It is announced from Boston that tho A. & N. has been leased to the B. & M. in Nebraska, and this to the C. B. & Q., which is regarded as one of the strongest corporations in the west. From the manner in which re newals and new subscriptions arc pouring into the Journal offico we arc more than ever convinced that Platte county kuows how to appre ciate home work. R. B.

JThc funeral took place from .the Congregational church Monday afternoon.. ; From the reading of several of our exchanges one would imagine that Messrs. Jaeggi & Schupbach were going to withdraw from the lumber busines thi9 city. Such is not the case, ihey are thinking of establishing a branch business at Albion. Mr. George A. Armstrong, an insurance agent and an old-time friend of D. C. McGill's, spent a couple of days in the city last week, and took the west-bouud express Sunday. Ho is a No. 1 young iyn and will make hosts of friends wherever he goes. We understand that the Volks blalt has said that Mr. Kummer, ex trcasurer of Platte county is "short" iu his accounts with the county. We are informed that the settlement with him was entirely satisfactory, and that the county will lose nothing by her old treasurer. Capt. D. D. Wadsworth tolls us that the L. & N. W. track was at Bellwood Saturday last, aud that it was expected to reach the river by Mouday evening, tho force not stop ping for Sunday. In a very short timo now we expect to announce the arrival of trains from the south, iuto our city. faI am strongly inclined to think Jhat your Correspondent "Equality" must have had an attack of Strabis mus on his journoy up the Loupo which so affected bis visual organs that he did not see things straight; perhaps if he comes this way again I may prove it to him." That's right, Geo. Go for him. J. R. Smith writes from Milan, 111., stating that they have very wet woather there, and that the roads aro almost impassablo. He intend ed to take tho Journal after he got hero, and concludes he might as well have it now. Here it is, Mr. Smith, and a hearty welcome to you and yours when you get hero. A gentleman who wishos to en gage in tho cattle business would like an answer to the following question, as he thinks he will be able to provide such a start : What would be the number of a herd pro duced from 100 yearling heifers in six years, provided they bear at tho ago qMwo years, and Bteera are ex changed for heifers. In a notice of a "Musical soiree" recently at Brownoll Hall, the Om aha Republican pays a neat compliment-to a good Columbus girl in these words : "The Birds Awaken ing," a vocal trio by Misses North, Trabing and Maxwell, was executed it) a praiseworthy manner. Miss Rose North sang a solo, "Farewell." Miss North has a very sweet voice, and her selection was well adap ted to its compass.

"The patent plate man left on this morning's train," says the last Era, but he loft several patent-plate men in Columbus, judging by the appearance of our Democratic co temporaries, whose cost of composi tion on the better half of their papers is only about $2 a week, and tends so far to build up the town where their "patont-plateij" arc manufactured, instead of the town in which they themselves "live, move and have their being.'' Next Saturday evening at seven o'clock (see notice) the annual meet ing of the stockholders of the Music Hall Association takes place. There ought to be, what there has not been for several years, a full attendance. The affairs of tbc association have been in excellent hands, and have been carefully and scrupulously managed, but, if there is any good way to get at it, somo needed im provements ought to be made soon in tho fixtures of tbc ball. Wm. Tompkins visited Nance county last week, seeking a location. The Loup valley is being settled yery rapidly. We learn from him that there is a probability that the law, may be so changed that pur chasers of reservation land can buy as small a tract as eighty acres. This would certainly bo a good provision to secure a greater number of set tlers, and also mako quicker sale of the land. Mr. Tompkins says Full erton has about thirty houses, and that the B. & M. is expected to reach that point by the 1st of July. Monday was ground-hog day throughout the United States, but whether" Nebraska is in the United States for ground-hog day is some what doubtful to us, as we havo never had the pleasure of seeing any of tho animals in the state. But if tho rule holds good in regulating the .weather without tho animal, cer- taiuly Monday, if he had come out of his warm earth-house at sunrise ho could -have distinctly seen his shadow and would have as certainly gone back to his cosy quarters for six or eight weeks more of winter weather. F.M.Gardner returned to Silver Creek Monday of last week from Miser, Col., where he has been with his family for eleven months past. On the 27th of December last he lost, by diphtheria, his daughter Eva May, aged four years. At tho place whero Mr. G. has been at work as a railroad employe, scarcely any vegetation grows; tho water is very strongly impregnated with alkali, and is very injurious to health. Mi9er is about 80 miles from the Ute reservation. Mr. Gardner says he has lived iu Nebraska about seven teen years, and he has come back now to stay. AstMiult. A case before Justice Millett on Friday last created considerable in terest. The complaining witness, David Davis, charged tho defendant, David Thomas, with assault and battery, and said that he went on horseback to Eee Thomas about his (T's) hogs trespassing upon his premises; that Thomas hit him with a barrel stave on his face and hands ; that he either fell off his horse or was knocked oil", when he picked up the stave, and made for Thomas, who called for his shot gun and shot at him. Wo are informed that Mr. Thomas says in regard to the shooting that it was done merely to frighten Davis, that the gun was loaded with fiue shot, the distance between them at the time was 125 paces, and the gun was aimed at the ground.. Davis claimed the shot hit his pants. The jury, Henry Woods, Henry Lubker, A. M. Jennings, and D. A. Lord, failed to agree, and a second trial is appointed for to-day at 9 A. M. Itloaroe. Mrs. Dykes's sale was well attend ed, aud good prices realized. Mr. Pepper moves to Columbus tho middle of February, aud Mr. Smith of Illinois takes his place on the farm. Problem. What is the difference in the depth of two wells, a stone dropped in each well at tho same time reaching the bottom of one iu two seconds, the other in four sec onds.

Richland Itein. Editor Journal: As wc have not seen any letters from your form er correspondent, Trebor Enyap, wo send you a few gleanings, hoping they will prove acceptable. There has been some sickness of late in the neighboihood, but at present writing health is improving. We know from letters lately re ceived, that while Nebraskans have been enjoying fiue weather and splendid roads our eastern friends have been wading through mud with almost incessant rain, and roads nearly impassable. We have Literary aud Debating Society at the Ekleberry school house every Friday night. The peo ple evince quite a lively interest; there has been good attendance, and all seem to think it a pleasant way of spending a social evening, thereby combining amusement with instruc tion. Our school is also quite a suc cess this winter under the manage ment of our very efficient teacher Mr. Joyce. Our friend and neighbor Mr. Eley has sold his farm, and wo hear in tends moving back east. Sorry to lose them, but hope the change will prove beneficial to them. Our usually quiet little burg, Richland, is endeavoring to become more noticeable by adding another saloon to its other attractions. Faiki-lav. -- Dentistry.

Lowest temperature attained during January, 189. 20 ; Lowest do Jauuary, 1850, 2 ; that though the weather has been more moderate than last year yet the difference in the extremes was 30 degrees more at that time than this. Communicated. Hill Side Farm, Feb. 2, '80. Mr. Editor: Will some one bo so kind as to explain through your paper, why it is that tho people of Columbus are more ready to aid tho poor of Ireland, than the poor col ored poople of our neighbor state? Ada Westcott. We might givo several reasons: first, no organized effort has been made here for the negroes ; second, tho Irish arc of tho same raco of poople, and suffering among them is more like distress among one's own kindred or family, there are but few negroes here ; third, tho almost universal answer would be the Irish arc a better people and their needs greater. Others might give our fair correspondent a better answer.
