Y., May b5.—8ocial circles arv greatly sgitated over the unexpec'ed termination of the prepa- rations for the marriage of W, l;! Wiley to Fiorilla Ballard, daughter of the superintendent of the Ogden mills. The trosseau was purchased and everything went smoothly until the knot was to be tied on the evening of the 3d inst. The bride was ready and a large number of invited guests had arrived, when the young lady's father received a telegram informing him that Wiley was a married man and that he left this afternoon fcr parts unknown, The grief of the in- tended bride can be better imagined than described. It is now learned that Wiley’s real name is Lucia and he came from Vermont to Cohoes some months ago. He represented himself as being from Kentucky. Business Failures.

Oscrora, Neb., May 6.—At thoan- nual school election the old plan of | three directors was abolished and six trustees elected. The salaries for| teachers was fixed at 865 por month tor principal, 850 for intermediate and 40 for primary. This we do not consider enough, and we cannot hope to retain good teachers at those wages, And why the teacher of the jrimary department should work for the least pay, while it is decidedly the most di ticult department to teach, I am not | able to understand. A recent visit to the various dephrtments convinced me that our teachers are fully up with the times in educational work, The rooms are beautifully decorated with pictures and mottoes, and each win- dow is ornamented with plants, which the scholars are expected to care for aud study, all of which helps to make our achool a home with its family cir- cle. Rev. L. P. Norcross, for three yeara pastor of the Congregational church, preached his farewell sermon in the M. E. church last sabbath eve- ning to a large audience. On Mon- day evening his church gave a fare- well sociable, which, but for the re- grets at his departure, was u very | pleasant affair. Our new court house, wlhich, ac- cording to contract, should have been completed last December is still un- finished, although the work is being rapidly pushed. The ofices of the court house have been comploted for some months, and a strong effort was made by the county officers to have the county commissioners got posses- sion and allow the officera to move in, but after a two days and one night sossion, at which the contractor offer- ed to rent to the county the com- pleted offices at ten cents a month or free if they choose to accept it, with- out prejudice to future settlement, the commissioners demanded that the contractor pay the expenses of night watch and oftice rent since Decomber 1at, which the contractor refused to do. In the meantime the expenses at the rate of $100 per month continues. The ofticers are crowded into dark, dingy rooms, the public rccords are exposed, and a good prospect for the | W8 in our county. county to become involyed in_an ex- pensive law suit.

Cotrespondence of The Tee, Matk, Nob., May 4.—The many trees along the streots of Blair are now fully leafed out in their now n folinge, and the neat and tasty rds and residences prosents to the oye a lovely scene. Nowhere in the state is there a city whoro 8o much pains is taken with thoe streets and sidewalks as in Blair, The residents on Colfax street have just completed the planting of a row of fine treos through the center of the street from end to end, nearly a mile long. The streeta in the busimess part of town are at present full of moving build- ings to make room for fine brick blocks that are now in process of erection. Stone from the quarry in the southern part of the state is being used for foundations in these build- ings. Tho activity of Blair is strong and ateady. Political, social and church scanduls or sensations are unknown here. Politicians of the high order (such as senatorial or gubernatorial candidates) and pulpit shows avoid this placo as they would a calaboose — in fact that is about where they land when they stop over night, or at least that has been the fate of the pulpit shows. While Lincoln, Omaha and other places are agitated over these things we are unmolested. At present some commotion is being stirred up over the publication of no- tices for druggists’ permits. The druggists published in tho Republican and at a meeting of the city council to grant permits, Mr. Hilton, of the Pilot, filed an aflidavit that his newspaper had the largest circulation in the county. This had they would have to publish again, but when before the council he was as honest and square as ever lived; if there is an imposiiton in this business, he 18 the man that is im- posed on, and I am the man who im- posod on him.” Brockman stated he delivered the bonds to Doyle in his Brockman's) room in Brooklyn, COLORED ROOTES CONVICTED, Jas.

Special Corraspondence of Tire bRt LixcouN, May 5. —There is a little more life apparent about Lincoln now as the date for the. meeting of the legislature draws near. Members and candidates make frequent pilgrimages hither, as if endeavoring to forecast the courso of events, A large num- ber of changes have taken place in the legislature mince the last meeting, no fewer than eloeven names having been changed. In the senate there are three new members, Mr. R. B. Harrington, of Beatrice, who RESIGNED HIS POSITION as receiver of the land office to take a. place in the state senate; resigned hia seat in the senate after the session to take his land office again, but in some way failed to connect. He is suc- coeded by Mr, George H. Castle, of Blue Springs, Gage county. Senator C. W. Pierce, of Lancaster county, resigned to take the receivership of the Lincoln land oftice, and Mr. P. H. Walker, of Waverly, will occupy his place at the extrh session. U. S, Senator Chas. H. Van Wyck, of Otoe, is succeeded by William Camp- bell, of Nebraska City. In the house the changes are more numerous, Mr. Robert B. Graham, of Waverly, Lan< caster county, is now county treas- urer, and his place is taken by My, M. H Wescott, of Malcolm. Kepresen- tative W, B. Gray, of Carleton, Fill- more county, is NO LONGER A MEMBER, and Mr. Nelson Anderson of Gieneva will take his seat, Mr. H. C.

Supposing a bad boy walks up and throws a stono thmugx your bay win- dow that shatters a fine calla and busts the statue of the sweet singer of Michigan, you do not go outand chase him four blocks with an iron rake and club him till he gets out of reach, but you just getan old hoe handle that swings easy, and you search out the boy’s parents and wear them out with that hoo handle and mix;them up with the sand. Then if the boy don’t hehave himself you can go to other relatives of his, and grad- ually enlarge the circle of your ac- quaintance, until you have mauled the entire relationship, even includ- ing the old grand-parents of the boy, and if any of these people resist they are subject to imprisonment, This law, although apparently stringent, is a good one. L makes parents take more interest in their children and look out for them more accurately. It encourages parents to know where their boys are, and to keep their oyes on them more than they do here in Laramie. Why, if that law was to go into force here, some men we know would have to take an arnica bath twice a day and they wouldn’t have a whole bone in their body. We like to see a bright, active boy with good health and sound lungs, but the thriving blossom that that will develop into a Jesse James, we have no use for, If the Chinese law could be enforced here against those parents who are breeding up a equad of hoodlums we would not weep., It would be pretty active work for the avenger and his hoe handle, but it would institute a reform at seast.
