Church Wednesday evening was well at tended, aud the young folks claim they epent a very pleasant evening. All are invited to attend a so cial at the M. E. Church Wednes day evening, April 20th, literary and musical entertainment. Refresh ments also. D. Anderson purchased of R. Reynoldsou, of Boone county, 27 fat steers, that averaged nearly 1-100 pounds. They will be shipped east in a few days. Snow rain and sleet last Wed nesday night. Worse and more of it Sunday night aud Monday. It is truly an extraordinary winter aud spring for Nebraska. The bright, shining implements are putting iu their appearance, and many a farmer will be tempted to buy more than he actually needs, simply because he can get it on time. Our tit st snow this season was on the 14th of October. The snow of the 11th and 12th was pretty near ly six months afterwards, and it has been pretty steady winter weather all that time. Next Sabbath evening, in place of the usual preaching service, the pastor of the Presbyteriau Church will bold an appropriate Easter ser vice, consisting of Easter Anthems, Hymns and Scripture response by the congregation. Thomas O'Neill, whose arrest for alleged burglary at Humphrey was mentioned last week, had a hearing and was discharged, there being no bufficieut testimouy against him. The witness couldn't swear that Thomas was the man. J. Shaw of Evansloii, Wy., gave us a pleasant call Monday. In his country they have been having splendid weather for several weeks. Men work out of doors iu their shirt sleeves, wheat is all iu, grass is up in the valleys, aud the spriug is well along. 'Elliott & Luers have established themselves in the implement busi ness, and both being reliable, res ponsible, thorough business men, and well informed in their line, those wishing fatm implemeuts, buggies, pumps, &c, will find it to their in terest to see them. Wednesday evening in this city and vicinity it rained, sleeted, snow ed, lightninged and thmidered ; and Thursday evening about three or four inches of suow fell. The wea ther otherwise is pleaaul enough, and the larks were siugiug Friday morning as cheerily as if there was no "beautiful snow." A. W. Doland wishes to sell his property In Columbus, aud will give a good bargain. Good house and lot 132x132, enclosed by good fence; a good barn, nearly new, all in good repair. A good horse and buggy, harness, robes, etc Will sell them at a big sacrifice, and give time if deiired. Apply to A. W. Doland 9r to Becher & Price. M. T. Kinney was in the city Sunday. Mrs. C. M.

Dr. Schug has removed his office to the front room up-stairs iu J. II. Mitchell's building. Go to J. C. Echols for j'our wall paper, where you can get it furnish ed on the wall cheap. Charlie Clark, son of E. V., an old-lime "typo" of Columbus, gave us a call Wednesday last. L. Kramer has received a splen did, large stock of new goods to please his numerous customers. Saturday was the last meeting of the old City Couucil. They and the Mayor have done some very ex cellent work. Mrs. Lewis, nee Miss Olive Rose, of Decatur, Col., -arrived in the city Suuday, aud is visiting with the family of J. E. North. Charley Wake iB having a very serious attack of the mumps. We are informed that on Sunday night he was not expected to live. Theo. Friedhofl returned Tues day of last week from New York, where ho purchased au immense stock of goods for this market. From fifteen saloons Columbus has now got down to two under the new ordinance, made in compliance with the new law. These two Sheehau aud Bucher, will run right along, having taken out the required license, aud two more, Schmilz' and Schroeder's, will begin on Friday morning. Dr. A. Hcinfz and wife, Arnold Oehlrich and George Birucy have bought tickets for Europe, aud will take passage on the Cimbria on the 30th iust. at New York for Hamburg, aud expect to be absent five months. The Dr. left Germany fifteen years ago, and Arnold eleven. Bon voyage. The lecture delivered last Fri day evening, by R. F. Steele, on Julius Cu.'sar, his life aud exploits, is highly spoken of by those who heaid it, as full of wit and humor. Mr. Steele is gaining quite a reputa tion as a lecturer and humorous paragrapher. He seems to have hit upon his life-work iu this veiu. Everybody is expected to buy a ticket in the raffle forau organ. The organ is Prince &. Co's make, six octave, seven stop, and cost $150. It is being put up by R. B. Mclntire, who has been very sick for a num ber of weeks. Mc. says "music bath charms," etc., aud is good, but it buyeth not coal and provender. Charles Wentworth, son of Z. Wentworth, and formerly one of the proprietors of the Courant of Platts moutb, and the Democrat of this place, died at Racine, Wis., last week. We sympathise with the young wife, and with the aged father in his de clining years, who naturally leaned on his son for 6iiccor and comfort. The first number of the Colum bus Democrat, A. B. and J. K. Cof froth, publishers, made its appear ance Mouday last. It is a teven column folio, patent outside, and for politics purposes taking the place of the late Era. As another worker for the welfare of the city aud county the Journal welcomes the new paper. Henry Lubker tells us that we were wrongfully informed in pub lishing him as having a second run away on the same day, or at all. He thinks one waB enough auyhow, as he had a very narrow escape, being dragged quite a distance, behind the horses heels. He says that if they had been vicious be would have been kicked to death. M. Erb of Shell creek was in town Saturday, and gave us a busi ness call. Like every seneible, hon est man, Mr. Erb would like to see some way devised so that district, county and state governments would be conducted on a more economical basis, thus lessening the burdeua of taxation. Public debts have become enormous, with very little to show for them. John L. Peters of Boone county was in the city Wednesday last ; he was glad to hear of the situation of railroad affaire, and said the new route would be just the thing for all tho towns and tributary country on the new line, ColumbuB being their old trading point. Columbus, too, would find it of advantage in a thousand ways that could not now be thought of, but would develop as business interests would grow. The concert of the Columbus Maennerchor at their hall Thursday evening for the benefit of the suffer ers from the recent flood, was, con sidering the unpleasantness of the evening, very well attended, and the music was first-class, the kind the society always give to the public. Mrs. Bowman, Miss Rosa North, Miss Mamie Huuueman and Mary Turner took part in the evening's entertainment. It is stated on good authority that our branch railroad will now be extended to Columbus. We be lieve, if that is true, that it is a wise move, and ono that 'will be most satisfactory to the greatest number of all parties concerned. It will certainly help Platte, Nance aud Boone couuties, as will it the cor poration. We understand that work will begin immediately. Genoa Leader. H. C. Beau says that the channel cut by the Platte, across J. E. North's farm west of Barnum's, was one to two rods wide, aud iu some places fourteen feet deep. During tho rise there was four feet of water in the Mat. Beebe honee, and two feet in No. 5 school-house. Mr. Barnum had two miles of his fence swept away. Mr. Beau lost the half of his. Mr. Smith, who was preparing to build a stable, had the lumberand a keg of nails washed off, but he will probably get it all back. We see it suggested that coal be supplied to school-districts iu the summer time. We add that it would be an excellent thing for manufacturing establishments that use coal, for business men and such well-to-do citizens as have (he means to be economical and buy their fuel in large quantities, .'wheu it is easily obtained and can be had at reasona ble rates. Columbus has been well situated this winter in that respect her coal bills being very reasonable in price and tolerably abundant iu quantity. The editor of the Genoa Leader recently visited Keatskotooa in Platte county, to see their new pub lic library, and grows very enthu siastic over the same. Every com munity of any importance or self respect should be provided with some sort of public library worthy of the name. Modem civiliza tion, our free-school system, are not complete without it. It is in this way that the poorest son or daugh ter of the republic, may have fac ilities for self-education equal to the richest. Supt. Clark came up the track last week as far as Schuyler. He came by rail, on foot and in a wag on ; but he was bound to know how it was for himself. News. Yes, and he is Just the man for the place, strong, pushing, thorough and determined. His work after the recent floods has proved all of this of Mr. Clark. Everything that fore sight could do was done for the traveling public and the business communities along the line, aud reg ular trains running at the earliest possible moment. The management deserves unstinted praise for these things. m Additional news from Omaha reports the high waters of the Mis souri at that point on the 9th not falling, but had reached twenty-two feet above low water mark. The lower portions of Council Bluffs are very badly flooded and at least five I hundred people living in that part of the city have been compelled to abandon their houses and are being cared for at the Court House and at Bloom & Nixon's Opera House, fed and lodged at the city's expense. It is also reported that portions of Nebraska City are flooded, and the citizens compelled to move up on higher ground. i Dan. C. Kavanaugh returuea Monday from Milwaukee, where he had been called by the illness of his brother Ed. Before arriviug there he received word of his death. The deceased was fifteen years old and at the time of his death was one of the messenger boys of the Wisconsin assembly. At the adjournment, the Speaker referred to the deceased as "our very amiable little messenger boy, whose efficient services have been 60 much missed." Eddie waB well known her.e, by many of our young folks who became acquainted with him last summer, and who will he sorry to bear that he has been cut down in the flower of his youth. "We are certainly justified in calling this a democratic victory, for every man we had in the field was elected. We now have a ma jority in the council and we will have a just, fair, impartial and econ omical administration. The en forcement of the laws, and city or dinances will be had, and there will be no cause of complaiut during the ensuing year:" We clip the above from the Dem ocrat of this place. Why that paper should feel justified in a party "crow," we cannot tell. The re publicans, as a party, made no nom inations and no fight. The intima tions contained iu the article against the late officials of the city are cer tainly out of place, as the Mayor and Council have done some very ex cellent service- The B. & M. have a large force at hand ready to work whenever a chance offers in repairing the dam age done by the recent flood, to their road and bridge. It was thought that the work could have been com pleted by the first of May, but with the recent bad weather, and more of the same sort that may be in store for several days or weeks to come, it is a matter of conjecture, just as uncertain as the weather.when trains will run direct to Lincoln. In the meantime, those wishing to go to the capitol cau take the eveuing express here for Central City, and the B. & M., there at 7 the next morning, arriving at Lincoln, 11:45, or the east-bound U. P. to Yalley, thence to Lincoln. The following, by that sort of mishap which sometimes does occur, even in the Journal ofllco, failed to gel published Inst week : "Columbus, Platte Co., April 2d, 1SS1. Mrs. Barrow and family, and Mrs. Dykes desire to return thanks to the gentlemen who so kindly aud nobly assisted in rescuing them from the water and ice of last Saturday's flood ; tendering our heartfelt grati tude and thanks to the railroad offi cials and to every other person who rendered us assistance in our almost hopeless condition." A. Good Record. The late Mayor and City Council are certainly deserving the hearty thanks (pocket-deop) of this com munity for their management ot finaucial matters. It was generally supposed that the city wa9 under a mountain of indebtedness, but it seems that after deducting outstand ing indebtedness, the city has $14 28 We shall take occasion to refer to this matteragain, giving particular?, for which we have not the space this week. A New Real Estate tlouc. BatlneN By reason of tho prospects of Co lumbus becoming the terminus of the O., N. & B. H. R. R. which will establish the fact that Columbus is to become a railroad centre in the uear future, W. S. Geer & Co. will hereafter publish a monthly Real Estate Register of all lands left with them for sale, under the title of "The Nebraska R6al Estate Recorder." It is designed to send these papers to all parts of the Eastern States with price and full description, so that every man east cau see and know of the bargaius awaiting him in Ne braska. This will be of great ad vantage to the seller as well as the buyer. The buyer can tell just what he cau do before he leaves bis home iu the east. No charges unles3 the laud is sold. City dovermnent. The uew members elect are J. R. Meagher, Mayor; I. Gluck, cotincil mau 2d ward ; Julius Rasmusson and A. A. Smith of the 3d ward ; John F. Wermuth, Treas. ; L. J. Cramer, Engineer. Mr. Hudson was re elected clerk without opposition, and G. A. Schroeder, councilman first ward. The term of the old officers ex pired Saturday night last, and the uew ones took their place. The Mayor announced the following stauding committees: Rules, Priv ileges and Elections Rasmupsen, Smith, Schroedor. Finance Lamb, Gluck, Rasmussen. Judiciary Rickly, Lamb, Smith. Claims Schroeder, Gluck, Rasmussen. Streets and Grades Lamb, Rasmus sen, Rickly. Police Smith, Schroe der, Lamb. Public property and improvements Gluck, Rasmussen, Rickly. Fire Schroeder, Rasmus sen, Lamb. Sidewalks and bridges Rasmussen, Schroeder, Gluck. Printing Rickly,Smith,Rasmussen. It has been said that he who makes two blades of grass grow where only one grew before, is a benefactor of his race. Evon so, he who shows a man how to accom plish a given object with one-half the expense ordinarily made. And it is a false notion, too, to think that this will discourage business. On the other hand, it greatly encourages it. A correspondent of the Genoa jEectrfer.who evidently knows where fof be affirms, has this to say of con crete houses: "Sixteen years ago, I luelped to build a house width, 44 ft. ; length, 80 ft. ; height 42 ft. When the walls were ready for the wood work, it had cost $1,150. It stands as firm yet, as the day it was built. A concrete house can be built at 35 cts. per yard. Get coarse, clean sand; take 1 bbl. lime, 7 of sand, 1 pail of cement; mix well. If too rich, add sand to reduce it to the stiffness for stone work. Put the mortar in the wall and crowd it full of brick bats, gravel or stone. The more you put in, the cheaper the house. This most any one can do, but the cement face will have to be put on by a mason. A frame house that will cost say $1,200 cau bo bail of concrete for $650." The New Route. " We received the following com munication, too late for last week's Journal : As a voter and citizen of Colum bnB, and a poor one at that, I hope the project will not fall through, for, as bluff Dave Anderson says, we want that road, right here. In the first place, it will bring as residents here, probably from ten to twenty workingmen, who, I contend, are as essential to the building up of a town as any part of the community, for whatever recompense they re ceive for their labor, is circulated in the town. Therefore I earnestly hope the moneyed men of Columbus will be willing to risk a little of their wealth for the welfare of the city,wbere they have mostly made it. For whatever may be the faults of railroad companies, this much must be acceded to them ; they are the advance guard of civilization in the building up of the country which they go through, and I believe the good will of the officials of the Un ion Pacific road will greatly advance the prosperity of our city, because bur interests aud theirs will be more nearly identical. Jas. Salmon. -- Attention, Farmers. I will close out my etock of im plements at cost price. Call and examine, and learn prices of Gorham seeders; also harrows, plows, culti vators, wagon springs, buggy tops, &c. My goods are equal in quality to any on the market, and it will pay you to buy while you can get them cheap. Wm. Becker. tf Stoclc hemx. The largest cattle sale we have heard of is that of Hall Brothers of New Mexico, who sold their rancho aud stock for $100,000. The tiotting stallion Wedgewnod, (record 2 :19,) ha9 recently been sold it is said for 120,000. W. P. Balch and others of Boston were the pur chasers. A stock raiser in Helena, Montana, writes: "I have paid $45 per ton for the last hay I got. This territory will loose at least one-fourth of all its stock. The demand for shorthorn cattle seems on the increase; extensive sales are reported by many breeders at good prices. Stock is good ; bet ter etock is better, and the best is the best. Mr. John Clay of Bow Park writes: "The demand for shorthorn bulls of the better class is very great. We have three to four buyers every week and they all mean business. Nearly all the common bulls in this neighborhood arc bought up." There are now in the state of TexaB ton breeders of Angora Goats, hav ing flocks numbering from 100 to 1500 head. Tho Texas Sun calls the Introduction of this animal iuto that state an established fact, and pre dicts for it a prosperous future. A gentleman of wide agricultural knowledge said to a writer in the Rural Spirit, of Oregon : "I have r raised and sold $3,000 worth of wheat this year, and it cost me every cent to raise aud market the grain, and I Bold $4,500 worth of horses, cattle, hogs, sheep, wool and poultry, and they did not cost me $1,000; besides they put back on tho farm more than half that amount, while the elements that it took to grow the wheat are now on their way to Eng land. Every bushel of the writer's wheat cost him about four times its value last year. II. A. IN MEMORY OF KLIZAUKTH, MICHAEL, MA RY AND MAOQIE HA.NEY, WITH SYMPA THY TO MRS. AND MK. IIANEY IN THEIR JJITTKR AFFLICTION. In tbe churchyard bleak Where winds do speak In only mournful numbers; Where all is-still, With death's dark chill "We've laid to rest Our darlings. Tbe bitter moan In grief's sad tone From fond hearts Wrung iu anguish; The futile wisb That we bad back Our darlings. They were so dear, To us while here, It makes our hearts still sadder To think that tbey Can never say Fond words we loved to bear, ' Our darlings. lint none could save; So in the grave They're laid away for aye; And ne'er again Will sickness, pain Or parting hurt Our darlings..
