Greonlco, of tho Bluo Hill Leador, in commenting on our creamery item of rccont tlato says: "Ho (meaning tho editor of this papor) must know that it is impossible to run n creamery successfully without cream, and that thoro is not enough cream to 1)0 had in tho territory tributary to Rod Cloud to keep tho creamery going." The Chief man has been in Rod Cloud near ly cloven years, and tho above, statement of our editorial brother sounds lileo moonshine, from tho faot that a formor crcamory run by Shnrdor and MoShano of Omaha, and oporated by J. II. Smith during tho early portion of ourrcsidenco horo, flourished liko n Groon bay troo and had tho cream of a thousand cows Now. theso cows woro not on a thousand hills, but within a fow miles ot tho city, say a radius of fifteen miles, and wo havo been reliably informed that it would bo ah easy matter to socuro at least 500 cows. Of course, it would tako an effort porhaps to got thorn, but no man's business succeeds without an ef fort is made on his part ti build it up. Mossrs, Parker & Fulton have designat ed thoir intention of running tho busi ness this Eeason, nnd this papor hopea that every farmor near this oity will see to it that thoy havo plenty of cream, so that thoy will bo enablod to run it with profit to thomsolvos and patrons. Fort Ten Dayh. On last Tuesday, Diodorich & Cook's boot and shoe store was tho sceno of considerable excite mont. On said day a gontloman camo walking into tho store, and wanted to get a pair ot socks to try on n pair of shoos, but found ho couldn't got thorn, so, finally, ho said ho would go out and got a pair. In tho moanwhilo, ho had beon loaning against tho conntor on tho south Bido nnd swiped a pair of shoes I don't moan ho blacked or cleaned thorn, but just neatly swiped thorn but Uonry Diodorich, noticing how his coat bulged out, startod and followed him, catching him in front ot Fentress & Zo luff's barber shop and bringing him back to tho store, whero a littlo scufllo en sued, tho fellow evidently not liking the scone ot his crime. He then dropped the ehocB and ran off, cutting across the bottom in the direction of Gov. Gar bor's. Henry immediately put on his hat and started in hot pursuit. Ho over took him in the swamp, but tho fellow concluded not to go peacefully back and horo another strugglo took place, but when Charloy Winfrey, who had ap poarod on the scene by this time, gave him tho privilege of having his brains beaten out or going quiotly, ho decided that discretion was tho bottor part of valor and subsided. The next day whon arraigned bofore tho judgo, upon inak- ine a most piteous appeal to his honor, ho wns only given ten days with broad and wntor as a diet.

Said guest immediately opened the door, wheroupon ho discovered an old gentle man porhaps 65 years of ago lying on tho door stop, completely overcome by exhaustion. Ho woslbrought inside tho houso and every effort put forth by kind hands to rtotoro him to consciousness and comfort. Ho was very obstinate, and in response to tho requests to sum mon medical attondanco, ho stoutly re monstrated, saying ho would soon be well again.
