The Republican City Newt has it that the drought carried away the house of Mr. Elkins of Turkey creek, and came- down in such torrents along the valley of Tur. key creek, as to drown bull-frogs or rater nymphs, If they happened along there. The New man certainly has a remarkable idea ot what a drouth is. The Nebraska City Chronicle finds it necessary to deny that his reporter.who wrote up the "batch of lies about the base ball game played hore, drank a drop of whis ky whilst here.

Tis well that the denial has been made, as without it, everybody would suppose that the individual had drank several drops. Prof. Williams has an acre of peanuts under cultivation near Kennesaw, in Adams and expects to harvest from 100 to 200 bushels fiom it This will make a most profitable crop. The cost of seed was very the trouble of cultivation is not great. Let us hear from others on the peanut question.

It seems that the attorneys trying cases before two Justices of the Peace, in this city, day before yesterday, had a serious time of it, by letting their angry passions rise. The two couples abused each other roundly, and one of them was fined for contempt of court, in continuing to talk after being ordered by the court to stop. The picnic spoken of several days ago, as to come off yesterday, was postponed. It is now proposed by the party who had arranged the affair, to accompany the base ball players on their excursion to play the Otoes next Tuesday. It might be a good thing to do so, and make the excursion much more pleasant for every body.

A little son of Mr. H. C. Hatch who lives near Gibbon, Was drowned in Wood river on the 12th, about o'clock in tho afternoon, A' correspondent says that "tho aad accident casts a gloom over every countenance and brings every heart into sympathy with the afflicted parents."

True, of Crete, for tie city of Crete, It is to be hoped now, that ou'r" prevail ing rainy weather will give place to a dryer season, until after harvest Our iarmers will generally be in "their fields with their harvesters, in a few. days, and some of them; have' already commenced cutting barley.

A number of farmers; were in the jcity yesterday, looking fori harvest hands. Prices range from $1,75 to $2,25 per day, and the demand is good; Mr. Douglass, who now has eharge -of the Fair Grounds, where he has in train-' ing a number of promising horees.Intcnds to keep possession of the grounds in the future, hnd will make it a. feature of Lincoln and its vicinity. It is expected that parties will send their horses here" from; various portions of the State for training, as Mr.

Douglass 'is an experienced, and well-informed horse trainer. ii i' Judge G. B. Lake has granted a writ of habeas corpus, in the case of John Gordon, leader of the Blvck Hills expedition frpm Sioux City, who has been in the custody of the military since the breaking np of the expedition a few weeks ago. The application was made by Baldwin Smythe, who are Gordon's attorneys in Omaha.

Gordon will be brought to that city during the week. Julias. Grosjean, tho man who was discharged from his position as prison guard the other day, for intoxication, is reported to have said upon leaving here, that he proposed going to Omaha and filling the Bee and Eerald full of "exposures" concerning the management of the Penitentiary. Capt Wyman might feel very uneasy over this terrible threat, but we guess he don't very much. Some Germans yesterday engaged, a colored man to drive a reaper for them during harvest, and in order to get him to work for very low wages, he was filled up with beer and! other stimulants.

When he got all he could he not only refused to go to work, but proposed to whip two or three of his would-be employers, if they did not refrain from alluding to work in his presence. They refrained. G. of Cass county, was brought to Lincoln night before last, on a charge of obtaining threshing machine from Keefer by false representations'. Depnty Sheriff Hoagland brought him in Tnesday night, and lodged him in jail for a couple of hours.

Mr. Love then concluded he had better take the easiest metho of getting out of the scrape, and paid a portion of the sum, and fully secured the balance. Mr. P. Hebard returned from Illinois a few days since, where he has been for several weeks, visiting amidst old scenes.

He reports corn poor in Illinois, and in passing through Iowa on his return, found the State flooded in many places. In one place he saw the water as high as the tops of the corn stalks, and men were paddling around with canoes in the corn-fields. The track on the Creston branch was so much under water, that the engine dampers had ti, be closed and the engine plowed thr.ough as nobly as any other ship. The Nebraska City Prest says the Otoes "are not responsible for what may appear in the newspapers oi this city. As a club they have never uttered a word of complaint against rrof.

W. W. W. Jones, or found fault with the Mutuals for their treatment which they extended the visiting club. The Lincoln Jotjbxal should hereafter attack the right parties, the newspapers, and not the ball club." We are glad to know this, and in fact, lrom the insane slopping over of the Chronicle In regard to the affair, we began to think that paper was doing the work gratuitously and without the santion of the Otoe club.

The Nebraska City Pre says the work of wiping out the town of Eastport, opposite the City, is still going on. The river is rapidly encroaching, and Eastport is now called the floating city. The town has very peculiar appearance, as nearly very building Is on wheels or in a. demolished state. Thirty or forty feet of the bank if cat away daily, and the river is still rising a foot each day.

Property owners sit around on the Dank and watch their estates disappear under the surging waves of the "Big Muddy." TheK.C. road will remove its depot back to East Nebraska City, the track will betaken np and only switch track run to Eastport Mr. Flemming, Ticket Agent for the K. C. road, says that five years ago, when he first worked for the Company, in that turg, the bank was at least three-quarters of a mile out into the river, as it runs at present.

The citizens of Eastport have nearly all concluded to move back to East Nebraska City, where the depot goes, and Eastport will bo a town of tbe past, water alone marking tho spot where it used to stand RATE AND INCEST. A Kast.T Case, and a Terrible Charsro I Against Father. Justice McLean was engaged yesterday auernoon in nearing the case of the State ol Nebraska against William Shoemaker, who is charged with the double crime of rape and incest upon and with his two young daughters. The complaint was made by Charles J. McFarland, uncle to the girls.

The latter are aged, according io meir sworn statements, fourteen and sixteen years. The youeest testified that her father committed a rape upon her as long ago as 1871, when she was only ten years old, and while lhcy resided in Mich, igaa. Since then he has repeated the out-rage several times, the last offense being last April. She did not expose him until quito recently. The cider girl Bays her unnatural father outraged her last summer, while they were riding in a wagon, on a lonely prairie.

Mr. McFarland testified that Shoemaker confessed his crime. The parties live on Oak Creek, near the Lancaster county line, and Mr. McFarland has long been known as a good citizen. Shoemaker and his daughters do not appear to be np to the average in intelligence, and the examination of the girls necessarily brought out some deplorably filthy stuff.

If such, cases could nos- sibly be disposed of without being dragged into public court, it would be far better for general morality. The ease was continued until one o'clock this afternoon. Webster Burr appear for the comnlaln- Knight Philpott for the de- lenso. A Gardening Experience. A good story is told of how one of our most popular and successful business men, cultivated his garden this season.

The garden was laid out and planted by the gentleman's wife, she being experi enced in the business, while he knows about as much of gardening as he does of the Choctaw Everything was growing nicely onions, turnips, rad-ishes, cucumbers, pumpkins, squashes, watermelons and weeds, the latter beating all others two to one. Not long since the lady suggested to the gentleman that he ought to take his little hoe and wrestle some of the weeds out of existence, and he acted upon the suggestion. Ho acted well and nobly. He didn't know a weed from a watermelon vine, so the first day he carefully cut down all the vines, and left the big horse weeds untouched. He knew the onions and radishes, and they were undisturbed.

Next day he cut down all the pumpkins and squashes and on the third day ended his noble efforts by cutting down all the cucumbers. Then his wife appeared upon the" scene and gazed upon the ruin he had wrought, and after several emphatic "well, wells," she announced her determination of hoeing her own garden The gentleman's table is well supplied (with onions and radishes, but cucumbers and pumpkins will be scarce. ,1 Our Post Office and Cour House. 1 The plans and specifications for the post office and court house building.altered and amended by the new architect, arrived a few days since at the office of Supt. Reals and with instructions to invite tile bidders for stone for the original plan to send in bids for the same in the modified plan.

I regret extremely the delay which has occurredbut fully hoped when I told you the plans should be ready by the 15th of May that such would be case, but the un-fortunate condition of affairs at Chicago, called me away from my office at a time when those plans were in snch a condition that they could not be completed without my presence there.

We are requested to announce that there will be Sabbath School at the Methodist church (stone church) on Sunday morning at half past and preaching at half past ten. There was a rumor on the streets of Ne braska City yesterday, Luat Moore, bad been appointed postmaster of the city, but it could not traced to any reliable source. A large number of cattle will be driven in Nebraska this fall from other to winter. Nebraska will raise more corn this year than any before since the settlement of the State. 1 The Chronicle says the Missouri river ia still foreclosing the mortgages on the Iowa side of the river, and several of the citi zens at Eastport have been seld out of- house and home.

Let one ride In whatever direction one may, vineyard and corn fields, orchards and grove, present unmistakable evidences of the soil, and the bountiiulness of the crops, only most of the orchards and vineyard aforesaid, exist only in imagination. There is considerable inquiry here, and in fact all over the SUfte, for harvest hands, and as high as $2,50 per day has been oSered.

There is a great dearth of nelp in Seward county, and men in want of work are advised to go there at once. Mrs. L. J. Byers left for the East yester day, on a visit to friends in Indiana, being her first return since coming to Lincoln-five years ago.

Mr. Byers accompanied her to Omaha, from which place he vill soon return and Inflate the membership of our Widowers' Club. The new twenty cent coin is out, frash from the mint. On one side is a spread eagle and the two words "United States of America twenty cents," on the other side, the stars, the Qoddess and 1375. It is larger by its rim than the five cent nickel, and about the same thickness.

The harvest has begun and the hum the busy reaptr is heard. The success of the husbandman's efforts is now beyond the probability qf a wsonable doubt. Crops are all thai could be desired, and every countenance bears the impress of a happy smile. JuliusGrosjean, the guard who was wounded in the knee and crippled for life, by a shot fired by McWaters in the prison revolt last winter, was the first to fall under Capt, Wyman's prohibitory order.

If property owners generally about the city, had been as thoughtful for the future and set out trees years ao, as was the case with so many of the residents on east street, our city to day would have been much improved in appearance. street now resembles the streets in older and more thickly wooded It is an absolute pleasure to pass along that street. Mr. Lindley, tbe Captain of the Mutual Base Ball dub is not going away as hs at first Intended, but will be on hand lor the final game with the Otoes. The Nebraska City club are advised to bring all their friends along with pockets full of money, and not to do much talking about $500 bets, as they did last time.

Money will talk better than anything else at the next game.

Lee has 40 acres of the same kind. "He has also 75 acres of which he commenced cutting yesterday, and which it Is be lieved will yield about 25 bushels to the acre. "There is more comfort in twenty-four hours in tha Nebraska climate, than a week in the Eastern States," Is a remark made by a person who has been spending several weeks during the hot weather tn the Eastern States. The cool aad refresh ing breezes of Nebraska are like those of the first day when the morning stars sang together and the sons of God shouted for joy. Charles Snowden, son of Dr.

Snowden, and better known as "Demosthenes," has been studying Physiology at the University during the last term, preparatory to attending a course of medical lectures in' Philadelphia. Upon arriving at age re cently, he obtained the first installment of a sum of money left him by his grand father, with which he proposes giving himself a medical education. A few days since a man appeared to the Aid Society of the M. E. church, for a shirt, stating that he hadn't one to his back, and vsrifying his statement by removing his coat, which alone bid his nakedness, ne was supplied with the needful garment We understand that he was vouched for as being an honest, hardworking man, and that there are oth ers in the same needy circumstances.

Wa call the attention of our readers to an advertisement in another column, of fine stock for sale at the Agricultural farm. Several fine Berkshire, Poland-China and Essex pigs are to be disposed of, and a fine, short-horned, bull calf. All letters should be addressed to Prof. S. R.

Thompson, or personal inquiry can be made of Anderson Boot, on tho farm, two miles east of the city. A gentleman from Nebraska City says hat the stuff published in the Chronicle, condemning Prof. Jones' umpiring of the game here, is entirely gratuitous- and is not endorsed by the Otoes, That club found fault only with one decision of Mr. Jones, that being in the case where Lindley caught the ball and held it up with his hand filled with grass. If this is so, the Otoes owe it to themselves as well as the Mutual3 to state it publicly.

The Adelphian Society, connected with the State University, has tho generosity of Trof. Manley, a handsome-present, consisting of Rollins' Ancient History, eight volumes. They were presented as the nucleus of a future library, and the Society returned the Professor a hearty vote of thanks.

Not unfrequenUy do we see on our streets the covered wagon, loaded with household goods, followed by a few head of stock, and bearing the features which stamp it at once as belonging to some one who has come to Nebraska to better his circumstances, commonly called a pilgrim. Alte welcome, and we have stores enough locked up in our rich soil and healthful climate, to give employment 'to all who may come to enjoy it. Our city clerk informs us that his forthcoming quarterly report to the City Council, will show that the expenditures of the city during that time, for all purposes have been less than $4,000, and he estimates that the yearly expenses will be less than $15,000. This will be $43,000 less than last year, which was $28,000, to $23,000 under Mayor Silver's admlnis-tration. The heaviest expense is in the summer season, in the way of building side walks The supreme court was in session yesterday afternoon, justices Gantt and Max.

The Mutuals have about decided upon selecting the town ot Unadilla as the place where the final game of base ball hall be played with the' Otoes. The propositions of Palmyra and Syracuse were duly considered, but Unadilla has the preference. The time selected is about the 20th but this is to be ratified by the Otoes. An excursion train will be run from this city, under the charge of Mr.

Lindley, who will be on hand to do heavy work behind the Otoe batters. Rev. J. W. Ellis drew a large congre gation at the Presbyterian church Sabbath evening, by the announcement to preach upon the amusements of the day.

His sermon was quite interesting, though rather long, and he took a sensible view of all amusements, not utterly condemning any of them, excepting rize fighting, the fighting of animals, and card playing. Other amusements.among them, base ball, billiards, dancing and the theatre, were often injurious, because of the associations connected with them. We learn that a young lady formerly a waitress on tbe tables at Cannon house, and latterly in the game employment at Tecumseh, has received an offer of marriage from a well to-do merchant in the latter place, the contract to be ratified two. years hence. The young lady will employ the interim in.

attending an eastern school. It Is a case of true love, and as the lady is well connected, and always bore herself correctly here, there are many who will ofler her warm congratulations upon the happiness in store for her. Attorney General Roberts yesterday foreclosed the mortgage of $400, on the First Christian Church of this city, most commonly known as the "Stone Church." This mortgage was given to secure a portion of the School Fund made during Governor Butler's first term. The State of now owns a church, which wa don't believe another State in the Union can boast of. Gen.

Roberts is after all these little irregularities that have not been straightened up, and proposes to maks the heat more The "Stone Church" will be disposed of at public sale before a great while. We mentioned on Sunday that several gentlemen had passed through this city on a special train for Omaha, on business connected with the St. Joe Denver road, in the U. S. Court.

A special session of the circuit court was held, Judge Dundy presiding, and William Barnes appointed temporary receiver. The complainants in the case were the Farmers' Loan Trust and John Baird, the amount claimed under tbe 'mortgage, being $941,242.65 in gold. Hon. B. F.

Stringfellow of Atchi-son was attorney for the complainants and Col. John Doniphan of St Joe for defendants. It took just two hours to transact the the party passed through the city Saturday, on their return. ed in the museum of University. In the last issuo ot his paper, Hungerford ap peals to his readers for Bcalps, offering 25 cents each tor the same.

We value hu man lives higher.up this way, and twenty five cents for a human scalp is truly awtul. The blood-thirsty editor winds np his article by saying scalps he must have for the University museum, and if he can't get them pretty soon, he announces his determination of taking the war path him self and scalping his delinquent subscribers. On Thursday night, July 1st, Moses Stocking and his son William, residing near Wahoo, met with a serious loss Somo vagabond dogs got after their sheep in the corral aad ran thorn into a pen that had been left open at one end. They rushed into this pen climbing upon each other, and piling up five and six deep. Four hundred and eighty-four were found dead and some fifty or less, badly injured, many of whom will die.

This is a heavy loss, and will not fall short of $2,000. We doubt if all the dogs in Nebraska are worth that amount; and it Is true, that none but good-for-nothing curs will attrck sheep. A thoroughbred or full blooded dog, no matter how savage his species, has too much sense to kill sheep. CLast evening, a 19 months old daughter of Mr. N.

Vedder of this city, had narrow escape from a terrible death. The little thing was playing on the sidewalk In front of the house, having a croquet mallet in her hand. A large dog came along, and the little- girl made a motion as if to strike the animal, when it growled and sprang upon her, throwing her down and fairly enclosing her throat in its mouth. A little son of Mr. Vedder, who was playing with the baby, seized the mallet and struck the dog a blow that made him release his hold and run aw vy.

The little girl was not badly hurt, but we shudder to think what the consequnences might have been, had the 'animal closed its jaws. As it was, the. teeth marks can be discovered on the-- child's' neck, but it was not compressed enough to in jure her. i "A lady gardener" writes us from Oak Creek Valley, that raising peanuts in Nej braska is a She planted fifty hills of peanuts about the middle of last April, on las't years breaking, putting one and two in a bho hoed them three times, and they arc now in full blossom. They look exceedingly well, notwith- standing they were near the wheat where grasshoppers were raised in abundance.

The lady says she wouldlike to hear from others through the Journal, and we invite all who have attempted to cultivate the peanut, to Jehd us their experience. She says those planted by her were the small variety. She also 'says, that in a residence in Nebraska of 18 years, uhe never saw a better prospect for crops. She has nearly 100 acres of promising grain, and plenty of new potatoes, beans, peas, green corn and cucumbers, and wonders who there is that will talk about starving in Nebraska the coming season. The State National BaSr.

Mr. Atwood purposes shortly to improve the building which has come into his possession, and to pnt up another building or two in the rear of tho present one and fronting on street Harvest Prospect.

A correspondent from Kearney, under date of July 10th, says in regard to our harvest prospects in his vicinity We are now in the midst ot our barley cutting. We shall havys considerably over halt a crop of this cereal. The late abundant rains have helped it on amazingly. Next weeK tbe reapers will be busy in the wneatanaoat neios. The recent rams have greatly advanced these grains, and a fair crop, averaging over half, considerably, will be gathered of wheat, but not so much of oats.

The 'hoppers lAve not materially injured these crops. One important fact has been learned during the continued dry weather in June of which our farmers will in future upon; and that is that those fields which are sowed with drills, stood the heat better than those sown broad-cast The deeper the drilling the better the crop. JUet our farmers drill tneir wheat, oats, barley and rye in from three to five inches, and (hey can laugh a drouth to scorn. The McCorniiik Harvester Ahead!

Fi.e tal wound, received while endeavoring td avoid recapture. Some of the Nebraska. City people, as shown by the Chronicle, are feeling bad over the change of plans for our govern ment poet office, which they say will re semble an old fashioned Pennsylvania barn. There was once a fox, so the fable goes that was troubled in the same man ner about some grapes.

When he found he couldn't get the said grapes, however, he didn't want them, and rowed that they resembled an old fashioned Pennsylvania bam. Thus history ever repeats itself. iLewis W. Cofby, of Beatrice, has been in the city for three days, for the purpose off organizing a State Militia with headquarters at Beatrice. Governor Gar-ber has been called tapon for arms.

The State not havinir sufficient, Senator Pad dock is to apply to the government for a supply. Ur m- MarsfLl Williams, of Crete, informs us that the Blue river at that point is higher thkn ever known before. The water cov ers all the bottom land west of the city, making the river over 200 yards wide, and fully four feet in depth. The wagon bridge is covered, and it is feared may be washed away. The dam, belonging to the flouring mill of Bridget Broewell, cannot be seen, and it is feared it has been washed away, or will be before the water subsides.

'The dam ot Burt well's mill, seven miles above the city, is also in dan- eeim 1 1 1- Haye any of our readers, who have-noticed the shooting of the American team in Ireland, attempted to realize -the immense distances the targets were placed from the shooter The teams shot at the distance of 800, 900nd 1,000 hitting the target every time but once at the latter distance. The target is about 3 inches square, and the distance shot is over half a mile. Suppose the shooters were to stand at tile Commercial; block i corner, and the target was placed; at the corner of Hon. W. F.

Chapln's house, and some idea can bo formed of the immense The Rape-Incest cose against William Shoemaker was concluded yesterday afternoon, and Judge McLean held the prisoner to bail in the sum of $750. Not being able to furnish the bail, he was committed to jail, to await the Novembet tern of court. Ha attempted to persuade his brother-in-law C. J.McFarland, to become his surety, but that gentleman says he wouldn't risk a dollar oa him. Shoemaker's wife is about to be confined, and it is rumored that ahe believes Shoemaker to have made improper" advances towards a third daughter, now twelve years of age.

We hope the' poor wretch may be able to prove his innocence in the Distrct Court, buyioubtit. I The United States Express Co. commenced business last Saturday, in the little building just south of Commercial Block. Mr. Edwin DeKay, the agent, is a gentleman well qualified for the position, and the interests of our citizens will be well-attended to, under his management Our citizens will also be 'pleased to learn that he has secured the services ot Charlie M.

Lowry, for a long time connected with the B. M. Land Office. Charlie is a popular young manj and better selection for a clerk, could not have been made. As soon as it can be got in order, the office of the Company will be removed to the building formerly occupied by Mr.

Sewell, which stands on 10th street, a much better location than the temporary one. I It was expected to have some good horse-racing at the Fair Grounds last Saturday, but the young deluge of the night before, put the track in such bad order, that they had to be deferred, i As soon as our spring rains are safely over, Douglass and Mr. Stout intend getting some races, and offering purses large enough to secure the attention and interest of the horse fanciers in this section' of the country. IJad the track been in suitable condition, the race last Saturday 'might have been made very interest ing, as horses were here from Crete and from Palmyra, and several that happened to be passing through the city, stopped for the purpose of engaging in the sport It now seems that the forger, OUiver or escaped the clutches of the law, discouraging as the fact may be to the lovers of justice. It Is also believed that this wily rogue is an own brother of Fatty Smith, who went to Mexico some time since to seek an asylum, on account of his numerous crimes.

Smith-OUiver owns a fine farm just over the Kansas line, in the Republican Valley, where he might be captured, if proper exertion was made. Smith's wife and attorney arrived in this city on Saturday last, in response to a letter senUhem from here by Smith but which was delayed tn transit. As soon as they received it they came by buggy across the country from Republican City, but found their friend all right and safe out of the country; so they had nothing to do. in his It is to be hoped that there will be goodly attendance at the match game between the Otoes and Mutuals oa next Tuesday. A special train will run to the point selected, and as the friends of the Otoes will be out in large numbers to wit-bess the game, the friends ot the Mutuals should also turn out- in large numbers.

From what we can learn, there is very little bitterness between the twa nines that wifl" participate in the game, the ill feeling being confined to outside parties, and therefore of no consequence. We hope and expect to see a friendly game, played with all the skill either nine can command, and trust the winning club will bear ts honors meekly and the losing club show a generous spirit in accepting defeat. The place where the game will be held has not fully been decided, but it will be either Syracuse or Palmyra, as wo are informed.
