer in charge is to drill holes en-
tirely through the ledge, in which to
sink dynamite, that break the rock into
pieces which can be lifted by the der
ricks. Its estimated that q further ap-
preparation by Congress Of $500, 900 will
suffice for the completion Of the work
within the next two years, thus eX-
tending the Mississippi navigation to
Knoxville.

~ declared in favor OF Irewhitt
for Circuit Judge.
After the withdrawal OF Gaut
Hon. John w. Ramsey seeing
that himself and Trewhitt could
not both be elected, withdrew in
favor of Trewhitt. Thus Trewhitt
has a clear field against NOrthrup
and Hoyle, and his election is
conceded by from one thousand
TO two thousand.
In this election if Bradley coun.
ty does her duty she will give
Trewhitt at least one thousand

From the Washington special to the
Cincinnati Commercial it seems to us
that it is about time that the great
fraud Investigators be investigated
in turn by some honest committee. The
special says:
"To-day a cheek for $j28, drawn by
Clerk Adams in favor Of j. VI. X. Will
cox, was paid at the Treasury. vii cox
was one CT the experts hired TO unearth
Republican frauds. This check shows
that the law was violated to- pay him,
and the check is endorsed fuel and
OIL" meaning that it was drawn from
an appropriation for fire and lights.
This is a gross irregularity, as bad as
any that the expert has been able to
dig up in his hunt for frauCs. 1t is be-
lieved at the Treasury that the tim"
has come to investigate the inycstiga-
tors,
