Mr. Randall says that fowls of any kind prepared for shipping should be bled, the feathers taken off dry, and the entrails left in. This method prevents the air fi;om getting to the inside. Hon. T. C Ryan and D. C. Loveland spent Saturday and Sun day last at home, starting for Lin coln Monday morning. They are looking in excellent health, and give a good account of the legislature. Jas. Outwater advertises a pub lic sale at his residence in Jackson, on Sat. Feb. 15th. of horses, hogs, farm implements, household goods, lumber, &c. Ask John Huber, the auctioneer, for a poster giving furth er particulars. F. "W. Ott and family start to day for Denver, Colorado. Mr. Ott has lived in Columbus several years, married his wife here and their manj friends will be sorry to see them go. But, taking " Horace Greeley's advice, in going 6till fur ther west we expect to hear of him "growing up with the country." Success to him. This morning a man named Clark, a passenger on board the east bound emigrant train, when a short distance past the whistling post east, stepped from the train which was running slowly and after reaching the ground, appears to have thrown his head and arms across the rail and two coaches and the caboose passed over his ueck. When the train stopped he was found with his neck crushed, both arms thrown over the rails but neither of them Injured. Robert Pinson reports times as lively with farmers in his neighbor hood, many of them busy plowing last week, a thing Robert never did before, this time of year. The Rev. Thomas Bayne has transferred his ecclesiastical rela tions from the Columbus-Association to the Presbytery of Omaha. At the late meeting of the Pres bytery at Madison he was duly enrolled as a member. "We have blank note books, for sale, in books of 100 each, suitable for threshers, mechanics and others for work and labor; also the com mon form, and the note "payable at Columbus State Bank." Also re ceipts in book form. M. K. Tuu- neb & Co. Luers & Schreiber, the well known firm on Olive street, are erecting a large new building on the site of their old one osposite the Tattersall. The new structure will be 22x52 ft., two 6tories high, and will be much more convenient than the old one. "We are glad to note this evidence of thrift and enter prise. John Slrasser of Jackson was in the city Monday. He detailed to us his experience with the reporting tramps, and it was rich, for a fact. John has a practically philosophical turn of mind that serves him well on such occasions, and allows him to extract from such circumstances about all the fun and music there is iu them. Messrs. Smith &Tigner succeed Dullard & Smith in the grocery, produce and feed business, occupy ing the same rooms as the old firm, one door east of Gus. Schroedcr's hardware store. They expect to keep on hand a full line of groceries, and to deserve a share of public patronago by dealing fairly with their customers, aud giving them a full equivalent for their produce aud their money. F. P. Burgess has sold his in terest in the JETra to his partner, W. J. Heiislcy, who continues, as for merly, sole proprietor. Frank talks, whether jokingly or not we don't know, of going into the sheep busi ness. Anyhow, ho has climbed down from his tree, washed the war paint off his face, buried the hatch et, thrown his diary away, and is quietly smoking the pipe of peace. success to him. While a team was crossing the railroad track Saturday they were frightened at something mid became unmanageable by the young lad who was driving them, and were about to gc! away from him, when the womon by his side, who had hitherto re mained quiet (contrary to the usual custom) took hold of the lines, and very soon had the horses under con trol, we commend that woman for bravcin and presence of mind. The ladies of the M. E. Ciurcli, will give a Martha Washington tea parly on the evening of February 12th, at Mr. WadswortYs store room on 11th sticet. Admission 25 cents, oysters extra. All arc cordially in vited to attend. The Columbus Cornet Band will be present aud discourse good muic. On the fol lowing evening, at the same place, a supper will be served. No admis sion fee charged at the door. The proceeds will be applied on the debt of the church. Rev. Roc, who has been labor ing for the past two weeks in the revival meetings at the M.E. church delivered two very instructive ser mons on last Sabbath, with the ex pectation of closing his labors iu the evening. At the conclusion of the evening service several persons united with the church, and the con gregation appeared anxious that he should remain a while longer, and by a unanimous holding up of hands deteated his intention to leave. Preaching, wo learn, will be contin ued as uual in the evening at 7, unless otherwise ordered. "We have been taken to task by some members of the Columbus Dramatic Society with reporting their performance at the Opera House on Tuesday night last, as being played to a "very fair" house. The turn-out was not so large as we had anticipated for our young folks, who were devoting themselves to the laudibie undertaking of self improvement and of amusing and instructing their fellow citizens, in which they had been so successful in their first appearance before the public ; but taking into consideration the hard times and the fact that they had a larger house than has been drawn by any traveling troupe, it must be considered quite com plimentarv, aud was so viewed by the Club. The stationery stores are fully stocked with valentines. The human form divine is burlesqued in every conceivable manner. If a man's nose is a shade longer than the average,the highly-colored valentine will of course represent it as long as a fence rail ; if the eyes are natural ly large, the unsaintly valentine will show them as big as saucers, and bulgitig out far enough to be knocked off with a stick. We like rather, the old fashion which pre vailed in our boyhood days. Young men received letters expressive of the purest sentiments of affection, written by the fair one's own hand, without, however, a revelation of her name; while the youug ladies were overwhelmed with love mis sives, expressing every shade of the tender sentiment, together with some drawing or other evidence of art on the part of the unknown lover. The iHtcHBcrchor. Monday eveniug's train brought from Omaha Mr. Ii. Strasburg, pres ident, II. Raven, leader, aud twenty two members of the Omaha Man nerchor, to take part in the exercises of the Columbus Majuuerchor given at the Opera House on Monday evening. They were met at the depot, and with the Cornet Baud escorted to the rooms of the Majn nerchor club opposite the Court House, where a good time was had in toasts aud speeches. The leader of the Omaha club in his speech stated that they were pleased to meet their friends of Co lumbus, and with them participate In exercises which were ennobling and elevating. Music hath its charms, and since David sang to Saul it has obtained generally that music has much to do with sup pressing evil. And here, said he, is a matter of which I desire to 6pcak. We are, or profess to be temperate. "While we are not temperance men, nor have we views in accord with the movers of the bill in the present legislature of Nebraska, still we are temperate iu all things, and we be lieve this right. In the evening the Opera House was filled with the music-loving cit izens, aud the Columbus society, led by Emil Pohl, rendered the music set forth in the programme, exceed ingly well, and demonstrated that few societies anywhere have such a collection of good voices. Their rendering of "Come where my love lies dreaming" was good and was loudly applauded, affording the au dience an opportunity of realizing and enjoying the force and compass of Mr. Gorcs's voice. The Omaha club rendered several pieces in ad mirable style. The entertainment throughout was good, and of a nature to do credit to the perform ers aud leaders. Letter JList.

M. iullin IS:tcIc. Mr. Editor: Believing that the plan I make use of to break a horse of the bad habit of pulling back on halter or bridle is more effectual iu working a euro than any as yet brought forward iu the Journal I am induced to state iu what it con sists. Take ajf-hi. rope long enough to make a loop, passing it around the horse's tail and extending on each side of his back to the front of his breast where both ends of the rope are securely tied together; theu pass a surcingle around the horse's body to hold the rope in position. You will then be ready to put on the halter passing the strap through a ring in the manger or a post, then fasten the end of the strap securely to the rope at the horse's breast, and when he pulls on his halter the rope extending over his body will tight en aud pull on his tail and he will suddeuly quit pulling back, aud it works an effectual cure. R. C. Carpenter. Entertainment of Dramatic and Hu morous Recitations, at the Opera House, Friday evening, Feb.7th by Mrs. Laura E. Dainty. This popular Reader has been en gaged as above for Columbus, and a rich inicllcctual treat may be ex pected. She has been highly rec ommeuded by the "Redpath Lyceum Bureau" of Bo3ton aud Chicago, aud has met the warmest encomiums from various Literary Associations and the public press wherever she has appeared, for her dramatic and imitative powers and her admirable rendition, both of the grave and gay, but the people must see and hear her to appreciate the feast.

Scott, Geo. W. Turner, Joe Tiffany, S. O. Raymond, Andrew Matthis, Chris. Meedel. Motion, the secretary publish an abstract of proceedings in the city papers. Adjourned. H. J. Hudson, Sec'y. A New Firm. C. E. Morse and Phil. Cain, both well-known to most of our Nebras ka readers, entered into partnership last Saturday, and will hereafter conduct the Tattersall as a livery, feed and sale stable. Charley has been engaged in the business here for a number of years, and has, so far as we know, given universal satisfaction. He has always em ployed only the most careful and considerate help, and so the public who have patronized him, have been well served at all times. A new building.'has just been completed and attached to the old one, making the entire structure SixGl !t. 84 fronting on Olive. The new building will be used exclusively for livery, and has all the appointments of a first class livery, including shelter for buggies and carriages, harness wardrobes, &c, &c. Largo addi tions have been made to the livery stock, in the line of buggies, horses, &c, and the old reputation of the Tattersall will be fully sustained by the new firm. Fruit Prospects. Editor Journal : Your corre spondent from Rising City asks "through the Journal whether the late severe cold weather has injured any portion of the fruit prospects for next season?" I have carefully examined my "fruit prospects" aud find all right at present, except lea der varieties of red raspberries; the Snyder blackberry looks as healthy and vigorous as they were in the fall. Apples, pears, cherries and tame plums, I consider in a preca rious condition. If the weather should remain cool this month, the fruit prospects are good, but if a "very warm spell" should occur, such as we sometimes get in Febru ary in this latitude, then the weak ened buds will prematurely swell, and be apt to cast their fruit blos soms, and a barren tree for this spring be the result. The query of "Why Not" can be more definitely answered about the 1st of March. II. J. Hudson. Columbus, Xebr. Literary.

Journal : As a subscriber to the Journal makes inquiry on this subject, I give the following sug gestions: Pass the halter-strap or rope that you have to tie with, through the ring or hole, or over a pole, or whatever you have to tie to, and tie the end around his fore leg just above the kuec; this leaves him in such a position that he can not pull back without pulling up his fore foot, aud when one foot is off the ground, he can get no more pur chase on the halter; but be sure to tie in such a way that the halter strap or rope can slip backward or forward easily. This leaves your horse perfectly safe, anywhere, day or night. O. P. Reed. Red Ribbon Programme. SUNDAY EVENING, FEB. 9tH. Prayer by the Chaplain. Music by the Choir. Speech by Mr. Tiguer.

The aunual meeting of tho above named association was called to meet on Saturday eveuing last at tho Opera House. Tho president was there ready to preside, the treasurer to report the state of the finances, aud the secretary to give an account of his department, but as only ten shares were represented, not being a quorum, no business could be transacted. It will not, therefore, be out of order for the Journal to give a statement in brief of the mat ters of the association as they would have been set forth to the stockhold ers, if a quorum of them had been present. The total receipts for the year ending Saturday were $732.50; the disbursements have been, for sidewalk, $140; taxes, 2 years, $84; janitor's services, $130; iusurauce, $45; the mortgage debt of the asso ciation has been reduced $225. The remainder of the receipts was used for fuel, lignts and orders not paid the previous year. The present in debtedness is $1200. The officers deserve great credit for the manner in which they have exercised their trust, and the stockholders should at least have been present to signify their approval of the economic care of the board of directors. Jas. McDonald says that while at Lincoln he talked with Dr. Math ewson of the Asylum for the Insane, in regard to the condition of Chag. Ilamer, sent there from this county some time since. The doctor says that he is as well as he ever will be; that he is harmless, takes the place of a hired man, Mid is sent in charge of a team anywhero in the city. Platte county pays $4 a week and h's ciothing to keep him at the asy lum, while Mrs. Ilamer has offered to keep him at homo at an expense of $2 a week to the county. Mr. IPs condition is such that he per haps never will be able to manage for himself, but if his keep will cost the county less here than at Lincoln, and his health would now be as good here as there, tax-payers will not be able to see the reasou why he is not brought home. County Supt. Barrett authorizes us to say that the meeting, Saturday week, at the school-house in district No. 44, was authorized by himself and not by the school board. A petition had been circulated, and signed by a majority of the voters of the district, asking for a division, which, the Sup't. having to make, concluded to call a meeting of the voters to confer with them, in order to have the division as satisfactory as possible The division that was made, placing a part of the district in No. 1, and removing the old school-house to the centre of the new district will save the issuing of new bonds covering the same territory, and was understood to give general satisfaction. The city council will bo asked to grant a yearly license to the Music Hall Association, instead of taxing each troupe that comes along. We believe this would be altogether proper, for several good reasons, among which are that the house is not owned by one individual for speculation, but by mauy whose chief purpose was to provide a suit able place for entertainments. The Hall is a great convenience as well as a credit to the city, and the Council will uot be blamed if they deal liberally with an association which has not sought and which does not seek a merely private aud indi vidual gain. Oxford Chief is the name of the thoroughbred bull owned by J. E. Tasker & Bro. They received his pedigree the other day. He was bred by John Dice, Wilton, Iowa. He is only three removes from the Duke of Airdric, one of the best strains ever brought to this country. The eastward-bound passenger train last Friday was two hours late, on account of the heavy snow storm west. J. C. Henry, who was on the train said that where he boarded it, the snow was three feet deep. "We are not in tho habit of bet ting, but we would lay a small wager that we have the handsomest aud strongest wind-mill tower in the county, built by Ole Olcson. To Whom it may Concern.
