The snow storm of Thursday
and Friday of last week, which vis
ited this part of the state, was a
pleasant diversion compared with
the old-fashioned kind, that lasted
three days and nights, and was so
fine that one could not sec an object
a rod distant. "We think those days
long since past, will come again no
more, at least if our atmosphere
continues as moist as it is now.
H. F. Snider tells us of a remedy
which he gave to some sick hogs, to
their immediate relief and subse
quent cure.' They were afllicted
with chills and coughing, and all the
other indications of what is evident
ly miscalled hog cholera. He gave
them in their swill coal oil and gin
ger. Mr. S. don't say that this
eflected the cure, but he believes it
did, and that it will prove valuable
to hog raisers.
Dr. Brown -of David City was
in town Monday. He says that Da

$0.50, and Summit at $G a ton. Im
provements are going on rapidly,

two-story brick school-house will
probably be erected this summer
costing about $9,000.

Win. Newman, brother to the
sheep king, John II., wa3 in the city
Monday. He had read such ac
counts of Nebraska iu the Journal
that he thought ho would como and
see it for himself. Of course the
half had not been told him. He
thinks we have a great country for
stock, and that a man with money
can make money very rapidly. The
Journal proclaims Xebraska as the
poor man's hope, the rich .man's op
portunity, and is ready to prove the
saying true by many an illustration.
The Boone Co. Argus says
there is war between the mail and
express lines iiow "Wo rather
guess that is so, from what we
heard tho other day. A party of
four laud hunters were going from
here west and the two bid for their
passage, cheapening each other un
til the rate of faro was reduced to
zero by each of the transportation
companies, when the party of land
hunters divided itself equally into
tho two vehicles, and started off.

Foley's Flames.
Last Tuesday week between one
and two o'clock in the afternoon,
flames were seen by the neighbors
issuing from the premises of Patrick
Foley on Shell creek, oue-half mile
northwest of Henry Canig's. Henry
and an eniplov ee were ou the grouud
in n very short time, rendering
prompt and effective aid, and, with
the assistance of others, saving con
siderable property that would oth
wise have been destroyed. A boy
six years old, with a match had 6et
fire to borne straw in a dry-goods
box and the flames quickly commu
nicated to the sheds, stable, granar
ies, hog pen, hay-stacks, &c. The
boy's little sister, only one year his
senior, pulled him away from the
flames, went to the stable (the straw
roof and sides of which Avore already
on fire) liberated two horses, and
then ran to t! e hog pen and with an
ax knocked boards enough oft the
side to save the porkers from roast
ing. Just at this time Mr. Carrig
came up. He is very enthusiastic in
his praises of the young girl. The
neighbors worked heroically, and
succeeded in saving the dwelling
house and its contents, aud all but
150 bushels out of a crib of corn
containing 1G00 bushels; this was
done by cutting through the crib
after it was on fire. The loss was a
cattle shed, stable, about 20 tons of
hay, a mower, harness, &c, amount
ing probably to $250. At one time
the dwelling houso was in great
danger, and the well would not
supply water as fast as needed, but
a team was sent in great hurry to
Henry Carrig's for a supply with
which tho house was saved. It is
only justice tolay that Mr. and Mrs.
Foley were absent at Platte Centre
during tho fire, and hadsJeft the
youngsters in charge of an elderly
Polish woman.

The Xebraska State Democratic
Central Committee held a meeting
at Omaha on the 9th. The Commit
tee was pretty fully represented.
The time for holding the State Con
vention, afler a tolerably sharp dis
cussion, was fixed on "Wednesday
March 31st 1SS0. The place of hold
ing tho convention was the next
thing in order for the Committee to
consider, and on motion of Hon. J.
E. Xorth of this city, aud through
his persistant recommendation of
first-class accommodations of hotels
and hall that would accommodate
350 people, the vote was ordered and
resulted iu favor of Columbus as the
place. Every statement made before
the committee by Mr. Xorth, the
delegates to tho State Convention
will find strictly true, and for the
same reasons the Jorn.vAT. has here
tofore urged upon the Republican
State Central Committee t hold the
Republicau State Convention at this
city. Our hotels will furnish as
good accommodations as any in the
State, aud the hall, the place of
meeting, will furnish every conven
ience for the delegates.
This is the way it is often done.
A man in debt to his grocer for a
year's supply of the. necessaries of
life, will go to a grocer who gives
no credit, and invest his five, ten or
fifteen dollars cash in groceries, aud
immediately thereafter step into his
old purchasing place, and get twice
the sum on "tick." "We heard of
one instance Monday, but we know
that it is only a sample of many that
occur, and it is thoroughly mean,
too. There is nothing that will de
stroy a man's credit so soon as to
have a thing of this kind known
of him, and there is no business es
tablishment in the world that can
hear the strain of constant credit
and inconstant collections.
The U. P. railroad is as free from
accidents nr-any we know of, but
occasionally one will happen ou their
long line. Sunday morning last,
four miles west of Jackson, the
oa'stcru-bound emigrant train, ex
cept the eugino and one car, was
thrown from the track by a broken
rail. "We could not learn of any
injury to passengers. Seven cars
wero ditched. Considering the fact
that iron breaks very readily in cold
weather, it is a wonder that moro
accidents do not happen in this way.
If the road-bed is not perfectly true,
and one tic sinks, a rail is sure to be
broken, because of frost in the iron.

Those "Weighty lamb."
Mb. Editor: Your correspond
ent "Dot" referring to our heavy
lambs as "lambs of this spring," aud
as Mr. H. J. Hudson iu tho same
issue of your valuable paper calls
me "to the front" in regard to them,
I will rise and explain. Believing
with my friend J. X. Meyer, who
has handled sheep from his child
hood up, that it is best to have lambs
come iu winter, when the farmer can
give time aud attention to their case,
we had calculated to have our lambs
born in February, but we were
thwarted in our design by some of
them coming in Januarv, and even,
if I recollect aright, in the latter
part of December. By a little extra
care, such as penning the lambs with
tho ewes in a warm place for a few
days, we stiflercd no more loss than
is usual, even at more favorable
times. We have no distinct breed
of sheep; they are only a mixture of
different common breeds, some hav
ing a little Cotswold aud some a
little Merino blood in them, I sup
pose, but we are trying to grade
them up. The heavy lambs we have
were nothing extra at birth, and I
don't believe that there were any
fourteen pounders among them, but
I cannot tell for sure as we did not
weigh them then. Seeing them
grow so fast, however, we weighed
two on Jan. 17th. ono weighed then
24 lbs. and ono 25 lbs. On Feb. 7th,
wo weighed them again, and the
first one had gained 11 lbs., weigh
ing 35 lbs., and the other ono turned
the scales at 33 lb?, having gained
8 lbs. "When I wrote the statement
quoted by Mr. Hudson, they weigh
ed from 35 to 40 lbs. This morning,
March 12th, we weighed three of
them, one weighing 49 j, one 50,
and ono 51 lbs. Our sheep have
been fed barley, and lately corn,
with all the hay they would eat at
the stack, the little fellows beginning
soon to partake of tho hay and grain
with the rest. Respectfully,
A. Henrich.
The Other Side of theQueNtlon.
Mr. Editor : Sheep, shecp,8heep,
seems to be the watch-word. You
have published some articles ou
sheep which were so encouraging
that I should not wonder if men
would offer $10 a head for common
sheep. They might have all mine
for $9.99 a head. But, my .dear sir,
why is it that 60 many of our good
people in Platte county have gone
into sheep and then as fast as they
could went out of them again ?
Something wrong somewhere. Sheep
arc very good after they are nicely
butchered. I like mutton; but 1
don't like sheep as well as cattle,
horses, hogs or even chickens, and
that because they are the most
troublesome of all domestic animals.
They will slip through all and every
kind of fences; they will climb up
on every kind of elevation, such as
haystacks, etc. They will destroy a
great amount of good hay, by pick
ing out of it just what they liko aud
tramping the rest under their feet.
They cost a great deal of grain thro'
the winter. They are subject to a
good many disorders and diseases.
Sometimes they will eat their own
and each others wool, sometimes
they will shed their wool beforo it is
warm enough to shear them. Some
times they will getscaby.and would
rub all your fences and buildings
down if they could. Sometimes
they get foot rot. Some will not own
their lambs, some have no milk for
them, and some will not get lambs.
I suppose a few men might have
pretty good success with sheep, men
that have a special talent for hand
ling them and have very good luck
willi them. But I am fully convinc
ed that sheep aro not the slock for
everybody, and even if they were,
the great abundance of them would
spoil the market altogether. Your
writer, Mr. Editor, is of tho opinion
that men who can keep large flocks
of sheep, say several thousand, who
can make all the necessary arrange
ments to keep them well, who can
employ skilled shepherds, may do
well enough with sheep, hut men
who can keep but a few, will not
find them so profitable as a good
many suppose. Breeder.
Correspondence from IVIetx.
Mr. Editor: "What is the
news?" is your greeting generally
when you meet your writer. "Well,

rough "good morning!" from tho

"Wm. Bloedorn has removed to

Mr. Henrich of Bloomintrdale

has sold ono of his half-blooded bull
calves to Mr. Johannes, and has just
one splendid fellow, old enough for
service left. We have seen some of
his 50 pound lambs, and some of his
young pigs beautiful things. Mr.
H. in his meeting at our school
bouse some weeks ago, spoke in be
half of the sufferers in Ireland, and
appointed Win. Bloedorn to receive
donations, and in the meetings at
the school house in his own neigh
borhood he did the same, appointing
Mr. Robert Louis and Mr. George
Mahood to receive contributions,
giving them five dollars for that

Oar Kitting Letter.
Editor Journal: On account of
stress of other work, and that of
building aud moving, I did not have
time to prune aud cover my grape
vines on the farm before winter 6ct
in, and when that extrcmo cold
weather that we seldom see came, I
supposed that somo varieties at least
would be badly hurt. We have a
rare appetite for grape9, and of
course were a little anxious. Dur
ing the late warm weather we
pruned some and are glad to state
as far as pruned they had suffered
no injury. Of course we then laid
down and covered all but Concords,
Clintons and Franklius. One grape,
the Martha or White Concord, we
have never fruited yet, but of its
perfect hardiness here I am now
assured and with me, so far, its
growth has been as good as the Con
cord aud also as healthy. The fruit
is said to be as largo as the Concord
in siza of berry and bunch, of better
flavor, and earlier, which is quite a
desideratum in its favor. I hope to
be able to seud to Journal head
quarters this coming fall a few
bunches of a few varieties. As yet
