We republish this week the call pf the Library Association for ma terial aid. The bcheme is an excel lent one, Columbus is now large enough and ought to have enterprise euough to organize this associatiou on a bolid basis. Read the address. Needed improvements are going on at the Engine House, which, of course will have a tendency to bring a 6tnile to the face of the average Columbus fireman. A full house aud a good time at the Literary held every Saturday evening at Wattsville school-house. This speaks well for the enterprise of the citizens of that district. The family of C. S. Webster,over the river, had a real nice Christmas, and Mr. Webster is wonderfully pleased with his Christmas gift. It is a boy. Mrs. Webster is doing nicely.

We learn that she is giving excellent satisfac tion as teacher. Lute North came down last week from his ranchc on the Dismal bringing with him fourteen head of horses. He reports the Indians troublesome aud still engaged in stealing horses, having taken a large number from their ranchc. It is said that a fanner can make a very cheap ice-houe by digging into a straw stack ou the north side, stowing away the ice and filling up again. It is said that the ground upon which it is placed should be frozen, and that it will remain so all the summer. Those who arc contemplating building, especially farm-houses, should investigate for themselves the propriety of using the now famous Russian healing stoves or ovens, designed for burning straw or hay very economical, conven ient aud comfortable. The Christmas tree at the M. E. church was well supplied with pre sents for all the Sunday School scholars. The minister, Rev. Fle harty, was kindly remembered also, and received some nice presents. The school aud friends had a good time, and adjourned at an early hour Christmas Eve. It would be impossible for the Journal to mention the many who received Christmas presents but we cau uot refraiu from referring to the one received by"Dick"Rossiter,from his employers, Spcice & North. It will be remembered that last fall "Dick" lost by fire his barn, harness, etc., aud on Christmas day he was made the recipient of a $33 set of harness, aud of course he was happy. "By-gotie Days," the subject of Rev. E. L. Sherman's discourse for Sunday evening last, attracted quite a large number the Opera House being two-thirds filled by attentive listeners. At the close, Mr. Sher man announced for his subject ucxt Sunday eveuing at the same place, " Days to Come," which is intended specially for the younger portion of the community. We predict for him a large audience. On two occasions a citizen of this city has caught runaway teams. Caught them at the danger of life aud limb. He says he will do so no more, as on last Friday, he caught a team on Olive street, which was on the ruu, and wheu the owner, who had been taking a drink, came out and found his team gone, he, the owner, became excited and on find ing the team in the hands of this benevolent gentleman, wanted to know what iu he was doiug with his team. The benevolent gen tleman apologized for his iuterfer euce, and, by promising to do so uo more, the owner let him off with out paying a fine. New Year Lecture to Young People at the Opera House, next Sunday Evening, by Rev. Sherman. Subject: "Days to Come." A cor dial invitation to atteud is extended to all.

Three soldiers got off a train Sunday night, aud at Henry Hew itt's eating-house stole a napkin aud a pair of gloves. At 11 :30 the night watchman, Johu McMahon, found them near Longshore's wind-mill and took them iu. There being no probability that the theft could be proved, they were told to go. Lute North recently received a letter from Wes. Rhone, on the North ranchc, descriptive of a recent bout with the Indians. It is excit ing,and at the same time laughable to read Wes's description of their little army, the doings of the left flank, and how the brave boys on horses made the best half-mile on record to get away from a posse of Indians on foot. A few days since, the Omaha papers mentioned the fact that one J. C. Henry had been brought down from Fremont by the U. S. Marshal, on the charge of counterfeiting. This is, of course, not J. C. Henry of the firm of Henry & Bro.. and son of A. Henry of this city, but a per son of exactly the same name but of very bad character, and who has re sided near and iu Fremont for the past eight or ten years. Iu accordance with the request of the Woman's National Christian Temperance Union, that the month of January should be observed as a time for special prayer and ellort in the temperance cause, the Union of Columbus will hold a gospel tem perance meeting on each Sabbath afternoon of the mouth at 3 o'clock. The meeting next Sabbath will be held in the Piesbytcrian church. The meetings are open to all. Win. Stevens says that to one of his animals that was attacked the other day by dry murrain he gave a mixture of laudanum one-half ounce, Perry Davis's pain-killer one half ounce aud linseed oil one pint. To a full-grown animal he would give twice that amount. The dose should be repeated until the pain ceases, and a passage of the bowels is secured. The remedy was effective iu this instance, and he be lieves would be iu most cases. The chairs at the furniture store of A. N. Burgess & Co., given to the oldest man and woman in each of the counties of Platte and Boone were disposed of as foils ws : Platte county, Win. Shefford of Columbus, father-in-law of II. J. Hudson, born September 1st, 179G age S2 years, 3mos; Rebecca Snider, mother-in-law ol Barclay Jones, age 87 years. Boone county B.irzilla Wordcn, ago, S2 years, Elizabeth Bollman, mother of Rev. S. P. Bollman, age 83 years. 3 mos. C. E. Morse has begun the erec tion of a new building adjoining the Tattersall on the south, and to be used for a livery. The building is to be of frame 28xG0 ft., and similar iu appearance to the Tattersall. It is just five years to-day since the Tattersall received its first horse for feed, and the establishment has been conducted ever since on first-class principles. Charley is one of the cleverest men in the country, aud we are glad to note this additional evidence of his prosperity. The "Literary" of Dist. No. 1 meets again next Friday evening.

Declamation, Alferd Davis, Eddie Early, U. P. Coolidge, Johu Smith, Gussie Speice, Frank Brindley, August Deitrick, Arthur Wolfel, Bertie Aruold and others. A cor dial invitation is extended to all. "Evidences of Christianity;" the third lecture ou the above sub ject will be given in the Presbyte rian Church on Sabbath evening next, Jan. 5th, by Rev. R. Christison, subject, "Is the Bible a Forgery?" These lectures, while giveu for the benefit of all, are specially intended and adapted for the more thinking portion of the community. Intelli gent men aud "free thinkers" of all shades of opinion are particularly invited to attend, aud give the sub ject a fair hearing. Mr. C. intends giving one of these lectures once a month during winter. ItlallcIoBs Ifllscklef. A few days ago John Reagan,who lives on Shell Creek, turned out one of his valuable animals, a mare worth $175, and she came back in a few hours with a horrible gash in her hip, from which the blood flow ed very freely. Mr. Reagan feels sure from the manner iu which the wound was made, its shape and depth aud direction, that it must have been inflicted with an axe. He is compelled to believe that some man, lhroughenmity, to him, has endeavored to vent his spite, in this wicked manner, upon his inoffens ive dumb brute. If this should prove true, It is a most cowardly, and fiendish piece of business, and he who committed it deserves only the execration of the community in which he lives. .A man who allows his passion to thus far run away with his reason, should beware lest in an unguarded moment he commit a more heinous crime. Such men are dangerous in a community from the fact that they loye darkness rather than light, and because they strike the defenceless, the unguard ed aud the unsuspecting. For the sake of human nature iu Platte coun ty wo could hope it would be prov ed that this thing happened some other way, and that wc have uo such man anion: us. IiiililM or Honor. At the regular meeting of Moni tor Lodge No. S79, Knights of Honor, on Saturday evening, Dec. 28th, the following officers were elected for the ensuing term : P. D., John Wiggins; D., Albeit A. Smith; V. D., A. M. Jennings; A. D., John M. Kelley ; F. R., Henry P. Coolidge; T., George W. Hulst"; C, H. J. Hudson ; G., J.J. Slattery ; Guard, C. H. Matthews; S., Charles Mclntire ; Trustees, Chas. A. Speice, J. R. Meagher, F. F. Sanborn ; Med. Ex., Dr. I). T. Martyn ; Rep. to G. L., II. P. Coolidge; Alternate, D. C Lovelaud. The installation of the officers elect will lake place at the Knights of Honor Hall, ou Saturday even ing, Jan. 4th, 1879. The Grand Dic tator of the Knights of Honor of the State of Nebraska is expected to be present upon the occasion. The Irice of Wheat Wisneii, Neii., Dec. 27, '7S. Editor Journal: I notice in your paper of the 25th, a communi cation headed "The price of wheat." I beg leave to make one correction, aud add a few other statistics for the farmer to read who is holding back his wheat expecting better prices in the near future. Your correspond ent gives 390,000,000 bushels as the crop of 1878. The agricultural de partment at Washington makes it 425,000,000 bushels as the crop of 1S78. Mr. A. C. Thomas of Chicago gives as the visible supply of wheat at the present lime 20,000,000 bush els. Afloat for the United Kingdom Dec. S, 14.000,000 bushels. Nearly 4,000.000 bushels iu store in New York. Surely a poor prospect for much better prices, unless on the principle that "all signs fail in a dry time." Respectfully yours, A. TltUESDELL. Why Is It? St. Edwards, Dec. 27, '7S. Editor Journal: Can you ex plain to your readers why the Boone Cousty Argus, our own county pa per, continues, week alter week, to misrepresent the price of wheat at Columbus? Fanners in this vicini ty rely upon the Argus for the quo tations of the wheat market at Silver Creek and Columbus, which arc given weekly. For several weeks past the quotations for both places iu the Argus have been the same, 50 to 55 cents. By the last Journal I 6ee that No. 1 wheat at Columbus is quoted at 58 cents. These hard times 3 cents, on the bushel is too much to lose "through an error in the quotation of prices. Boit. In reply we can give no other explanation than the one that usu ally explains the shortcomings of an editor, viz., that in the multiplicity of duties, he forgot to correct the wheat market. "Bob" should have sent for an explanation to Argus headquarters. Ed. . PoHtvlUe. Mr. D. Davis lost a very fine grey horse, one of a team he purchased last spring from F. Gillett, of Co lumbus. Mr. Hendiich has lost two young cattle. Mr. John Elliott has also lost two young cattle by the same disease. Mr. Bishop lost a valuable mare on the 27th tilt. Mr. James McClain received a large box the other day from Carlisle, Pa., aud $11 in monev through Miss Rebecca Elliott. Mr. McClain is the man that was so unfortunate as to lose his propertv lately bv fire. J. C. E. SIiimIown. Stearns Prairie, Dec. 29. Editor Journal : Will you allow me space for a little example that I would like to have worked out by some ot the pupils of Platte or ad joining counties? On a table of a circular form, 30 inches in diameter and 30 inches high, in the centre is placed a can dlestick 12 inches high; iu the can dlestick is a caudle 12 inches long, and bent at an angle of 45 degrees. Required the area of the shadow cast ou I he floor by the top of the table. A Subscriber. Keatskotoos, Dec. 28, 1878. Ed. Journal: The Central Nor ma School at Genoa closed its first term Dec. 24th. This School bids fair to be one of the best in Nebras ka. The Principal, Mr. Rakestraw, is a thorough, energetic teacher. We wish him success, and hope to see many new pupils in attendance at the comencemenl of uext term, Jan. 2nd, 1879. a. THE COLUMBUS LIBRARY ASSOCIATION. To the Public. For the information of all parties in terested, and the further developerhent of the case involved, notice is hereby given, that an organization has been perfected for the purpose of establishing a Library and public Heading Room in this city, and the success of tliis laudable enterprise will now materially depend upon the as sistance and active co-operation of our citizens. Articles of incorporation, including the Constitution and By-Laws agreed upon in a public meeting, have been recorded, and the Executive Committee have since ap pointed a committee to solicit donations of money, books, periodicals, or other useful and essential articles that may assist in building up and furnishing an institution which, if initiated and properly sustained, will prove a credit and of vast benelit to our city. Over two lnnu'red dollars have been subscribed,as a start, and as soon as a sufficient amount shall be paid or pledged, a room will be obtained, and an appropriate selection of books and period icals procured, and said Reading Room opened to the public. Our citizens may expect a. call, and they should be ahje to see at a glance, that this is not a solicita tion for a subject of charity of doubtful propriety, but one for the present and permanent benefit of our young city and its growing populace. Let five times the amount named be raised if possible, as it will assuredly prove to be a valuable in vestment for the public welfare, and he who contributes most liberally, will never have occasion to regret the act. By a provision of the constitution, the Reading Room will be under the charge of a librarian, with suitable regulations, and will be open at all seasonable hours to the public, without charge. Any one paying one dollar into the treasury, and signing the Constitution, becomes a mem ber of the Association, and entitled to a voice and a vote in all its proceedings. Library tickets will also be issued, and any member or other person on the pay ment of one dollar, will be entitled to a ticket, good for one year, that will allow said person to draw books for stated peri ods; the proceeds to go towards the need' ful expenses, or to augment the library. The fees for membership and library tick ets may be taken from any one's subscrip tion, if desired, or they may be made ad ditional thereto. While membership is not essential to secure the prviilegcs of the library, yet all who are favorably dis posed, and who do not feel able to make a larger contribution, are earnestly solicited to subscribe enough, at least, to entitle them both to membership and the pur chase of a library ticket, and those who have more ample means, we trust, will feel constrained to give in due proportion, but let no one's contribution be measured by his neighbor's purse, property, or free will offering. Now, fellow citizens, this enterprise is commended to your judgment, and must rely upon your fostering aid, upon a liber ality of will and a generosity of purpose that will cause your hands, in sympathy with your hearts, to reach your pocket or check books, and thus enrol your names as public benefactors. Neither excuses nor special pleas will fill the bill, for as citizens whose interests arc involved with our own, wc need not only your good will and sympathy, but something tangible and practical; your names, your influence, and a portion of your money; and upon your action will depend the success or failure of the effort. If we succeed, to you will all credit be due, and a land-mark of pro gress will be established in our history; if we fail from lack of means, upon you will fall the discredit; but we trust that your action will be such as to show, that no delusive phantom of failure will readi ly disturb your imaginations or thwart your nobler impulses. In a commercial or business point cf view, while holding out inducements to settlers, Columbus should foster a little pride in keeping pace with her sister cities of the state, as our educational sta tus and our facilities for literary culture will elicit inquiry, and will be reflected as it were from the sign boards of our town, either to repel or attract intelligent immi gration. We believe that our general reputation, as well as the moral aud intel lectual standard of our city, would be ele vated by a good library and reading-room in our midst; that a greater love for sci ence, history, and good social literature would be acquired, and under judicious management, that much good, both direct and reflective, would be produced upon our entire community thereby. On behalf of the Executive Committee, Very Respectfully, Wm. Burgess, President. E. L. Sherman, Secretary. Prairie Creefc Etem. Editor Journal: Every person seems to be thoroughly settled down for the winter, and we have neither accidents, funerals nor wed dings, tor all which we trust we are grateful; therefore owing to the tact, that your humble correspon dent is not a very imaginative sort of a person, it is uext to au impos sibility to find anything to interest the critical readers of the Jour nal. We were very forcibly impressed by reading the article in your last issue concerning the vast amount of mischief one mean man is capable of committing iu the neighborhood iu which he lives; we thoroughly realize this fact, but of course no such persons live iu our neighbor hood. Mr. Henry Bellamy started last Wednesday to visit his former home at Hillsdale, Mich. Mr. Joseph Gardner returned last week from a business tour. Mr. E. Culy has beeu quite sick for some time past, but is now con valescent. The "Literary" meets again at the school-house, next Friday evening. Ne Plus Ultra. MARRIED. STEVENS IIENSLEY.
