The Genoa Leader says : Mrs.
Polly Young, of this place, and
mother of our townsman G. S.
Young, is about to receive a pension,
as a widow of a veteran soldier of
the war of 1812. She is now in her
89th year, and this dearly earned
pension will come in very well at
her advanced age.
The paper mill at West Point is
using a large quantity of flax straw,
and farmers within hauling distance
are reaping a benefit. This is what
builds up a community, utilizing that
which otherwise goes to waste;
finding or makiug home uses for
home products; developing the nat
ural resources of the country.
A horse blanket belonging to A.
W. Dolatid was stolen from the
precinsts of the Congregational
church Sunday last. Jno. McMahon
secured it Monday, in a stable near

have stolen that and other articles
lately missing, will be watched
hereafter, and will doubtless be
brought into the clutches of the law.
The West Point Progress says:

At an adjourned meeting of

Messrs. Hulst & Price have made
the necessary arrangements, and
will shortly have iu operation in this
city a ten-horse power steam feed
mill. The demand for ground and
chopped feed by the many stock
feeders of this place is large, aud we
are pleased to note that it is about to
be supplied at home. The enter
prise is a good oue, aud the invest
ment will no doubt prove a paying
one.
The following cure for hog
cholera which we clip from an ex
change is said to have been tried
and proved to be efficacious : A
tablesnoonful of flax seed for each
hog, boiled iu water three or four
hours and mixed with the food of
the animal. One man reported that
he doubled the doe with good re
sults. This is a very'simple remedy,
and farmers will do well to remem
ber it when the necessity arises."
M. V. Olney of Buller count',
has a cow five years old that has had
six calves, in four years, the last two
years bringing two sets of twins.
The beauty about the business is
that the cow is owned by Mr. 01
ney's son, having been purchased as
a present for him, and he will not
dispose of her. If her progeny con
tinue to increase at the same rate
Mr. Olney will be compelled to re
tire, aud leave the son to his own
devices.
We heard it remarked that last
Tuesday the business aspect, life and
activity displayed in the vicinity of
Anderson's stock-yards resembled,
on a small scale, that at the Union
Stock Yards of Chicago. More than
twenty teams were unloading their
freight of hogs, corn and hay at one
time. Certainly Anderson is to be
commended for his untiring energy,
activity and business capacity, and
it is these qualities that build up a
community, aud bring business from
afar.
Mr. Geo. J. Andorson, the the-,
atrical gentleman who, aided by
home talent gave a Columbus aud
ience the drama of "The Octoroon"
three nights of last week, went to
Seward Saturday, where we under
stand he will undertake a similar en
terprise. The writer of this could
iu days gone by have given him a
"pointer" on the talent of Seward,
but now can only refer him to the
editor of the Reporter, as an enthu
siastic critic upon any subject from
theology to theatricals.
The revival meetings at the Con
gregational church, led by Mr. K. A.
Burnell are largely attended and
quite interesting. Bible reading
each afternoon, and preaching ser
vice in the evening. Children's
meeting every alternate afternoon:
The singing of Mr. Marshall add
considerably to the interest. Mr.
Burnell has been engaged iu "revi
val work" a number of years, but
Mr. Marshall is just beginning. The
public are iuvited to attend all the
meetings, and christian workers, of
any denomination, are especially
urged to lend their influence for the
success ot the effort.
I. os.x by Fire.
On Saturday last Hudson .lur
dock, whose residence is in Mo .roe
precinct, this county, lost his dwelling-house,
and all its contents, by
tire. The family were at Genoa,
having left eveiytlnng at home safe,
as they thought, but when they re
turned all was burned up, including
furniture, organ, all of the clothing
except what the family had on, and
the entire contents of the house.
From the appearance of the cook
stove (which contained all the fire
that was left in the house), it seemed
probable that the fire might have
originated by an explosion. Before
leaving the house, some fresh coal
was put on the fire, and the stove
closed. It is possible that gas
enough was generated to throw the
door opn, and scatter live coils
upon the floor. We are iufoinied
that the loss will reach at least $150,
against which there is an insurance
of $200.
.
Concrete IloUMex.
It is to be hoped that more of
these houses will be built in the
future, being so easily put up, so
durable and so cheap. There are
now in Platte county six of these
houses, some of them erected eight
years ago, and all giviug good satis
faction. A man of ordinary intelli
gence can construct the walls him
self; hiring a carpenter and a
plasterer to do the remainder of the
work, and his house is completed, at
a much less cost than ninny may
imagine. We are moved to speak of
this matler at present because we
learn from Mr. Kinney, who put up
a concrete house the past summer,
that he is very much pleased with it.
Not having kept a strict account, ne
is not able to give its cost, but he
save much less than M00, and it is
18x20 feet, two stories high, with the
wall twelve iuches thick in tho first
story and ten in the second. He
used cement or water lime, onlv iu
he foundation. We have no he-iiu-
tiou in recommending this kin I of
house to those who contemp. lie
building.

The itlunnercliur Coneprl.
The concert givon by the Co...ai
bus Mjennerchor last Saturday even
ing at their hall iu this city was well
attended, aud to an unprejudiced and
impartial hearer, discoursed music
of a high order, and in a manner far
ahead of ordinary home musical
talent. We do not profess to be a
critic iu this department, aud the
only way we judge of music U the
effect and thrill it produces in what
we possess of a musical nature, and
we must be permitted to say that
some of the music discoursed Sat
urday evening thrilled and pierced
every musical chord ot our make-up,
and thus we judge of its quality.
Don't understand us to make invid
ious distinctions among those who
sang and those who made the in
struments taik, for all did well and
nobly their parts, but we did want
to say that we doubt whether there
is another home association in the
State that can discourse as good
music as was heard at the MaMiner
chor hall Saturday evening, aud we
iucline to the belief that the audience
will agree with ih, but if uot, it is a
free country, and we shall never
withdraw the expression of our
opinion of the music of that concert.
False Rumors.
Editor Journal, Sir: Permit me
to say a few words in reference to
the death of Charles Sylvian,the col
ored man found dead in his bed in
the Jail, Monday morning, the 10th
inst. Rumors were persistently
mouthed on the streets. I also see
the same slanderous statement in
some of the local papers that Chules
Sylvian was frozeu to death through
the neglect of the sheriff and jailor.
The coroner's inquest and verdict of
the jury will furnish the true an
swer aud refutation to this slander
ous rumor, circulated for personal,
and political purposes. Were it not
for the bad impression that might
be made outside of our community
I should not have sought space in
your paper to attempt a refutation
of the charge of neglect or cruelty
to prisoners on my part, for none
that know me, that wish to speak
the truth, (either prisoners or offi
cials) but will attest that an abund
ance of food and bedding is always
furnished the unfortunates commit
ted to my charge. The coroner
.found a large quantity of food in
the cell that Sylvian had laid aside
iu a newspaper that he had been
unable to consume, also four pair of
blankets, and three quilts, and proof
that a fire had been kept all night.
I think the true motive of the charge
is clearly established when it is
knowu that a cabal was held iu one
of our saloons, and threatB of lynch
ing the sheriff and myself were pro
posed. What for, forsooth? Be
cause of the virtuous indignation of
the concocters of the vile scheme!
Nay I nay! these men were never
guiltv of an excess of humanity to
wards any except themselves.
Chas. Wake,
Dep'y Sheriff and Jailer.

A Card.
To the ladies and gentlemen who
so ably sustained the different parts
in "The Octoroon": I tender my
sincere thanks, and wish to say that
the artistic manner iu which you
rendered each of the difficult parts
far exceeded anything that I had
been led to anticipate, and I hope
that I shall have the pleasure of
meeting you all again, under more
favorable auspices. In the mean
time I remain very respectfully,
Geo. J. Anderson.
"The Octoroou" at the Opera
House three nights of last week by
home talent, drew small but .elect
audicuces each evening. The fact
of a light attcudauce was not due
to the performance not being ap
preciated, lor there was but little
change in the audience from the
first night to the last, nearly all who
witnessed the first night's perform
ance continuing their attendance the
other two. Mr. Anderson undoubt
edly understands his profession and
is a good instructor, the only crit
icism we could oiler beiug that his
voice does not "support well his
ability as an actor. Mr. G. W. Bow
man iu the character of Jacob Mc
Closky, the villian of the plot, did
some excellent acting. The char
acter of Geo. Pejion was very well
sustained by H. J. Purr, though
playing the sentimental to an aud
ience of fimie than one, does not
seem to he Harry's best hold. In
the diameter of Wau-No-Tee," the
avenging red-skin, Walter Phillips
was good. S. C. Huut took the
character of "Old Pete," the darkey,
'too old to work. Sib ; riug-boned,
spavened, and hide-bound"' as he
says, with his usual good success
in comic characters. Miss Lou.
Hudson in the character of Z je, the
Octoroon girl, Mrs. G. G. Bow
man as Dora Sunnyside, a southern
belle, upon whom the criticism is
passed, "pretty, but no brain," Mrs.
T. T. Robinson as Mrs. Peyton, all
did well. These, the principal char
acters, were very well sustained by
the balance of the cast.
It is affirmed by the experience
ot many farmers who have cultivat
ed and farmed the prairie lauds that
when the ground is prepared in
good order for planting the corn,
that a pint ot good manure mix
ed iu tho soil of ench hill, or
rather placed in the soil under the
hill, will produce larger ears, more
of them, and much more good corn
and stalks than without it. Farmers
who have tried it, have no hesitation
iu affirming that, by this method,
from l." to 20 bushels more per acre
can he produced. Farmers who
have not tried the experiment, can
test fhe truth of it on a small scale,
by planting a few hills in this way,
and watching the result. Our atten
tion was called to this subject by
reference to an article in the last
September number of the American
Agriculturist, on page 1110, where
the reader will find an interesting
article, which will richly pay him for
the time spent in the rending.

The meetiusr at the Congrega
tional church will continue another
week, and it is expected that Messrs.
Burnell and Marshall will also re
main. Christians of Columbus let
us for a few days give special atten
tion to religious things. Wc our
selves need the influence of special
efforts. Our families need it, and
surely the community needs some
energetic and thorough work in this
direction. Come to the meetings, of
whatever name you may be, and
give a helping hand to the work.
