Last. Sunday while Win. Law rence and Henry Morris wore out driving, one of tho buggy wheelR went into a hole, landing Win. and the lines on terra jirma, leaving Henry to jump out at his leisure and as good opportunity should offer a sort of HobHon's choice, however, at best.

Charles Disfelhorat, living a short distance east of the city, left at the Journal office Thursday a splen did sample of Rose potatoes. They wero beauties. His method of rais ing them consisted of sticking the seed into the prepared ground with very light cover and then placing over them about a foot of straw, and thus prepared they were left to grow without further cultivation. This method, if it produces such potatoes as Charlie's, will be worth hundreds and thousands of dollars .to the farmers of Platte county. Complaints are still entered at these headquarters concerning the Platte river bridge. The specifica tious arc that every here and there a board is off from the upper floor, and in some of these places the under floor is rotten; that the planks in many places arc loose; that from the approach on the north end, to the ground, there is a direct fall of several inches, enough to occasion the breaking of the axle of a farm wagon tho other day.

Kramer of the New York Cheap Cash Store has discontinued his branch house at Crete, and will give more attention to his other establishments.

Those who have occasion to dpal with him or his salesmen will find them trust worthy. J Sour .Hill-. Crf.ston, Aug. 21st, 'SO. Mr. Editor : Will you please tell in your next issue, if sour milk is I have a child that is ravenous for it, will eat, two and three cup full, if not denied, and some of my neigh bor's children show the same crav ing, but we are ignorant of its effects. Please enlighten us ou the subject in your columns, and oblige Constant Readers. The writer of the above very properly regards the newspapers as a medium of exchange of opinions. The writer hereof is not a physician, but, haviug consulted one on this subject, we give his answer briefly, that sour milk is not injurious; that the child craved some acid, and that sour milk being at hand he took it. Tho probability is that if apples, orauges, lomons or something of the sort equally as palatable were fur uished the children would not crave the sour milk. We once know a very aged man who made a rule of drinking about a quart of buttermilk a day, and claimed that it had pre served him pouud and healthy. Another man of our acquaintance used clabber aa a drink, and thrived upon it. This we regard as a good test in all things. Too little atten tion is paid to matters of living; health is the first consideration. C A. Speice, Esq., and family returned last week from a visit to St. Joseph, Mo. Mr. S. was highly pleased with the city, its people, business, its appearance, &c, not withstanding that it had been suff eriug a long time for rain, together with thecountry for 15 milesarouml, and that the dust on the road's in the outskirts of the city was several inches deep. Wells were failing and cisterns wcro'boing filled from the river. The county court houe, Mr. Speice thinks, is the finest structure of the kind he has ever seen. It is large, very substantial, on high ground, aud make a splendid ap pearance. The city had just iiniOic d laying 10 or 18 miles of pipe tor their now water works, and were testing it. : Commissioner John Walker was in town Saturday and iu allusion to what he read in the Journal of the 18th concerning the Platte river bridge not being properly finished, he says this season of the year is the most busy time, but in a short time the Commissioners will sec to the wants of the county at large. The Board will soon order one or two car loads of cottonwood plan!;, and then they will give the Platte bridge a general overhauling in the line of planking. John says he would al ways recommend cottonwood plank for flooring, as it will last twice as long as pine. He expresses the sen timent that it augurs well for Co lumbus to sco teams coming 20 miles from the south to sell thoir produce here. -.m- - JoIiiih1min Ir!niatv.
