A cable dispatch of the 7th inst.,from London, in reference to thegrain market, says the Mark LaneExpress, in its weekly review of thegrain markets for the past week, saysthe weather has been muggy and un-

favorable to trade. Prices generallyhave declined about a shilling perquarter in consequence of the detonat-ed condition. Home deliveries areetill short compared with last year.Business has been heavy and importsrather less, and will probably continueto diminish until prices improve. AtParis flour declined a franc. In Ger-

many the markets have rather im-

proved, while in Belgium and Hol-

land they are dull ahd unchanged.

"The Nebraska Railway will beIroned and tied from Brownville toFall City, as soon as the weather ad-

When completed, throughtrains will run from Omaha to St.Louis via Brownville and NebraskaCity, per cohtrac"t entered into by theNebraska Railway and the A. &N.company. The Nebraska Railwaywill then be completed from Sewardto Atchison, and will be the most di-

rect route to St. Louis and the shortest route to all points east."

Will manufacturing pay in Brown-ville? is a question we often hear ask-ed. If carried on right, why not hereas well as elsewhere? The questionis now clearly demonstrated at theMarble Works in this city. In com-

County Seat Relocation.

Siieriden, Nemaha Co.. Neb.January 30th, 1876.

Editor Nebraska Advertiser.Supposing, that your valuable pa-

per, as our county paper, Intends tofurther the welfare of our county;of our whole county, I take the liber-ty to put tho following remarks atyour disposal, which are written withthe most sincere intention to do themost good to the mo3t people. The"County Seat Relocation" questionIs again before tho public and a fewremarks on the subject may be want-ed by some people In the county.

Every inhabitant of .this our coun-ty, will surely try to do the mostgood he can for the welfare of thocounty, because his own welfaredepends upon it. Our county is sure-ly behind in many ways in compar-ison with other neighboring ones.Richardson county, only one thirdlarger has more than thrice the in-

habitants and not as much vacantland as Nemaha county, has also plen-ty rail road facilities.

We only can live from the people,tho naked land does never furtherour welfare. No eastern capitalist,manufacturers or farmer will immi-grate to our county and enhance thewelfare of it, of ourselves, if not prop-er inducements are opened to him,equal to those of other counties. Bynature our county is as well fitted forsettlement as any of the rest in thestate, if not better in some rcspeots.

But let us see, where the causilies,that has kept our county back forsome years.

Tho farmer Is tho money, or moneyvalue furnishing medium ; we all,the whole universe, depends on theproduce of the soil. If the farmerfindsno market for his produce thewhole system of sustenance worksbackwards. Our county has no mar-kets equal to the products. The farm-er has to go to Nebraska City, Hum-boldt, Tecumseh, or Rulo to sell theproducts, consequently tho moneygoes toother counties and the welfareof our county is hindered. The smallvillages as Brownville, Peru, NemahaCity etc, are no markets at all, evenif for instance, Brownville exception-ally lately paid Bix or eight thousanddollars on one day, for hogs deliveredthere. Tho other western marketsdraw tbo most oustom.

Richardson has a few inland towns.All were created before any R. R.crossed the county, therefore theprosperity of it ; we have noue. We,the inhabitants of this county oughttherefore to strive to promote the in-

ducements, that are offered to easternimmigration to the utmost of ourability, tho wish for our own individ-ual welfare demands it. Let us there-fore 6trive to create a few inlandtowns; try to procure a good markedfor the products of our soil. A townis not created without nn impulse.This imputae ie now offered in tho re-

location of the county seat question.Let everybody consider this matterand not foolishly run his headagainst the wall to his own disadvan-tage..-- If thecounty seat would be movedto thajcenter of the county n smalltown would be. created there, as amatter of coursefwhich would uatur- -

flnnduce eastern iminizratfon.. tocomo here, vacaK$J8dJlrould be set-tled, new taxab'la.-prtjjhert- be created,taxes be smallqrjcoparflrf thoughperhaps afterearslarger as each in-

dividual would gain in value, and theexpenses for bridges, roads eto., wo'dbo larger. The river villages willmakejobbing or wholesaleSpIaces andrise with the county at large. A townonce created in the center of our coun-ty would naturally draw R. R. facili-ties through our county, even with-

out subsidies or land grants, as hasbeen proven by other counties, whichwould create the good long wished formarket for all the products of the soiland our money would Btay In thecounty. As a matter of justice thecounty seat ought to be in tho centerof the County, like a shool housewants to be in the middle of tho dis-

trict to give each individual the samechance and comfort. Tho much agi-

tated removal of our national Capitalat Washington to tbo center of theUnion is based upon the Same justprinciple. The official building nowowned by tho county is insufficient,every one knows. Therefore let us,

the legal voters of the whole countysign the circulating petitions andvote for the relocation of the countyseat, and Sheridan is the center of Ne-

maha count j.About six hundred have signed the

25 petitions, which are only 3 weeksin circulation, a proof, that we havean intelligent class of people in ourcounty, who are trying to further thewelfare of the whole county.

The expences accruing in removingthe county seat, do not need to bemuch more than one and a half dollarto the quarter section, if the countyCommissioners act wisely and as eco-

nomical as possible, which i3 theirduty. This tax would not need to bepaid until May 1878, giving the farmers time to raise two, we hope, boun-

tiful crops before pay day comes.Dr. A. Opperjiann.

Rational Application.Medication is only successful when it is

rational, and it is rational only when it be-

gins at the beginning. In other words, tocureamaladay, its cause must be removed.Weakness, either general or local, is" the ori-

gin of the great majority of diseases. Rein-

force the vital energies, regulate digestionand secretion, by strengthening tho crgan.swhich perform thoseall-importantfunctio- ns

and dyspepsia, constipation, kidney andbladder complaints, uterine difficulties, im-

pure circulation, and the thousand and oneailments which are the consequences of de-

bility, are completely, and in most casespermanently removed. The best, safest andmost agreeable tonic and alterative that canbe employed for this purpose Is Hostetter'sStomach Bitters, Theexperienceof twenty-flv- e

years, during which time it has outlivedperhaps ten time that number of ephemeralpreparations which have entered into com-

petition with it, has proved it to be unequal-e- d

as a remedy for all disorders accompaniedby or proceeding from weakness.

Johnson Jottings,

R. A. Hawley, of Brownville,was here last week buying grain.

The spelling-scho- ol fever is alltheragein this immediate locality.

That teaoher who had only onescholar at Echool last Tuesday musthave thought his recitations were"few and far between."

The people are very hopeful ofgood crops next season. Tho faiththat they have in Nebraska precludesall idea of discouragement.

Indeed Johnson has got a "bigstart" of Sheridan. Short-Stop- s, at arough guess, fixes our voting popula-tion at three hundred. Sheridan can'tclaim the fourth of that.

Johnson Btill lives, moves and hasits being. In the midst of this busy,bustling world, it pursues tho eventenor of its way, with an occasionalreligious squabble to break the fearfulmonotony.

E. Hikes expects to move hisfamily to Tecumseh in a few weeks.A good opportunity is offered to anyman with a moderate capital to lay ina stock of goods. This country 1b insuch condition as to demand a storeat Johnson.

Friend Bagley gives us the honorof preaching the fuueral Bervices ofthe Johnson Brevities. Wo must ad-

mit that tbo Brevities mixed a gooddeal of wit with sarcasm, and touch-ed our friend In a right tender place.We will not moralize on the excellentqualities of the deceased, but brieflysay peace be to his ashes.

Wo cannot see the point to thatSheridan writer. If anything alls uson the removal of the county seat, berefers us to Polk Price. We wonderif ho thinks Polk would have it re-

moved to Sheridan. If the aforesaidwritershould wake up some fine morn-ing, and rind the county seat on theother side of the Nemaha, wo wonderagain if he would refer us to PolkPrice, to cure our ailments.

Fairview's ideas on the girl ques-tion are sound and to tho point. Oneof the sources of matrimonial difficul-ties is the lack of knowledge on thopart of wives of the duties of house-keeping. There are a hundred youngladies who can thrum a piano to onowho can make a good loaf of bread.Yet a husband cares more for a gooddinner, than he does to listen to themusic of a hundred such angels.Heavy bread has mado many heavyhearts.

Salt alt!Wliat is all this blowing aoout Salt? Wliy, if one

man puts Salt down to $2.50 per barrel, W. T. DENhas the same right to put it doTim to S2.40 per barrel.Everybody knows the Onondaga New TTorlr. Salt, andis willing to pay $3.00 for it. Why?
