ders' residence six tulles oast of this

the things stolen were 2 silver
watches, ono with gold chain and
Malteso cross, the other, a hunter's
case with Mr.,Saunders' name, and
square and compass, and a revolver.
At last accounts, the thief, a tramp,
had not-been apprehended.
Dr. C. R. Stevens, of whom we
made mention in the last Journal
as coming to locate in our city, loft
for some newer placo west Saturday
evening. The doctor thought that
it would tako a long time to work
into a practice here where so many
good physicians were established, or
at any rale' longer than he could
aflbrd to wait, although ho was fav
orably impressed with Columbus.
At a meeting of Columbus En
gine (5o. No. 1 Monday evening the

Newmau ; Financial Sec'y., Gus.
Lockncr.
Mr. Peabody, the phrenologist,
who was examiuing the heads of
many of our citizens last week, made
some very peculiar hits. We learn
that he made Judge Higgins out to
be a fit man for nothing much, Geo
Ilincs to be a very dangerous man
but afterwards re-examined Mr.
Hines' head and told a flattering
story about him ; said that Mr.
Lynch, of the firm of Lynch & Hays
did not kuow enough to tell a lie,
and that Will. Lawrence was no
lady's man, and could not play a
game of billiards.
We must be allowed to congrat
ulate our Eleventh St. Bourbon co
temporary upon the improved tone
of its so-called political editorials.
As to the local management, too, of
that paper, we notice a very marked
improvement since a brother editor
was most shamefully berated a few
weeks siucc, aud answered by silent
contempt. We aro yet iu hope of
bringing our cotemporary up to a
higher standard iu journalism than
envy, jealousy and abuse of its co
temporaries. We have undertaken
the task solely in the interests of the
community iu which the Journal is
published. If this be "senile self
conceit," we can not help it. Tho
christian statesman and scholar of
the Bourbon will, in the sweet bye-and-bye,
be thankful for oflr efforts,
and be better ablo to appreciate the
purity of our motives.
The Moi.-l Coast.
The following interesting letter
from Alfred Woods, now on the
Pacific coast, to his brother Henry
of this city, was handed us for pub
lication :
Portland, Oregon, Dec. 28, '79.
Dear Brother : Having just ar
rived in Portland, I will write again
from this place. We did not stop
at San Francisco at all, only to go
from the ferry to the wharf, where
we took the "George W. Elder" for
this city. We had a hard time on
wthe ocean, laying out to sea all night,
and ridiug the waves the next morn
ing. You ought to have seen us
eating breakfast. The boat rocked
so that it threw all the dishes on the
hanging table into tho faces of the
passengers, and on their clothes. It
threw me into a big coil of rope
head first, and everybody yelled
"New York." Nearly every one
aboard was sick, and I had a terrible
headache. We saw sea-lions, aud
other monstrous things. Tho Co
lumbia river is frozen up, but nearly
everybody's prophecy is that by the
30lh it will be open again. At this
writing everything is wet, tho tops
of the houses covered with moss. I
took a cold whilo en routo from
Oakland to tho ferry to 'Frisco, by
holding my head out of tho window
with no hat on. Sau Francisco is
not a very nice city. It has stone
pavements, and old buildings and
sidewalks. But the store doors are
all standing wido open, aud lots of
vegetables in the market. It was
indeed grand coming down from the
snow -covered mountains into the
green valley where vegetables are
growing aud everything spring-like.
The snow was five feet deep in
places iu tho mountains, aud we
were snowed in four hours. Wo
wore traveling a half a day in a
snow -shed. We passed through
several gold mines in the Sierra
Nevada mountains. Barber shops
aro numerous here, 15 and 25 cts. a
shave, and two men in a shop. They
go by "bits" out here. Everything
costs a "bit." I played a game of
billiards, and that cost two "bits."
Tho clerk iu making chango said
ho gave mo four "bits" and a short
"bit." There is lots of timber here.
Nearly all pine and hemlock. Tho
soldiers that passed through Colum
bus the Saturday before wo started
were ou the samo boat with us.
This city has a population of from
10,000 to 13,000, 1 think. This is all
this time. Your brother,
Alfred Woods.

For the .JOURNAL.
Tempcraiiec.
Ed. Journal : The prime movers
in this causo in Columbus arc well
known, and I am sorry to see so
wide a chasm between them. There
are undoubtedly two distinct fac
tions here, the church temperance
and the anti-church faction. I have
respect for both parties and would
like to sec them work together har
moniously for the common cause.
We all disngree on points of relig
ious doctrine, while on the general
bearing of the great temperance
question we are nearly all united.
Our citizens should meet in perfect
freedom, irrespective of religious
belief, aud work with heart and
soul in this great work, if wo wish
to achieve a victory in our young
city, but so long as there is not a
united action our ends will not be
accomplished. All that is good aud
pure and holy, yes and divine is un
folded iu the banner of temperance,
aud under this glorious streamer no
distinction is known, aud no creed
observed. The motto is "Work
This moans to put your hands into
your pocket-books, and zealously
labor for an end. And what is that
end? To labor on and on till the
manufacture and sale of intoxicating
drinks is made a crime before the
law. If it does not come iu our
generation it may in the next. Let
us live up to the teachings of this
motto, or else withdraw from the
ranks. Some good will constantly
attend our labors, and it must be a
pleasure in the sight of heaven to
see this work of reform going on.
If we could only realize the danger
in drinking at all, and the pain in the
hearts of the mothers and wives say
not only of those who have druukeu
sons and husbands but of the tipplers
and occasional drinkers, I am sure
our labors would be uuited, aud wo
would shake hands across the chasm
that separates us, and work aud pray
until victory would ring out and
pcaco and happiness reign in fami
lies of poverty, misery and shame.
Union.

A letter from Patrou, Jauuary" 9th,
6ays:
"On looking over the Journal 1
see the statement that 'Jas. Bell, the
bauker of David City, is laying out
a new town on the line of tho A. &
N. near Warren's grove which is a
slight mistake. The new town is
on the section owned by Jesse D.
Bell, formerly a merchant of Wood
hull, 111., but who with his family
now resides on his land. His house
is on that part of the section lying
just across the road from Warren's,
but the town is on the eastern side,
just in front of Chas. Derby's and
R. B. Finch's. The plat consists of
sixty acres, the survey of which is
now completed. Owing to the im
portunities of the R. R. Co., who
clamored, for the name of Plattc,and
that of frieuds and relatives, who
suggested the names of Savannah,
Patron aud Peppervillc, Mr. and
Mrs. Bell washed thoir hands of the
whole aflair by leaving it to me,
when I came rather uuwilliugly to
the rescuo, and called it Bellwood.
It will soon be made appareut that
Bellwood will bo au appropriate
name, inasmuch as Mr. B. takes a
lively interest in tree growing and
has a great many young evergreens
started, besides quite a variety of
deciduous trees that he has obtained
from uurseries in Illinois, Indiana
and Pennsylvania. Ho is sending
for large bills of trees for tho coming
spring. He is a man who under
stands his business, and has capital
to carry out his plans. I wish Ne
braska had more such men.
Yours respectfully,
Mrs. Mary B. Finch.
History ofiebraUa.
Hon. Harrison Johnson, a farmer
residing near Omaha, has completed
a history of Nebraska to date, and a
few advance copies have been pub
lished. It is a good sized volume of
near six hundred pages, well filled
with solid information concerning
Nebraska interests, her topography,
climate, soil, productions, rainfall,
temperature, water supply, educa
tional advantages and prospects, ro
ligious privileges, railway advanta
ges, and market facilities, besides
an account in brief of the struggles
of the early settlers, aud its organi
zation as a state of the Union. Along
with those the work embraces a full
aud compteto description of every
county, city and town iu the State
and the territory, from which it was
organized, from 1803 up to date.
The "introduction" is a fine piece of
writing, well worthy the theme.
The work should be in the library
of every family in the State as de
monstrating that " nothing iu this
ago of wonders is so wonderful as
this western civilization that is
measuring a score of milea evory
year into the unbroken wilderness,
and making it literally bud aud
blossom as the rose.'" Nebraskans
should be thoroughly informed on
Nebraska, and we know of no bettor
source of information than Mr.Johu
son's excellent book.

I have 28 pupils, all of whom are
very regular in attendance. Mr.
Flynn, one of the school board,
makes it his business to call at the
school quite often, thereby showing
that he hae an interest in the cause
of education, and- impresses upon
the minds of his children the neces
sity of punctuality. Would that the
rest of the parents had the same
thoughts.

About four months ago Samuel
Li 1 ley, a young man living near
Patron, Butler county, while feeding
a threshing machine, felt something
fly into his mouth from the cylinder,
lodging' in the eidc of the throat. It
gave him no particular inconven
ience until it commenced to work
downward, Anally lodging at the
side of the esophagus near the collar
bone, where a large abscess formed
beneath the main arteries of the
neck. He was lyiug very low on
Saturday, but we understand that
on Sunday Dr. Bonesteel operated
greatly to tho relief of the patient,
aud thcro is now a prospect of his
recovery.
