this road tho present season. Nearly
evory train that passes this city
bound for the west is usually crowd
ed with passengers.
A very heavy raiu Monday
morning, which will keep the earth
moist for quite a while. These
frequent showers, interlarded with
warm sunshine, will bring the corn

mor here which is not creditable to

bleness of sheep raising in Nebraska.
We highly appreciate the good

The very heavy rain Saturday
night carried oft' the bridges at
Wise's, Loseke's and Wurdeman's.

S. F. Lctton from Paris, Bour
bon Co., Ky., stopped here Saturday
and Sunday with 24 head of thor
oughbred cattle. He left for North
Platte Sunday ovening, where he
intends to sell his stock to rauche
men. Ho is a practical, fiue-stock
raiser and thiuks of starting a branch
in Nebraska. He will be here again
in about 40 days with 60 head of
high-grade, Durham, two-yeare-old
heifers for sale, aud will stop in
Columbus a short time.
Josoph Kelly, an employe of the
U. P. R. R. Co., had his right shoul
der put out of joiut Saturday, and
was brought to the Surgical and
Medical Institute in this city, to have
it reduced, which was done by Drs.
Mitchell and Martyu, after consider
able hard work, and assisted by two
strong men. Of course chloroform
was used, and Mr. Kelly knew noth
ing of the work that was done until
it was all over. He loft on Sunday
for his home at Central City.
The American Agriculturist is
authority for harvesting wheat, oats,
! &c'y before the grain is fully ripe, as
j . ..,;.
it is less liable to shrink, and is
thereforo heavier and of better qual
ity. Tho straw is worth more for
fodder. There is less waste from
shelling, in cutting, binding, shock
ing, hauling in, stacking and thresh
ing. The work of harvesting can be
done without that hurry and rush
which attend the cutting of ripe
grain. A short delay from unfavor
able weather doea not entail serioui
Ion.
The lny.
Independence day was celebrated
on the 3d, opcuing at sunrise by a
national salute and the ringing of
bells, which were repeated at noon
aud in tho evening.
The air was filled with strains of
excellent music from the Columbus
Cornet Band, aud all through, the
exercises were enlivened by music.
At half past ton the procession
formed under the supervision of
Marshal G. W. Clother, assisted by
J. Rasmussen and J. Harpom. The
order of procession was the Band, in
wagon ; the Ship of Slato, with
thirty-eight youug girls, Miss Ma
bel Hudson personating the Goddess
of Liberty ; Engine co. No 1, in their
new uniform ; the Hook & Ladder
Co. ; the Hose carriage ; carriages
and wagons of citizens.
Alter traversing tho principal
streets of the city, the procession
halted at the Engine House square,
where a bower had been erected,
and where the crowd wero wel
comed to tho city by Capt. John
Hammond, who followed his speech
by reading the Declaration of In
dependence, which ho did in a clear,
ringing voice.
He was followed by C J. Green
of Omaha, who delivered a brief,
pointed and sensible oration, which
we expect to publish next week.
The games came off in the even
ing, and tho dance at night was en
joyed by a host of young folks.
in
So far as they have gone with
the crossings on Olive and North
streets the U. P. R. R. Co. havo done
well, but on the next two streets they
have not "filled tho bill." They
ought to be so wide that two teams
could pass readily and also without
danger of being thrown into a deep
hole. We understand that there aro
pits at the sidos of theee crossings
that have been there from the origi
nal grading of the road-bed. Of
course the city would be responsible
in damages consequent upon defec
tive streets, and why a railroad
company should be permitted to
maintain holes in our streets is not
easily understood by either people
or Council. The truo interests of
our city and our railroads arc not
diverse, but tho same, and in this
spirit we call upon tho U. P. to fill
up these bad places.
--
There are several reasons why
Nebraska farmers should put up
every pound of hay they can this
season, and allow no hay grass to go
to waste. There is every indication
now of a good market. Colorado,
it is said, will almost be destitute,
and there are portions of the east
affected by drought, which will be
compelled to purchase hay or get
rid of a large share of their stock.
We believe that a? the years pass,
hay in Nebraska will bo more and
more valuable, on account, particu
larly, of the immense demand that
will be made from the mountain,
raining regions west of us. If any
farmer is fearjul of making wages
fdr himself aud team he can doubt
less find some one to guarantee him
a price.
The work of the Library Asso
ciation in Dist. No. 1 has been highly
gratifying to its friends. The li
brary has been increased from about
eighty volumes, to near two hun
dred, mostly standard works of
value. Among them might bo no
ticed "The Report to tho Interior
Department, on tho Arid Regious of
the U. S.," a work of very great
scientific value; "Geology of Ne
braska," by Prof. Aughey ; McCau
ley's England, and many others of
equal value. The library will be
opened to all who desire its benefit,
during the vacation. Several from
the country have joined and thus
have the benefit of the library and
at the same time assist in further
building it up.
An amusing feature of the pro
gramme Saturday was the Kali
thumpians, but there was not near
enough of it a negro man and his
wife, iu a dilapidated cart, driving
an old donkey ; a soldier ou an old
mule; a woman riding a superannu
ated mulo; an old-fashioned West
Virginian on a horse, with a billet
of wood for a bit, twine striugs for
stirrup-straps and horse collars for
stirrups wero Bomc of the charac
ters represented. These masqued
parades might be made a very at
tractive feature of celebrations,
especially if the represented some
character or ovent of our national
history.
D. Anderson in a letter to us
dated Chicago, Juno 30, Bays that tho
crops in Iowa are like her republi
canism "overwhelmingly spontane
ous." The corn crop especially is
promising, but in Illinois it is not so
forward, owing to the extrome wet
weather. The live stock market is
and has been for weeks very much
depressed, especially on cattlo.
Receipts last Friday, over 9,009 head,
is unprecedented, and 40,000 hogs
per day were never offered here
before at this time of year, still the
enterprising, speculative packers
mako out to take care of all that
comes.
H. P. Coolidge has shown us a
specimen of Alfalfa grown in his
house-yard. He thinks it would be
an excellent thing for Nebraska far
mers to grow, being hardy, and its
roots going down to water. We
hereby constitute our California cor
respondent, CyruB Lee, a committco
of one to report upon the merits of
this grass in that Stato where, we
understand, it is very favorably re
garded. Nebraska should bo look
ing out for a tame grass which can
be successfully grown for hay on
our elevated uplands, aud also
lengthen our grazing season at both
ends.
I'ewiuan's Grove.
Sinco our last communication Ol.c
Tbrouson, liviug near here, lost two
children ; aud now he is reported
very sick at, or near Lcadville, and
his wife has gone to him.
Mrs. Masters, wife of Gcorgo Mas
ters died on Sunday night, 27th ult.
Measles have been prevalent thro'
the early part of the season, but
havo now about disappeared. At
this time general health is good.
Spriug grain is poor, owing in
part to early drouth. It is estimated
at half a crop. Corn is good. Hay
will be light. No weather can now
bring it out.
There is great excitement about
the country at the head of the Elk
horn and Niobrara. Some of our
people have taken claims out there
and will mako stock raising their
business. Emigration is coming iu
livoly. Many goiug northwest.
Some to Nanco county. Much stock
is going past in the direction of
Nanco county. . And we continue to
receive additions to our population,
and improvements continue to pro
gress. We aro anxious to learn the
intentions of the A. & N. R. R. Co.
Are we to havo a railroad ?
About a week ago Mr. Simou
Christiauson lost his dwelling house
by fire.togethor with all his clothing,
bedding, furniture, provisions and
grain. He was badly burned trying
to 6ave something. Mr. Christian-,
son was well fixed. He is now old
and will feel the loss severely. He
was insured for a small amount, but
nothing like the loss. Thcro has
been no adjustment mado yet.

For the Journal.
The Picnic
On the 3d in Ilcurich's and Will
iam's grove was quite a fine littlo
affair. The Sunday school that had
instituted it occupied the time in
tho forenoon by singing aud instru
mental music. Their superintend
ent Row A. Henrich delivered an
address ou the origin, history and
present state of tho Sunday school
work. After that two of tho teach
ers distributed little bags containing
goodies for tho little ones, and as
there was great plenty, everybody
got a little something to sweeten the
mouth and the temper. -Huge bas
kets were then opened, table-cloths
spread upon tho green grass and if
there were any that had not brought
a basket, they were invited to bo
many tables that it was hard to de
cide which invitation to accept.
After dinner, music, both vocal
and instrumental, addresses by Mr.
Joseph Stewart aud Mr. Major
Christmas, for the young people
swings and games, lemonade and
ice-cream for all, friendly conversa
tion, renewal of old acquaintances
and general good and social feeling
all helped together to make it an
enjoyable occasion. So said every
Observer.
