ness. James Murrin, "with St. Louis

geniality or departing from the de
portment of a gentleman.
The Kendall's concluded an en

Something iu the conduct of the

was still confined to his bed.
Wo are sorry to hear that Chas.
Schroeder has recently lost thirty
five head of cattle by some lung dis
ease. They have had, through the
storms of the winter, good warm
shelter, so that it has not been
through neglect that they died.
A fine gold watch and chain
were presented to B. D. Slaughter,

K. C. Moran of this county, re
turned from his visit to "West Vir

He expressed the opinion that there
will be some emigration from "W.V.,
in the spriug to Nebraska.
The Anciont Order of Hiberni
ans of this place are bouud to make

Columbus as a day of jubilation aud
festivity never before excelled. A
grand parade, addresses upou Ire
land's grievances by eminent speak
ers, and a ball and feast at night are
the main features of the programme.
Messrs. Smith Bros, have on
hands and are laying in a full line
of farm implements. Spring work
for the farm will soon be upon us,
aud the Journal is of opinion that
when it comes it will be all at once,
so that it will be well for farmers to
make preparations in time. When
you are considering what imple
ments you need don't forget to call
on these gentlemen.
One of our correspondents de
sires to express his thanks publicly
to his neighbor's daughters who so
kindly remembered him on St. Val
entine's day. "We put his rerse into

All well members of a family
when sickness enters, should do
everything promptly and cheerfully
to aid the sick member, and render
him or her comfortable in every
way possible. Often young people
do not realize the importanco of
thus acting in the family, eveu
where the head of it is prostrated
by disease but the remedy we
judge is not the bending of the
"twig" while it is young, with the
twig, but a quiet and reasonable
talk, presenting to the mind the true
situation aud the necessity of prompt
aud dutiful action.
It was reported and published
in the newspapers of recent date
that Dr. G. Spoerry of Utah, during
the great snow storm was smothered
to death by the roof of his house
falling in and the suow drift burying
him uuder the ruins. II. T. Spoerry
a resident of this county, aud brother
of Dr. Spoerry, received a letter la? t
week from the Doctor, stating that
he was still living, but had a narrow
escape for his life, having beou bur
ied teu hours uuder the snow drift,
and must have died had not his
Chinaman cook dug him out. One
man died under the same drift be
fore he could bu reached.

A number of persons who at
tended the sociable given by tho
teachers aud pupils last Friday. oveu
ing in School Dist. 13, this city, un
der the principalship of Prof. Mc
Ginitie, expressed themselves pleas
ed with tho entertainment, and cal
culated to result in great benefit to
the scholars. The recitations, read
ings, &c, from H. W. Longfellow
were very creditable to all who
took part in the exercises ; aud the
music by scholars and teachers
showed culture and harmonical
sounds. The tableau of "The three
Fishers," appeared to be tho crown
ing feature with the school chil
dren, judging by the manner of
the expression of their feelings iu
the way of applause.
As the merry maskers at the
"Hookio's" ball Tuesday night wore
gathering at the Opera House for a
night of amusement, by the steady
revolutions of our cylinder press tho
Journal edition was being priuted,
so that a notice in last week'- paper
was impossible. There was not so
large a number in attendance as
upon many previous occasions of the
kiud, but all participating seemed to
enjoy themselves, and in a social
light the ball must be accounted a
success. But our particular object
in a notice at this late hour is to
thank the young lady who repre
sented the Journal. If the pre
cepts of this paper shall ever admit
of such representation, then shall it
be conducted as we would have it.
Gambliug leads to bad habits
aud generally to worse associations.
Young men should avoid the exci
ting amusement by never beginning
it, aud married men who have en
gaged in it, should have strength
of will to quit it at once. It inva
riably leads to other vices and we
want no better evidence of the fact
than the case which recently occur
red in this city with one who has
been induced through the losses
thus sustained to commit a crime
which in his previous life ho would
have shuddered at the mere thought
of doing. By his crime he afilicts a
dear wifo and family. How sad the
picture! Everybody should culti
vate will power, aud make it strong
euough to resist forever the desire
to cugage in it.

Mr. John Harris, the gentleman
who has been engaged in this city
upou the invention of a machine for"
the manufacture of rope and who
since the completion and patenting
of the same has interested himself iu
efforts looking to the establishing of
a factory at this place, is now about
ready to make a practiced tost of the
utility of his invention. A large
machine capable of turning out rope
from clothesline to inch in size at the
rate of 25 to 30 feet a minute has
been built aud placed in S. C. Long
shore's big wind mill building, and
so soon as the yarn which has been
sent for, arrives will be eetin opera
tion. Mr. H. claims that with his
machine, rope can be manufactured
from any description of yarn, and
feels perfectly confident that the test
will demonstrate its perfect success
and practicability iu every respect,
after which ho hopes to be able to
form a stock company here for the
manufacture of rope upon a large
scale, or, with a like object in view,
secure the assistance and capital of
somo individual as a partner with
himself. The Journal has pre
viously spoken encouragingly of an
undertaking of this character, which
if properly managed would no doubt
result in good to the city and county,
and we hope in the near future to be
able to announce as a certainty that
a rope factory will be started here,
and that the enterprise shall have
such a healthy Inception as shall
insure it a position in the front rank
of the busiuess interests of Columbus.

Mr. Kenooth, a resideut of New

ago to go to St. Paul, Minn. Getting
as far as Sioux Citv, was detained
there ever since on account of deep
snow aud no trains running, he
finally returned home to await fine
weather before again undertaking
his viatic proceedings.
It is hoped that a permanent
change in the weather will have a
tendency to make the times more
healthful. The weather at present
seems to be a shade finer and the
sleighing excellent, and the young
folks are having a high old time.
We are of the opiuiou that good
sleighing and social gatherings,
rallies, etc., are favorable to matri
mony, as many of our young men
who seemed to enjoy the distiuctiou
of being staunch bisogamists, have
lately declared that all tho efforts to
resist the wiles and guiles that
women work, are wholly futile and
the result is that old hymen will
reap a bountiful harvest in the near
future.

would not be amiss.
Thoroughly appreciating the splen

delightful of sport sleighing, aud the

jingling far and near, but we fear
it will be woe unto Platte Center,

will be washed down to the Loup.

shedding, gathering corn, plowing
and other fall work. But much
corn still remains in the field aud
much les3 plowing was done than
usual. The severity of the winter
makes fodder 9carce ; moat of the

fed as carefully as hay, and scarce

It is thought that the wiuter indi
cates a good season for crops, but
fears of the chinch bug are enter

Perhaps the Journal or somo of its
