Levi Hens el waa taking ''observations" along the Central Branch a few days ago. The Herald office, at Netawaka, ia in the second story of the school house. Harry Corbin was temporary master on the Central Branch the first of this week. Muscotah is rapidly improving, and some of the finest buildings on the road are going up there. The peanut boy sella "three ap ples for a dime," or "two for five cents a piece." CoL Ahl, of the Central Branch, has been to Cincinnati, rnd H.

M. Cummingshas running his train. The biggest on the Cen tral Branch ia the run for McCubbin's eating bouse at Centralia. The prospects for the fall wheat ia Jackson and other counties on tbe line of the railroad are encouraging. The wood station at No.

43 has been unanimously voted a nuisance by the "peanut boy." One of tbe boys on tbe express train swears he will marry the first girl he sees with a "diamond ring" on her left fore finger. A heavy Gale passed up and down the road a few days ago, though we hear of no damage being done. We notice a new portable steam saw mill at Blue Rapids station recently shipped there by Dr. R. S.

Craft. Corn and potatoes each sell for thirty cents per bushel at Barrett's. Eggs have no market, and butter brings twenty cents. Conductor Velsey lost his cap a few days ago on the prairie, and haa been compelled to wear his eld hat again. Immigrants sre pouring into Jackson county from all parte, and real estate is advancing rapidly in price.

Holton is improving, both in population and building. The growth that place baa been slow, but steady and healthy. At the spring election the question is tn be decided whether the people of Jackson county are in favor of voting a tax of 16,000 for building a new court house at Holton. Mr, E. B.

Love ia doing a fine business iu the mercantile trade at Barrett's. He tells us his first year' eale of goods amounted to a little over S13.000. Passengers between Centralia and Seneca during tbe late cold snap. chrietened the old hack that runs be tween tnose two live towns "tbe ven tilator." Dr. N.

B. McKay, of America, went sixty miles to hear Nasby, and did not see nor hear him. The Doc tor will go his bottom dollar ou 'gas, but he doa't go a red on Petroleum We understand a Jiotel is badly needed at Barrett's, and when the side track and depot ia completed. we believe a hotel would be a good piece of property. The people of Holton are quite jubilant over the prospect of an early connection with the outside world by the Leavenworth, Solomon Valley and Denver railroad.

Morris have put up a dwelling on the site of their store which was lately burnt at Wetmore, and will go immediately to work and erect a new store building a little north-east of there. The new station at Whiting every day begins to look core like business. From the large number of teams hitched to the posts around the door, we judge that Mr. Stone is having a lively trade. L.

Z. Burr, late a teacher ia the school at Wetmore, has left that place and gone East. We predict it will not be long ere he will have an attack of the "Kansas fever," and again become a citizen ot oar State. We lately met on the cars Mr. T.

Holton has one of the best grad ed schools in Northern Kansas. It is under the charge of Prof. O'Brien, and employs three teachers. 'Wean derstand there are about 130 scholars in daily attendance. Johnny Wild, messenger for the C.

S. Ex. Co, "goes" for people car rying packages, etc, on the railroad unlawfully. He has greatly increas ed the business of this "old reliable" company since he came on the road. A county road haa been laid out between Whiting and Holton.

The distance ia eleven miles, by a very good road, over which heavy loads can be hauled while the distance from Netawaka is eaid to be ten and a half miles. We saw one of the noble Kicka- poos or Pottowattomies badly scared a few days ago. He was mounted on a pony near the railroad, and when the engineer sounded the whistle, the Indian started off oa Dexter time with shirt tail out and wind a blowing. We met, a few days ago, Mr. J.

K. Newcomer, editor of the Uyria (Ohio) Constitutionalist, and had a long and pleasaBt chat with him. Mr. Newcomer is here for a few days on hia first visit to Kansas. He is a member of the Blue Rapids Town Company, and expects soon to be come a permanent resident of Kansas.

He is a vigorous newspaper writer, a polished gentleman and scholar, and we doubt not will be a valuabla ac quisition to any locality ia which he may cast his lot. 'Shoo fly, don't bother me," is the latst phrase in'general use, it being applied to express a contemptuous retort to countless questions of personal responsibility, knowledge, re ligion and law. For instance, Dick is busily engaged in playing a game of marbles, but being called to get a bucket of water, responds, "Shoo fly, don't bodder me." John asks Abe what has become of his steel trap but Abe, knowing the question to be a large sized gimlet, says ''SI oi fly. don't bodder me." The minister calls loudly upon his hearers to re form their livs, 'get religion, and join the flock over which he presides, but how many there are who practically say "Shoo fly, don't bodder me." And as for its use in law matters, why it is even reported as being used by our law-rfiakprs in Congress. All over the land it is the popular phrase of the day, and for the reason that it can be used with so many ehades of meaning.

Not so ia it with the same idea, as expressed by Uncle Toby," when he caught a fly which had been buzzing about his nose, and carried it to the window and let it go away, saying, "go, poor devil, get thee gone, thi3 world is surely wide enough to hold both thee and me." But still we like the old version, for the whole story of Uncle Toby, Corporal Trim, and the Lien- tanant. notwithstanding we are told that "the army swore terribly in Flanders." 13 a gem in the crown of English literature, and always will be.
