The drawing of the Leavenworth lot
ery, in which afi'air quite a number of our
citizens were more or less interested in a fi
nancial point -of view, came off a few days
ago. The list of prizes reached here on
Wednesday, and a laborious search has re
veal'.! the fact that neither the SlOO.fMM)
priite nor any of the other grand prize has
travelled in this direction, while only one
among thu investors claims that he got his
money back, $2,50. Asseverations are as
plenty as blacklierries, however, that the
whole thing is an infernal swindle.
There was a lively time at the Erie races
last week, and two gents from this place
who went there to see the Rightsare said to
have enjoyed the affair hugely. The one
who bestrode the "jasack" for want of some
thing better to bestride was particularly
pleased with himself and his llosinante, es
pecially when Mr. Jack gave veut, as he did
profusely, to that peculiar melody for which
his species is proverbial. Sam says he woul.l
rather ride into the legislature leu times
over on tho backs of braying asses political
than bestrid-: one more brayiug ass natural.
On Wednesday night at 12 o'clock tho
burning of the first kiln of brick was com
pleted at Mr. John Wherley's brickyard,
one-liaif lniie west of town, and men oom
petejit to judge in such matters declare that
they are the lest brick that have ever been
manufactured in this vicinity. Ueing hand
made, and that too by a brick maker who
lias mi superior, Sir. John'Ade.lsberger, they
cannot fail to give entire satisfaction to all
who may use them. On and after Monday
next these brick will be for sale on the most
reasonable terms, either at the kiln or de
livered at the station or in any part of town.
An old lady who died a few days ago in
the north-eastern part of this county, demand
ed while on her death-bed that two of her
sons, who owed her a certain sum of mouey
each, should pay their indebtedness, inas
much as sho exported to die and wished to
apply the money to liquidate her funeral ex
pii.sis. With this request ono of the eons,
it is Raid, not only declined to comply, but
when his brother was in the act of handing
over the amount duo from him, he grasped
the money and positively refused to return
it. Subsequently at the funeral, as if lo add
insult to injury, the grasping son bellied to
till up his mother's grave in the church
yard a proceeding never before dreamed of
in our philosophy.
, The littensburg SilverCornet Hand paid

-One day last week a unique two-wheeled
vehicle drawn by two men and dog,
and followed by some half dozen w omen
and children, passed through town westward-bound.
In resjKjiiso to inquiries, they
represented that they were rn route for Kan
sas, which State they expected to reach,
traveling as they were then traveling, in
about a year and a day and a half from
.late. Thev must have changed their minds
Ixjfore they had achieved much of the trip,
for thev uitvdo their appearance here aga-in
on Wednesday, this time going iu the di
rection of lieu Hutle-r's. birth-place,, wtu
wagon, dog, aud the rust of thetn iu good
condition. The theory advanced that thy
constitute the advance-guard of a party of
carpet-baggers to bo brought here to vote
the Republican ticket nest fall is, we are as
sured, not well grounded.

I)E Mi Frclm AN With your permission I de
sire to present to the attention of your readers
a few file's Concei ninir ill" young and thriving
State of Nebraska, hoping it may interest mv
Cambria county friends, and, as tiie Pawnee
Indians say, do a heap of good. ; by inducing peo
ple to come out here and set tie on the rich lands
so abundant in this State, where thev can live
easy mid die happy. " j
A very common opinion ainonu- pcop'e Iu the ,
East is that Nebraska Is a poor, good-for-tmt h-
big State, where a man cannot raise en jugti on
o.ie bundl ed ucres to kettp lion from starving, i
At least 1 have henr.l such an opinion express- i
j ed on several occasions before coming West.
anil I wish now to say Hint there i net a word
: of truth in such reports. 1 know to a i t, i:iinty
inn i in. ii o iicii i .i,iu e". .i .i ii ne i ai-ci nt ri on
a sinrli' acre t hail can be produced in A Hcbc
n y or Washington counties, in your State, and
they are consiocie-i .''.tnotig the most prolific of
which you can boast, on double the area. The
crops this season m: really splendi 1. N'eai ly
nil the wheat has been harvested, an 1 the corn
for the must part is in tassel and promises an
abundant jieM. '1 ii pri-p"ois lor potatoes
and other products ale c.piallv eneou raying,
wo had Karly Itose potatoes, itf w pt-as. LeaiM,
etc.. on our ttiblrs here a I. on t I lie f. i st ?,f .1 u no.
A not her gi eat ilelurion pre a lent in t he ea-t
is that it ilon't rain any in I his country wort h :
talk in ir alio tir, and still a not In i is that t "he grain
we raise does not command price eiioiigii to j
pnv tor wtiut tne farmer has to in v. in nei
ther case are t he act unl facts half as bad as peo
pie imagine them to ho. 1 here has been
ty of rain to grow good crops since 1 came out
here on the 1st of May . and as regards tlie mur- i
ket It is as good as could ho expected, t.'orn is '
Selling in Urund Island at 7" cents per bushel .
and new potatoes command from 75 cents to 1 j
per bilHcl. ither produce brings proportion
ate prices. Wheat has not yet attained a fixed j
price, but it is believed that it will bring ! per .
b'jlicl this Kali, which is better than H.50 or ;
1.7"i in Pennsylvania as the land i; cneapor to
begin with, and being free from stones and
stumps, and also very level, it is much easier :
to work ; besides that.'.you can raise double or 1
nearly doub'o the amount on an equal number j
of acres. As to the prices charged for groCer- :
ies, dry goods, hardware, etc , out here, I must
say that they are very littlo in advance of those i
prevailing in the east, and I doubt if they arc
as steep as in Kbensburg or Carrol Itown. You
can buy a good Milburu wagon, 3' iach f-pin- :
die, with spring scat, for t '.". lly this you can
ste about the way things look out here, but I j
will endeavor to throw more light on the sub- .
ject In my next, this letter being I fear already '
too long ilraw'n out to suit you. Permit me t
say. however, in conclusion, that if any of your :
read vis wish to come west and buy laud or take i
up homesteads or timber claims, Nebraska is !
the place where they can get satisfaction. They '
must come soon, however, as choice lands are i
being taken up Very rapidly. I

EnEssBrRO, July 29, 1ST.
To the Editor of the Fret man:
IEA(i Sir Having enjoyed with
you the pleasures and borne with you the heat
of the late hurried trip to' Omaha. I cheerfully
comply with your request to add a chapter to
what you have all eady published on that sub
ject ; and I ilo this the more willingly because
I know that your other duties are cf so prrxi
ing a nature that it was or is scarcely possible
for you to spare the time requisite to give a
more minute account of the trip than you have
already published.
With this by way of introduction, permit ice
ro venture upon a hasty though 1 hope not al
together tin. nterestmg description of some of
tne scenes and incidents p
jaunt in the mightv West
i As has been already intimated by my kind
friend, yourself Individually, tho extremely
hot weather which prevailed during our trip
tended to diminish in a great degree the plea
sure which would hare mended it had the tem
perature been more akm to that which we on
the mountain geuerally experience at this sea
son of the yt-ar. As it was. the heat was sim
ply excruciating. Those inexperienced iu rail
road travel iu the west can scarcely imagine
how it feels to be pent up iu a railroad car wh le
the mercury indicates a hundred degrees in the
shade and almost impenetrable clouds of dust
are lilting mouth, nose, eyes and ears, and cove-ring
your entire person, to the depth of an
inch or two, more or less; for be it known tluit
tKc railroads in the west are not like ours, in
asmuch as they have no clean stone ballast be
tween the tics, but are laid on tics embedded
in line sano. wPiuh the wind produced by the
ntpid motion of the rar hurls up iu such dense
Volumes that the tir.Tcier is not only prevent
ed from seeing much' Of the country he is pas
ing through, but if the tritldows are open his
chances for being buried alive are exceedingly
good. Such, at least, was our experience, tho'
t'therwise there was nothing to ctiuiplain of, hs
the curs are very comfortable, the seats ind
spaces between of more than usual width, the
movement rapid and free from jar, and the con
ductors courteous and obliging.
OT THK ClIL'M'hr
we passed through between Pittb'.fi-g ajidCrM
cmito. taking in the Slates of Ohio and lmhana
nil I a portion of Illinois, in all a distance of 483
miles, but little could be observed by us. as we
did not stop between the two points name 1, ex
cept while faking meals at Alliance and Crest
line while westward bound, and nt restliuo
and Kt. Wayne on our return trip. The coun
try, h -we ver. seemed for the most part to bo
very fertile, immense fields of wheat and corn
meeting tlie eye on every side. Farmers were
busy cutting the former, and much of it was
already iu shock. This too on tne 5th day of
July, which is considerably earlier than such
work is done on the mountain. Thi wheat
crop, although not regarded us up to the aver
age there, would be considered ex t raordi miry
here. The corn tho principal cereal raised
ranged from one to six feet in height and look- I
ed very promising. Just here it might be well j
to explain, lest the writer's veracity might In j
doubted, as it will be observed that I havesiiiii
that farmers were liau cuttina u twat urt the 5(i
ilaynf Jtilii, which, as you are aware, fell on
.Viiitiidy. To the mountaineer who strictly ob
serves the fubbath day, even thoughihis crops
should sutler, this may seem like "drawing the
longbow," but 'truth is st ranger than net ion."
and it it a fact that in several instances we saw
farmers at work in their grain fields on the
Sabbath day 'and that too while the weather
was as dry as punk und there was not a single
indication of approaching rain. And all this
time cr did notions- but rido in the train oil the
Subbuth day 1
rnroino.
which wc reached at 8 o'clock Sdrtt!av evening,
tired, weary and completely covered with dust,
it one of the finest eit ies. if not fi finest. In the
Cniled States. We spent nearly three days
here, during which time we visited s many
places of interest as possible, most of which
have already been alluded lo by you. Heliev
ing. however, that a more detailed description
of some of these places may not be without in
terest to your readers, I will endeavor to de
scribe them as briefly ns pos-ible.
TUB WATKlt WORS.S
are located !n tho upper or northern part of
the city, and are the grandest of the kind in the
world. To giveiinytuing likea full description
of this immense piece ot mechanism would re
quire too much space; so I will have to confine
myself within a narrower scope. The city of
Chicago, it is proper to say, is built on a prai
rie which is almost perfectly level, except that
it slopes gently from tbe lake shore, and beforo
these works were built the only water they had
forordinary purposes was obtained from wells.
This method was of course soon found inade
quate to tiie wants of a great and growing city,
and as a consequence the present means for ob
taining plenty of go.xl water was ere long con
ceived, and finally, after considerable opposi
tion, was adopted. On the lake shore a shaft
was sunk to a greater depth than the bottom
of the lake, and from this shaft a tunnel was
excavated to a distance of more than two miles
under tip lake, w hore the water was tapped.
Through this tunnel, by means of largo pipe s,
the water is conveyed to the cistern or shaft,
where six large steam engines are constantly at
work forcing Iho water into an upritibt tank
enclosed in a magnificent stone tower If) feet
high and about one hundred feet from the wat
er works proper. From this tower pipes are
laidHthrougl.out the city, tho volume of water
in the tank bcingsuch as by its weight alone to
force the aqueous fluid al! over the city. The
outlook from the top of Ibis tower well repays
the almost exhausting effort necessary to at
tain the giddy height.
In Chicago, for t:io first time in our lives, we
visled a
MAYOR'S COURT,
and for the information of those who havo
never seen one and w ho are but little acquaint
ed with the wickedness common in large cities,
I will note eome'of tho pmeecdlngs which came
under our observation. These courts are con
ducted in a manner entirely different from the
slow, careful and cautious method which pre
vails in our county courts, as was made appa
rent in the trial of two well dressed and genteel
looking men who had be?n arrested the night
previous for indulging, or being suspected of
indulging, in "tricks that are vain and ways
that are dark," otherwise known at tho confi
dence game. When their case was reached the
witnesses for tho o .mnnin wealth, all of whom
were members of the police force, as well a
those for the 'lefeuse, wero ordered to hold up
their righr hands, after which the usual oath
was administered to nil of them nt once. This
is an economical way of swearing witnesses pe
culiar to these courts. Heing thus sworn, they
couimenoed testifying sometimes one at a
time, but more frequently two or three at the
same lime and tho evidence was beard almost
as hastily as the witnesses had been sworn, und
in loss than no tim the cause was decide!. It
is painful to see tin class of peiqde giuhered
together at ono of these courts men, women
and children of nearly all ages and apparently
of nil conditions in life, brought here lo answer
f r crime of i: renter or.loss degree.
tor the edification of those who have never
visited a fashionable beer garden a few words
about
TIVOtf GARDEN
may not bp out of place. This resort Is located
on "one principal streets in tho wealthiest
part of the city, is the grandest thing of the
kind in Chicago, if not in the United States.
The room is perhaps 150 feet iong and fully 50
feet wide. It is extravagantly furnished with
handsome tables and luxurious chairs and
lounges, while the walls ure decorated with
beautiful oil paintings, and theentire "garden"
is brilliantly Illuminated with a profusion of
splendid gas'-burners almost bedazzling. Three
large fountains with their spurting jets add to
the beauty and novelty of the scene, while in
the large circular basins beneath the fountains
are hundreds of goldfish sporting festively in
the clear water, amid specimens of the mineral
and vegetable order of rare beauty. Here tho
elite of thecity. of both sexes, in immense num
bers, conio to while aWay an hour pleasantly
an 1 sociably, indulging in the meantime in a
cold lunch and a cup or hot coffee, r a gla.su
of wine or mug of beer. Tbe best of order Is
preserved and all Is in accordance with tho
btrictest etiquette. ...... . I
A delightful boat ndoon Lake Michigan and J
a visit to Lincoln Park, now embraclng.iiB area ,
of 95 acres but soon to be enlarged to 400 acres,
also added to the pleasure of our stay in Chi
cago, but these and other scenes of interest I
have not time to dwell upon. We left Chicago
westward bound at 10 o'clonk Monday night
(most of the time s-pent there being on the re
turn tripand did not halt again until wo had
accomplished At; mi Ies more, which lauded us in
BCHrtSGTOX, IOWA.
at T o'clock Tuesday mornihg. This city is sit
uated on the right bank of the .Mississippi river
and claims a population of about 20.000. It is
an industrious, thriving town, aud is the chief
shipping point for all places west of it on tha
line of the C, It. & Q. K. K. It contains many
nuc buildings, but not so many as it did two
3-enrs sgo, a destructive fire having about that
timccoiisumed the Court House and other mas- j
give structures of great value and beauty,
which are, however, being rapidly replaced by ;
buildings equally imposing. Here we spent a .
day very pleasantly in sight-seeing, and at 7.20
V. ii. of the same day we once more resumed ,
onr journey,
Heing desirous of taking things easy ana ob
taining as much rest as possible, wo engaged a
berth and ensconced ourselves in a sleeping ear,
where we soon became cognizant of tho fact
that there were
PEvrtRAi. wr.nDrvo parties
on board and I might add lodging), tho male
members whereof had evidently been east and
secured each for himself a comforter, ete.. and
n-UU the iriza in their arm were returning to
their western homes. I never before thou-.n
that tne placing of so many "honeymoonera'
in the same car would create so much rivalry
as wa9 manifested on this occasion ; and it fll
mot made tho bachelor heart of your corres
pondent throb with envy to see young husbands
vicing with each other in demonstrations of
marital affection. But this torture was soon
over for ere long the bunks were arranged,
the ourtains dropped, and we retired O our
virtuous couch, which, save and except In one
notable InstAnce, was tbe finest opening for a
young man that we saw during our absence.
