Nebraska CrOOs.

Omaho, August II. - The RcpubN-
can this morning publishes crop re-
ports of the ten largest grain growing
counties in Nebraska. They justify
the best predictions made in the crop
report to the middle of July. Wheat
has been somewhat damaged, but will
show II fair crop average, sixteen to
twenty bushels to the acre. Oats show
very heavy, nearly fifty bushels to the
acre. The corn crop will be immense
and the finest ever known in the
State. All the small grain seems in
good condition.

The real reason for the resignation
of Ministers Welch and Stoughton
from English and Russian missions
appears to be that the United States
does hot pay sufficient salary to enable
a representative to live in the style
which is expected of him. 1t cost
Minister Stoughton just twice as much
as he received to make his nation pre-
sent respectable appearance at st.
Petersburg.

A CURIOUS FREAK OF NATURE.-A
COW owned by Mrs. Burk, who resides
on Chase street, recently gave birth to
a calf which is one of the wonders of
the nineteenth century. 1t has only
three legs, the left fore leg being the
missing member. But the strange
part of the story is that now, after five
days have elasped since it was born,
it is as hearty and gets around on its
three legs as lively and nimbly as any
four-legged calf that ever came to dwell
upon this mundane sphere. The calf is
perfect in every respect, with the ex-
ception as above stated. 1t is now the
property of Mr.. j. b: Miller, the
butcher, who announces his intention
of raising and exhibiting it as living
curiosity. 1t can be seen at his barn,
in the rear of his residence on Chase
street.-Kane Blade,

The County Newspaper.

1t is the best read paper in the
world. No other contains news of the
marriages and deaths, to say nothing
of the divorces and births; no other
relates the accidents happening before
the doors of the villagers; no other
gives the time for the next ball, picnic
or political meeting; no other discus
ses the affairs of the town and country,
the arrival of the new goods on the
merchants counters, or new hat on
the EDITORS desk. Occasionally de-
fects and errors are overlooked by
those who have become attached to it
through its perusal for years. They
sometimes become dissatisfied with it
on account of something which has
slipped into its columns, and may stop
taking it; but the absence Of the fa-
miliar sheet ut their homes or offices,
for few weeks, becomes an insup-
portable privation, and they hasten to
it again, and possibly apologize for
having it stopped. No friendship on
earth is more constant than that con-
tracted by the reader of journal
which makes an honest and earnest
effort to merit it's, continued support.
Hence a conscientiously conducted
paper becomes favorite in the family.

accountable mishap, the lad fell, and
was hurled under car, one wheel

fellow managed to eXtricate himself
from his perilous position, and as soon
as the train passed he beckoned his
playmates to come to his assistance.
His playmates ran up the track and

The men repaired to the scene of ac-

Immediately summoned, but not
withstanding the skill of two physi-
clans, reaction failed to set in, and at
4:2o Friday morning, death came and
relieved him of his sufferings.
The deceased was bright, active,
intelligent lad, and was warmly cs-
teemed by his many little associates.
The deepest sympathy was manifested
by all over his death. His funeral,

Last week Henry Benson, of Fair
field, Va, was bitten on his foot by Il
rattlesnake at South mountain. In
returning home, a distance of three
miles, his foot was greatly swollen,
and fears were entertained of serious
consequences. A poulticc of camphor
and tobacco was applied to the bite,
and in few hours the foot was re-
duccd to its usual size, removing all
poisonous matter. He is now doing
well, and has thus given to the country
an antidote for the poison ofthe snake.
