While the terrible scourge, small-pox, is steadily extending its alarming sway throughout the coun try, it behooves the citizens of towns and cities located on main lines of travel to adopt at once precautionary measures to keep the dreaded dis ease away from their communities. Our city authorities should remem ber that Columbus is located on one of those lines of main travel from the east to the west, and is in danger every day of the diseabe unless kept away by precautionary measures. Mrs. Caroline Sharp, widow of the late John Sharp, of Cadiz, Ohio, and daughter of John Ward, dee'd, of the Bame place, died at New Ath ens, Ohio, on the 24th Inst., from the effects of poison administered by her own hand. Mrs. Sharp is well known ta many readers of the Jour nal, and the cause of her death will be a great surprise when they recall the character of the lady, but grief for the loss of her son, an ex ceptional young man, perhaps ex plains why she chose thus to leave the world. .. The Grand Island Times speaks of several farmers along Prairie creek having lost cattle this season, 6incc they have been turned out into tho corn fields, supposed to be pois oned by eating smut, a fungus which grows on corn. It is always notice able that where the cattle are given a feed of hay before being turned iuto the stalks, or have free access to water, the mortality is much lessen ed. Many, of our farmers here' who lost largely several years ago by the same cause, supposed it to be due to a surfeit of dry stalks. n The following lodges of the I. O. O.

Smith to settlers from eastern states are one to Lin coln Ozias of eastern Iowa, and A D. Eschlemen of 111. ; of unimprov ed farms, to the same, and to Mr. Christison of 111. Now is the time to buy lands in Nebraska. There is bouud to be a steady increase in their value. We would say to our eastern readers who have large fam ilies aud a email farm, "Consider the situation : You could sell your farm and with the proceeds get a much larger one of better soil in the West, put all needed improvements npon it and stock it with cattle, sheep and bogs, and make a much greater per centage on your investment." One of the wedding guests at the marriage, Dec. 22d, of Robt. E. Wiley to Miss Jennie M. Brown, sent us a communication too late for publication last week, from which we extract as follows: Among the presents were library lamp, tea set, silver castor, worsted scarf, fruit dish, shell comb case, glaSB pitcher, butter knife, photograph album. Mr. Wiley has shown much energy in erecting so fine a residence, which is very commodious with its tasty furnishing and, with the accomplish ed bride to keep it neat, there is the prospect of a graud future. Mrs. Wiley has, for some time, been the teacher in the district where they reside, aud has been highly com mended by the parents for the ex cellent school she has kept, and the progress made by the school. PccklBC Ilesne Scrap. Glaudc & Schaupp, the Clear Creek millers, brought on Tuesday last sixteen hogs weighiug G975 lbs., and bringing 376.65. On the following day, fourteen more brought them $206.75. The finest hogs this season were from a Mr. Eckley, who sold two pigs, eighteen months old, weighing 1250 lbs., for $68.10. The same gen tleman sold five more of the same age for $8530. It' pays to keep good hogs. Four cars of meat and one of lard were shipped last week. If any one doubts the large busi ness done by the Company, he has only to hear some farmer describe the pleasure of waiting his turn, to be convinced. It is no uncommon thing to receive hogs from Boone, Nance, Polk, Colfax, Madison and Platte counties on the same day. The Pimkeye. From Dr. Schotte we learn that the first sign of this disease (which is a bad cold accompanied by fever), is noticeable in the hind parts of the animal, the legs and abdomen being swollen. At this stage the animal needs medicine which will keep'the bowels open and ail ay the fever, and for this purpose castor oil and niter are good. Later, if unchecked, the complaint will be found lodged in the throat and head, and noticeable by sore throat, eyes watering, aching head, &c. From the first, the animal should be kept warm, not worked, and not exposed to draughts of wind. Many go through the disease without special treatment. The greatest dauger is to mares in foal. The foal is almost invariably slipped, unless special treatment is given. The Dr. says that he knows of thirty five such cases in one neighborhood in this county. When mares in foal are attacked, a skillful veterinary should at once be called. The Doc tor adds that animals which are fat aud in good condition when attacked by this disease, seldom suffer much (excepting mares in foal), while the poor ones are pretty sure to suffer severely, if not die. e Nihillxna. Prof. J. Henry Boyle, under the auspices of the Royal Arcanum, will lecture at the Opera House Wednes day evening, Jauuary 4th, 18S2, upon the Bubjectot Nihilism aud tho great empire of the Czar; Russia, 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: "It takes its uninvited 6eat 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 guards." The interesting topics of Poland, and Siberia will be treated of, and the particulars of the assassination of Emperor Alexander II. Single admission, 50 cts. ; season tickets, courso of 8 entertainments, at popular prices. Tickets on sale at Dowty, Weaver & Co's. 2 e A. Sttccew. The Christmas tree aud festival, held at Bean's school-house Christ mas Eve, was a decided success. The house was tastefully decorated, and presented a vory pleasing ap pearance The tree was loaded with presents for young aud old. The little folks never tired gazing at it, and their pleasure reached its height when tho presents were dis tributed, aud by the smiling faces it is safe to say that raauy little hearts were made glad. If the little cues enjoyed the tree, all enjoyed the supper, which was bountiful and excellent. The entertainment, which was gotten up for tho benefit of the the Sabbath school, realized about $35.00. d. c. Creates. The weather is nice, Christmas is past, and people appear to be enjoy ing themselves. Mr. and Mrs. Clark had a turkey roast and a Christmas tree. The protracted meeting at the church is closed. Mr. E. A. Sage is talking of run ning a creamery near here next year. We hope be will not fail, for it will help the farmers here considerably. Mr. Knight and Mr. Eddy killed a prairie deer lately (not a $weet hcarted deer), and they made a Christmas dinner of it, at which they had quite a lively time. " Mr. Eimerand Mr.Otis of Humph rey have been running each other on graiu. The Alliance is to meet at Middle Creston, Friday night, Jan. 6th. Bob. The Creamery In it Profitable te 91111c the Cowm? Mr. Editor: Facts are stubborn things. With your permission I wish to deal with a few facts. Stock raising has thus far been considered the most profitable part of farming in Nebraska, and so it is. When there was no market for milk and a poor one for butter, everybody thought it is better to let the calves suck than to milk the cows. We all thought we could raise better calves and save lots of labor. As to the raising of better calves, the writer begins to doubt that. As a rule the flow of milk from a fresh cow may increase for a short time, then it will decrease, but the calf demands more, and being used to derive nourish ment from the dam, it is bard to make it derive it from any other source. Aud then, when it is to be weaned (if it ever can be fully wean ed, some sucking again after years of separation from the dam) the trouble begins. A calf that has nev er sucked will grow right along, a sucker will loose flesh and stop growing for awhile. When tne writer first came here he asked C. D. Clother if he knew of a good cow for sale. The old gentleman replied : "No, and I will tell you one thing; don't yon ever buy a cow that had a calf run with her!' Cows used that way will never be saleable for family use, they may only be good for the butch er when unfit for breeding. Again, by letting the calves run with the cows, tho. best milking cows will be spoiled. As the calves suck every qow and then, the glands and other secretive organs will never be fully developed, and while cows regularly milked will improvo from year to year as good milkers, nurs ing cows will degenerate, and give less and less milk. Aud as to the calves, experience has taught the writer that they will thrive just as well and may be made to thrive even better, if fed by hand. When a few weeks old they can drink skim milk, and if a little ground oil-cake can be added they will grow just as fast and will soon do well on a little oats and grass. Fnally, Mr. Editor, which is the most profitable to let a little steer calf suck a cow for six months or longer, then keep it (if you don't loose it) for two or three years, and then sell it for $30 or perhaps $25, or milk the cows for six or eight mouths and realize from $25 to $50 for cream, in that time? A. U. A Free Heading: Room. Mr. Editor: Augustus Caercr made his boast that he found the city of Rome brick, and left it marble. But, even in the days of tho first Emperor, Rome did not have a free reading room. Eighteen and a half centuries later, Columbus has uo reading room. What was passed over, as a characteristic of the age of Augustus, is a standing disgrace, in the age of Arthur, the untried. We have a Creamery, a Pork Pack ing House, and a course of lectures. All are good, each in its way. A reading room would be equally good, but in a different way. When intelligent business men contemplate moving to our city, they will first inquire concerning its educational and social advantages; no one will deny that a public .library, aud free reading room, are promiuent among the attractions of a town. I know of a certain institution of learning, where there are from 40 to 50 stu dents, all the sons of poor men, and largely dependent upon their own exertion for their support while they are pursuing their studies. These boys give eacb a dollar from their scanty means, and with the sum sustain a reading room, where the leading religious and secular period icals of ten states, with the London Times, are regularly laid on the shelves. A tax of ono dollar each levied upon the property-holders of Columbus, would establish a free reading room and public library, and one-fourth of that amount would keep it iu operatiou. There can be no doubt that our citizens are as well able to give the amount named, as were those poor students. They (the students), had no other motive than 6elf-improvement, here there ii, with this, another motive, the eclat it would give to the city. It ought not to require , I presume it will not require either argument, or eloquence, to rouse the people of this city to the importance of this subject. Western people are usually quick to discuss the advantage of such an enterprise. I conceive that two things are essential to the suc cess of the undertaking: we must know that it is possible, aud how it is possible That it is withiu the reach of our people to have a free reading room, the example above referred to, as well as tho experience of other towns, will piove. As to the manner of accomplishing it there are several ways. I have a plan, of course, but prefer to let others speak. I have no donbt that the columns of the Journal are open to any one who wishes to discuss this subject. Business iB now brisk, and there could not he a more favorable time to draw it to a Focus. Of course the columns of the Jour nal are open, now and always. We repeat, what we have said before, that it is a shame and a disgrace for so large a city as Columbus to be without a public library, a circulat ing library, a public reading room, or some such institution., We are behind the civilization of our age in this respect; but when the institu tion is organized, it should be in the right way, and mean business in every respect, as to tho size of the room, its furniture, the number and character of the books and periodi cals, &c. As for the individual there is nothing will help to stay the tide of the passions like the cultiva tion of the intellect, so for the com munity there is no greater moral force than that exerted through the influence of literature, good litera ture. Sir Isaac Newton's "theory was a sound one to first fill the measure with wheat, then no one would have an opportunity to fill it with chaff; and this is the true method of dealing with all wrongs begin against them at tho earliest stage by works of prevention and pre-occupation. The mind actuated by pure motives and filled with good thoughts has no need and no room for vain follies, but will make the most and tho best of this our human life. It is only by the culti vation of that which ip good withiu them that our youth are encouraged to go forward in the path of virtue and honor, and it is especially be coming in thoee whose children arc stepping upon the stage of action, to take a lively interest in furthering every good word and work, and especially intellectual enjoyments, which do great good and no harm. letter LilNt.
