Au irate countryman entered a

employes at a game of cards. We

Yc who sit by warm firc, in
comfortable houses, and sleep the
sleep ot the faithful ou warm feather
beds, between blankets mayhap, and
under an abundance of light, warm
covering, and that, too, atter tilling
yourselves with the good things of
this life, don't forget your needy
neighbors, and measure your re
membrance ol them by something ot
value to them.
An intelligent gentleman of our
acquaintance suggests that the loads
instead of running at right angles as
now, should seek the natural ways,
as streams do, and not up hill and
down. He sugge-ts that a good
deal of traffic goes to Madison on
the uorth, and to Humphrey and
Platte Centre on the west, that
would come to Columbus except
tor the roads in this direction.
Mr. Allen Vincent, at our solic
itation, has promised us a statement
concerning his dairy products, that
we have no doubt will attract atten
tion. There is no question as to the
profits of stock-raising simply for
iucrease in numbers and for beef, but
the profits from the products of the
dairy, when carefully, properly aud
shrewdly managed, are so much
greater that many will be induced to
make a change.
Jno. L. Shorey has ceased to be
the publisher of the Xursery, but the
new publishers have caught the
spirit of the Nursery, and the insti
tution, established we believe by
Mr. Shorey.continues in all its vigor,
brightness and sweetness. No
household, containing young chil
dren beginning to read, should be
without it. Send 15 cents for a
specimen number to Nursery Pub
lishing Co., Boston. Mass.
The blunders that occurred in
the make-up of last weeks' Journal
aro uncommon in this office. The
Journal has been published over
ten years uuder the supervision of
the same foreman, and but one other
similar blunder has occurred in all
that long time and had he n. ide
them (when we consider the thous
and and one perplexities to torment
and trouble a printer and foreman)
we could readily forgive the blun
ders. Watch-night sociable at the
Congregational Church Friday eveu
ing. The time until twelve o'clock
will be pleasantly passed in the en
joyment of Hocial talk, Readings,
Music, Tableaux aud Refreshments.
At twelve the beautiful tableau
"Departure of the old year and com
ing of the new," will be preeented,
aud immediately following it, the
bell will be rung announcing the
arrival of 1881. Come any time
during the evening. Welcome to
all.
We are in roceipt of a marked
copy of the Lawrence (Kan.) Trib
une, containing an article on the
Western Farm Mortgage Co., F. M.
Perkins, Prest., located iu Lawrence,
Kansas, and which was secretly or
ganized last March and April. J. B.
Watkins has charged Perkins with
embezzlement, and though the latter
threatened a suit tor libel, it has uot
been instituted, and Watkitm is gen
erally supposed to be in the right.
Is this the Co. that became so prom
inent here last summer, and was

At the Congregational church
Christmas evening, Santa Claus's
gifts, appeared on a large tree nicely
decorated. Each of the school chil
dren received a present, and the
Sup't., J. II. Reed, a handsomely
bound volume of Whittier's poems.
The congregation presented Miss
Libbie Crites and Mrs. C. G. Uiekok
with silver cake baskets of ver3 ele
gant designs. Special features of
the evening's entertainment were a
pound party for the benefit of the
pastor, and a supper for the children ;
among the pound presents was a set
of silver knives. Little Maud Win-
terbotham recited a very appropriate
poem.
Mr. John B. Finch visited our
city Thursday of last week and lec
tured in the Opera House in the
evening. He handled tho subject of
intemperance in a stroug, masterly
manner, scoring the auti-prohibition-ists
iu a terrible way, and sweeping
away (so says our reporter) every
argument by them presented, by the
evidence produced in the course of
his lecture He invited the opposi
tion to a public discussion of the
subject at any time, by giving him
due notice. He appears to be
stronger and in belter health than ou
his formor visit to this city, and if
any odds, has improved in the force
and terseness of his lectures.
The installation of officers of
Lebanon Lodge A. F. & A. M., for
the ensuing Masonic term, took place
at their hall on Monday evening, in
presence of quite a large number of
frieuds and invited guests. The
eveuiug's ceremonies were opened
by the siugiug of a beautiful Mason
ic anthem and by prayer. The
officers- installed were as follows:
C. A. Speice, W. 31.; J. D. Brewer,
S. W. ; Julius Rasmuesen, J. W. ; J.
P. Becker, Treas.; J. F. Wermuth.
Sec'y. ; H P. Coolldge, Sr. Deacon ;
I. J. Slattery, Jr. Deacon ; Jno. W.
Early, Sr. Steward ; Gus. Lockuer,
Jr. Steward; M. Weaver, Tyler.
After the impressive installation
ceremony the guests were tendered
the freedom of the hall and invited
to make themselves at home in hap
py social intercourse, which was
accepted with relish, for the ball,
which Ib a magnificently furnished
one, was cosy and warm, and made
a pleasing contrast to the severe
winter night outside.
The Telephone
The Telephone Company that are
operating iu Nebraska desire to pu
their wires in Columbus, and Mr.
John A. Steele, the telegraph opera
tor, is canvassing the city to see
what can be done. The proposed
cost for each instrument furnished
is a rental ot $3 a month. In large
cities, especially, it has been found
to be a valuable adjunct to business,
aud Columbus would find it a good
thin". Just notice, for instance, how
convenient it would be to have the
Journal office connected with every
important business place in town,
aud inquiring on Monday morning
for uews. The voico of the Journal
office connects wilh the County Clerk
and a9ks, "Johu, when can we get
the Commissioners' proceedings, and
have you any notices for this week's
paper?" Connecting with the Treas
urer, "Ji.lm Wesley Early, how
much money has old Platte in her
treasur t.-diy, and what did you
learn wLen at Liucolu last week?"
With J. E. North & Co., along with
one thousand, less or more, other
fellows, yelling at the top of their
voices, "Jim, for pity's sake send me
three tons of coal right away I" With
the A. & N. depot, to know tho state
of the weather and the latest phase
of the Diedtrick contest. With the
TJ. P., to know whether, as reported,
Jay Gould has bought up Mexico
aud the Sandwich Islands. With
the Pacific House, to know when the
new landlord, Mr. Norton, will take
possession. With the Police Judge,
to know who has been fined lately
for drunkenness and gambling and
other delinquencies. With tho cler
gymen, to know the subjects of their
next sermons. With the hotels, to
know the latest arrivals. With the
doctors, to know who is sick. With
the Era office, to know why they
haven't issued a paper since the elec
tion, and when they are going to
begiu, and to Burgess as to wheu he
will start in with that new paper.
Aud all these inquiries answered
without leaving our warm quarters
iu the Journal office.

Although the weather was not as
favorable as could be desired, tho
folks throughout the neighborhood
were so determined to enjoy them
selves that no small occurrence could
keep them from so doing. '
On Christmas eve the elite, as well
as some others, assembled at Bur
rows scliLol-hoiise, where was to he
found a tree that, in beauty grand
eur and loveliness, could hardly be
excelled. Its boughs were actually
bending beneath their weight of
presents, stockings, filled with can
dies, and so on, and the beautiful
light" all over it, presented an ap
pearance really astonishing. The
programme of tho evening consisted
of exercises among which were dec
lamations, dialogues and songs of
an appropriate tenor for the occa
sion ; tho day school, which is under
the supervision of Miss Dack, taking
an active part.
Finally, and somewhat unexpect
edly, in came old Santa Claus, who
was of course greeted with the ut
most kindness, all being familiar
with his errand, who proceeded to
relieve the overladen treeot some ot
its presents, distributing them in a
manner highly pleasing aud gener
ally satisfactory to all.
The chairman of the meeting was
P. W. Henrich. After all was over
the audience retired to their re
spective homes, the little ones
hoping " Santa Tans would tome
aden," and all agreeing that the
evening was most pleasantly spent.

To the business men of Columbus
who made up and presented me with
a very generous purse as a tokeu of
their appreciation of my official 'ser
vices, I desire to return my sincere
thanks. It atlbrds mo much pleasure
to know that our best citiz us are
not unmiudful of the efforts being
made by the Police Department in

my earnes purpose iu the future, as
iu the pasf, to faithfully discharge
the duties of my office, and to exe
cute the trust reposed in me, ac

To My Friends, Mrs. P. and MrB. S.,
of Columbus :
3Iay the blessing of God await

thee; may no sorrows distress thy
days; may no grief disturb thy
nights ; may the pillow of peace kiss
thy cheek, aud when length of years
makes thee tired of earthly jo s,
aud the curtain of Death gently
closes around thy last sleep of hu
man existence, may the Angel of
God attend thy bed and take care
that the expiring lamp of life shall,
not receive one rude blast to hasten
ou ita extinction.
