desire it.
M. A. Upton has again been
placed i'm confinement, his mental
faculties becoming deranged once
more. All the time that he was re-
Gently at liberty, it was noticed that
his mind had not become fully res
tored. 1t has been definitely decid-
ed, we believe, to have him sent to
the State asylum for the insane
!Schuyier SIN.
The premium lists for the forth
coming State Fair are printed and
in the hands of the Acretary, ID. ii.
Wheeler, of PlattsmoLth. Would
it not be well for our farmers to
send for copies and look about and
see what they will have to take to
the fair. You may have something
that you may think not worth ex-
hibiting, but to others it might be
very interesting.

-Pedestrianism in Columbus is
looming. Our neighbor, the New
York Cheap Cash Store, boasts of
two professional "walkists," the first,
Mr.. Edward Kenn, better known as
slim" Kean and still better by the
size of his No. l3 boot; the other is
Mr.. "Nimrod" Harris. They walk
ed to Jackson against time the other
day, but time combined with Ne
braska's gentle breezes, beat them.
If you mention walking to Jackson
to "Nimrod" he Immediately walks
off "on his ear" but "Jim" Kenn
will start off on a walking match to
the Black Hills as soon as the grass
grows so that he can feed on the
way.

lord, for Vice President of the
United States.-NeW Vest Monthly.

reditably fill the Office of President
