the chute, the hogs were run into it
every night, and became so well
edncated in the routine of loading
and unloading that latterly Ander
son avers all he had to do was to
open car and chute doors, jump on
the fence and order his hogs to bed,
and at once there would be a general
scramble for the car it being well
bedded, the hogs were over anxious
to escape from the cold wet yards
into it.

In answer to a correspondent
the Inter-Ocean has the following to
Bay concerning the Texas itch. We
hear of several cases of this very
contagious disease in the northern
part of this county, and it is very
desirable to know what to do when
a horse is attacked: "Mange and
itch are diseases of a similar charac
terboth caused by the presence of
an itch parasite (acari). This malady
has been known to exiet centuries
ago, and is as liable to occur in auy
of the Northern Slates as Texas. It
is, however, a highly contagious dis
ease, and there is very little doubt
that the diseased Texas ponies have
been the means of communicating
the disease to horses that come in
contact with them. The following
formula is highly recommended for
the cure of the disease: Delphini
slapbisagrias, 2 oz. ; lard, 8 oz. ; olive
oil, 1 oz ; mix and digest in a water
bath; when thoroughly incorporat
ed, strain through a fine sieve. The
ointment may be freely applied to
the diseased parts."
TIIK LOUP OHEAK.
Damage to Bridge, Roads, Houses,
Etc., Etc.
Nome lacldeatg or the.IIour.
On Saturday last the long-looked-for
break-up of the Loup river took
place, making considerable havoc.
There has been no such flood of
water and ice since 1867, when the
waters covered the bottom south of
this city. All was excitement, aud
iu a few minutes most of the people
in town were upon tho streets,
house-tops, etc., looking at the re
morseless waters covered with ice
pushing everything beforo them. At
a little after noon the water and ice
filled aud overflowed the bed of the
river, and in a very few minutes tho
flats, reaching from the " Bench "
south of 11th street, to the regular
bed of the river, were covered with
water and ice, in some places mov
ing swiftly others slowly, accord
ing to the lay of the land. Some of
those who remember the overflow
of '67, say it was higher than this,
others say not. There being more
houses in tho bottom now, the dam
age will, of course, be very much
greater.
There was abuudance of ice up
wards of two feet in thickness, and
Charles Matthews saw one piece
which by actual measurement was
three feet and two inches thick. As
we write, the river bank can be
seen strewn thick with great cakes
of ice.
Of course we shall not be able to
glean all particulars of damages into
this brief account, but we give the
main items coming within out-
knowledge.
Early in the flood the middle spans
of tho Loup river wagon bridge were
seen to loosen and quietly float down
stream. Holding together for a few
rods, they finally began to waver
aud were borne under. This com
pletely cuts off our wagon bridge
communication with the south Loup
aud Bouth Platte country. Eight
spans of the Platte bridge bad been
swept off when that stream " broke
up," and the calamity of Saturday
finished the work. How much the
county has lost cannot now be esti
mated, but it will lake considerable
money, expense and time to place
travel across these rivers where it
was two weeks ago. It is a calami
ty, too, that we shall not fully ap
preciate at present.
Houses iu the " Bottom " with
good, solid foundations, especially
where the same were protected by
trees, were not much disturbed, al
though all were more or less filled
with water. Some three or four
were carried off, and some of them
stove in, being struck by large cakes
of ice. George Spooner's dwelling
was taken several squares, and set
down again in good shape. Mrs.
namer's buildiug was considerably
riddled.
David Anderson had about $100
worth of hogs caught and lost. He
was not at home. Starting at Al
bion, he thought he could get home
before the break-up Bhould reach
Columbus, it being twelve hours
going from Genoa to Lost Creek ;
but after it passed that point, it
seemed 'to gain great impetus, and
went like a race horse. The water
was high enough to fill the ceflar of
his dwelling to within six inches of
the floor.
The U. P. track, from the culvert
just west of the depot to the "big''
bridge across the Loup, is more or
less toru up the culvert swept
away, the track washed out in places,
telegraph poles aloug the north side
all down, a number of the piles of
the slough bridge (west eud) knock
ed off, and general "hobb" to pay.
During the flood, Michael Savidge,
the very faithful watchman at the
bridge, was on top of the super
structure, watching from that van
tage the course of events. Mike
endeavorsto describe his sensations
when a cake of ice, (about one acre
in extent according to the way he
looked at it) struck the bridge below
and made it quiver; but ho can't do
the subject justice, and concluding
that he would be just as safe a little
lower down, he suited his actions to
his thoughts.
The U. P. Loup bridge between
Duncan and Lost Creek stations is
very considerably damaged all the
superstructure gone aud perhaps
half the piling, with a considerable
amount of track out of shape.
John Haney, not having bad the
least warning of the flood, had two
hundred and ten head of cattle swept
off, recovering only fifty of them.
He says that only twenty-eight of
the number were aB young as year
lings, and that they were worth
considerable more than twenty dol
lars a head. Mr. H. thinks he could
have saved his herd if ho had had
ten minutes warning.
The school-house near. Mrs. Bar
rows's residence was moved about
a mile by the Hood, and placed, so
our informant told us, very nearly
the center of the district.
An exciting episode took place in
the same neighborhood. Mr. Cham
bers of the A. & N., Ora Shannon
and others went down the track on
a baud car, aud their attention was
attracted by a signal waved from
Mrs. Barrows's dwelling, which was
quite a distance into the water. The
party returned to the city, and,
taking an engine, flat-car and a boat
with them, returned and rescued
Mrs. Barrows and her children and
Mrs. Dykes, who was stopping with
them. It is said that had it not
beeu for the large treos near the
house it would have beeu swept
away, as it was directly iu tho track
of the moving ice.
One who saw the ground ince
the waters have receded says that
for two miles from the river there
is not a vestige left of the A. & N.
track; that Prof. Aughey, with all
his powers of chemical analysis,
could not find a trace of it in that
distance. There are perhaps thirty
"bents" of the railroad bridge there,
to be replaced.
Henry Binder had upwards of 200
sheep drowued.
The operator at Benton telegraph
ed to Schuyler that there was a large
hog on a cako of ice, squarely ami
firmly braced on the same, floating
down the river, and for which he
had received no way-bill.
One man saw a dog running down
the river on tho cakes of ice, seem
ingly not able to turn to either .side.
It is reported here that a woman
with her three children, living in a
dug-out between Schuyler and
North Bend, were submerged and
drowned. We could not learn the
name.
We have given some of tho main
incidents of the flood in this neigh
borhood, but it would task the pencil
of the artist in the life-time of a
Methusalah to portray the sights of
those few hours and of the scattered
debris of to-day. Fortunate was it
that it came iu the day time, giviug
some warning. As it was. the scenes
will long be remembered, and will
furniah an interesting topic of con
versation wheu the present young
sters become old settlers.
Reconstruct loa.
Considering the situation of atl'iirs
in Columbus, aud the condition in
which the flood leaves the track aud
the bridge of the "Jackson Branch ''
of the U. P., the Journal belicvos
that the business men of Colum-ius
should meet, consult, and conclude
upon a line of conduct, based upon
sound business principles aud upon
the fact (which ought by this time to
be acknowledged on all hands) that
it is to the interest of this people
and of the Union Pacific R. R. Co.
in this section, that their branch
line Btart from here.
We are not advised as to the affairs
of that Company; whether such a
proposition would now interfere
with their designs as to future con
struction or not, but, believing that
it would be greatly to the advantage
of the city and of the Company, we
take the liberty of suggesting that
this thing ought to be brought
about. Whatever is doue must be
beguu immediately, aud for that
reason, there should be no delay in
bringing the matter before the rail
road authorities.
Individuals, communities aud cor
porations are presumed to work for
their own good. We often differ in
opinion as to the best means of
furthering our interests, but it seems
to the Journal that here is an op
portunity for concert of action that
will be highly beireficial to all con
cerned. While the Journal i3 not
authorized to speak for the commu
nity, it feels sure that it expresses
the general desire that iu some
agreeable aud effective way this re
sult may bo brought about.

"Can a. Chicken Swim."
While Saturday's flood was s.veep
ing over the bottom precincts or the
city, a bevy of ladies were intently
watching tho thrilling scene, their
tender hearts going out in sympathy
with the poor dumb animals and
fowls left behind in the hasty flight
of their owners. Suddenly a ques
tion was suggested a momentous
question to that circle of fair ones,
involving tho life or death of a ter
ribly frightened old biddy that was
rapidly floating to destruction on a
cake of ice.
"Oh, that poor hen will be
drowned 1 " says one.
"No, she can swim out " from
one of the more hopeful ladies ; no
Oh, I don't know cau a chicken
swim?"
But not one'of that little circle
was able to answer, and biddy did
riot seem inclined to enlighten
them by demonstration. Just at this
point a man appeared, and to him
the question was immediately sub
mitted by the entire assembly of
ladies in one voice "can a chicken
swim?" -(),
certainly," says the gentleraau.
"Its natural for a chicken to swim
just as natural as for a rabbit to
climb ; do it just as easy.
This, was entirely satisfactory.
The oracle had spoken and biddy
could come ashore if she wanted to,
and when again attention was turn
ed to her she was not to be seen, and
of course she swam out of her peril.
If not, why, it was her own fault, be
cause that was what nature intended
she should do in all such cases.
