It is a dangerous and a very treacherous stream. More than one man has lost his lite thinking to stem its switt current. Going through its icy floor, in the channel would be almost certain death. The anti-prohibition committee have answered tho challenge lo de bate from the temperance side by saying in substance, that if the com munication had reached them at an earlier day it would have a Horded them great pleasure to have had a speaker in attendance, &c. There was a rumor in town Monday afternoon that two boys had been drowned in the Loup, but we couldn't trace it to any reliable source.

Any number of people enjoyed tho fine sleighing bore Sunday. As the weather looks now, it would seem that we are to have a jolly winter with the snow.

This not only shows the euergy and en terprise of the young man, but his thrift, as well. It is a rule, made more emphatic by every day's ex perience, that every head of stock, each one, should have atuplo and comfortable quarters, aud these the good stock-grower will provide, as he has means to do so. N. D. Jackson, a prominent young lawyer of Oakdale, Antelope Co., spent a few days in our city last week. He was in consultation with W. S. Geer, Esq , of this city ou importaut legal business as to the coming term of district court in Antelope Co., and supreme court. We learn that the final papers were made by him and Mr. Geer, remov ing a case which waB tried last summer from Antelope district court to tho supreme court. We hope the legal acumen and "learning of our bar will attract Mr. Jackson and his brethren many times, and they shall have our hearty welcome. On Saturday last we were per mitted to sco a written challenge which we were assured was about to be ent to G. V. Hitics, J. P. Becker, R. II. Henry. J. G. Higgins and C. A. Speice, who were a committee recently appointed at the anti-prohibitory meeting. The challenge was in duo form, from the temper ance organization here, selling forth that as these gentlemen had been prominently named in the opposition movement, aud as there were many who would like to hear all tho reas ons for aud agaiust a piohibitory law to name a man upon their side to publicly discuss the question. Scores of people went Wednes day morning to look at the wreck near the U. P. depot. The accident occurred betweeu six aud seven o'clock, by one train from the west running iuto another one that was standing on the track. From in quiry of passengers we learned that the engineer had whistled wildly for "down breaks," but the call was uot auswered by the sleeping brake men, aud so the accident happened. The cngino struck the rear end of the train, the car being au emigrant one, but very -fortunately with no occupant. It was pushed forward with such force that it mashed to about midway the timbers, the seats, everything being broken into ten thousand pieces. If auy body had been sitting there it is very safe to say that the crush would have mangled aud toru and crushed them in a moist horrible manner. Convention of County Clerics.

Dura, James Led wich, E. E. Lyle, S. G. Chaney.Chas. Perkey, L. G. Johns, II. A. Bab cock, P. Mortenson. Permanent organization was ef fected by electing James Lcdwich, of Saline county, chairman, and John Davis, of Pawnee county, secretary, whou the following resolution was offered aud adopted as the sense ol this meeting. Whereas, Experience ha9 demon strated the tact thai serious defecls mar the working ol our most im portant laws, more particularly the revenue aud road laws to such au exteut that they are almost imprac ticable of application to the purpo ses for which they were framed, aud, Whkkkas. It is thought that none are better qualified to poiut out such defects; or omissions than the officer who are charged with the execution of these laws, therefore be it Resolved, That this convention ot clerks aud treasurers adopt such measures as may secure .such reforms or additional legislation as will give to the tax-payers of the state tho safest and best laws which the wis dom, born of experience, may die late. On motion a committee was tp pointed on order of business, w ho submitted the following executive committee of five: L E. Cropey, J. R. Manchester, J. W. E.nly, L. G. Johns and James Lcdwich, for dis cussion of the following subjects revenue laws, road, blanks and forms, relating to district clerks, county and county olficcrs, which report was adopted after a thorough exchange of views during the day. Ou motion a vote ot thanks was tendered Mr. Early and Slauflerand other officers of Platte county for courtesies extended to the members of the convention. On motion the secretary was re quested to furnish a copy of the proceedings of this convention to stato papers. Ou motion the convention ad journed at 10 o'clock p. m. John Davis, Sec'.

It is very seldom that tho full particulars of a railroad accident can bo ascertained from the author ities. We have never yet been able to do so, and long ago ceased try ing. It is perhaps well enough that this is so, but it has struck us that if the truth were given to the news papers that all concerned would be the better off. This overland route, for instance, is getting the reputa tion ot being a very dangerous one ; there have beou several bad acci dents lately, just how bad we have no presout means of knowing. One man, a passengor on an cast-bound train last Wednesday morning, said that since leaving San Francisco, the accident of Wednesday made the fifth ou the trip. Dcbtit. We are in receipt of tho following letter from A. W. Lawrence, under dale of December 13th : Columbus Jounal, old friend :I left central Nebraska, Nor. 24th. Reached this city on the 2(!lh. Find it, as I always have done, very lively, with a large floating population, although I think from what I can see that nearly all- kiudsof business ib overdone here. One thing that eats up a good deal of the profits is the lerriblo high rate of rent. Any little hole 15x20, without any roof to speak of, rents quick for $50, aud any kiud of a business house, from $150 to $250 per month. The weath er hero has been very cold, with lots of snow for the past two mouths, but is warmer now. There have about 25 per cent, of the cattle died already, and I think there will be a larger loss still before spring. Now what 1 want is the Journal. I find that I can't do without it. Ou Christmas Eve, Friday Dec. 24th, a social dance will bo given by Engine Co. No. 1, at the Opera House. Also votes will be taken for the neatest dressed lady, that will appear at the daucc; also for the most pop ular young man in town. Each of them will be awarded a useful and costly present. This will be a rare opportunity' for you, ladies and gen tlemeu ; therefore make yourself ready aud attend the ball. Tickets only $1 a couple. Some of the citizens of Fullertou and Genoa had a big fight last week about the bridge that was erected some time since over the Beaver near Genoa, to accommodate what was believed to be a public highway, leading from the latter to the for mer place. Some of the citizens of Fullerton procured a writ of replev in, aud levied the same upon the bridge, tore up the lumber, placed it on wagons and started for Fullerton, near where they'intended to place it on a bridge across the Loup, to ac commodate travel south to Fullerton. At this stage of the proceedings the party was arrested by an olfieer from Genoa, and taken back the lumber unloaded aud piled up near tho bridge, then the party was put on trial, which resulted in the convic tion of R. R. Warn and line of $50, E. H. Staloy $10, Roberts $3 and Mead $10. The ca.e was appealed, to what court we did not Icam. This occur red oi Toe-day and, Wednesday uight all the loose lumber of the bridge was et ou fire and burned up. The kernel of the nut of the controversy being destroyed, we don't know where the "filthy lucre" is to come from to pay the costs and attorney's fees. The laborers arc certainly worthy of their hire, aud will doubtless take care of that part of it. .. We do not see that any of the State press find fault with the st prcme court for their decision in tho Olive case it is presumably correct, but, as the Hastings JVc braskun says, the fact will probably be thai, "this action of the supreme court will practically result in Olive's escaping further punishment tor one of the most atrocious crimes ever committed in a civilized laud." -- Letter l.lxt.
