 be Helped Soon or Starve.
 O'NEu., Neb., Dee. 29.-For some time past stories of fearful dcstitution have come from Boyd county and vari- ous parts of Holt, but they seemed so improbable that the people hero hardly credited them. Inquiry shows, however, that the stories are not much exaggerated. The situation in Boyd county is bad, and if the people there are not helped soon they will starve or freeze to death
 J. Nj. Smith, who lives on what is called the Three-mile strip, on the state line, was in O'Neil yesterday, and he tells many narrowing and heartrending stories of the condition of the people in his part of Boyd coun- ty, and says that what is true of the people there is also true in almost all parts of the county.

 WASHINGTON, Dec 29.-The gloomy old brick mansion on Lafayette square, in which the murderous assault was made on Secretary Seward and his son the night of President Lincoln's assas- sination, and in which James G. Blaine and his son and daughter died, and which has also been associated with other memorable tragedies in Wash ington life, is to be torn down, and handsome, fire proof, steel opera house, to cost at least S250 900, is to be erected on the site now occupied by the house and it's spacious grounds.
 building permit to that effect was issued yesterday to Paul D. Connor, representing Chicago syndicate. The architects of the new building will be Wood & Lavelle, with whom are associated Messrs. Sossman and Landis, scenic artists, all of Chicago
 The house belonged until it's recent purchase, to the estate of the late James c. Blaine, by whom it was first leased and afterwards purchased and improved. The sorrowful associations of so many tragic events connected with its history, however, made it an undesirable residence.
 No more prominent site for an opera house could be found in Washington. The lot is very extensive and on the phlnf Ct de immediately across Pennsylvania ave- nue from the chief entrance to the White House grounds and adjoining the department of justice and facing the treasury department
