The Republican valley has been wonderfully misrepreeented by this of men, and this section has been greatly injured by them. Men will compel their families to live in dug-outs or sod houses year after year; everything owned by them Is at the lowest ebb of vitality, and they are continually corsing the conntry. Too indolent to breath without help, utterly unrelistle, too lazy to be honest, and thus year by year thelr #families live in the greatest discomfort and the lowest poverty, when through the winter months and throagh the days of the summer and fall, hey smight dic oct, from those vaat .guarries of magnesia lime rock, ma- terial for comfortable homes and barms.

The necessity for additlonal facilities for the transhipment of the great orops of the west to the aeaboard is pressing itself upon eastern capital- ists. The frlends of the enterprise have no doubt now of its ultimate success. It is exgected that the con- tracts for conatruction will be closed during the month of January, and that work will be bagun early in Feb- ruary. The road will be 571 miles in lengih. The Ohio river is crossed \ 2bove Ironton, in the southwestern part of the state of Ohio, and makes a direct line to Portsmouth, on the Ohio river, and from Portamouth it is expected to abeorb, with some change of grade, to a narrow guage railroad already built from that city to Cinciunati. The new road will touch no less thaa 208 towns between Baltimore and Cincinnati, of which only twenty so far haye a railroad connection.

He would mot only advise the develop ment of foreign trade and show how it could best be accomplished, but, Eaving devised a plan, he rould labor unceesingly until 1t wasadopted by congrees.

The latter sont for Sheriff Guy, and having carrled him out of the cell a physician was gent’ for, who trled with- out success to administer an sntidote for the poiscn, which it was evident the prisoner had taken. After remalning unconscious uatil about 5 o'clock, the unfortunate man expired. A couple of letters, written in pencil, one to Sheriff Guy and the other to Hon. Geo. W. Doane, his counsel, showed that the suicide waas a deliberate one. The former was as follows: Mr. George Gyt Deak Ste—Excnse me for the rash act. Pleaso have my corpge laid in aniron casket.

The remains were taken to Coroner Jacobs' aad telegrams sent to the frienda of the deceased in Milwaukee notifying them of the sad occurrence and asking for orders as co the dis, sition of the remains. A coroners quest was deemed unnecessary. It said that he sttempted suicide once before, after the arrest on the charge for which he was Incarcerated, THE BOWERS INQUEST. The inquest in the case of Germanie Bowers, who cled on Thursday aftor- noon last from the effect of injuries received at the hands of Lorenzo Pickard, took place on Saturday at the residence of H. H. Kirby, in Millard precinct. Coroner Jacobs was aitended to the Inquest by Deputy Sheriff Grebe, and Messrs. Redick and Smytae, (ho latter representing the ctate fn ine prosecuiion and the former couasel for young Pickard, A jury was chosen, consisting of Cyras Morlon, foreman, David Reed, James O'Brien, H. H. Kirby, Wm. Neligh and A. W. Decker, and careful post mortem made by Drs. Coffman, Conkling, Gressman and Lanyon. The post mortem revealed the fact that the skall had been trac- tured in threo places, just above the Toft eye. M. E. Woeley, C. J. Pickard, Ben Michael and Semuel Bower wero ex- amined ss witnesses, and the fzcts de- aue wers rep ated a few additions. sousin, Burns, who noti- fied him when Bower leit for home, and who, ywith adrawn revolver, af- ter the blow had been struck demand ed falr pisy, and chased Bowers' into the houve, is likely tobs held as an eccessory to the murder, acd the ufficers were looking for bim on Sat- urday. Tt did vot appear what the instru- ment which was hfirled at Bower with such deadly effect was, It was dark, and Pickard was seen to stoop to the gronnd and pick something up which he threw at Bowers, felling him to tie ground. The testimong was agsinst the prisoner, although it is not of course to be presumed that the young man bad any intention of com- mitting a murder. He was, from the evideace, intoxicated during the ovening and probably inthe same condition when the fatal blow was struck. he jury found the following ver- s ct: “That tho sald Germany Bower came to his death on December 23, 1880, by injuries to his head, received on the morning of December 15th, 1880, Said injaries were caused by some bluat ins rament in the hands of or theown by Lorenzo Pickard, on the morning of December 15, 1880, near the house of H. H. Kirby, in Douglss county, state of Nebraska.” The remains were yester lay at 10 &. m. buried in Pickard’s cemetery.

This circumstance accounts for the hurried dlspatch to that Is- laod of so many thousand picked troops, including a large por- tion of the houeehold brigades, and five batterles of royal artillery. There is now in Ireland an army of over 30,000 regular soldiers, the flower of the British army® so that any successful insurrection would be im- possble. Nevertheless it is still fear- ed that disturbances will occur there.

A St. Potersburg correspondent say In spite of ali that has been dome during the past eighteen months to improve the condition of the univer- sities and to conciliate the better class of students, ungleasant symptoms are again showing themsclves in the col- lego at Kszan. The students nave been hoidiag illegal meetings aud drawing up petitions, proceedings which are contrary to the statutes of the university. The authority of the professors has been openly resisted, and disturbances appear probabl The condition of numerous individuals flaced under police supervision and banished to remote parts of the em- pire for politic:l offenses has been greatly ameliorated by the care of Gen, Melicoff.
