A lad on Shell creek, djoso name we could not learn, was lick ed in the jaw by a horse one day last week. It was feared ths it might prove fatal. Clark Cooncey reports the stora of Saturday pretty lively on the fld Reserve. Trees three feet in diau eter were blown out by tho roos, near tho river in sandy ground. Every modern convenience h been placed in the Graud Pacifb house in this city by its propriety Ueo. .Lenman, wnicn makes it a cozy and pleasant place for the' weary travelers to tarry. Nebraska never does anything by halves or quartere. Dry or wet, windy or calm, the weather remainB an interesting topic of conversation, under all circumstances, .and not the mere shuttlecock that it is in eastern states. Miss Lillie Inman, an accom plished youug lady of Chicago, who had been visiting here with her mother for several weeks, left on Saturday last for the Garden City. James Yore's dwelling-house x& miles southwest of Genoa was blown off its underpinning during the storm of Saturday. It was one and a half stories high, not finished, and open beneath. We were interviewed last week by Gus. Becher, our gentlemanly census taker, and compelled to ans wer questions beginning with our grandparents and ending with the present generation. "Childrens' Day" will be ob served next Sabbath evening at the M. E. Church, this city, exercises commencing at 7 :30 P. M., consist ing of singing and speeches from prominent speakers. The total expenditures for schools for the past year were $18, CCi,80. In the statement in the Joubsal last week the first figuro "one" was omitted, making the sum too little by $10,000. Fred. Blasser, who has been temporarily occupying the drug store building on 13th street prepar atory to entering his new dwelling, is compelled to move out to give place to a business occupant. Rev. A. Heinrich was in town yesterday making arrangements to receive some German carp from the Fish Commission. The culture of fish is, we think, destined to be a paying industry in Nebraska. Twenty-four families of Polan ders, about 150 persons, arrived here on the U. P. express Monday evening. They are a hardy looking people, and were welcomed by a number of resident Polanders. Wm. H. Seward, a distant re lative of the late distinguished Sec retary of State, recently eloped with Miss Florence Smith, daughter of M. W. Smith of Polk county. He, eighteen; she fifteen. So says the News. Mr. I. Niemoller, one of Platte Center's merchants, came into the metropolis Saturday, and being storm-bound, stayed over till Mon day. Our readers in that neighbor hood will find him a straightforward dealer. O. P. Reed ha3 returned from a trip into southern Kansas. Crops in the eastorn part of that, state arc looking good, but in the southwest are vory poor. Mr. Reed left his motherless babe with its grand mother. Rev. John Scudder, recently from New York, has located in Croston precinct, on the Dalton premises. We extend him a hearty welcome to Nebraska, and wish he may meet a kind reception aud good success. E. T. Potts, of the Columbus Independetit, so we are informed is making arrangements to remove his printing establishment to Gol den, Colorado, where he purposes continuing in the business. Suc cess to him. Fok Salk. A dwelling-house and lot in a very desirablo part of the city. Will be sold at a sacrifice, as the money is needed. The house is new and cost more money than is asked for both bouse and lot. For further particulars inquire at the Journal office. Rev. Mr. Evans of the United Presbyterian church will occupy the Congregational pulpit next Sabbath morning in the absence of Rev. Sherman, who purposes to attend the commencement exercises of Doano College at Crete. We learn that the building oc cupied by Wm. Becker as a grocery has been sold to M. Schram, jr., and that he will open a restaurant there in shortly. Wm. moves one door west in the same block, so that his many friends will not have to go far to find him. Those who have used both whole and ground feed for stock in this county decide is favor of the latter, whon it does not cost too much for grinding. It takes much less ground feed to supply an ani mal's wauts, there is no waste and the manure is much better. S. O. Raymond visited Kansas City and Atchison last week. He says that below Ulysses the crops looked in excellent condition. In southeastern Nebraska and eastern Kansas everything looked splendid, and corn was two feet high. Mr. Raymond thinks very favorably of both the cities he visited as places of business. J. H. Reed sold 14 fat steers the other day. For an experiment be weighed them before beginning to feed them for the market, to see what could be done, and says that in the 55 days he fed them they gained on an average 200 pounds apiece. He believes that it iB not best or cheapest to fatten cattle in mid winter, aud estimates the ratio of corn necossary at 3 to 5, in favor of warm weather. After a series of wild wind and rain storms a preacher felt Ir duty bound to raise a petition invoking the Divine power not to send any more devastating winds and rain jtorrents, but to let the waters come gently, drizzle-drozzle, drizzle-droz-:le, that they might penetrate into be soil and do good to the crops. S appropriate at any time, such a payer would not have been ont of 1 dace Saturday afternoon. The Ariou Quartette Club assist ed by the Macnnerchor will give a grand musical cntcrlaiumcnt at tho Opera House on Wednesday even ing, June 16th, for the benefit of the Sisters' Hospital. There is no worthier object, aud there should be a large attcudauce. The fourth of July this year is on Sunday. It h understood gen erally that the celebration will be made on the third. By the way, what is Columbus to have in the shape of a recognition of the day? Is Columbus to rest satisfied with beiug the centre of the State politi cal movements this year? Mrs. Mary Belisle intended to make an explanatory statement in regard to the doings of certain po licemen, but she prefers to wait un til after the meeting of the City Council, who have the whole matter under advisement. She claims that gross and outrageous misrepresen tations have been made concerning her. Monday we saw two little chil dren alone in a wagon standing on the street. To be sure the horse attached to the vehicle looked like a gentle animal, but being untied he might have been frightened and run off withMho two unprotected little fellows, &c, &c. There are a great many things that might happen, but men should hold themselves to account for accidents, tho result of unreasonable or criminal careless ness. Wo are informed that of late several instances have occurred of iusults, more or less flagrant, to ladies of tho city. This is merely one of the results attendant upon the introduction of bawdy houses. The ladies who havo been insulted aro now prepared to defend themselyes which they will certainly do upon the very next provocation. It is uothing but justice to Columbus to say that thope engaged in this busi ness were strangers. We believe it would pay farm ers to hold their wool till fall. It always gets low about shearing time. There is really no good mar ket anywhere in tho west, and com mission merchants in the east, as a rule, will not receive wool for sale without reserving tho right to sell, according to their own judgment. This, when it is considered that their commission is so much per pound and is not. increased on a higher price, is, jMvwm facie, evi dence of an intention to defraud, if a favorable opportunity offers. The Sioux City & Nebraska R. R. Co. have failed to got bonds in Cedar county, aud will not build beyond Ponca this year. They are widening the track, making it the standard gauge to Ponca. They expect to be iu running order by the first of July. It is a fixed fact that they will not build in this di rection this year. Thoy aro pushing to completion tho line from Sioux City to Omaha. They aro also sur veying towards Norfolk, and it looks as though they contemplated a far-western route into Colorado. David Anderson returned on Sunday from Chicago. While there he attended the great Grant and Blaine mass meetings held on Mon day evening, where assembled over 20,000 people to listen to the grand eat orators of the country, Conkling, General Logan, Fred. Douglass and others. He also was present at the Veterans' convention, held in Ha verly's theatre building, whore Gen. Woodford of New York presided, and where General Phil. Sheridan seemed to be the idol of the occas ion. Mr. A. obtained a complimen tary ticket from Major Furay to admit him to this convention. He also visited tho Woman's Rights convention, held in Farwell Hall, presided over by Susan B. Anthony. He listened to some very fine ora tions delivered by PhebeM. Cousins and Mrs. Spencer; he also took in Barnum's great show and McVick ers' theatre. He was present in the National Convention, at its opening on Tuesday and beheld the grandest sight ever witnessed in America. Having been present at tho first national republican convention held in tho city of Philadelphia in 185G, and at the national convention that nominated Fillmore and Donaldson in tho same city, yet those gatherings are as pigmies compared with the preseut assembly now meeting in Chicago. Over 10,000 people all seated comfortably within the walls of the handsomest and best arranged public building ever occupied by any assembly in this country, where were assembled scores of the roost brilliant orators and finest states men of the nation, and on the out side of the building were 10,000 anxious and excited persons who could not gain admittance at all. He was in the all-night session of Friday and Saturday, when Emery Storrs, who defended the Illinois regulars, and set the house ablaze, by his eloquent allusions to the grand old hero, which burst of ap plause lasted continuously 27 min utes by the watch. Mr. A. could write a volume of the exciting and interesting scenes witnessed there during his stay of five days, his po sition was close to the speaker's stand, where could be observed all the notables, and where could be distinctly heard every word uttered by the chair and membera of the convention. He was well pleased with the personal appearance of young Prince Leopold, as he entered the convention accompanied by the venerable Marshall Jewell. The Grant wing he represents as contain ing the brain8,and parliamentary ex perience of the convention, but thinks at this writing they lack the votes to nominate. The Storm. Saturday last at about half past two p. m., this region of couulry was visited by a storm of rain, ac companied by very fierce wiuds. Not, indeed, like the cyclones that have visited some other portions of the country this season, but a very vigorous exhibition of the strength and push there is in moving air. The wind was from the prevailing direction, northwest, and blew with great violence for several hours. We hear of no human lives lost, and very few animals. Below, we give some IKCIDF.XT3 OF THE STORM. The windmill at the U. P. depot was blown down, and is a wreck. Four men are now engaged, night and day, pumping water into the tank. It is supposed that the com pany will go to work now and put up a first-class mill and tank. The tower of the old mill, the mast, rather, we are informed, was con demned six months ago. A portion of tho roof over Mar shall Smith's brick building, occu pied below by Friodhoff & Co., and above by the Knights of Honor, was torn off, leaving only a strip on the south side. We are told that this was caused by defective carpenter work on the cornice. The loss is estimated at $150. G.W.Phillips had two lights broke out of the front of his store. Wm. Shilz's sign got away, and was finally sawed off. Chas. Schroeder's wind mill went down. D. A. Lord's wind mill was torn from tho tower, and scattered over the prairie. Boards from the lumber yards flew promiscuously. Telegraph communication east was stopped between this point and Schuylor. Large two-story brick buildings trembled under the strong pressure of the storm, which was at times so groat that it was difficult for a man to stand up. Turning round a cor ner to windward was no small matter. Numerous chimneys blown down. A small tent in the bottom occu pied by a family, sojourning, was blown over. Numerous trees, mostly worm- eateu cottonwood, were broken off at tho weak points. Jacob Ernst, jr., narrowly escaped probable death from falling timber at liiB father's house. One hundred and forty-five trees wero broken off in Mr. Ernst's groves, and three or four panels of picket fence was blown down. Thos. Flynn's corral was so de moralized that his cattle got out, and had to be watched all night and hunted for the next day. Hoidelbergcr's awning was caught amidship, veered to ono side, and hammered at the windows until several of them broke. The rain dashed in wherever there was an opening toward the north or northwest. Weather Report. Review of the weather at Genoa, for the month of May, 1880 : Mean temperature of mo., deg's. . .65.56 Mean do of same mo. last vear 61.02 Highest do on the 2tth deg's 90 Lowest do on the 1st deg's 40 Ordinarily clear days 15 "Very cloudy days 9 High winds days 10 Calm days 5 Rain or snow fell days 5 Inches of rainfall 0.83 Prevailing winds from S. and S.W. Slight hail on the 23d, from t to 1 in. in diameter. Solar halos on the 5th and 9th. The month has been remarkable for tho almost constant prevalence of southerly winds. On 22 out of 31 days the wind blew from that direction, and at times with great force; add to this the fact that the rainfall ia nearly 2 in. less than the minimum, and 5 in. below the max imum of the same mouth for the past 4 years, and we need not be surprised that vegetation has suffer ed for tho waut of sufficient moist ure, when wo consider that the winds, heated to a high tempera ture, havo passed over a long stretch of country from Texas north, in all of which tho rainfall has boen so very light as to be considered next to nothing, so that when they reach ed this section they absorbed the moisture with the avidity of a hot iron.

Fragments of limbs and bark and part of a log were brought np. The auger was passing through a tough, black clay when these antediluvian relics were reach- I ed. Osceola tfews. TkoreHghfereds. Breeders of stock in Platto county will be interested to kuow that A. Heinrich & Sous of the Springdale Stock Farm on Shell creek, in this county, are starting in an enterprise that we belicyc is the first of the kind for Platte county, viz., the breediug of thoroughbred short horn cattle. As already noted in the Jodrxal, they recently pur chased seven head of thoroughbreds, which with one already on hands, Baron Oxford, gives thom an ex cellent beginning for their com mendable enterprise. On Thursday last, in company with our neighbor farmer, J. H. Reed, we visited the Springdale farm, to see this acces sion to the good herds of Platte county. The list comprises two three years old, Angelina 2d and Golden Maid: one two years old, Lady Gertrude ; three yearlings, Lady Catherine, Topsy and Queon Esther. By the side of Angelina is Sir Lawrence, ono month old. They aro all certainly very fine looking animals, and the Messrs. Heinrich deserve commendation for their en terprise in starting an industry that is destined to make or help to make a grand revolution in stock-raising in old Platto. No one any longer disputes tho propriety of purchasing thoroughbred males for use among common herds and flocks, knowing that it costs no more to raise good stock than poor, and that the prices obtainable are always much better, and sales always sure. Lot two men take a hundred cows each, and one use a thoroughbred bull, the other a scrub, and the difference in the out come in three years will bo very considerable, so much so, indeed, that the latter will be ashamed of himself. Common calves arc worth throe to six dollars, half-bloods from fifteon to twenty-five. But thoroughbreds are a still bet ter property. Being "completely" bred, or bred from tho best blood through a long term of years, cer tain general characteristics aro fixed and transmitted to the progeny, and it is this stability and "fixed pur pose" that give the thoroughbreds their superlative advantage over "scrubs," and their high superiority ovor grades, so that it is not an un common thing that a thoroughbred cow should be sold for tona of thou sands of dollars. Having his stock for Rale we did not consider it pertinent to ask Mr. Heinrich the cost of them, but he told us that he was asked $400, $500 and $750 each for cows no bettor than these of hia.

Look out for a lively meeting. By Order Com. McCormick of the Oakdalo Pen and Plow, in a lengthy article on some questions raised in the Jour nal, says : Mr. Hullhorst objects strongly to the sacerdotal robes at the altar. That is too lame a step for a Protest ant of his ability. Christ never protested against the robes of the Jewish Rabbins at the altar. At tho altar a priest should wear hia robes to invest his person and office with all possible solemnity and impreaa iveness. Among hia people a min ister distributing words of cheer or reproof or warning he ia an Evange list, and he can wear the garb of a worker. While on earth Christ did the most of bis work as an Evange list, but near the end II o anointed with the most impressive solemnity His Bishops, and they in turn their successors and clergy, and there is nothing in tho words and example of Christ or his apostles against the forms and ceremonies of the Catho lic churches as they are tbia day. Shall It Re ? Mr. Editor: Shall Columbua celebrate our National Birthday? or shall it be left to other localities to do the honors ? With our brighten ed prospects by recent showers, we have reason to rejoice and be glad, and let us have a grand old-faBhion-ed Barbecue on the 5th day of July. There aro a great many of our old patrons who would visit their old stamping ground, and with the L.& N. W. R. R. completed to our city, both old and young would have an opportunity for a social re-union, such as we UBed to have in our pio neer life. I do hope a meeting will bo promptly called and appropriate committees appointed to get up a celebration worthy our facilities and advantages. Dot. For the Journal. Wool. I notice in tho Jourxal, sales of wool in Columbua. Who ia it makea purchases of this kind, and why do they not advertise and lot the peo ple know what they are doing? But of this I can assure them that unless Columbus buyers are more liberal than they have heretofore been, far mers will ship their wool, for with competing lines of railroad it would pay them to do so.
