Miss Emma Anderson accom
panied her father to Omaha, the
fore part of last week, where she is
employed taking care of her sick
mother and sister, Mrs. Spielman,
who are at the Canfiold House, re
ceiving medical treatment under Dr.
Cofl'man, who has the reputation of
being one of the best physicians in
the west.
On Thursday last two gaps were
made by the water, in the Platte
river bridge, south of this city, tak
ing away eight spans of it, which,
however, at last accounts was safely
held in the ice. The middle part of
the bridge, and the two approaches
are standing. The County Commis
sioners met here Monday, to see
what could be done in the matter.
The ladies who prepared the
supper on the 17th In connection
with the A. O. H. ball and in aid of
Land League fund, tender their
grateful thauks to the following
gentlemen for their kind co-operation

worth, F. Gerber and Alfonso
Heintz, and also would herein re-,
turn thanks to all who patronized
the supper and ball.
A boat was sent over Monday
to look after the welfare of Saml.
Rickly and a man working-with him
on the islaud south of this city,some
apprehensions had been felt for the
safety of their cattle, and for the
comfortable subsistence of the men.
Tbe cattle were standing on a high
knoll, up to their middle in water;
the men were all right, having pro
vided for themselves.
The Genoa Leader has a corres
pondent who wishes to know about
concrete houses, their expense com
pared with wood, &c The editor
refers him to the newspapers of
Columbus for information. This is
hardly necessary, because Genoa has
a citizen, Mr. Cowles, who is thor
oughly well informed on that sub
ject, knows it from A. to Z. Stand
up to the black-board, Mr. Uowles,
and let us hare a demonstration.
"We are informed that Wm. H.
Monger, of Fremont, to whom was
referred the case of Messrs. Gorrard
& Wbitmoyer vs. Platte Co., for the
collection of delinquent taxes of
1873 from the B. & M. It. R. Co., on
their lands, under a contract alleged
to have been made with the Co.
Commissioners, has decided against
the claim, on the ground that, under
the law, there could be no such con
tract. The amount claimed was
about $1500.
Tom Stewart went up to St.
Edwards Thursday evening last. He
will take charge of the trotting
horses owned by the Nebraska Land
and Live Stock Company, of which
Mr. Pierson D. Smith of Chicago is
President. The stock are on the
large farm known as the Adam
Smith farm, near St. Edwards, and
are some of the best bred horses in
the west. "Tommy" knows all the
points of a trotter, and with "bis
skillful handling are bound to "go
to the frout" in fine style.
Hallowell & Cuburn, Boston
wool commision merchants, quote
Nebraska and Kansas wools, at 15
to 20 cts. for fine, and 20 to 25 for
medium. Dealers, they say, mani
fest an urgent desire to sell, aud
manufacturers a corresponding re
luctance to purchase, and as a result
the market closes weak and unset
tled. The. 'market throughout is
reported one cent less, and in some
cases two cents per pound lower.
We remark that this Ib invariably
the case about this time of the year.
An exchange has the following
paragraph: "A school teacher in
Berks county, Pennsylvania, is said
to have whipped fifty-eight pupils
and had fights with 17 fathers since
the first of November. During the
holidays he breaks colts and bunts
wolves." If this is not true, we call
upon the editor of the Gazelle at
Bristol to make the proper correc
tion. If true, we would like to have
a brief biography of that "master,"
because there are several "dees
tricks" in our knowledge where he
might be made serviceable.
The entertainment given by the
phenomenal instrumentalist, Celeste,
on Monday evening at the Maenner
chor Hall, was listened to by a
crowded house.who wero vary much
pleased, not only with the wonder
ful feats of the artist, but also with
her great musical genius, aud re
markable skill in rendering difficult
selections. By good judges' she is
declared to be a greater prodigy
than the famous Blind Tom, who
has excited the wonder of the civ
ilized world for years past. Celeste,
blind-folded, with her ears filled
with cotton, and a'sbawl thrown
over the key-boards, yet educes good
music from two instruments, at the
same time.
The last Boone County Argus
gives an account of a woman by the
name of Mrs. John Lee perishing in
a recent snow storm. It has been
thought for some time that she was
insane, and in one of her irrational
moods, that she left her home with
her children. Robert Patterson and
Robert Roberts were passing about
half a mile from the house, when
they heard cries of distress from
children, and on going in the direc
tion wheuce the sounds proceeded,
found Mrs. Lee and her children out
in the storm. The men divested
themselves of their overcoats, wrap
ped them around the freezing chil
dren and took them to a haystack in
the immediate vicinity for shelter.
When they returned for the mother,
they found her dead.
The farmer's work will bo piled
up iu a heap, and it becomes him to
do now every possible thing that the
extreme lateness of the spring will
allow him to do, such as getting ma
chinery in order, etc., because the
very strong probability is. that when
spring does come vegetation will
will spring up as by magic. Jacob
Ernst tells us that the year he came
here, there was snow in the bluffs
north of Columbus, on the 26th day
of May, and that the season was a
very prolific one, everything plan
ted growing rapidly and producing
very abundantly. Mr. Anderson's
advice in this week's Journal is in
all respects good, but some of it, res
pecting farm work in Feb. and
March, is scarcely applicable this
year, unless, indeed, the remaining
days of this month should be ex
traordinarily warm and flue.
St. Patrick's Day.
The friends of the good green isle
had made ample arrangements for a
grand gala day on the 17th and
they would have had one of the
finest of demonstrations had it
not been for the weather. As it was,
there were a large number of people
in the city, but the impassable con
dition of the railroads between this
and Omaha prevented the Douglas
Co. Division from coming, to par
ticipate in the parade designed for
the forenoon, which was a great
disappointment of course. In all
other respects, however, in the mu
sic of the Cornet Band, in the ball
which took place in the evening,
and the sumptuous sapper prepared
by the ladies, there was nothing left
to wish for. There was universal
satisfaction and pleasure, and we are
glad to learn that the net proceeds
were such as to keep the smile upon
the good-natured faces of the participants.
The Flood.
The flood of tho last few days has
proved quite an inconvenient thing
to many of our citizeus living on the
low lands.
At Schuyler they improvised what
they were pleased to call a flet,
electing Mr. Clarkson admir.al. II iv
ing little experience as a wuter
craftsman, he abdicated in favor of
Wra. Brown. Several families liv
ing on the low lands were escorted
to safe residences.
Coming westward, we hear of a
number of incidents. Robert Mo-
Pherson's house was three feet in
water, and several small farms in
the neighborhood were entirely
submerged.
Jacob Maple, though within a
quarter of a mile of plenty of sub
merged hay, oflTered $100 for four
tons for his stock.
James Hauey had at his place 150
bead of stock besides his own,
driven into his hospitable boundary
by endangered neighbors.
Charles Rickly has a cattle ranche
betweeu the Loup aud the Platte,
near their confluence Along in the
evening of Thursday last something
came against the door of the shanty
in which were Sam. Rickly and Joe.
Miller. On examination it was
found to be tbo tongue of their
wagon, floated to them. They got
into the wagon, Joe. took up his
fiddle and Sam. danced a jig, tho
boys being determined not to lot St.
Patrick's day slip by without some
appropriate recognition. They made
their bed in the wagon that night.
The bottom between the Loup and
Platte river wagon bridges was cov
ered Monday with three to four feet
of slush ice. Some of the detached
spans of the Platto bridge were
found safe, flat on the prairie, while
others were Been down along the
"coast."
Mr. Barnum'a family moved out,
so we hear, at 2 o'clock Monday
morning, as have others in the neigh
borhood there goiug to Jackson.
If the ice should gorge at all the
bridges in this vicinity, throwing
the waters of the stream out of its
bed, it would certainly make bad
work, but such an event can only be
regarded as among the barely pos
sible things.
Platte Center.

John Macken received a fine new
billiard tablo for his saloon this
week. Kirk and Ted lead the van
as players.
Mrs. Dunlap started back for her
old home in Delaware county, Iowa,
Tuesday morning. She evidently
did not relish our Nebraska blizzards.
Terence Brady, who moved to
Omaha a few months ago, came up
on Friday evening. It is understood
that he will again make the Center
his home, in a month or two.
The you ng folks had an enjoyable
time at Dinneeu's school house on
St. Patrick's eve, consisting of danc
ing and social intercourse. Frank
Coleman furnished his nsual excel
lent music.
The pupils of Mr. Day's school
district No. 4, gave a closing exhibi
tion last Saturday evening, consist
ing of singing, readings, dialogues,
etc. A very pleasant time was spent
by those in attendance.
Dr. Edwards mourns the loss of
some of bis fine chickens. A suit
will be brought before Justice Tas-
ker for petit larceny, Mr. Tedrow
being retained by the plaintiff and
laugban for the defendent. The
defendent will try the insanity dodge
on which issue Mr. M. thinks he can
clear his client. M.
DIED.
DUNLAP. At Omaha, on Thuraday
March 17th, Harold Dunlap, aged lfi yrs.
The deceased was a nephew of Mrs.
J. II. Reed of this vicinity.
GIBSON In Columbus, March 17th,
1881, after an illness of two days, Alex
ander Henry Gibson, aged 45 years and
10 months.
Mr. Gibson was born in Scotland. He
had lived In the neighborhood of Co
lumbus for the past ten years, gaining
the esteem of all who became acquaint
ed with him. Faithful and upright in
all the relations of life, whether as hus
band, father, neighbor or citizen, all
will mourn his loss. Mr. Gibson had
for years been afflicted with lung dis
ease, and the writer hereof, who saw
him when he came to Nebraska, heard
him express himself as doubtful of liv
ing through the succeeding winter, his
affliction had then so strong a hold upon
him. His life, however, was prolonged
ten years, and he was able in that time
to do much work, being an industrious
man, and very energetic for one so
afflicted. Peace to his memory.
REAGAN On the 11th of Feb., 1881.
Mr. John Reagan, of Platte Co., Neb.
Mr. Reagan had been unwell since last
harvest, but about two weeks before his
death he took a severe cold which set
tled upon his lungs and ended his life.
Mr. R. leaves a wife and five small chil
dren to mourn his loss.
"Death to him did short warning give;
Therefore be careful how you live.
I am not dead, but sleeping here;
My weeping friends I left behind.
I had no time to speak mv mind
God called for me when He tho't best."
