A VISIT TO ST. JOII.VM
At one o'clock, prrnisly, on Wednesday the
88th day of lust month, we straddled a nngof
the Mustang order, And wrro torm jolting
westward, on our way to a town that boasts
of the reverential nnme if 8t. John'B. It
etug the first time we had ventured outside
the corporate limits of Iakota City, uulees to
cross over iuio Iowa, we dntertniu-) 1 to nj
tiee things 00 oor way. We were purtiaular
ly impresxed with tha lieauty, of the country,
the richuena of the suit, tho abundance of
timber, aud the evident nvtiks of thrift and
Industry, everywhere discernahlo. At a dis
tance of three miles, lrng measure, aud an
hours'e leisure jogging, we reached the town
jf Logsn.
Logan is situated oa the Missouri bottom
alongside the river, lias a good hotel, a saw
and grist mill, and hears unmiHtakable sins
of hiving been knocked lu tho head There
was time when Logun was thejjt.iwn of this
county; but bid times operato 1 on it woefully
Leaving this place we bore to tho Northwest,
for a mile or in ire, aud were soon in the
rjeiijhboihoo I of the Logan Timber. Hero a
taw mill was ruling and blowing at a furious
ra'.o, and men were .busying themselves in
ivigeting logs intuit arid lumber out of it
There we altered onr course and went aa Bear
)y west as the curves and angles in the road
would permit. On either Ide were au'ig
h.iusaa on every llf mile of ground, up and
down the bottom, aa far as the e"e could
reach. Standing in the rear, or oil lo one side
of eearly al', ware stacks f hay and grain ;
and each houae had ts rrib of coru hun ly la
whiih Ibe bujhols Oi.uld be caiintod by the
hundred. Hre was the first wheut we saw
in the Te rrltoty we took (mius rains ta in
quire Into tho renult of the erop nn 1 found
that spring wheat does exceedingly well
The lowekt average yield we heard of was
furty buthcls to the tors, and lh hi'umi,
I ft y three. We heard of but one man that
raised winter wheat, but wore unable to learn
what eureeaa he had. The current opinion
Is tba winter wheat would not thrive Well, in
cooeiijooe of the bard frosts, and the land
being stripped of snow by the wild winda of
a Nebraska winter. Nevertheless, we think
good crops of winter wheat can be raised, If
the seed grain ia plowed into the ground to
the depth of four or fire inches. Thia wou i
protect the roots of Ibe wheat from exposure
(0 the frosts and air, when the ground up
heaves in the spring.-

j thero we cannot divine. We will erapl.iy a
1 medium, a epiritual medium, to nnravel tbe
j mystery if another complaint is nttered.
I Several of our sitbnoribsrs are also complain
ing of the non receipt of the Herald, at tba'
office.
Christmas Dixxxk On Christmas day we
wers invited ont Iodine and w nt eut and
dined aoeordingly. The invitor was Dr.
Crockweli and the invito Wm. Curl, Jacob
Van Auken, Willian H Oglesby, and our
significant self, The voracity displayed by
the guesta waa rather remarkable on that hos
pitable occasion, but can ouly be accounted
for on the ground of having rich, tetapti ng,
and palatable viands spread before them.
If tbey did not do justice to tbe generosity
of the host, tbey at least done justice to the -dinner.
i
TnAREi. We were preieote with an in
terest in Pooea City, thecoonty seat of L'ixon
county, aud which ia represented as the most
beautiful town site in Nebraska, by II. A
Fuller Esq., for which we return our thanks
We intend visiting that place whenever we
can command forty-eight hours leisure, and
see for ourself.
Mail Bao Orxa The stage arrived lure
on Tuesday of last week, with the Omaha
Mail bag unlocked. Whethor it was owing to
carelessness or some ether oaune we are una
bio to my. The lock was fastened to the
ataple, but tha strap that confines the mouth
of the bag was dangling eround loose. Mora
caation in such matturs is needed ia order to
prevent a game of growl.
Bklmoosc. Nicholas Ryan and John Barry
denizens ef St. Johu's ptecinct, were in town,
last week, and did a talennfold. They both
worw unmistakble signs of having been particl
pants in a ekrimmage, melee, or "frea fight.'
Kyan's head waa badly battered and had a
I gish out on the right side abont three inches
long. As legal proceedings are about to le
instituted we refrain from commenting on the
matter. Cad blond nnd too much whiskey
was the oauae of it.
Saor. The first snow of the pcasan fell rn
the 27th nit. It rn nbout two inohee doep
and all blew away bofnre it had time to melt
We had a Iittlu shower of enow once before
but it melted aa fact as it touohed Mother
Earth. At this rate we predict spring about
the 1st of February, and corn planting in
April. We can beat tho world on wcath
or.
Cold. The weather turned suddenly cold,
last week. Oa Saturday morning lust, the
Mercury foil to thiity-four degress below JCoro
and 00 Sunday morning, New Toar's day,
was down to forty. This is what we oall cold
weather, very oo'd weather, if vra may
be permitted d d ool i weather.
Posies stolin. The Sioux Indiana atolo
t'lirty.flve ponies, from their copper color d
brothers, the Omaha, about two weeks since.
A band of Omabes went in pursuit of the
aboriginal horse thieves but brought back only
an account of having cent five Sioux's
to settle their account in Kingdom Come.
