To I sure work and attention are deinandec but the returns are ample and satisfai tory. Give us more broom corn. As cold weather approaches , it ma not be inopportune to suggest a woi of caution in regard to water pipe : Firstly. Frozen pipes may be avoide by shutting off the supply below tl surface. Secondly. Bursted pipes ca be largely avoided by using judgmei in thawing them out , when through nej lect they become frozen. The thawin process should be gradual , not usin too great heat or too warm water , an the water should always be shut off belo the surface before attempting to thav We note with considerable satisfai tion the fact that the parties who hav been interested in protesting final prooi made in this vicinity have made a wis reconsideration of the matter and witl drawn the objections filed. The difi cultics which would necessarily resu from such a course are obvious an wotild be most wide-spread and seriou in their nature : Beclouding titles checking the loan of money , the sale c real estate and the creation of a dii distrust which would indeed be disai trous to this new country. It was found necessary to dismiss tli scholars in Miss McNamara's roon Monday morning , to escape the co ; smoke and gas which filled the room t an uncomfortable degree , by reason c the inharmonious action of the flue an the ventilating apparatus , which , it aj pears , occurs when the gentle zephyi rustle from a particular point of th compass. In this favored land of pr < vailing and contrary winds , the matte of draft , flues , ventilation , is imporl ant and essential , and the school boar might do well to investigate the caus thoroughly and rectify speedily.

It is with profound regret that T learn of the resignation of Rev. Jc S' Kelsey from the pastorate of tl Congregational church of this city , ai it is with a deep sense of humiliatii that we hear it stated that the probab cause of the resignation is the failu of the church to meet their financi obligations. If such is the case , i hope that tho members of the chun will awake to the duty and dignity the occasion and raise the funds , ai secure the withdrawal of the resign tion. The writer entertains a high r gard for Rev. Keisoy , and delicai alone , refrains him from saying more a personal way ; but suffice it to sa that the community can ill-afford to di pense with the efforts of Rev. Kelsi at this time , when dollars and cen seem to be only involved. The meeting of the JToung People Association at F. L.

A collection for the'poor of the city will be taken up. . The Democrat has positive informa tion that on the completion of the new line east to Kdgar , that Holdrcge will be made a division point on the B. & M. system. The present mileage of road handled by Supt. Campbell at Mc Cook is too much for any one man. The completion of the new lines from this point will add about 300 miles of road. The territory to be covered by the new superintendent will reach from Oxford to Hastings ; from DeWitt to Akron via Curtis ; from Curtis to Chey enne. The last road is unfinished , but will be completed the coming year. The superintendent has not yet been ap pointed , but it is generally conceded that J. 11. Phclan , the present train master , under Supt. Campbell , is the most qualified man for the place as he has a comprehensive knowledge of the lines to be operated , and is thoroughly conversant with the duties since he has been under the training of the best superintendent on the system. The new division will bring with it a ma- * chine shop , round house and about 150 men and fifty engines to be handled. from here in addition to rolling stock. Every encouragement should be given the enterprise and our citizens should fully appreciate this new evidence that the B. & M. railroad is the friend of Holdrcgc. Iloldrege Democrat.
