Becher began his work of assessment Monday.and desires every body to be posting themselves on their affairs to be ready for him when he makes his first call. Dist No. 3 has now the follow ing school board : Geo. Murie, Geo. P. Smith and T. Keating. It is to be hoped that they will have longer school terms than formerly. S.'C. Clark, son of E. V. Clark, Esq., came down from the west last week, where he has been in the em ploy of the U. P. R. R. for some time past. He will sojourn awhile with the Genoa Leader force. The young men meutioned in a late Journal as wishing they were in Job. Tasker's boots, might have had an opportunity on Sunday even ing while be had them off pulling bis lady through the slough. S. C. Smith has prepared and painted his office and everything looks neat and clean. He reports sales of land to D. Ennin and Wm. Pitt of 111., J. H. Dusenbruck of Germany, and Evan Davis of Gage county, Neb. James Hanna, of Denver, Colo., ono of our old-home friends, stopped over with us a few hours last Friday. As a man, he is as genial, generous,, and self-reliant as when a boy at play on the school grounds of his youth. The newspaper man cannot be everywhere, though he comes as near to it practically as the next man, and therefore he asks of you to give him what local items you may have knowl edge of. It is thus that we are all benefitted. Dr. S. V. Campbell and wife are visiting with friends in the city. A. J. Arnold and he were schoolmates in days of auld laug syne, when both were little boys together. Mrs. C. is a sister of Mrs. M. B. Hoxie, of Grand Island.

Wilken are, together, fencing a common pasture. The Genoa Leader gives the par ticulars of a young lady of Genoa going over to Fullerton last week, administering, a sound horse whip ping to one of its young men for slandering her, nd returned in the evening to Genoa in time for tea. At Cbas. Thorson's sale Friday last, cows two years old and upward brought the following prices : $40.50, 40, 38, 37, 34, 39, 30, 30, 31, 42.50, 45 ; last spring's calves averaged $18.75 a head, and this season's calves $7. Horses brought $120 to $152. Jno. Huber, the auctioneer says that the sale amounted to about $1700. Mr. McVickers of Peru came up on Wednesday last. He bad a severe attack of typhoid fever during the winter, and is not looking so well as usual. They have had abundant rains in his section of the state, and the vegetable world looks prosperous. The wheat is up and looks fine ; peach trees are budding, and everything indicates the opening spring. Agustus Lockner and family ex pect to start next Saturday for an ex tended visit to friends in Europe. They will make their headquarters at Munich, where Mrs. Lockner's folks live. They expect, of course, to make the tour of the continent, vieiting Hamburg, Berlin, Switzerland, Paris, etc. They take passage on the steam er Furnacia of the Anchor line, from New York to London. From the Genoa Leader comes the repeated caution to farmers in setting out fires in Nebraska. The Leader refers to David Conard living near the north line of the county, who one day last 'week, lured by the beauty of the day, and quietness of the time, concluded to burn the trash on bis garden. The wind got up, swept it beycfad'hiB control, and came very near burning all his buildings; as it was, it swept through his pig pen and 6et fire to the manure heap in front of his stable door, and he had barely time to cet his stock loose 'and' .. tu, .. . ik. :-: ri-Ti v tutu lucui vut uu uid prairie. Juri. Never start a fire unless you have sufficient help to keep it in check. Additional moral don't start a fire. Two alarms of fire Saaday Bight, to which the H. & L. Co. turned out promptly, also Monday afternoon. No particular damage. These alarms were caused by embers from burning bay stacks and manure piles ,on. the flats. Now that it has rained a little ind the green grass is coming along pretty lively, It will probably not be long until the dry times and high winds and dangerous outbreaks of fire the last.few- days, will have drop ped partially out of mind, but some action muaUbe taken to decrease tho fire risk and likewise increase .the means of putting out fires. ' L. D. Clark, 1 who, wUtf John Stufhel, made the aetnal capture of the young man who stole Judge Hig gius's pony, gives us some of the par ticulars. They left here at 3 p. m. of the 23d, 'and drove direct, without inquiry to Osceola, where they found the fugitive bad got a lunch. Mr. Clark, knowing that this boy bad friends in York, suspicioned that he had gone there, and consequently took that direction, finding him at the house of one of his relatives, making the drive of 50 miles in 6 hours. The boy said, when arrested, that he had borrowed the rig of a stranger. Saturday afternoon at about three o'clock tho hay stacks on the north side of Thos. Farrel's corral were no ticed to be on fire, and in a very short time they were all aflame the fire working on the fences, corn-crib, etc. A crowd quickly gathered, and made an opening in the fence for the ter rified beasts, which they very quick ly availed themselves of. The hogs were not bo wise, but rushed pell-mell back into the fire, an unknown num ber of them being killed. Three cows also perished in the flames. The lot, being D. C Kavanaugb's, he will loose the trees on the north side, which must have been killed by the intense heat. No iusurance. We are told that the fire was caused by the playing of two little girls, near by, with fire. The following from the Madison Chronicle is strong enough to speak for itself. If we hadn't had, in our early youth, some experience with Ohio mud, we should have regarded the mud portion of the paragraph phenomenonally and most outrag eously deep. Certainly, born Ne braskans who have never been out of the state, don't know how to appre ciate our wagon roads: "A gentle man from southern Illinois passed through here the other day, and while the train stopped at the station took occasion to remark concerning the dry condition of our roads and fields. He said that he had husked the greater part of forty acres of corn this winter and carted the same home on his back, because he couldn't get into his field with a team' on account of the mud. Part of the time be said bo bad to take a board and shove it along to stand on, so as to keep from gettii.g stuck in the mire. We would advise said gentleman and bis neigh bors to come to Nebraska, where the soil doesn't turn into mud and stay so, for more than a few dayB at its worst." As to Criminal. With the prevalent system of pun ishing criminals there seems to be a great gap somewhere. An instance to illustrate maybe imagined thus: a poor man of large family, commits a crime which sends him to the peni tentiary for a number of years. While he is there working for the state, at low price, under a contractor who reaps an immense profit from the convict labor, his wife and children may be suffering at home for the nec essaries of life, or may be partly or wholly supported at the expense of the county in which they reside. It may be said thit the family of a crim inal arc better off without than with him; that the state cannot afford to do without the pittance that it gets from contractors for the labor of its convicts, &c, but it would seem that while it is right to punish crime, and make criminals feel the heavy hand of the law, the interests of the inno cent wife and children should be re garded as of some moment. It would be better if all crime could be pre vented, than if all crime could be pun ished. Then, while the system of punishment is being applied with more or less success as circumstances vary, the public mind should be med itating more just measures for the maintenance of persons wholly or partially dependent upon the convict ed criminal. If justice, natural Jus tice and right, is not a sufficient mo tive to actuate the public mind, con sideration of self-protection in lesson ing the number of criminals that may prey upon coming generations ought to be. The community which, by its laxity in punishing criminals, by its inaction in encouraging, stimulating and fos teriug institutions that tend to make men better (thus sensibly decreasing the number of criminals), invites them into -their midst,1 should make some effort to work a change in their moral'character; Apropos of the general subject of the treatment of criminals, the Chi cago Times contributes the following paragraph: " "Justice to taxpaying citizens demands tht convicts not on ly jay by their labor in prison the en tire cost .of maintenance, including the salaries of the -officials who have charge of them, but that they pay in addition the cost of their trial and transportation from the jail to prison. Indeed, it seems as if justice required that each culprit should, after dis charging his indebtedness to the state, be made to labor long enough to compensate the individuals be has wronged. At present the person whe haa been robbed of his goods reoeives no compensation for his loss, but, on the ..other band, he is generally sub jected toTa great loss of time and money in attending trials, procuring wituesseaand employing detectives. As .consequence he has a strongs pe cuniary motive Hb; make,' terms with the "culprit in order to' reclaim his property, and no inducement to pros ecute him. " n . . .j . . . -.. ,. .. . -- -- J We give a very brief synopsis of the excellent essay of Mrs. C. S. Reed at the public meeting of the W. S. A. Wednesday evening. The fact that many women express indifference is an argument in favor of conferring the responsibility of citizenship upon them. The separation of the sexes is unnatural and demoralizing, every where. If we muet have limited suffrage, let the line be drawn in reference to purity, morality, intelli gence and patriotism. Womah sho'd be free, and is free now to work in any capacity in which, she shows fit ness. The closing sentences deserve to be framed in gold, as containing the very heart of the present issue: "Whoever claims tlyit there can be for her a position higher than as the arbiter of home, in tho capacity of wife and mother, claims an impossi bility, for there is none higher. The christian family is the highest product of our civilization. It distinguishes the savage from the civilized state, order, purity and peace, from misrule and corruption. Whatever affects the wellbeing of the family, affects the prosperity of the commonwealth. What dims its brightness takes from our country its chief glory; what undermines it, tears away the founda tion of our glorious republic. I be lieve the general tendency to under rate home interests and home work for the young women of this country is injurious. I want to see woman enfranchised, not that she may be freer to cope with men in manly ways, but that in whatever sphere her work may be and especially in that of mother, she may feel an intelligent responsibility as a citizen of this re public. Our country needs all that woman, fully enlightened in the prin ciples of civil government can do joined to all good men can do to free us from existing evils, and to preserve the liberties of this great republic."

Lacey was awakened at about half past eleven o'clock by aery of distress coming from his horse stable, which he at ouce saw to be on fire. Going out, he found it in flames, hav ing evidently been fired at the west end. He supposed, from appearances that it had been afire about five min utes before he saw it. He endeav ored to get one of his horses out of the burning building, br: only suc ceeded in reaching the door, where the horse fell dead, smothered by tho smoke. Five horses perished, besides a number of hogs worth probably worth $50. The loss otherwise was $75 in lumber and two sets of harness in all estimated at $700 to $800. One of the teams was very recently purchased at a cost of $210, and the loss (no insurance, so we learn), will fall very heavily upon Mr. Lacey, who is illy able to bear it. His immediate neighbors had, in few minutes after learning of the unfortunate affair, donated Mr. L. $150, and it is to be hoped that the 6ura will be increased to a good round amount. Mr. L. is spoken of as a very worthy man and citizen, with a family of eight children. The origin of tho fire (at this writ ing) remains a mystery. There seems to be no way of accounting for it ex cept as the work of an incendiary. It is to be hoped for humanity's sake at least, that Platte Co. contains no villian so hideous of character as to be able to do a deed bo in famous as this would be, under the supposition that It was malicious aud premeditated. On Monday evening the family re tired early, between seven and eight o'clock, and everything was quiet. At half past ten Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Sutton aud John Eyman pas&ed the place going home, and everything was quiet. The surrounding country bad been burned by prairie fire, so that nothing could be attributed in that direction. The stable having a hay roof, there was no trouble in set ting it on fire. Tke Ladder rLearaia." Editor Journal: I have just read article No. 2, on "What to Teach," by Mr. G. W. Stevens. My mother taught me to reverence gray hairs. To gray hairs which have often been in proximity to the scalping knife, I would render double homage. Aud yet, believing that important interests arc involved in the question, I must firmly maintain tho position taken in my former article. Mr. Stevens has ratherf established, than over-thrown that, position. If it is unpractical and impracticable to compel a boy who was cut out for a grocer's clerk to study Latin and.Greek, it is equally so to force one who was designed for a painter, poet, novelist or historiau to agonize over an arithmetic or spel ling book. These are the two sides of the question ; Mr. Stevens advo vates but one side. I say -nothing about are present school law ; my object is to influence the power behind the throue, which makes and unmakes laws. Nor am I discussing the comparative merits of different studies, or Latin, Algebra, History, etc. To put it sharp, the poiutslmakearetwo: 1. The thing of chief importance is discipline, the education of the mind aud heart. If this object-can be reached more per fectly and naturally in the study of the dead languages, thau in the study of mathematics, the former should be employed chiefly. Of course the capacity and natural bent of tho child should always be given duo weight. The teacher must study as well as teach, and seek, uot to transform the child into his ideal of a man, but to foster and develop every natural aud healthy tendency of the childish mind in the direction of manly strength and maturity. If in any case this can be accomplished in the study of lit erature, or natural science, the child should be encouraged to give special attention to the particular branch adapted to his mind ; and at the same time other studies should not be dis continued. This leads naturally to the next point : 2. The ranr;e of studies in our public schools should not be limited by any "practical" cal ling or profession. The tendency of the times is toward the minute class ification of labor and talent. There is an increasing demand for trained specialists who can do some one thing in a superior manner. This demand must be met, and for this very reason I urge the importance of imparting to the youug a large amount of eclec tic knowledge. For, one who is constantly moving in a monotonous round of toil, is in great danger of becoming a mono maniac. If the physical man is thus under contraint the mind should be able to wander in untrammeled free dom, and even to seek green fields aud pastures new. And when the day's work is done one should turn both hand and brain to other employ ments. How many might be kept from intemperance and vice, if trained from childhood to seek recreation in the acquisition of knowledge for its own sake I Mr. Stevens says that work of this kind should be done as "circum stances may permit." Would it uot be just as plausible to say, Devote the child's school days to the acquis ition of this "lore of a higher grade," which is likely to be neglected if left till he is older; let him get the three R's as "circumstances may permit,' or necessity compel. For, if he has a practical mind, he is pretty sure to learn to write aud reckon, of his own accord. Again Mr. Stevens says, the higher brauches of learning "belong to a special institution, the college." For what reason ? Is there not two sides to this question? Is the dan ger of starvation the greatest danger which confronts the babe, so that he must be hastily indoctrinated in the ways of the "practical" world, taught to turn an honest penny and earn bis bread? Or is there another' danger 'equally groat? the danger of becom ing sordid, mercenary, selfish, world ly, narrow-minded and grasping? Why not "begin at the other end of the ladder?" Why not? If our bread and butter is all we are to 6eok for in this world, auy sort of education is superfluous. "The barbarous savage," whose "uplifted tomahawk" came so near ending the career of Mr. Stevens, probably never felt the need of knowing how to spell. If it is for happiness we are to seek, we can get happiness without money which money cannot buy. I shall make the almighty dollar my servant by refusing to become its slave. My ewn experience as teacher and student leads me to divide the young into three classes, those who prefer the study of mathematics or natural science, those who prefer the study of lauguages or literature, and those who prefer not to 6tudy at all. The last is by far the most numerous class. I hope the boy of whom Mr. Stevens speaks is not found in its ranks. If this should happen to meet bis eye the following may help him. An eminent living scholar said in tho presence of the writer, "I have made it a rule from my childhood to give special attention to all those branches of 6tudy which seemed to me most difficult and distasteful. I would not let them master me ; I mas tered them." The boy who adopts that rule will be sure of success. Franklin Pierce.

John Ernst, who has been on a visit to Switzerland, returned on Friday last, accompanied by Tedro Schup bach, Caesar and Gustav Ernst, Albert Haeggi, wife and child, Marie Meyer, Marie and Ellie Specheger, Anna Marti, and Jacob aud John Yauzer, all from the canton of Berne. The trip was made in 16 days 2 from Switzerland to Bremen, 10 from Bre men to New York, and 4 from there here. Mr. Ernst, who has made five trips upon the ocean, says that this was his finest voyage. The ship Elbe, in which they came, is 420 feet long, 50 feet high, and bad in it 24 furnaces, burning 130 tons of coal a day. Re turning, she had on board 1430 pas sengers and a crew of 178, besides a large amount of freight, and still had room in the first cabin for 500 addi tional passengers. Mr. Ernst made the trip more espe cially to see his mother, who is in her eighty-fourth year. We learn from him many interesting items in regard to the country, people, and business interests, ofwhich we give a fow. Land, according to location, sells at $100 to $500 an acre; the country is too densely populated for the poorer class to flourish well ; the main industries are manufactures and dairies ; day laborers get 30 cents a day. farm bands. $50 to $60 a year, mechanics, 60 to 80 conts a day. The chief farm products now are grass and potatoes, from the latter of which is made a good quality of whisky. City Ticket.
