What a Former Resident of Marshall County Thinks or Nebraska. Madison. Neb., Dec. 23d, 1878. Editor Republican : Being the only subscriber of your paper in this part of Nebraska, and having been a resident of Marsha I and Stark counties for ten years prior to coming to Nebraska, an i now that immigration is being turned towards this State from Indiana, a well as from other eastern States, it may not be uninteresting to those of your readers who contemplate coming to Nebraska to have the fact as Mi.-y are in this (Madison) county and Northern Nsbraaka before they start. Next March I will have been here eight years. At that time Madison county bad been organized but two years, and possessed about seven hundred inhabitants, but now she can boast of a fractiou less than five thou sand. The B. Sc M. R. It. has a large
r amount of the very best lands in the
county, and are preparing to locate not leas than two hundred families on the shine the coming summer. Many parties from Elgin, Iii., have been here and made their selections. Government land, subject to homeeteadio?, &c, Is about all taken, yet very many claima can be bought at low figures, ai there are always some migratory persons who are constantly on wheels, bound to go farther west as long as there Is land to travel on. Madison county is located adjoining Platte county on the north, while Madison, the counfy-seat of Madison county is thirty five miles north of Columbus, the county-scat of Platte county, whieh is located on the Union Pacific railroad, and con tains perhaps 3,000 inhabitants. The town of Madison is situated io Union Creek valley and Immediately at the confluence of Union and Taylor creeks, both streams affording good water power which is still waiting to be utilized. Madison has one flouring mill as
good as your Plymouth water mill, one weekly paper, one bank, two good
hotels, three churches. all flne atruutures, representing the Methodists, Presbyterians and Catholics. Business of all kinds is well represented; three blacksmiths, one wagon shop, one butcher, one harness-maker, three general stores, one drug store, and a aohool edifice that will compare favorably with some in the East, costing fifteen hundred dollars; lumber yard, boot and shoe ahop, Sec. Tbe town consists of about three hundred aouia. When I aottled here, seven years ago, one small structure, sixteen by twenty, uaed as a district school bouse, was all there was of
what is now known as the town of Madison. Norfolk and Battle Creek are both growing towaa iu the north and ncrth-west part of the county. The soil I think is as good as there is iu the State: a black, i ich, porud soil.
of a depth of from four to six feet, which produces iu abundance every thing that Indiana dÜBS; wheat (mostly spring wheat), coin, rye, barley, oata, potatoes, aud in fact any aud all kinds of vegetables are produced readily. For atock raisiug, I think this country canuot bu surpassed. The general health does, aud always will, excel that of Iudiuna, or almost any locality east of the Missouri river. The altitude of this county is at least fifteen bundled feet above Marshall county, Ind., hence the pure air of which we boast so much. This entire county is the best under-drained of any couuty I have ever seen; no wet, boggy marsh lands to create ague. We have to go very deep for water, but it is good when we get it. My well is seventyeight feet deep, and I knew of some on the table lands that are 130 f-ct deep, and on down to thirty five feet. Well, I think I oan hear some of the good people of ofareball aud Htaik utilities say, to use ;; (ndian term, "heap deep"; but I thjuk deep welltt, with good, pure water, far preferable 10 shallow wells, as some pf them ate in Indiana, where you pump up ague by the bucketfuls. We only consider it good exercise here to draw the wa ter trom our wells. Qrasshuppeis have been a great drawback to No
thing in regard to our railroads, &c. Verj respectfully yours, Warrs-m H Harkis.
Sigas ortbe Times. There has.been no time during tbe prest nt generation, perhaps no time
taken in, and tbe man left. The sick woman partook of some refreshments, and the mother and daughter went on with their work. Very soon Caramita discovered that their guest had on a pair of pantaloons under the gown. She communicated the fact to her mother, unobserved 6y the

Influence of the Moon on Crepe. A correspondent of a New York paper was planting potatoes ia tbe light of the moon, or in tbe increase of the moon; several of his neighbors were present and a discussion arose as to the effect the moon had on the different crops. Answering ita correspondent's Inquiry, the paper said: "There has been always a powerful superstition that tbe moon exerted a great influence upon the affairs ot mankind, but this idea has prevailed chiefly among those who did not understand the utter impossibility that
J the moon cold exett any such Influ
ences. Formerly the.stars were supposed to assist tbe moon in these in terferences with mankind and their labors, and to be able to ' read the stars' was equivalent to tbe possession of prophetic powers. Now the ütars have los, their reputation, and the moon is in a fair way to lose what little is left of It. Formerly otaxv people were 'moonstruck,' but now wlifii we see a lunatic (derived from I una, the moon, and really meaning moonstruck,) we do Bot blame the moon for it. The moon has now fallen so low as to be sup
