The Schuyler Sun refers to the fact that neighboring towns are talking of packing houses, cream eries, ic, but aa for Schuyler she clings to her hay boom. The saying of the old Indian might apply to this case. Rev. J. C Evans thinks that Egyptian corn is more profitable to raise than the ordinary kind. He has found it so, at least, and it does well in wet or dry ground. He speaks of threshing 103 bushels in an hour. "Kendall's Treatise on the Horse and his Diseases" will be given to every subscriber of the Jocbs'al, who pays up arrears and one year in advance. A little book of 89 pages, valuable to every one who owns a horse. Columbus already has three packing houses, and now another one is spoken of aa almost a certain ty, not in any particular opposition to those already here, bat becaase the trade is now established here and the man contemplating the raove, believes it a good location. The old Indian sign for aa open winter is probably as good as any. They do say that the beaver has built no houses on tbe streams for this winter, and last season their bouses were all prepared in good time and were strongly and warmly built. The families of H. M. "Waite, S. C. Osborn and Mrs. Reiser have been serioasly afflicted with scarlet fever thirteen children, in all.

"Will Isard, aged thirteen, acci dentally shot himself through the left hand last Saturday with a re volver. The ball skinned two of his fingers and passed through the fleshy part of the hand. The wound is not serious, and the young man may be glad it was not his head. Seward Reporter. A letter received here on Mon day from St. Paul, Howard county, says that John Robinson while out hunting recently found a skeleton of a man four miles north of St. Paul, and a half mile from the railroad track. By the side of the body was a silver watch, a gold chain, a cuff button and a revolver. D. A. "Wfllard of Genoa was in town Saturday. Nance county ia doing a regular land-office business. Many sales are being made, and at excellent prices. Some lands have trebled in value the last year. Nance county has a recent accession as a settler in a man from Scotland who brought with him 190,000. Saturday last A. "W. Doland and family took their departure for Council Bluffs, their future home. A. "W. will still continue to travel for Tolman & King of Chicago, and at Council Bluffs will be nearer the center of the territory over which he works. A very worthy man, he will achieve success, wherever he goes. Rev. Jno. Gray of "Wauhoo has been engaged aa minister of the Con gregational society of this place. It is understood that he will begin his labors about the middle of next month. Since the departure of Rev. Sherman, the congregation, with commendable zeal, have held ser vices every sabbath, though most of the time without a minister. The County Sup't. of Seward county gives the public, through the Beporter, the benefit of his observa tions of each school be visits. He also takes occasion to call attention fb the lack of good desks and seats ; of blackboards, Jfcc, &c. "Whatever people may say, it does the managers of schools good to criticise their methods, and show where they are faulty. "We are moved to say that a brass band is one of those institutions which enliven a town, and add spice and zest to every public occasion ; in fact, an indispensable accompani ment to city public life. The Colum bus Corset Band have beea faithful at all times, in seasoa aad oat of season, and the benefit to them shonld be substantial and solid, aa it certainly wonld be timely. "We are told that mosey has been subscribed for the establish ment of an oil mill here next seasoa, and that the old Hoffman steam mill, lately used aa an elevator, is to be the oil mill. An institution of that kind, it strikes us, ought to pay well. There is an immense amount of flax raised, and still more would be raised, if there was a good home market for both seed and straw. Perhaps the most aged woman in Nebraska is Mrs. Catharine M. Cal laway of Butler county, who waa born in 17S9, thirteen years after the declaration of American independ ence, and is now, therefore, ninety two years old. Just at present she is not well, but within tbe paat week she has been able to be up and about, taking care of herself, washing dish es, etc and her memory is yet good. Mr. Frank Price, the practical man of the Creamery Association, ia evidently the right man in the right place. The project waa begnn on the 28th day of Nov. and the 20th day of Dec. seea the buildiaga en closed ; the first of next month will in all probability see- the machinery in place, and the work of better making began. Of course, the Ne braska weather haa been very favor able for the work, it couldn't have been better, but mach depends upon the ability aad energy of those who have the practical management of each institutions. McCormick of the Oakdale Pen j The B. & M. Company have in and Pfotc, says that about New corporated into their Time Table Year's he will send a bill to his de- Iinquent subscribers, together with his picture. He acknowledges that he is not good looking, and that the chromo adds still more to his bad looks. He thinks this an induce ment for the aforesaid delinquents to come and settle, and thus save a nightmare. A unique method at least, but probably a very effective one. The atone work at the creamery ia completed. The ice house ia nearly done. This enterprise, we think, will add to the business of Columbus more than is generally supposed. It will be very profita ble to keep milch cows within 'the circuit,' which will make land more valuable, and tend to make every acre useful in the production of milk. "When the farmer prospers, and haa plenty of ready money, all business feels the impnlrc G. D. Grant, formerly of Ne braska, now of Colorado, has been making a short visit to his old home. He showed us some splendid wheat and potatoes grown in Colorado, by irrigation, and expressed the opin ion that our soil here by irrigation could be made to produce double that of Colorado, where they get 25 to 50 bushels of wheat to the acre, and other products in proportion. He told us many interesting things about tbe climate of Colorado. The last Schuyler Sun contains a statement from Mr. Bliss and Mr. Brandt, hog buyers of that place, to the effect that owing to the estab lishment of packing houses at Co lumbus, the buyers here were pay ing more than shippers could afford to pay, and, besides, were getting the best hogs, leaving Schuyler the culls. On a shipment of $5,000 worth, one of these men made $55. On a car load, which cost $77(3.85, tbe other lossed just 45 cents. They are compelled to say this in self-defense for being charged as paying less than Columbus prices. H. M. "Waite was in the city Satarday. He says that Pinkeye ha.? struck the horses in his neighbor hood, and pronounces it a bad thing. He says it specially affects the kid neys. He lost a mare for which he had been offered $1200. . .Mr. "W. has a notion that hogs are about the most valuable stock to raise here, because, as he says, a corn crop can be always raised, and hogs multiply more rapidly, come to maturity earlier than other stock, and bring good prices. He has 4000 bushels of corn from 50 acres, and has sold hog3 weighing, cleaned, 509, 512 and 5SS pounds. Drs. Martyn and Thurston took a trip west to Kearney last week, in the neighborhood of which place lives Mr. Thurston's father-in-law, I J. B. Waite. They were having an eye on sheep. Mr. "Waite has a flock on which he has made a profit, this year of fifty per cent. These gen tlemen give a good account of the country between this and Kearney, and say that the towns are all thriv ing, and especially Grand Island and Kearney. The latter place haa es tablished a fire-limit, in which there are no buildings erected except of brick and stone. A fine Presbyte rian church and a handsome public school-house have been erected this season. The wedding of our friends, Mr. and Mrs. Seth P. Mobley, was large ly attended at home. Turner Hall was nicely decorated wilh ever greens, and over one hundred guests assembled at the tables. It would be impossible, with oar space, to enumerate the gifts received from heme and abroad. The account in a special and general way says among the gifts came a whole wagon-load of tinware, from a tin whistle up to a bath tub. Judging from tbe num ber of articles enumerated, these parties will not need any more tin ware daring the remainder of their existeace, oa this' nundane sphere. But the best thing connected with this wedding is for the bride and greom to kaow and realize how i many true aad devoted friends they have who always stand ready to contribute to their comfort and true happiaesB by exhibiting a friendship that can alwava be trusted. Now that the Creamery ia about to start into operation it will be advisable for farmers who contem plate supplying milk, to begin the study ef the business in all its bear ings. Aad, as with every other study, the first thing is to ascertain the facta, and then, with all possible speed work towards a perfect sys tem. "We think they can count upon a good demand and good pay for all the pure milk they can furnish. The Columbaa Creamery will have a possible capacity of six thousand pounds of butter a day, and of coarse so long aa it is profitable, so long they will make it. It ia conceded by all intelligent farmers that it paya to aell milk. Then, how to furnish the moat milk at the leaat outlay? becomes the important question. And in the answer to that is in cluded the breed, the feed, the spe cial care, etc, & thousand things that only the practical man, with constant study and watchfulness, can be master of. "We have our own notions about these things, but we prefer to listen to some one who can speak with the authority of experience. j No. 3S, general regulations for the benont of their employees. Among other things we notice that "coup ling cars by hand is strictly prohib ited in all cases where a 'stick can be used to guide the link. Jumping on or off trains or engines in motion, entering between cars in motion to uncouple them, and all similar im prudences, are forbidden. Sticks will be provided at train headquar ters." From our observation of the daring of brakemen in this region, we should say that not one of them had ever applied at headquarters for a stick. Tie Packinf IlHe. This institution is now in full blaat, slaughtering 100 to 150 hogs a day. Three days of last week they purchased $7,500 worth of hogs, and purpose buying all that come. The enterprise was inaugurated Oct. 15, 1SS1, by L. Gerrard, R. H. Henry, D. Anderson, John Wiggins and Samuel Cory, with a capital of $50, 000, and gives promise of being the beat motive-power ever attached to the business wheels of Columbn?. Every arrangement for receiving and shipping, as well as for slaugh tering and curing, is complete and ample, and those who have never seen the work done In a packing house will be amply repaid by a visit. Prof. J. Henry Boyle, under the auspices of the Royal Arcanum, will lecture at the Opera nouse Wednes day evening, January 4th, 1382, upon the subject of Nihilism and the great empire of the Czar; Ruasia, what was, what is, or may be, govern ment, church, education. Russian life. The fact that the secret of Ni hilism has been so well kept seems to evince that it existed only in a few heads and bands. But those few hands had the means of penetrating the innermost recesses of the impe rial palace. They had at their dis posal all the terrible enginery of secret murder. One writer says: uIt takes its uninvited seat at the Czar's most private table ; the shad owy form glides ominously among his most trusted servants, and pene trates the thickest lines of his sur rounding suards." The interesting topics of Poland, and Siberia will be treated of, and the particulars of the assassination of Emperor Alexander II.

Callaway waa in the city preparing papers for the arrest of a man whom he suspicioned for setting fire to a grove on his farm in the northern part of Butler coun ty. The complaint was made on Friday, before C. S. Burch, Justice of the peace, and a warrant taken oat for the arrest of one Frank Diamond of the neighborhood. We learn that the facts adduced before the Justice were about as follows: On Thurs day night near 11 o'clock Mr. Calla way waa aroused by an alarm of fire, and found that it was in his ten acre grove on the soath side of his place. Although there was a heavy south wind, by the aid of neighbors and others the fire was put out, not, how ever, until it had burned over about four acre3 of his grove. There was every suspicion from the circumstances, the situation of the grove, &c, that the fire was the work of an incendiary. Friday morninr, as soon as it was fairly daylight, Mr. Callaway weut to the grove, and was not long in finding the tracks of a horse. Get ting some of his neighbors, Mr. Derby, Mr. Jones and Mr. Bowlsby, they made a thorough examination of the tracks, finding that they were those of a pony, shod in front with patent shoes, and that the hind tracks had a very peculiar mark by which the animal could be distinguished. It waa in evidence on the Trial that the pony that made the tracks was Frank Diamond's, bat aa this didn't prove that he had rode the pony or had committed the deed, he was, of course, released from custody. Dia mond's father swore that Frank had been at home during Thursday night From "The Time. Editor of the Times: The state ments recently published in your valuable paper has created much excitement in this city among the class who own and use horses, and after reading your request that all should write yoa who had been ben efited by the letter published from Dr. Bates in regard to the remarka ble success he always had with Kendairs Spavin Cure, I decide to write yoa my experience with it My first knowledge ef this remedy came through a visit to the office of the Massachusetts Society for the preventien of cruelty to animals. This society waa the first to use KendalTs Spavin Cure in Boston, ana 1 waa informed by Charles A. Unrner, a gentleman m whom I bad the utmost confidence that they had never used anything that work ed so well for spavins or any lame ness in horses, and he stated that he gave it to poor men who had lame horpea and would agree to use it, and in this way he waa enabled to get along without prosecuting them aa it waa sure to cure when perse vered with. Some time after thisT received a very severe injury to the knee joint and the high recommen dations which Mr. Currier gave KendaWa Spavin Cure, gave me so much confidence in it that I used it tor my knee with the very best of results, and since that time my faith has been so strong in the merits of thia remedy that we will not be without it in the house. IhavetriedT it since then for foot-rot, aore teats or warta on my cows teats also for a general liniment for my bones or in my family and I sincerely believe, witb all those who have written yoa before,there never was aa good a lin iment for both man and beast ever discovered before.
