The case of the State v IT. T.

Messrs. Morris & Wcixel, who

he good news to all this country,
because it will bring Chicago prices
nearer to us, and will be a conven

thinks of the rapid settlement and
development of this country during
the past twenty years, he may be
able to imagine what the twin sis

At the school meeting Monday
evening it was decided to ask a levy
of one and a half mills for general

difference of opinion in construc

entire district as now constituted

the old district No 1, or whether it
shall be paid by the property-owners

Last Sunday was the day fixed
upon by the prognoslieatora for
knocking things to pieces on this
globe. The prophecy did not come
true, but Thursday night between 11
and 12 o'clock the knocking com

stones small and large and pretty
effectually riddled the garden vege
tables in this city. The tattling of
the hailstones on the wiudows, roofs
aud sides of houses, frightened
women aud children, and, iu some
instances, the stronger and sterner
sex showed unmistakable signs of
fear, judging from reports received
of the manner in which they hur

to ascertaiu the extent of damage.
The storm lasted but a short time,

The liiverton Eagle gives an

He lad heard his father read the

try that some time. On the day of
his death his mother had asked him
to drive some horses oil a piece of

The U. P. are taking down the
wind-mill at the depot and purpose
putting iu a steam engine to do their
pumping. The new water tank will
be of the large and substantial kind
that the Company are now erocting
wherever needed along their lines.
While these, improvements arc going
forward we would suggest that now
is the most favorable time for estab
lishing water works in connection
with the Company. Grand Island
and Sidney are thus supplied with
water for all purposes, and all the
pressure needed in case of firo. We
don't know anything concerning the
cost, or whether the experience of
the Company is such as to induce
them to favor such a project, but it
can certainly do no harm for our
business men and large property
owners, who have their money at
stake in perishable houses and goods,
to confer with the TJ. P. authorities
and see how the land lies. It strikes
us that if Columbus is ever to do
anything of the kind, it can be
accomplished now with a great deal
less expense than hereafter.

In answer to an inquiry last week,
a man who know6, writing us over
the signature "Granger," says that
it will do to sow rye in corn during
the last working, if it is fed down in
the fall ; then, should it winter kill,
the fall feed obtained would more
than pay expenses ; besides, should
the months of August and Septem
ber bo hot and dry, the growing rye
would keep the roots of the corn
moist. The writer has seen such a
crop raised with good results.
We may add that there is no doubt
about the rye being good for pas
ture, not only iu the fall, but through
the winter during open weather, and
one of our farmer acquaintances says
that he knows by a practical test that
it is better pastured during the win
ter than not will bring a better
crop of grain.

An Attempt to llm-ii a .'ou

LivnsAV, June 17th, '8
En. Journal: I hope that for the
boucfiL of the public you will notify
them at large that on the night of
the 10th there was a bold attempt
made to hum up the county bridge
across Shell creek at John Walker's.
The outlaw used, from appearances,
about a gallon of coal oil on the
flooring of the bridge, and carried
hay and stuffed on top of the caps
between the joists on both sides,
then saturaicd the hay with coal oil
so as to make sure work in the des
truction of public properly. I have
reason to believe that the ruffian who
attempted the cowardly, midnight
act does not live a thousand miles
away. The suspicions of the neigh
borhood arc aroused as to the author
of the nefarious deed. Had the
night been windy, no doubt the
bridge would have gone up iu smoke
aud 11 a me.
It must have been fired in the
morning about two o'clock, for my
sou got up at half past three and
saw the blaze. He aroused us and
we were just iu time with buckets
and water to save the structure
