En quire of A. Hcnrj', Columbus, or of C.J. Willman, Central City. Quite a number of our young men on Thursday last realized that New Year's night was excessively cold. Not a few were around on Thursday with their ears in a sling. Last Thursday, a team of horses attached to a wagon, became fright ened at something they saw, and ran away, which is nothing unusual. Damages light, which was fortunate. There is some talk of Spencc committing matrimony. In inter viewing him, he states that he has talked something about the matter, and his inclinations are iu that di rection. J. G. Compton who was charged with forging a note on Mrs. Ella Young, had a hearing before James Russell, Esq., on the 3d and wa9 acquitted by the justice, and dis charged. J. C. Morrissey has made an im provement on his elevator. He now takes the grain to the roof, indeed above the roof, where it is weighed, and from there discharged to the cars on the track. Ole Oleson of this city, who bought laud on the Reservation, has had about one hundred and fifteen large trees stoleu from him. He purposes prosecution to tho full extent of the law. Last week J. O. Shannon, ad vertized in the Journal to take orders for putting rubber strips on doors and windows, and he is now receiving orders lively. That is the way, if you want business, advertise. M. Kramer, of the New York Cheap Cash Store, returned Satur day from his trip to Denver. He will establish a branch store at North Platte, opposite the post-office. The storo at Silver Creek will be dis continued. Al. Arnold and Geo. W. Hulat came down from Silver Creek the other day on the 11 a. m. train, look a cold lunch, and immediately lelt on a fishing expedition, notwith standing that the mercury stood 5 below zero. Now is the time for iced drinks. Iced tea, ice-cold lemonade, &c. There are extra facilities for fur nishing these luxuries just now; they arc "on call" at any place, in fact might be sent by mail ou orders from the country. Revival meetings will be held iu the M. E. Church commencing next Sabbath, January 12th, at 11 a. m., and continuing until further notice. Services every evening at 7:15. All are cordially invited to participate in the meetings. Bcclier & Reynolds, General agents for more than 200.000 acres of B. & M. R. R. lands in the north Platte country, are kept busy these cold days corresponding with par ties who arc coming west in the spring to invest in Nebraska soil. One day last week Mr. J. II. Reed, while feeding a boar in his pen, was unexpectedly and savagely attacked by him, and bit iu several places. Mr. M. Regan, his neigh bor, happened to be there at the time and rescued Mr. Reed from his perilous position. The suspense is ended. We as a nation have rC-umed. No one in tills locality has suffered. No bank has failed. None of our merchants have complained. Our farmers en ter no complaint as to the evil ef fects of resumption. All breathe easier and even body appears to be satisfied. Those little oil stoves which were sold last summer, to enable our cook to get up meals at nearly no cost and without heating up their rooms, are just the thing during this cold weather. We saw the devil iu a printing office the other day sitting on one of them warming himself. The question for deb.itc at the meeting ot the "Literary" next Fii day evening at the brick school house is, ''Should all property be taxed?'' Affirm, L. J. Cramer, C. A. Speicc, S. L. Barrett and Martin Bcag.in ; Deny, J. G. Higgin, J. E. North ami Thomas lieugan. The public arc invited. John Strasser says that he has a saloon bill of two years' standing against a politician of Columbus. We always knew that Jackson was quite a place for drinking beer, etc., but wo supposed that the liquors were mostly paid for on delivery. We see uo special reasou why poli ticians of Columbus should be fa vored more than auy others in this respect. W. B. Dale and A. M. Jennings wore absent last week at Albion and Neligh. At the former place they organized a lodge of Knights of Honor. They report a cold ride against the wind Tho sand hills are drifted full of snow. On the road Jennings complained of a cold stomach, and Dale wanted to pre scribe for him, but Jenniugs wa9 afraid to trust him. The Cornet Band ordered through their Secretary, Monday morniug, of Lyons & Healey, Chi cago, a full set of new instruments. These instruments will cost the baud something over three hundred dollars. They have about two hun dred In their treasury, and we hope that their next entertainment will be very liberally patronized so that they cau clear themselves of the in debtedness thus iucurred. Dr. A. G. Morcy was in the city last week. Ho had just rcturucd from Madison county, N. Y., his former place of residence, where he h3d been visiting. He says that after living in the west the hills in that vicinity look a great deal high er, and the valleys not near so broad as they did of old. Every thing ap pears strange to him, and it seems as if he had at one time seen the country, but ho can scarcely realize that he ever lived there. The B. & M. railroad lands of Madison county came into market the first of the present month. If you want first choice of these un cullcd lands call on Becher & Rey nolds, general agents at Columbus. On last Thursday eveniug ten were received into the Congrega tional church, eight of whom enter ed into covenant with the church Sabbath morning, and the remain ing two will very 60on. The following officers were elected iu the M. E. Sunday School last Sabbath : A. C Tignor, Super intendent; Francis Kerr, Assistant; John Hempleinan, Secretary ; Lizzie Davis, Treasurer; Arthur Brooks, Librarian ; Mary Turner, Organist. Owing to a defect in tho heat ing arrangements the services in the Presbyterian church had to be suspended last Sabbath. The de fect however will be rectified this week and the public may in future calculate on finding a comfortably heated house. Major North whilo in Chicago recently received from his old friend, "Buffalo Bill," as a Christmas pres ent, au Esquimaux suit, said to be the only one in the United States. We have no doubt but that the Ma jor will put it to good use before Spring opens. A. E. Touzslin, Land commis sioner, .of Lincoln, arrived at this city Saturday to make further ar rangements with Bccher & Reynolds, general agents of the B. & M. R. R. lands, to accommodate the large number of immigrants that are ex pected here in the spring. As is usual at this season of the year, many are afUictcd with re forms. Some of our young men resolved to quit swearing on New Year's morning, and, to aid them in their resolve, bargained iu solemn compact that he who broke the same should pay the other parlies to the contract fifty cents; they were all ahead two or three dollars by the close of the day. - Quite a number of the friends of Miss Fannie II. O'Callahau met by invitation on Monday evening at the residence of her brother-in-law, J. C. Morrissey. The cveuing passed very pleasantly devoted lo conversation, music and games. De licious refreshments weie served by tho young lady as hostess, and when the hour for the "good-nights" had arrived, all agreed that a more en joyable social event had not come within the range of their experience. Owing to tho absence of Will B. Dale, G. D. K. of II.. tho officers of Monitor Lodge were not installed last Saturday as announced in out last issue. We are now authorized to say that the installation of the of ficers of Monitor Lodge, Knights of Honor, and of Mystic Council, Roy al Arcanum, will positively take place at IlicK. of II. hall ou Friday evening, Jan. 10th. If Mr. Dale is not present the services of a Deputy G. D. will be secured. The services will be public to those holding tick ets of admission or a special invita tion. On New Year's night, at the res idence of Thos. Potts, in this city, Mr. Joseph Roberts was united by marriage to Miss Mary Golden, for merly the wife of Charles Edgcrtou of Omaha, from whom she was granted a divorce. Justice McAl lister tied the matrimonial knot, and we hope the couple thus joined may never have cause to wish it severed, and that iu their pathway through life they may be able to avoid the conjugal briars and thorns that must, without forbearance and a proper curbing of the spirit that is always ready with promptings that are wrong, boset the way. A farmer near the city has a shepherd dog that has acquired quite a reputation in the neighborhood, for his good sense, sound discretion and executive ability. His last noteworthy feat occurred on Sat urday. A light wagon was run into by a passing team, breaking a wheel and frightening the horse to that he ran away. After running about a quarter of a mile, he came into the dog's neighborhood. The dog, who seems to know instinct ively when anything of that kind is wrong, seeing the horse pass, im mediately took after him, headed him off, turned him, made him go towards a barn, and held him there until his master came aud secured the horse. What a time for local items ! It has becu rather too cool for anything unusual'to happen. Outside of re marks'about frost-nipped fingers or cars, all talk has beeu confined to the state of the weather. The Police Judge who wails iu his dormitory for local police items has passed the state of chronic expectancy and has been seen on the street with a smile so warm that the coldest breath that zephyred ruthlessly by could not freeze, but then, some there are.who say his girl sent him a nice Christ mas present. No police news indi cates that all the badness is frozen out of everybody. Then there has net eveu been a dog fight. A runa way team or two only tends to show that "in the poetry of motion there is lile." The only thing belligeraut in the city during the pat week was Pat, the white dog at the Clother House, worrying a hog, during the sunny hours last Monday, and he did this through a mistake; he thought the hog was a cat, aud he went at it to work it into sausage. The Great West. From David Anderson (whose return from Denver we mentioned last week) we get the following items : He rode from Cheyenne to Golden, distance 120 miles, on Christmas day on an engine, in the midst of a big snow storm that last ed 2-i hours. Two engines had been ditched, and several coaches wreck ed on the C. C. R. R., a few days previous ; snow lay 6 inches deep in Colorado near the Foot Hills,and the Denver people were enjoying de lightful 6leighing. Mr. A. says that Denver and Golden presented a perfect wonder to him, in their pro gress and growth, as he lived at both places before a respectable dwelling had been erected. The Leadville mines are attracting uni versal attention. This rich mining district lies 125 miles southwest of Denver, and is located almost in the heart of the great Rockies. Three railroads are already projected to Leadville, and the town and dis trict, though less than 8 months old, contains a solid population of 10,000 people. Last spring, shoemakers, tailors, barbers, and poor laboring men left Denver to prospect that region, and within a fortnight were ranked among the wealthy "nabobs" of southern Colorado. Two thous and teams are engaged freighting merchandise, provisions, &c, into these new mines, and return ladcued with rich ores for the extensive smelting works near Denver and other points throughout the valley. Mr. A. visited his old friend cap tain Reed and family in Golden. Ho also met II. P. Handy in Denver, he whom Madame umorRhad reported killed on the C. C. a year or two ago ; he also met our old townsman, Jo. Baker and his son Platte Baker who is now running an engine on the passenger train between Chey enne and Golden, and Platte is doing well and likes his new home and new position. Mr. A. remarks that all his old friends of '59 and 'CO, who remained in Colorado, without an exception have become wealthy. .. The Prospect. It may not be amiss, now that "the harvest is past and the Summer is ended," to review in general outline what has taken place iu our city and county during the year gone by. It would be an arduous task to give the improvements in detail. The improvements in the city have, in the main, been of a substan tial nature, while those in the county have been extensive and durable. Traveling in any direction from the city, persons meet with good, sub stantial aud neat farm houses and out-buildings, where but a few years ago was wild prairie or but sod shanties. The most encouraging feature about this fact.is that while eastern people have been complaining sorely of hard times, our people have been cheerful aud hoperul, and notwith standing the low rates paid for farm products, have had enough to eat and to wear, if not a very great sur plus. This is not the least of the benefits enjoyed by the people of this locali ty. While in quite a large portion of our common country the ravages of a fell disease has prayed upon the people, destroying thousands or lives and paralyzing the industries of that locality, we have been healthy and happy. While near us and all around us, crime.-!, startling in their nature, terrible in their character, and shocking iu the recital have ta ken place, our community has qui etly obeyed the law in all its forms. No strikes nor tidal waves of Communism have visited us, nor have our business men met with dis aster. The retrospective view is cheering and the prospective, we think, is equally hopeful. Hon. Cyrus Allen. This gentleman, late representa tive of Butler county in the State legislature, died at his home at Sutn mit,on Christmas evening of inflam mation of the bowels. The David City Republican ays: "Tuesday night, the 24th ult., he was suddenly seized with cramps iu his stomach and bowels, and suffer ed considerable during the night. Early on Christmas day Dr. Peebles, of this city, visited him, and suc ceeded in alleviating his nain con siderably before he lelt. About dark, however, the pain returned, and alter intense suffering, death came to his relief about 11 o'clock, p. m." We made Mr. Allen's acquaint ance several years ago when snow bound at his place for three days, aud formed a high opinion of his character as a man and citizen. He was conscientious, charitable, earn est, outspoken, and a thorough pat riot, uuiversally respected for his manly qualities. This were a good world, indeed, it composed of men like Cyrus Allen, aud we heartily join the Republican in saying: "He is dead, but his name and memory will live in many hearts aud households in this county. Let it he said of him as we bow mourn fully over his grave, his virtues were many, his faults were few, aud vices he had none. There has been no time since we have known Cyrus Allen that he was not prepared to die. In his death the county loses one of its best citizens, society one of its brightest ornaments, and vir tue one of her truest champions. His face and form we shall see no more, but the memory of his -pure life we can retain forever." For Sale. One good cow and two yearling steers. Inquire of F. D. Hardy, or at this office. Genoa. Dec. 2Sth, 1878. Dear Journal: You will want to know something from time to time of the prospects and prosperity of your rival city of Gcuoa. "Well, she is just now recumbent like the Sphinx, revolving her future great ness, though it cannot be said of her that she equals Chicago in size, yet it can be 6aid of her, as it hardly can of Chicago, that every house within the limits of the cor poration (to be) is full, and that some houses are crowded. The first term of tho Normal School has cuded, leaving three pretty distinct impressions on the students' minds: First, that Mr. Rakestraw has a peculiar aptitude for getting them on, and making them 6tudy; second, that he is thor oughly in his work ; and third, that he counts nothing too much for his pupils, who, in return, seem to cher ish a wonderful loyal enthusiasm for their teacher. The number of students is not yet as great as it should be, but " Retain aud search after," seems to be the motto. If any strangers come to Colum bus inquiring for homes, take your percentage and pass the rest on to us. Judging both by experience and observation, I can say that they are likely to find the Messrs. Willard considerate and accommodating landlords, bent on turning a pleasant site into a pleasaut town. Hawkeve. abetter 1-ilnt.

Editor Journal: "A Subscri ber," in your issue of Jan. 1st, 1879, asks the solution of an example. I have looked the example over and find it au impossible one for the reason that the person who may at tempt the solution must assume that the candle is the light which causes the shadow and he does not 6tate, if the caudle is the cause, how high the flame of the caudle rises above the top of the same. There must be more definite terms riven to enable any one to -olve his shadow problem. A Reader. Granville Precinct. Jan. 3d, 1879.

A little better order on the part of some would have conduced more to the pleasure of all and to the credit of the man agement. Tho Sons of Temperance realized some thirty dollars clear of expenses.
