Spoery gives us as an item of news that school district No. 21 Platte ooanty is paying for all her orders. The soliciting committee at Cleve- land, state that the- - encouragement given them is very general and highly flattering for the cause of the Nebraska suffering. We are informed that William Bur- gess, Indian agent of the Pawnees, has been appointed by the department of the Interior, a special agent to proceed to the Indian Territory and locate the new agency for the Pawnees. 8o soon as the Pawnees arrive at their new home asub-ageac- y will be established.

It is described as a very heavy bird, one person saying its legs wire as large as those of a child six years old. Several farmers in the nothern part of the county have expressed a willingness .to exchange their cattle for sheep at the first favorable opportunity. We have no doubt on the question of sheep rais- ing in Nebraska property. We are informed that a great deal of timber has been stolen from timber land on Taylor Creek, this county, and that the school land on that creek has been eotirdy stripped of timber. Those who have timber there, had better look after it a little. For a few days past we have noticed on the street a few Indians, not Paw- nees, but Omahas. We learn that they are going west on a hunt.

Mr. Lawson had been in town and was on his wsy home with a load of shingles when death overtook him and it is the opinion of the psysieiaas that he was deed before he fell from his wagon and that death was, caused bom either heart failare or the banting of a blood vessel in his brain. The deceased was an old, highly respected and prosperous rem-den- t of this section aad leaves a widow children to mown his sud- - en death.

While the Loup river does not cut away the land along its banks as bad as the old Missouri, still there are places in Platte county where nearly whole farms have been swallowed up.

Here the river has been gradually cut- ting until within the last fifteen years it has moved the channel from a quarter to a half mile north. Where it is cut- ting now there is a small ravine, and should it reach that something will have to be done to check it.

We are informed that a great deal oftimber has been stolen from timberland on Taylor Creek, this county, andthat the school land on that creek hasbeen eotirdy stripped of timber. Thosewho have timber there, had better lookafter it a little.

For a few days past we have noticedon the street a few Indians, not Paw-nees, but Omahas. We learn that theyare going west on a hunt.
