Ed. Journal : Your correspond
ent "Breeder" (if he uses "specs")
certainly did not have them on when
he read my article, or he would not
charge me with calling the friends of
sheep husbandry infatuated, as it
was himself, at least by inference,
that put forth this proposition j but
as he appears now to have dropped
his fun (a kind of April fool joke,)
and placed himself on the platform
of good common sense, I am pre
pared to meet him more than halt
way. The dog law of Nebraska is
undoubtedly not what it should be,
and if Breeder can tell me why the
money secured from licenses for the
sale of Alcoholic poisons is appro
priated to the school fund instead of
to the families of those made deso
late by their use, then I can tell him
why the dog fund should be appro
priated to the education of our
children. That sheep husbandry has
received no protection from the
State is owing to the fact of its
being comparatively yet in its in
fancy, but that it thus needs protec
tion, all thoughtful persons will
admit, and as our Legislature meets
the coming winter, now is the time
to prepare for some action on the
subject, and in the meantime let us
hold our assessors to a strict ac
countability that ' they return all
dogs In their respective districts,
as there is no question that many
persons keep more dogs than they
return for taxation, and if a dog is
not worth paying tax for, he ought
to be put out of the way as a neigh
borhood nnisnncc. But in the mean
time let those who have sheep
expend a small amount for bella, and
they will not have cause to regret
the investment.
With our friend Ileinrich, I am
an advocate for mixed husbandry;
farmers have too much depended on
grain for a livelihood, and for this
reason I hailed the bailing of hay
the past season as a stop in the right
direction, but until new channels of
industry are opened to him wo must
not blame the farmer if he adheres
to the old beaten track, regarding a
small margin of profit close at hand
with more favor than large profits
in prospective. A Farmer.

Editor Journal: According to
promise when I left your town, I
will try to give you a few items.
We started from Columbus, March
8th, taking the C. B. & Q. route from
Omaha to St. Louis. Had a very
pleasant trip, the weather being fine
all the way down. We arrived in
St. Louis at 6 :30 p. m., the follow
ing day after starting from Nebras
ka, and our destination early on the
10th. Things looked very different
here when we arrived from what
they did in Nebraska, when we left,
the grass being very green, and
winter wheat was large enough to
conceal the ground. This section of
country had an excellent wheat crop
last season, and they tell me the
the prospect is even better this
spring than last. One of my old
neighbors tells me that he threshed
2500 bushels of wheat from 100
acres by machine measure. The
same man tells me that one piece of
18 acres, averaged 37 busholB. Corn
is worth 30 cts. here at present, and
wheat $1.12, aud yet flour is only
$3.50 per hundred. Good coal is
mined here, and can be bought at
the pit for $1.25 per ton, or 5 cts. per
bushel as they sell it here. Peach
trees are now in bloom in this local
ity, and prospect for fruit good.
There are a great many fine vine
yards here, and grapes are not con
sidered much of a rarity. As our
Nebraska frienda predicted, we
found some mud on our "arrival, but
the weather having been quite good
most of the time since, the roads are
now very good. Wo were some
time in getting settled, on account
of non-arrival of some goods which
we shipped from Columbus the day
we left, and still they are not here,
although nearly one month on the
road. Hoping this will answer for
a letter to one and all of our Ne
braska friends, in case you dee fit to
publish it, I remain
Yours respectfully,

Commissioner Wise answers a
very pertinent inquiry by Geo. S.
Truman, which wo publish for gen-
Leral benefit :
Columbus, April 8th, 18S0.
Editor Journal: Many people
throughout the county fail to spc
how it is that the county can be ten
thousand nine hundred and four
dollars deficient, after including all
delinquencies or out-standing taxes.
The published statement of the
indebtedness of Platte county shows
the different bonded indebtedness to
be $70,000. The law provides that
for bonds payable, the levy shall be
made each year sufficient to cover
the interest and five per cent, of the
principal, which provision has al
ways been complied with. The
general bridge bonds were issued
July 1870, payable in 20 years ; one
half th3 time has expired. The
funding bonds were issued July
1875, to run 10 years ; one-half their
time has expired. Is it not plain to
sea that if the levy is regularly made
and collections get no worse that
when the bonds become due there
will be ample money to meet the
obligation, as the statement shows
that there is now due the county
aufficiejpt to pay all indebtedness, j
short $10,901.92? Therefore we
think that with caution and good
management, tho county can be
placed in good sound financial con
dition. A great portion of the de
linquents are uon-residents, and an
effort is being made to collect such
and all others, which it is hoped and
believed will prove successful to a
great extent. John Wise.
This from the Beatrice Courier:
"It may be semi-authoritatively
stated that Gov. Nance is not a can
didate for TJ. S. Senator to succeed
Senator Paddock. An Osceola pa
per, which, being published at the
home of Gov. Nance, may be looked
upon as voicing the sentiments of
the Governor, has this to say :"
The Courier thon quotes the sin
gularly worded paragraph referred
to by the Journal a few weeks ago,
whereiu, among other things, it was
stated that Gov. Nance was placed
in "a. very delicate position" owing
to the fact that he ha3 friends who
insist be should be a candidato, and
others not so friendly who insist
that he is a candidate. We may be
partially blind in this matter, but we
insist that Bio. Fleharty or some
body has used strange phraseology
if the idea intended to be conveyed
is that Gov. Nance should not, is
not, or will uot be a candidate for
senator against Mr. Paddock. Will
the Home 2fexos or tho Beatrice
Courier explain to us the alleged
delicacy of the position ?
Three masked robbers broke into
the residence of Isaac Tlldomridgc,
a Dunkard farmer residing near
Now Holland, Pa., on the 8th. They
drew their pistols and demanded
silence and obedience. Tho elderly
sister of the farmer was bound,
and a pistol held to her head while
her brother was compelled to deliv
er up all his money. The robbers
wore black masks, and are Riippopcd
to belong to tho Welsh mountain
gang who are uow terrorizing cast
Pennsylvania.
The fifteenth annual conference of
the Mormon church was held in
Salt Lake last week, with an atten
dance of ten thousand Mormons. A
debt of eight hundred thousand dol
lars due for the transportation of
Mormons to the United States was
cancelled. Fifty missionaries were
sent out. Taylor remains presi
dent. A negro tramp boarded the train
at Sidney, Ohio, one day last week
and having no money was put off at
Hardin station. As the train started
he got on the platform and fired
through the window, presumably at
the conductor, but the ball struck
and killed Joseph M. Lehman a
passenger. The negro escaped.
