Wc are told thai Chas. Miller,
Leonard Myers, Albert Rose and
Jos. Brownlow came vcrv near
losing heavily bj prairie lire Satur
day week, set out by new-comers.
Our informant says that he was once
a new-comer himself, and paid pret
ty dearly for his practical knowledge
in setting out prairie fires. AH the
men mentioned above were at home
and fought the fire with deter
minnation, otherwise their losses
might have been ruinous."
Chas., son of S. O. Raymond,
aged seven years, met with an al
most fatal accident on Wednesday
last. Tho housemaid threw a kettle
of hot water out at the door ot the
kitchen, not seeing Charley who re
ceived the contents on his chest,
fearfully scalding his neck and
breast. Remedies were applied and
he was soon relieved of pain, but a
a fever set in which proved in a few
hours to be scarlet fever, iu mild
form. The alllictcd family have tho
sympathy of all their acquaintances.
Robt. Curran of Poik county
was in the city Saturday. He fells
us that the account of losses by fire
recently published in the Osceola
Record and copied into the Journal,
in which he is mentioned as respon
sible for losses, does him great
injustice. He tells us that the farm,
on which the fire, said to have done
the damage, originated, is not iu his
possession, but rented to another
mau ; and further that the fire start
ed on that place was put out before
any damage was done, the losses
occurring through an other fire set
out for protection.
Thos? Shea tells us that withiu'
the last two months, in a neighbor
hood near him, aud withiu a radius
of three-fourths of a mile, there
have been seven deaths by dipthcria
or some kindred disease: first, Den
nis Reagan lost a daughter twelve
years old; next, John M. Guiuu, a
son five years old ; on the same day,
there was a funeral from the house
of McGuiuns'6neighbor,David Mur
phy, a child five years old ; then
Patrick Murphy's son Win., eleven
years old ; last of all was Pat. Kear
ney's son, ten years old. Since
writing the above wc learn that Mr.
Kearney buried a daughter, six
years old on Tuesday last, and on
the following day Thos. Blandford,
a son five years old, and Gerhard
Cronindaht a daughter five years
old.
Two Boone Co. men unknown to
each other, were on the Reservation
for wood. One was successful, and
was going home with a big load on
his wagon. The other aficrhunting
all day long was not successful, and
the sight of the big load of his un
known fellow citizen sharpened his
wits and excited his cupidity. Un
harnessing ouc of his horses aud
thowing a blanket over himself he
rode up to the Boone county strang
er, took out a book, and with a
pencil in his hand, "Your name, sir,"
he said. "Oh, never mind the
uame," said the frightened wood
gatherer, "I'll drop the load," which
he proceeded to do. After he was
out of sight, the whilom United
States special for the detection of
wood thieves, loaded the wood on
his owu wagon and took it home.
In Boone county they attach names
to this story. We, however, know
neither the men uor the names, and
take any interest at all in the matter
only that wc may transmit to future
ages some of the prevalent customs

was made a few weeks ago in tho
Jouisnal") iu favor of the Union
Pacific R. R. Co., the substance of

The question-drawer for last Sat
urday evening contained the follow
ing queries.
1. When is the best time to plant
corn ? Does a day or two make any
difference? How can we apply here
the old eastern rule, Plant corn
when tho oak leaf is as largo as a
squirrel's ear?
2. Will it pay to sell butter at 7
to 10 cents a pound ?
3. Will the Club recommend the
use of lightning rods?
4. Will it probably pay to raiec
plenty of hogs this year?
5. Will it pay us to harvest our
corn 6talks?
G. Would it pay to use rock salt
instead of the common kind for
stock?

M. Reagan said that in Pennsyl
vania, where he used to live, their
custom was from the last week in
April to the loth of May ; after that
they considered it out of season ; iu
Illinois, from the 10th to the 15th of
May ; here he regarded the best
time from May 10th to 20th. In
Illinois he had once planted as late
as June 1st, on account of wet wea
ther, had two teams in hi field
during harvest, and it was the larg
est crop he ever raised. Early
cropping with us is a good deal
belter than late. If planted late,
with extra culture and a late fall, a
reasonable crop might be had, but
the frost was apt to catch it. Two
days difference in planting would
often make a difference of ten bush
els to the acre.
A. II. Gibson knew of instances
where earl)- planting was not the
best. The ground should be thor
oughly warm. If corn is put iu
before settled warm weather comes,
and gets a start, and then a cold
"spell" comes, the corn is apt to be
set back, iu which case the later
planting is better. He would not
select any certain day of the mouth,
but would be guided by the weather
and the temperature of the soil. He
would plant here as carlv as the 25th
of April if the ground was warm
enough.
J. H. Reed regarded early plant
ing as the best. If a few acres only
were to bo put in, a man could select
his own time, but where his help is
limited he must begin somewhat
earlier, but not before the ground is
thoroughly warm. He would not
fix upon a particular day of the
month, but would depend upon the
indications of vegetation. He would
like to have accurate information
upon tho subject.
James Russell said ho had planted
on the 25th of April, snow flying
briskly, and it was the best crop of
corn he ever raised in the State. He
had planted as late as the first day
of June, on account of wet ground,
cultivated both ways, but the frost
found it immature.
The remainder of the proceedings
are deferred for lack of space.
..
Tho scraping machine which has
been at work several days on the
railroad track west of the city is
"worthy of admiration." Described
briefly, it is an engine with accom
panying flat car, connected by a
movable coupling rod. Huge arms
extend on either side of the track
from the flat-car, to which, with
chains aud pullics, plows or scrapers
can be attached. The engine moves
back and forth as needed, plowing
and scraping. Tho track between
the city and .the Loup bridge is
being elevated six inches. We
should judge that the machine, with
sovon men is able to do the work of
at lca3t three hundred men. Under
the supervision of Thos. Pcironnct
excellent work is being done.
The appearance of the Columbus
Dramatic Society in " Out in the
Streets" and " Family Jars" at the
Opera House last evening was greet
ed with a house crowded to its
utmost capacity. The play was, to
our notion, the best that has yet
been put upon the boards by the
Club. Many of the characters were
excellently rendered, the play as a
whole being well presented. The
farce, " Family Jars," consisted of a
good plot and characters and was
well received by the audience.

"Mud, mud, mud" is the cry in
