Mysterious Deatb.
On Wednesday, the 3Dth of December,
WUliiin mi Chris. Uaalanger and uther
friends in thla city were shocked, to learn
that Gotüeb Ha langer, a brother of the
Hastangers here, h.id committed suicide.
Gotlieb waa a batchelor, aged 49 years,
who lived about 9 miles from this city
with bis nephew, Mathiaa Herker, a fir
mer in German township, in this oounty.
Seme ten or twelve friends of the deceas
ed went to the place where the body was ;
found, and inquest held.
The deceased was found suspended by
a rope around his neck, in an old log
shanty, in North township, ouly a fc.v
feet fivm the German townsb:p Hue.
When our informant arrive! at the place,
the body had been taken down by ig
Cororner. We learned that, when first
discovered, the deceased was hanging by
the neck, with a rone attached to a rafter
of the shinty. There was considerable
blood on his shirt front -hJ neck was cut
on lk left side, as if wia a knite, through
the wind-pipe. The gash was about four
inches lou ; but a part of that uistance
was a mere scratch. There were no sp-
pearancos"of any bruise by the rope. His
right hand was bloody and rested on a
rtece of scantling, which was also bloody.
There was a little blood on his lett hand
A bloody pocket handkerchief was found
In Iiis left coht pocket. Iiis eyes were
open and had the appearance ot appealing

He had on a pair of orerhalls over his
pants, which had the appearance of hav -

formant thinks he was murdered tor his
money. He w as known to have had
some money; probably $130 with him,
which cannot be found. He had recently
sold his farm for $1.800; but how much!
money he bad received on it, we could
not learn. On his person was lounrt a i thing, no mauei oy wnat motive or m

This forenoon Sheriff Turnock, by or

Cihanski murderer, into the Court, to re

very few that he was to be sentenced this
morning, consequently the Court room
was rather btre of spectators.
Hickman preceded the Sheriff into the
Court-room, walking with a quick elastic
tread, and passing inside, the bar. took his
seat on a chair at the corner of one of the
tables. He was dressed the same as du

Omaha Correspondence.
Omaha, Neb. Jan. 1st, 1875
Editor Republican:
Christmas passed off very pleasant, in
deed ; every thirg conspired to render it a
joyous occasion, for those so inclined. A
beautiful day, none better could be desir
ed ; the sleighing excellent. It passed otl
with all the usual observances, by the
christian community ; business was gen
erally suspended, and every body gave
themselves up to pleasure, devotion and
turkey.
This is the first day of Hie new year,
and gloomy it is, too ;not that the future is
otherwise than bright und joyous, or the
people happy J.ud satisfied, with the prom
isee ot the new year; but gloomy jrom
the indication' of an approaching storm,
cheerlt-ss to those whose scanty supply ot
fuel aui clothing, renders the otherwise
"happ new year," the advent of wunt
and distress; notwithstanding, let roe say.
r you "a happy New Year."
The beautiful weather we havo been
blessed with for the past two months is
without a parallel, in the history of this
State. The lowest the thermometer has
ranged, was six degrees below zero j then
it remained so only a short time one
morning.
The light warm days have had a tceden
cy to spoil the sleighing, and our only re
gret is thst we cannot have just snow
enough to permit us to realize some of
the genuine pleasure of "superbly beauti
ful winter weather."
The manner in which our grasshopper
sufferers have been cared for from abroad,
j lays us under many obligations to the
j generous donors wherever they exist, and
, I seek this opportunity to join in Ute gen
eral expression mi thanks, for the prompt
j and amplu response to the call for aid.
1 In some instances the story ot the depn
j vation has been exaggerated and many
have ivtu freely and amply in cone
quence.but to these we would say nothing
has come amiss ; the buffering was great,
'and while it required a vast amount of
needful supplies to alleviate the d'strcss,
and prevent general alarm, yet every-

Indiana Legislature.
The Legislature of this State meets at
Indianapolis to-day. The number of ap
plicants for office, by Democrats, is said
to be unprecedented.
We copy the following from the cor
respondence of the Chicago Dally Tri
bune. Indianapolis Ind., Jan. 5.- The mem
bers of the Legislature have mostly ar
rived, and the contest for the United
States Senator is growing red-hot. The
Democrats themselves are a little dubious
of their control of the Legislature after ail.
At least the Senate is an unknown quantity
and speculation is drifting mostly in that
direction. The Republicans are talking
quietly of a hope of gauing control of the
Senate, and possibly of defeating any
pronounced Democrat for Senator. Be
tween McDonald und Voorhees, the tide
to-day has et in favor of the former.
His tViends are very confident, claiming
over forty votes sure for him. Forty
will nominate. They are inclined to push
the caucus, naming Monday of next week,
or Tuesday night, at the fartheres-t. Voor
hees would like it postponed till Thursday
which indicates weakness. McDonrid
has a stn ng organization here, and they
are working shrewdly and unceasingly
! tor him. Ill-defined rumors ot mnney be
ing used cropped out to day. The cau
cuses for officers will be had to-morrow
night." There trill be no-trooole. In the
House. Turpie will be Speaker, and
Holmes, of Jtck son. Clerk. What w ill
be done with the Senate is the conun
drum. There are not a few straggling
with the belief that a third man will car
ry he prize, for the fight between Vor
jiess and McDonald ie a desperate one.
