Ernst, successors to Srhutte & Pohl, have on hands a large supply of agricultural imple ments, and are makiug preparations to supply all demands. Look out for an advertisement next week. Mr. John Nafkwlio lately offi niatpil as onorator at the A. & N. depot has beeu promoted to a more lucrative position at Atchison. His place is filled by Mr. J. "W. Eisen huth, receutly from Pcnusylvauia. The first lightning of the spring in this region was on Thursday evening lat at about 7 o'clock. These little variations are worthy of mention as showing what can be done iu the line of weather in the half-way state. St. Patrick's day celebr.-itiou to morrow. A grand parade in the forenoon, to be followed by speeches at the Opera House by eminent Omaha gentlemen, aud a ball and supper to wind up with in the even ing is the programme. This country has two distin guished comedians, Owens and Kay- mond, but they do not live in Platte county, and their given names are not "Frank" and "Shep." Recent events lead us to think that this fact may be news to some. Owing to contemplated removal "Wm. Hunneman offers for sale a good milch cow, horse, harness and phaeton, and several other articles ; he will also cell his residence at a low price, and ou reasonable terms. Inquire of AVm.

Tiffany is making cal culations to go to the Indian Ter ritory the coming summer to engage extensively in the cattle business. Lute North came down from the ranch Thursday: He left the stock doing as well aa could be expected considering the severity of the wluter. Yesterday was the day set for the convening of the district court in Platte county. The Judge did not put in an appearance in time to couvene at that time, however. D. D. Wadsworth exhibits a very neat model of the rachet prin ciple applied to tighten a bur on a bolt. Thy rachet is placed with the bur, and grooves cut along the bolt. To the Captain has fallen a good share of the inveutive genius. We saw a very neatly printed certificate Monday which entitles our chief of police to membership in the U. S. Police Association of Syracuse, N. Y. By such member ship our police force are entitled to do considerable outside work which otherwise they could not handle. The Jouiinal job department has recently turned out three briefe for "W. S. Gcer, Esq., who is having quite a practice before the Supreme Court of the State. There is no doubt but the Judge is fully aware when he has a good grip upon a law point, and be is not apt to let go of it, cither. The letter press at the U. P. de pot office with the bed or platform of half-inch solid iron well braced, literally broken through both bed and braces, by the pressure put on at the wheel, would seem to indi cate that a "heap" of muscle not out wardly perceptible must be covered by the clothes of some of the boys. John Huber was keeping close watch of a fellow last Wednesday, simply because a horse had recently been stolen in Colfax county, which answered pretty well the descrip tion of that on which the stranger rode, and besides, his actions wore a very suspicious face for an entirely innocent granger boy. When John pounces he generally knows his "bird." Clarence Newman who was elected last fall to the supposed office of Clerk of the District Court, in forms us that 'ho wishes everybody to distinctly understand that their Clerk, he will not, he cannot be, be cause the Supreme Court of the State have decided that the office cannot be filled till 1883. There was a frieudly test case submitted to the Court- Another snow storm set in Mon day morning about 3 o'clock, the wind being in the southeast, an un precedented thing, so far as we are able to learn. Our rains in the spring are generally from that direction, but the coldness of our atmosphere on account of the great amount of snow is probably the cause of turn ing this moisture into suow. Any how it is here as we write (Monday) after as fine a day and as blue a sky as one wishes to see. The high waters of the past week resulted in making the con nections of railroad trains very un certain, causiue no little inconven ience to travelers and shippers and general unpleasant and vexatious results in the delay of mails. No trains came down from the west Saturday and from the east connec tions were stopped for a time, owing to water on the track between AmeB and Fremont which prevented the running of engines. On Monday the express was again making con nections, though considerably be hind, transportation across the flood ed country to the east being made by teams and wagons. No trains have been able to reach this point from Lincoln over the A. & N. since Fridav. the Platte bridge having partly washed away. It is expected that trouble from this source has but barely begun. It will be remembered that sev eral years ago a case of horse steal ing occurred In Platte county, R. G. Applegarth, living near Genoa, los ing a couple of horses. Two bro thers by the name ol Flour were arrested for the crime. They had their hearing before H. J. Hudson who was then a justice of the peace, and were bound over to appear before the district court, and suc ceeded in finding bail. They did not put in an appearance before the district court, and we believe that no decided action was taken at the time, nor has there since been anything done, for what reason we do not know. But it appears that the mat ter is now to be pushed and it would seem that if the law is to be vindi cated, some final disposition of the matter should be made. Officer He Mahon is in possession of facts that show that the whereabouts of the Flour brothers is well known, as also one of the stolen horses. FATAL ACCIDENT. A Young Lady is Killed by the Fall ing in of the Roof of her Sleep ing Apartment. On Sunday last Dr. M. D. Thurs ton and wife and siatcr-iu-law left the city for Kearney to attend the funeral of Miss Cordelia Waite, daughter of J. B. Waite of that city, and a sister of Mrs. Thurston. The deceased was a young lady 22 years of age, and came to her death on Friday last in a manner particularly sad, which will make her loss all the more distressing to her relatives and friends. It ap pears that she was engaged in teach ing school.about 14 .miles from Elm Creek, and that her sleeping apart ment at her boarding place was a sod addition to a frame building, the roof of which gave way some time during the night after she had re tired to bed, crushing her to death. The accident was not discovered until the next morning, when the corpse of the poor girl was found among the debris with one of the heavy timbers of the roof lying across her chest. Shell Creek Goswip. Spelling schools at Postville have about gone iuto bankruptcy. James Butler is about to erect a blacksmith shop near his residence. Miss Sadie Dunlap has been sick with the mumps for the la9t week. We are sorry to say that Mrs.Mike Doody, jr., is in a very low state of health. Wm. Patterson drove t.welve miles through the blindiug " blizzard " of last week. Daniel Reagan and Miss Kittio Ryan were married March 1st by Rev. Father Flood. John Moffit of Columbus and Miss Ellen Gleason of Platte Center were married on the first of March. Miss Ada Farrell has gone to Adair, Iowa, ou a visit, and Miss Ada's many friends will be louesome during her absence. Commissioner Rivet canuot be in duced to buy a buggy, but thinks a sleigh would be convenient if win ter is to last forever. There is yet a large amount of corn to husk, owing to the very early and heavy snows. Patrick Fahey has about sixty acres out. The young folks in Shell Creek enjoyed one of the most sociable aud successful "soirees" of the season on Tuesday evening of last week. James Galligan, while out hunt ing the other day, started up two rabits from the same place, and kill ed them at one shot. This is equal to his success at raffles. Dennie Maher, while returning home from a spelling school, got two of his toes froze, which he now says he can sport as a poor reward of merit for his good spelling. Jno. Barry of Newman's grove, who is noted for bis skill in catch ing wild horses on the plains of Col orado, has sold the large herd he brought, and is about to return for more. Since the legislature has done its part towards giving to women the right to vote, our bachelors who cal culate on running for office are declaring themselves in favor of equal suffrage. Pat. Noonan, a most enthusiastic bachelor, says: "thunder take the hawks," while feeding his chickens the other day one carried off two of his best pullets at one clatter, right before bin eyes. Married, ou the 23th ult., at Shell Creek church, by Rev. Father Flood, James Boyle of Columbus and Miss Annie Gogan of Shell Creek. They are passing the honeymoon among their friends in the valley. Since Lent has somewhat impeded the progross of matrimony, court ing, etc., some of our anile country baches say they will go into town next week, where courting will be more legally administered, and that to the figure of the law. Frank Rivet, an old resident of Shell Creek who went to George town, Col., last fall, writes home that there is five feet of snow aud the thermometer 40 degrees below zero yet. It is sheltered so much with pine timber that you never get a breeze of wind, and can work very comfortably out of doors. Miss Lightner, teacher iu district 44, while returning home through the 'storm of last Weduesday, got lost and happened to meet her brother-in-law, who was making his first visit to the country, who was also bewildered in the storm. By chance they reached the house of John Degan, where they were hos pitably entertained. At a party recently given at the residence of James Cooney, while one Mr. W. was enjoying a game of cards, Cooney's hired man went out and removed his team to a wagon nearer the house. W. going out and finding his team gone, in angry dex terity jumped on ahorse belonging to Mr. M. to go in search of his team and the party who bad them out ; a few minutes later M., learning his horse was gone, accompanied him self with three or four boys and a quartette of young ladies, and took J's.team out in pursuit of his fellow explorers, to bunt up his horse ; the snow was deep and both pursuing parties got lost and were out for sev eral hours nevertheless the night was fide and all hands enjoyed a good time. The girls hope Mr. J. will get his team up in better trav eling order by the next dance, that they are solicited to enjoy a sleigh ride at. Shell Cbeek Rover. Two Very Imporlunt and Sim ple Keiucdle lor Man h1 Beast. The first pertaius to livestock, par ticularly cattle. At this time of year, especially this season when feed is scarce, many poor animals suffer from lice. The National Live stock Journal, the best authority on stock matters perhaps in tbo whole world, every month answers ques tions for its subscribers, giving rem edies for different diseases of stock. In the March number the celebrated veterinary surgeon, Dr. Paarcn, gives some advice regarding the plague of lice on cattle. Cleanliness of the stable and body of the animal and a good dusting of woodashes. is the burden of his instructions. How ever good all that may be, the writer of this has found by experience a more simple and effective remedy. He keeps a salt trough, to which all his stock running loose has access. Here he places as often as required salt that has mixed into it sulphur, say one pound of the latter to ten of the former. Ho then wets it with water and it then forms into a hard mass which the stock lick. A few head of his cattle were troubled with lice, one poor cow so badly that he feared for her life, but very soon after getting to the salt and sulphur she and all the rest were perfectly clean. The second, and by far the most useful of the two remedies, I find in a German medical journal. I have not tried it, but a number of cases are montioued where it has relieved (not cured) the most unfortunate ones of mankind, viz: epileptics: As soon as the patient feels the pro ceeding symptoms (aura epileptica) come on, ho has to take and swallow a mouthful of common kitchen salt. It is asserted that in every cise it has prevented the attack. If that proveB to be the case many an un fortunate one will thank the Jotut xal for the communication. A. Henkicii. - Creuton Cmmx. Not having seen anything in your valuable paper from this place for some time, one would suppose we were either frozen to death or blown out of the country; but such is not the fact; we are still here and are likely to be for some time, unless Mother Shiptou takes us away. Suppose the people of' Columbus were aware they had a storm last week, and we had' a light breeze up this way with some of the "old womans feathers" mixed in. Our staunch friend R. C. Moran recently returned from a visit to the Panhandle state. Mr. Col. Robert Moran has erected a very nice dwell ing house; the nicest we know of in the country. Our schools are in a flourishing condlllon.'and generally well attend ed, even through the stormiest weather. Mr. John Scudder, jr., is teaching the west Creston Bcbool, and is doing good work, we believe. The parents seem to be deeply in terested iu the education of their children in this and surrounding communities, and I feel it a duty to offer my thanks to the good parents of ray district (Sherman) for the in terest they have taken in the school this winter. My school has averaged during the three past months, eigh teen. Parents, this is the kind of spirit teachers like to see in you. We thank and praise you for all your kindness to us who have so many difficulties to contend with while teaching. People are generally contemplat ing good crops this year, and we truly hope they will realize all they expect with the interest amounting to as much as the past two years crops added. Respectfully, Zebby. DIpktherla. Cure. Mr. J. H. Watts of this county, whom we have kuown for years as a truthful, reliable man, tells us of a cure for diphtheria that he thinks ought to be universally known, and applied when that fearful disease makes its attack. The medicine he speaks of he says was prepared years ago by his own family physician in Dupage Co., 111., Dr. HIatt, who was for nine years the family physician of Mr. Watts. He says that he has known of two hundred cases treated with this medicine, and never once a failure to cure ; that it works like magic, and with it at hand, diphthe ria (commonly recognized as a very dangerous malady) is not so harm ful as an ordinary "cold." We are informed that one of our druggists will shortly be prepared to furnish the remedy to those who may call for it. Editor Journal: I understood one of our county commissioners to say in last week's Journal that there had been no report made of the six rows of trees on north sec tion and half section lines. I per sonally know that one or more of the assessors have made report thereof according to law. Farmer. -. Letter L,It.
