The first day of the new year
was a beautiful, bright, clear and
still winter day ; the sleighiug being
exceptionally good for this climate
was improved by many, and the
merry jingle of the bells, gave a life
and cheer to the streets that would
have been lacking without them.

Sleighing pnrties after the old

been of frequent occurrence here

A ladies' circular and a bed
quilt was recently stolen from a

The Cougregational Mite So
ciety at their meeting last Saturday

on their regular evening to hold at
that time a patriotic sociable. The
decorations, music, readiugs, tab
leaux, etc., to be of a national char
acter. There will be no sociable
next week in view of prospective
religious meetings, which will occu
py the evenings.
N. E. Small returned from Utah
last week where he has breu for the
past three months. He exhibited at
the Journal office some magnifi
cent specimens of the natural cur
iosities that abound in that country.
Among them was a mossagate, that
will weigh at least twenty-five
pounds ; also some fine specimens of
petrified wood, shell rock and for
rest rock. The curiosities were
taken from Silver Creek canon,
Utah. N. E. will remain at home
during the Holidays, after which he
will return to Utah.
A trial between a couple of far
mers living iu the northwestern part
of the county, on the Looking Glass,
occupied three days of last week,
and was tried before Justice Millet t.
The whole neighborhood seemed to
be mixed up iu the litegation which
was over a few bushels of wheat.
The testimony of twelve witnesses
was taken. The result was a judg
ment for the plaintiff for $5.90 aud
costs. If all parties concerned can
be taught anything by experience
they probably realize by this time
that resorting to the law for redress
in small matters is very unsatisfac
tory business.
-The entertainment which was to
have taken place at the Presbyterian
chuicii Friday evening did not come
off', owing to the indisposition of
Miss Loder. The Plattsmouth Her
ald in speaking of the entertainment
at that place says: "Mr. and Miss
Loder gave us one of the best little
entertainments we have had." And
this complimentary of Miss Loder:
"Miss Loder has a beautiful mobile
face. Her hair was combed down
plain on each side of her forehead
and she looked so much like the
girls we used to know, that we fell
in love with her at once. It looked
so pure and honest after the frizzes
and "bangs" of the period."
Wc arc informed by manager
Uunneman that the Opera House
has beeu engaged for Monday and
Tuesday of next week for the great
magician, McAllister, who will give
performauccs upon those evenings.
He also informs us that the well
known and deservedly popular Ket.
dall Combination are booked for
three of the remaining days of the
week, Thursday, Friday and Satur
day. These entertainments were to
have taken place last week, but were
delayed on account of the irregular
ity ot trains, &c, putting the parties
behind with their plans for engagements.
Revival meetings will be-held in
the Congregational church during
the eveniugs of npxl week. Assist
ance will be given from abroad. It
is the pastor's desire that all the
members who have at heart the
welfare ot the church, the success of
the cau-e, nod the improvement of
the mora's of Columbus, will give
their influence tor these meetings,
and be iu attendance often as possi
ble. Christians, you have duties
regarding Christ's work in this place
will you act your part well, and
help the churches to do something
for Christ? or, will you bury your
talent and let God's cause suffer
thereby? e. l. s.
A correspondent from the vicii -ity
of Bean's school house writes to
the Journal giving the particulars
of what he styles an accident ; the
occurrence is hardly of sufficient
importance for a newspaper item, as
it seems no person was injured, but
we give space to the main facts de
tailed out of admiration for the
pluck and persevorence displayed
by the young man who is the sub
ject of the little sketch. It appears
that a young gallant of the neigh
borhood, to take advantage of the
sleighing, for his own benefit aud
also that of his lady friends, made
himself a sleigh. His first ride re
sulted iu a run-away and consequent
wreck of his handiwork, the sleigh ;
but he appears not to have bien dis
couraged nor to have faltered in his
determination to give the girls a
ride, but promptly went to work to
repair the breaks. Then, securing
the company of lady friends he
started with themto church. (Here
we must condemn the young mau's
judgment ; he should have taken one
at a time) but a break down occurr
ing on the way, a part of the dis
tance was made ou foot, and while
the ladies were attending services
the gallant was repairing the sleigh,
which feat he accomplished in time
to take them safely home.

En Journal: As stated in your
issue of the 22d ult., the anti-prohibition
committee was invited to
provide a man to discuss the ques
tion of prohibition with J. B. Finch
on the 23d, to which the followiug
answer was received: "Hnd the
invitation reached us at an earliei
day, we would have been pleased to
have furnished a man to have met
aud discussed the question of pro
hibition with Mr. Finch. Very
respectfully, Geo. V. Hines, chair
man anti-prohibition committee."
Iu view of the apparent willing
ness of the anti-prohibition com
mittee to di6CU3s the question, aud
that there may be no failure Mr.
Finch desired me to make the fol
lowing proposition : 1st. At any
time the anti-prohibitionists will
provide a man and give me two days
notice, Finch will meet him in Co
lumbus for a joiut discussion. 2d.
In order that no reasonable ground
for failure may be left, Finch pro
poses that should they conclude they
had no able man here and send for
one, Finch will pay one-half of such
mau's railroad fare to Columbus.
Aud now, Mr. Editor, if there i
any right and wrong to this ques
tion, as American citizens and as
men, would it not be well for us to
discuss it, and then decide like men,
who, seeing the right, dare maintain
it. Respectfully,
E. A. Gerrarii.

The reporter would call attention
to the remarkable weather of the
past month, particularly since the
ICth ult., the suu being scarcely vis
ible for a period of two weeks,
which, coupled with intense cold and
stormy winds," has made one fancy
he was dwelling in some other coun
try than Nebraska. Observation
extending over a great scope of
country aud for a period of several
years has demonstrated the fact that
every month has its belt or zone of
winds, followed by storms or fair
weather; therefore, iu order to en
courage ray readers to observe for
themselves, I shall hereafter, uuder
the head of probabilities for next
month, give the courses of the winds
likely to be followed by stormy or
fair "weather. For the month of
January these are for stormy weath
er from NE. to S. E., and for fair

In Memory of Our Little Frankie.
Be soft thy repose, darling,
Afar from thy parents' fond arm?.
Another shall watch thy cold pillow,
Another shall soothe thy alarms.
Gone! Gone! in the May time, dear
Frankie,
Thou hast left us thy loss to deplore:
Gone, xle, like a strain of soft music
Whose sweetness shall charm lis. no
more.
Fond memory steals with light footsteps
And hallows all left us of thine
To a toy, to a link of fair tresses,
Yoiirclioriis of remembrances twine.
But He who tirt gave, then did take thee
And blessed be His name it is love
And shall your fond parents deny thee
The arms'of a Savior aboeJ
So here to His love and safe keeping
The child of our love we restorw
In realms of no sadness, no parting,
We'll meet to be parted no more.
Mr. and Mrs. Will I'ickly.
