A Nebraska Avenue druggist is chargeable with the following: "What term in music is represented by two pints of 'consumed' straw berries?" H. D. Coan has bad considerable sickness in his family lately. Minnie and Alvin have had the scarlet fever, and on Saturday Charles was tho't to be taking it. Joe Tiffany camo up last week smiling all over and banded us a fifteen cent cigar. He said there was a new arrival up at their house. There's nothing small about Joe.

We should think rather early for going on to the road, but still they come. :" " Byron Millett stood up last Sun day just a few minutes, for the first time in two weeks. He is 3mprov ing rapidly under the skillful man agement of Dr. E. L. Siggius, who has been untiring in his attentions during bis illness.

He has "takeu" 1G0 acres of land And was getting oat clapboards for his house. He promises to write a letter concerning the climate and productions. In laying out roads reference should always be bad to the con venience of the traveling public, and not altogether to the whims of the land owner, for instance: a road should not cross gulches, in miry places and the like, when a good location can be had. Messrs. Smith & Friedhoff have dissolved partnership. Mr. Fried hoff, accompanied by his wife, start ed for New York Thursday last. She will vjsit friends at her old home, while Mr. Friedhoff goes to the metropolis for a large stock of Barney Bcverslock, at last, put in an appearance Thursday, look ing exceedingly well. He says he had lots of fun, but that he wouldn't live in Ohio if he got paid for it. His wife will come to Columbus just as soon as he gets his house completed. Tho Cleveland Leader, in speak ing of Prof. Wilber's lecture on Genesis and Geology, says: "The speaker is a master of the subject, to which he has evidently given thor ough and honest investigation. He speaks in a clear, distinct, scholarly and emphatic manner, like a man of deep convictions. "L." sends us the following as his figuring of the stock problem: "1 cow in ten years, aDd her de scendauts every two years would produce CO head, and the cow would make 61 head in ten years. At 3 years old they would produce 47 head and the cow would make 48 head in ten years." The lecture on the Horrors of Andersouville Thursday eveniug by Paul Vandervoort was not very largely attended. The subject is such as not to be a source of amuse ment, the details being too sicken ing to speak of. The Columbus audience desires amusement as well as instruction. The lecture was good. Fred. Blasser has the carpenter contract for Geo. Henggler's now brick house, which is to be erected next season, about one-half mile from Frauz Henggler's dwelling. The main part of tho building is to be 16x30 ft., the kitchen, 16x18 ft., the walls 14 ft. high. The plan shows a fino looking dwelling house. J. H. Drake, G. A. Hamilton, J. W. Bishop, J. L. Merriam, Horace Thompson, A. II. Wilder, C. II. Bigelow, II. H. Sibley and J. Sprinc are the corporators of the Sioux City & Nebraska R. R. Co. The stock is limited to $6,000,000. Ouo of the lines projected runs through Wayne, 'Stanton, Madison and Platte coun ties to Columbus. Rev. J. C. Evans will start this week for Pennsylvania to take charge of a company of persons who are ready to come west; they will be provided with first-class accom modations, while the fare -will not exceed emigrant rates. He expects to return with the party about March 18th. In the mean time his address will be New Brighton, Bea ver county, Pa. Mr. P.Glickof Tiffin, Ohio,who has largo cattle interests in Holt county, Is about to make Columbus his headquarters, ne will be hero next week to make arrangements for a stable to "stow away" his trotters, of which he has three, and all good ones. Frank Robs, his trainer is an "old timer" on the turf, aud when he gets them set.tled away to business, it takes a Rams to head him on". Monitor Lodge K. of H. are considering the propriety of estab lishing a lodge of Knights & Ladies of Honor, called the degree of pro tection, similar. ia its nature to the Eastern Star degree In Masonry and tbe Rebeka degree of Oddfellow ship. Besides the principles of help in time of need and trooble, there is a system of life insurance connec ted with the order, and there is no doubt but that the institution of the degree of protection would greatly benefit the order in this commun ity. We hear of a man representing himself in the northern part of this county as Walter Craig, the owner of the Township Farm in Stanton county. Those who are familiar with Wat. will be surprised to learn that he is a man 74 years of age, of Swedish birth ; one finger partly cut off; uuder the medium height ; has a brother's son living near Schuyler, etc. This man, whoever he is, talks of grand improvements on tho Township ; of opening a large farm in each corner of it, and stocking tho 36 sections heavily with sheep and cattle, etc. The ball given by the Hook and Ladder Co. Monday night was a decided success in every particular. There were about sixty maskers iu various costumes, representing nu merous characters to the life. We were not able to obtain a complete list; of the funny people, and it would 'scarcely be" proper to dis criminate by particularizing some of the brave and gallant knights aud sbmo of the fair and lovely ladies ; suffice to say that all were apparent ly highly pleased with the amuse ments and that nothing occurred to mar the harmony of the occasion. The Co. will realize nearly half a hundred dollars as proceeds. . On Monday evening last Mr. and Mrs. R. H. Henry gave a private party at their new residence on Olive street, which was attended by a number of their relatives and mar ried acquaintances, the occasion be ing the tenth anniversary of their wedding. The party was said to be very enjoyable, and passed ofTto the eminent satisfaction of all present ; refreshments were served, all were made to feel at home, and from all reports a good time was had gener ally. The presents of tinware were quite numerous, among which was an elaborate tin trumpet, of which the worthy Chief of the fire depart ment seemed to feel very proud. The general wish of their numerous friends being that they may live to Our Ienver Letter. February 22d, 1880. Ed. Journal: L do not know as I cau write anything that will be new to many of your readers, but will try aud give them some facts about the country and climate. I left Columbus on the 1st inst., arriv ed in Denver on the 4th, stopping on my way at Golden. We have had but two snows as yet, the weath er for the most part being pleasant, with very little or no wind. Snow stays but a day or two, but can see plenty on the Mountains, and I am told by old residents that it can be ... t seen there ail summer. L.ongs Peak, Pike's Peak and many other notable peaks and passes can be seen from here, and they can justly be comprehended only by being seen. The mountains here are not thickly timbered, as I had supposed, but on the contrary,-are for the most part auite bare, only occasionally what look like scrubs are to bo seen, yet I am told that timber abounds farth er to the west and south, and I know this must be the case, as the native timber is sold for about the same price as Wisconsin or Michi gan lumber does with you. Yet lumber that comes from that country and which is used exclusively for finishing brings more than double. The native lumber is pitch pine, and the trees which are planted for beau tifying the public streets and private lots are cottonwood, with now and then evergreens and fruit, which in all cases have to bo irrigated to thrive. The nights are cold and chilly ; ono can work out of doors in shirt sleeves during the day, but when night comes ho needs vest, coat and overcoat, and all well but toned. I am also told that in sum mer the nights are always cold, with nono as sultry and hot as we often experience in Nebraska. Notable among tho many improve ments now goiug on are the Wind sor House, a fivo story hotel, with gtono front, to contain three hun dred rooms. This is being built by an English firm, and commenced with a capital of $250,000, and it is now ostimateu mat it win taKe $50,000 more to completo it as de signed. There are many other very fino buildings goiug fast to comple tion of which I lack time to describe. Among those which arc to be built are the Government post office and a largo union depot. Notable among the lecturers it has been my lot to listen to in Denver woro Brick Pomeroy, formerly of the LaCrosse Democrat, and Prof. O. S. Fowler of Phrenological fame of New York City. With regards to all, B. E. Rooers. Importnat to IBorwe Owner. We have it from a reliable source that in the western part of this county there has a disease called the Texas itch broke out atnoug horses ; that several have already died, through its effects; that it is very contagious, etc. Our informant says that he knows of persons who are determined to enforce the law in such cases unless those having these diseased horses are more careful hereafter in keeping them away from places of public resort. The owner of an animal afflicted with a contagious disease can readily see that he has no right to put in jeopardy the property of others, for he has no right to inflict an injury upon them, and the law, if appealed to, will fully protect them. We call the attention of those interested to Sections 76 and 77 of the criminal code of the State, wherein the fine is laid down at not less tbau $50 nor more than $500, or imprisonment 10 to 50 days. We may add for the information of those who may not be acquainted with the nature of the disease that it is similar to the itch in man and the scab in sheep, aud can probably be cured by the same remedies as are applied for those diseases such as turpentine, coal -oil, tobacco juice, etc. Post Office Faa. A letter from some foreign coun try, addressed Carl Brantley's, Ko lombus, America, h going the rounds iu tho following manucr: Columbus, O., Feb. 9. Pass it around, please. Columbus, Ind., Feb. 13. Tisn't ours. Here it goes. Frank, Clerk. Columbus, Ks., Feb. 19. Give it up. Next one try it, please. Birdie McDowLL,Clerk. Columbus, Neb., Feb. 18. Ouce more out in the cold world. We know dot veller not. E. C. Hock., Clerk. And it takes its way to Columbus, Nev. If Mr. Brandey's lives in any Eolumbus in the United States that letter will smell 'him out yet. At the meeting of the City Council on Saturday evening an or dinance was passed giving the Lin coln & Northwestern R. R. Co. the right of way on 13th street as far west as the block east of Becker's grocery and south of John Huber's; also an outlet north on II. street; or any street east of that; besides this they are privileged to use the alley south of Becker's, as far west as N. streot. Thoy have 30 feet of 13th streot, as far as they go, and arc to purchase all the property over which the' run, and pay any dama ges that may accrue to adjacent property. As comparatively few peoplo know the streets by name, we will state that those running east and west arc numbered from the southern limit of the city and those running north and south are lettered from the eastern limit. Thirteenth is the street on which aro located the Engine House, Marshall Smith's block, &c. ; "II" is two streets east of the Court House; "N" is the street running north and south be tween Gluck's new buildiug and Greisen's store. The depot grounds will probably be across the street cast from Becker's grocery, south of John Huber's residence, north of and across tho U. P. track from Charles Schroeder'8 Foundry. We believo that the action of the Council in this connection will receive the entire approbation of this community. The problem of finding a place nearest to the U. P. depot yet readily accessi ble and least damaging to property, we believe has been satisfactorily solved. Roll or Honor, Dlt.

The book is well written, profusely il lustrated and contains 251 pages of incidents and facts in tho life of Gen. Grant, and 599 pages give full and details of his travels. The book is printed in very nico clear type and well bound. It should be read by every American citizen and ev ery Platte county family can procure a copy by applying to C. L. McClure at Doland's drug-store. The story of a change in the A. & N. management, says the Atchi son Globe, looks improbably, for several reasons. It has never paid until the past two years, and their extension gives it facilities for mak ing money never before enjoyed. This year's business, during the first of the dull months, was more than double that of last year. This fact we get from Col.Towne himself, and there is every reason to believe that this increase will be continued dur ing the year. Lincoln Journal. Robe Feaad. Near Keatskatoos P. O. Saturday, Feb. 7. Inquire of John Hammer, of Monroe precinct; address Genoa For the Journal. Mb. Editor: Since you publish ed the statement of the National Live Stock Journal in regard to the sale of that $10,000 yearling heifer of the Airdrie blood, I find a still more remarkable account of an ani mal of that strain of blood in the American Agriculturist for Janu ary, No.3G; that journal says: "The 10th Duchess of Airdrie, owned by Hon. Mat. Cochrane, is ono of the most remarkablo cows on record. She has just given birth to her ninth calf, 8lh Duchess of Hillhurst.' Of tho 10th Duchess and her daughters Mr. Cochrane has sold several ani mals at the price named. 4th Duke of Hillhurst, $7,000; 5th Duke of Hillhurst (2 months old) $8,000; Duchess 5th (8 months old) $18,000; Duchess 2d (cow) $21,000 ; Duchess 3d (heifer) $23,600; Gth Duchess of Hillhurst (heifer) $12,000; 3d Duch ess of H. (heifer) $21,500 a total of $131,600 for the eight animals. The 10th Duchess, Airdrio Duchess 4th, and the 7th Duke and 7th and 5th Duchesses are still in Mr. Coch rane's possession, valued at$HG,000. Grand total from the 10th Duchess of Airdrio $247,600. Not a small sum for one cow." I am of course interested in such facts as the strains of blood men tioned in both cases are united in our own thoroughbred bull, Baron Oxford 13435, as his warranted ped igree shows. As a curiosity, Mr. Editor, you will allow me to state in conclusion that we have this year's lambs weighing from 35 to 40 lbs. Yours respectfully, A. Hekrich. Feb. 10, 1880.
