Burgess of the Genoa Leader called at his old "stamping ground" Thursday last. He looked as though he had been living on tho fat of the land and ho deserves it. The Era says there is a scandal and a red hot sensation on the wing. We have not heard of any such thing, and aro inclined to doubt the Era's authority for any Buch state ment. Tho Wood machines, reapers and mowers combined, mowers, harvesters and binders will be for sale at R. II. Henry's old stand, cor ner of Olive and 11th streets, by W. P. Schmidt.

Henry Clayburn called on ub Friday on business. Being called out on farming, here and in Merry Old England, he gave us an elo quent, glowing description of agri culture in his nativo land. The Journal is turning out a large amount of job-work. O. H. Archer, who has, perhaps, no supe rior in the State in his line, is at the bead of the department, and we guarantee entire satisfaction. More attention than usual is being paid to seed wheat ; farmers are fully aware of the importance of excellent varieties, good quality and clean 6ced, and will, as usual, do their best to secure these points. H. P. Bower & Co., having in charge the agency for the Buckeye machinery, have secured a full line and are now open for business. Par ties wishingjiBything in the machine line will do well to call and sec them. Call ou material. i We acknowledge receipt of tickets to a musical convention at Fremont, March 23d, conducted by Prof. J. II. Bnnn. Mrs. D. C. Kavauaugh has been seriously ill for come time back. On Sunday last Dr. Coffman of Omaha was called in consultation, and we are. informed that hopes are enter tained ofher recovery. A. B. Dewey, Esq., son of Chauncey Dewey, recently deceased, of Cadiz, Ohio, gave Columbus a flying visit Monday. He was look ing in excellent health, and was very favorably impressed with Nebraska. It. B. Mclntire has left us a churn-dasher of bis manufacture that looks as though it would do its work first-rate. We will use it and report, for the benefit of the many churners of Ceutral Nebras ka. M. Kramer's family expect to remove to Chicago tho last of this week or the first of next. M. K. is the purchaser for five different es tablishments, and this requires him to be iu Chicago a good portion of his time. AtJLhe Congregational Church instead of the regular sociable, there will be given an entertainment, entitled Mrs. Jarley's Wax-works, Weduesday evening, to which all invited. Admission: adults 15 cts; children 10 cts. Isaac Linley, Esq., who has been in Columbus for several months past returns to Marion, Ky. It must be acknowledged that this is uot a good country for lawyers, and Mr. L. didn't havo the patience to wait. Success to him. Miss Alice Clark who was with Celeste, ihc child planist,was recent ly married to Thos. Warhurst, Blind Tom's agent. We can now under stand why Mr. W. took such an interest in recommending the Celes te combination. What do the boys call a man that oilers to bet and fails to "put up" as they call it. We have forgot, but we refer to that chap that owns a herd of dogs, a fow trotting horses, and occasionally wears a corduroy suit. We are after him. We are under many obligations to Joslah Moody of Alma, Nob., for encouraging words, besides that substantial aid and comfort which has a strong tendency to gladden the heart of the printer and lift the load of care from his shoulders. "Farmer" wants to know, thro' the columns of the Journal, what has become of the committee ap pointed" to investigate the affairs of the county treasury, where their re port is, and why the same has not been published for the benefit of tax-payers. E. J. Baker, of this city, left last Wednesday for a trip to Denver and other portions of Colorado. He expects to bo absent some timo. Mr. Bakor has for a number of years applied himself very closely to bus iness and doubtless needs rest and relaxation. A note from C. L. Hill, recently of this place, now sojourning in Minnesota, under date.of March 1st, says: "Wo are delighted with the country. Delightful scenery. At mosphere, clear, dry and cold. Snow about five inches deep, with good sleighing." Farmers, who aro thinking of investing in a riding plow, should examine McBride's sulky attach ment, on exhibition at A. W. Law renco's, before purchasiug. It is a splendid thing, can bo attached to any plow and costs comparatively little. Don't fail to sec it. A stock man, who says he knows, tells us that a bridle-bit in tho mouth of a cow, and fastened around the top of the head, will keep her from sucking herself. Those having such animals will be giaa to Know or a euro or the ex pensive aud offensive habit. The Rev. Saml. Goodale, Rector of Graco church, Columbus, would like to get by postal card the name and address of any members of the Protestant Episcopal church, or tbe church of England, residing in the counties of Butler and Polk. Papers of those couutics please copy. Jno. Martin returned Monday from Dcadwood. He reports times there as good. Dr. Kelly and Jos. Strothers are doing well the Dr. having a large practice, aud both of them havo considerable interest in mines. Mr. M. goes back in about three weeks, accompanied by bis family. The Burlington Eawkeye gives a sketch of the recent experience of Charlie Wundt in a snow storm on the Northern Pacific railroad. Some of the party walked ninety miles to Fargo. Their train of forty-eight cars and four engines was snowed in. Charlie is described as thin, having an ice-cream look. Fred. Blasser has the carponter contract for Geo. Henggler's new brick house, which is to be erected next season, about one-half mile from Franz Henggler's dwelling. The main part of tho building is to be 16x30 feet, the kitchen 16x18 feet, the wallB 14 feet high. The plan shows a fine looking dwelling house. Before Justice G. B. Bailey on Friday last Michael Langan was fined $5 and costs, and sentenced to ten days imprisonment in the coun ty jail, on complaint of D. F. Kelly for assault and battery. Among other things the evidence showed that Langan bad drawn a knife for the purpose of stabbing Kelly, but afterwards closed it and struck Kelly over the hefrd with it. Remember that a good Plow, is tho best Tool ou tho farm, and that tho John Deere Plow is undobtedly a good Plow, is known by every good farmer, only for sale by Rob ert Uhlig. Mr. J. G.Watson, of Avou,Rock county, Wisconsin, was in the city Tuesday, returning from a visit to Boone and other counties, on a tour of inspection with a view to locat ing. He left on the eastern bound train Tuesday for home. Dr. E. L. Siggins took a trip to Nance county last week. He sayB that Fullerton has tbe finest town site he ever saw, and is rapidly im proving in the way of buildings. County Clerk Reynolds, formerly of this place, ho says. ha3 the finest clerk's offico he ever saw, Brussels carpet, upholstered furniture, &c.,in fact a perfect parlor, which it really is. A communication to the Jour nal concerning a certain personal rencounter spoken of in last week's paper, reminds us to say that the Journal is not a court of investiga tion empowered to subpoena wit nesses to testify on oath as to tho truth or falsity of any charge, and, unless tho circumstances are moro than an ordiuary scramble, we never pay attention to them, except as a court reporter. Gus. Hellborn, tho fashionablo tailor of Columbus, desires it to be known that ho can uot be surpassed in giving a neat fit for gentlemen's wear, aud that he will not he under sold in price. Cheapor than the cheapest, better than the best, he has tho finest stock over brought to the city; you can see the cloth in the web, and know precisely what you are gettiug. Givo him a call, on Nebraska Avenue, one door north of tho Bank building. When you are around where there is a game of pool, billiards, or freeze-out going on, you want to be very careful and mako no remarks on tho game. A "tenderfoot" the other night was looking on a game, and made some remarks when "Dash"clovated his nose,"Grandma" run out his chin, and closed his left eyo, and old "Uncle Joe" just tipped his hat back a little aud they all took a long breath, looked at his "nibs" a minute, and all exclaimed in rather a loud tone, "If you want any of this game please procure some "chips." The same parties who were en gaged last year in "writing up" the several counties of the State are at it again. It is not out of the way for us to say that tho current weekly issue of tho four newspapers of Co lumbus does more good to build up the towu than all that was done by those men. If busiuess men desire to give the city an immigration "boom" let them subscribe for the Columbus papers by the hundred, when they see an article that suits them. This encourages the printer, and will have a much bettor effect than something that is known to be gotten up for an especial purpose. A gentleman is in tho city can vassing for Mark Twain's new book "A Tramp Abroad," being a gossipy record of the author's pedestrian tour through Germany and other parts of Europe during tho past two years. The American citizen, man or woman, who doesn't know of Mark Twain and bis inimitable humor is certaiuly worthy of com miseration, for he has failed to take advantage of one of tbe finest sour ces of amusement in our time. We prefer Mark to all tho other humor ists of this or any other age. There is a pungency, a suddenness and an extravagant naturalness about his "histories" that make them exceed ingly attractive What scientific statement, for instance, is more ex act thau that concerning the maneu vers of tbe Mexican Mustang and of the dog that tried to catch tbe coyote. We challenge the whole history of scientific investigation to produce a counterpart. Mark is an artistic observer and his likenesses of per sons and his pictures of events are so startlingly exact as to be recog nized by every way-faring man. That Beason of the year has come when the preambulating agent goes abroad in the laud, mainly to mako his living without work, and almost invariably to get a pretty large something for a pretty small nothing. We caution readers of the Journal against the whole tribe, under whatsoever pretext they assail you on your farms, or in your work-shops and offices. But particularly we wish to caution farmers against lightning-rod ped dlers that they don't know, and the oily chaps that take orders for goods. Don't have anything at all to do with them. Don't sign your name to any of their papers, and don't buy any of their wares. We could name a hundred people in this'and adjoining counties who have been beguiled, cheated, rob bed by these fellows, and the only absolutely safe rule is to have noth ing whatever to do with them. They are all very clever.all very smooth in speech, all seeming fair. LaBt summer's work in Nebraska was a rich harvest for these swindlers, and some of the tribe will doubt less be here again, with perhaps a new dodge or two. Tbe following paragraph from the Central City Courier is the first warning of the opening spring. There is as much inerenuitv shown in raseAlitv nn in virtue : O. P. Reed's Letter. Golden, Colo., Fob. 29th ,'80. Friend Journal: Please give this space for the benefit of thoso who want to como west. Golden is a city of 4,000 souls and there are four smelters, five coal banks in operation and sinking a shaft for oue more, one car shop, two foun dries, one fire-brick factory, one press-brick factory, one potter fac tory, four flouring mills, one paper mill, two good schools, six good large brick churches, and two rail roads, one more building. The wages of common laborers are from $2. to $2.50 per day ; mechanics from $2.50 to $4.00 per day aud nono are wanted unless they are good ones. Any kind of teams mako from four to six dollars per day, good teams and good men are wanted. All of this material has to bo hauled to and from the cars. There will be a glass factory started this summer. Prices of living: standard A sugar, 91bs for $1 ; extra C 9lbs ; light brown 10 to 122lb8 ; tomatoes three pouud cans, from 15 to 20 cts. per can ; coffee 25 cts. per pound ; flour $2.25 to $2.50 por sack, and it is better flour than we can get at Columbus; beefsteak, 8 to 15 cts. per pouud; pork 8 to 10 cts per pound ; board and lodging $5 to $7 per week, everything in the way of living is just as cheap as iu Columbua, with the exception of butter 20 to 25 cts. per lb; egga 15 cts per dozen ; corn $1.50; hay 20 dollars por ton. This is the way I see it. Somo may want to come. They had better stay thero until tho first or middle of April. These prices above don't include board. I expect to com mence work Tuesday at $2.25 per day. If I suit I will get moro. For the benefit of some of tho "sports" of Columbus that wanted me to tell them how thiugs are here, I would say that it is a better placo than there. I have seen boys "shove up" fifty dollars "blind." And the reas on I think it would bo a good place, it would get them away from Co lumbus. Hero, they would last about ono evening, and they would have to go to work. They don't board strangers ou hand-trunks and over-coats, for fear they don't belong to them. Besides they can get all the start they want here, and if they can, they get on the cars and go up into the moun tains,and you can't find them. I have visited J. A. Baker this morning, they were well aud so am I. Yourd, U. P. KEED. NewmuaN Grove. The fino weather of February took a violent cold on the morning of the 27th, and plowing aud wheat sow ing, already actively commenced, were suddenly suspended and the programme changed to mittens aud overcoats. Doc. Sanderson rejoiceth. It Is a daughter this time. John Sorenson tries Leadvllle. George Kuudson has returned from Wisconsin. He reports times good where he was. Emigration is lively, somo passing on farther west, and some stopping hero. Sickness still prevails. Diphthe ria has mostly abated and pneumo nia rages.

'Mrs. Goghau was one of our oldest settlers. Several others of her family havo beon very sick, but aro now improviug. To the Front. Editor Journal: In your issue of Feb. 25th a communication ap peared from A. Heinricb, in which the statement is made as follows : "As a curiosity, Mr. Editor, you will allow mo to state in conclusion that we havo this year's lambs weighing from 35 to 40 lbs." As a matter of interest to all sheep raisers, and many others who are preparing to introduco sheep into Platte county, I hope your corres pondent will Inform your readers, the breed of sheep from which these weighty lambs aro tho offspring. It may assist the inexperienced iu se lecting for their flocks. H. J. Hudson. Mr. Hoinrich is a public-spirited citizen, and will doubtless give the desired information, and we suggest besides, a few practical ideas from him on the general subject. : Platte Centre and Tielnity. Spring weather and spring trade. The merchants of our little "burg" are doing a fair business, and daily increasing their stock of goods. Wm. Bloedorn of Metz is at last fairly settled here, and the ring of his anvils indicate improvement in business, by the change of locality. The Wattsvillo Literary held its last meeting for the season, March 6th. The society has been a source of amusement and benefit to its members and audience for the past winter, and is now adjourned to the 1st Saturday in November. The Lost Creek school taught by Fred. Jewell of Illinois, closed Fri day March 5th. The afternoon was pleasantly passed by declamations and recitations frem tbe scholars, and addresses from the parents. A new and ingenious swindle is being practiced in the state on this wise: An individual signs a sim ple order lor goods. The "agent" takes the order, dampens it, and pulls off a thin sheet oftissue, cover ing every portion excepting the place for signature. Of course this leaves plenty of room above the name to write anything that may be desired. A Itleaa Thlnf. James Hutchinson, the blind man residing in Butlor co., met with a considerable loss last Sunduy week. Some man rode up to his place, sot fire to his grauaries and rodo off, making good his escape. Although Mr. and Mrs. II. were at home they were uot aware of the fire until after it was too late to save their granaries. The reason of this was that there were no windows north of tho house, the side on which tbe granaries were. Some of Mr. H's children with some of the neighbor children had been at play, and saw tbe man escaping on horseback. There were two corn cribs contain ing 700 bu. of corn, and a wheat bin, with 81 bu. of wheat, all with flax straw roofs, and nothing of them or contents was saved. Tho lumber alone was worth $105. There are some clues to tho villain who did the deed, which, if followed up, may lean to conviction. It is one of the boldest and meanest thiugs we havo beard of in a long while, and the blind man can illy bear tbe loss. Letter List.
