Senecal is making a two story addition to his barn, the body being a concrete, composed of lime and sand. And now the owners of the har vesters and reapers and binders are looking them over to see bow much is yet in them. The auctiou boy's bell was one of the clamorous things on our streets last week sale being made of the Heidelberger store. Frank Stewart is recovering from a combined attack of fever and liver complaint, and looks slim. He took sick near Fremont.

The corn is coming on apace, and should be kept clean. Men who want employment can find it here. Hereafter, the A. & N. train will arrive in Columbus at S:30; the hour for leaving is the same 5:45. The new time schedule took effect Sunday last. The street sprinkler is not 60 much of a necessity this season as we have seen it in times past. It is well enough to be provided against the dust. Hud. Murdock's team ran off with him Saturday, injuring him somewhat. His wife jumped from the wagon when in motion, and es caped injury. Jno. Ey man, we are sorry to learn, had a severe 'spell" of bleeding at the luugs last week ; several years ago, it is thought he burst a Bmall blood vessel while lifting a log. Mr. J. M. Pearce paid us a busi ness visit last Thursday. The crops in Palestine valley look good, and farmers are in excellent spirits over the prospect ahead of tbem. Thos. M. Wilson thinks ho has as clean a piece of coin as any other farmer, and he attributes something of its virtue to the fact that he don't make use of the shields on his corn plo - aCob Ern6t has purchased the property occupied by Greisen Bros., on the corner of Eleventh and North streets, and, we learn that be will , erect thereon a large, brick business house. All who have paid their sub scription to the Journal for the year 1SS2 are entitled to a copy of Kendall's treatise on the horse and his diseases, in either English or s iv (jpMiAlU! a lMilL large stocknet vtooir ' twinlieeij8iiearaarftl iwire gauze.

At the present rate of occupy- ,f ing it will be but a few years until '' the "town herd" will have to hunt for ..pastures new. Carl Kramer returned Thursday from his sojourn at Chicago, where he took charge of Max's store while he was absent east. Carl 6ays that the current of business runs ewift and strong in the Garden city. Barclay Jones, a former citizen of this county, was in town Saturday. He tells us that he expects his family shortly. He don't know as yet wheth er he will come back to stay. The Indians at the Santee Agency have learned bow to make their own flour, under his direction, and can now get aloo without him. Dr. E. Hohen went west Tuesday of last week to rusticate and recuper ate. th ill It is understood here that the county Alliance at their meeting Sat urday last at Platte Center deter mined to nominate a ticket of their own for this county at the fall elec tion. Mr. A. Walker, of Omaha, was in the city over Sunday under treat ment with doctor Wheeler for tape worm. He went home Monday a well pleased man, and the worm now occupies a bottle in the doctor's office. W. T. Ransdell tells as of a rela tion of his in Iowa who picked up in his corn field, a package of letters and valuables belonging to a gentleman in Grinnttll, Iowa, carried by the recent cyclone one hundred and fifty miles, unharmed. Land is increasing in demand hereabouts, and prices, therefore, have an upward tendency. The list of weekly transfers which has appeared in the Journal has showed the marked activity of the real estate market during this spring. The spirit of improvement is abroad in Platto county, and if crops and prices shall prove to be as good thiB year as last, a large portion of the surplus will go to putting up dwel lings, barns, better shelters, fences, &c, and to the development of new business interests, manufacturing, etc. Last Thursday Alice Turner took a pinch of concentrated lye, mistaking it for sugar. It pained her fearfully for a few moments, until her mother found the cause of it, when the appli cation of vinegar took off the severe edge of the pain, and cream still fur ther soothed the reddened tongue and lips. A runaway, Friday, of Frank North's horse and baggy empty, coursing up 11th street to the depot, going back to Olive, along 12th, up Nebraska Avenue, against Winter botham's buggy, also Pat. Murray's and Rasmussen's wagon, the horse being injured so badly as to make it advisable to shoot her. Statements as they I home are liable to grow. The cyclone which visited a scope of country be tween this city and David City re cently killed a cow. The story now told is, that the cow was taken up and landed one mile distant. The story may, however, be true; no one at hand saw the place where she went up or the place where she came down. Our Little Ones and the Nursery lies before us as bright, cheery, sensi ble as ever. We can but commend its handsome pages to both young and old, for, though the language is adapted to childhood the sentiments will be relished by the youth of an older growth. Send $1.50 to the Pub lishing Co., 36 Bromfield St., Boston, and receive the little magazine for one year. To Denver, Colorado Springs, Pueblo and return, for $38. The U. P. management have made this short rate ticket to suit those who wish to spend the summer "among the snow capped peaks of the grandest of American Mountains." The trains pass in plain sight of the following peaks : Long, James', Gray's, Pike's and Spanish, and through eight of the principal cities of Colorado. We have not further space this week to speak of this matter, but will give One of Platte county's farmers says that box elder trceB make a splendid hedge ; that be saw in Sarpy county such a hedge, close enough and strong enough to turn chickens, hogs, sheep and horses. The method is to set the trees where, (if it was a "worm" fence the corners would be), and when they grow to be about five feet high cut the tops off. This will start the undergrowth so as to form a close strong fence. Thos. McPhillips has, probably, one of the best timber claims in the country, twenty -two acres out of eighty being devoted to trees of va rious varieties walnut, ash, oak, box elder, elm, cottonwood, butternut, &c. They have been planted five years, were put in ten feet apart, corn being worked in between for the first four years. Mc. ought certainly to be prond of the handsome appearance that his trees give to his place, and of the value that they add to it A reader of the Journal assures us that one who has never tried it, can scarcely imagine the utility of fenced fields for stock of all kinds ; that there are benefits in several ways the stock are greatly improved in condition, above the ordinary method of herding in the west, rest ing when they wish, aBd grazing late and early ; that the stock have their freedom, and are not chased by herd er and dogs ; the cost of herding is dispensed with; the annoyance of herding (it is probably the most ob jectionable labor done upoa a farm) is got rid of. The Journal would add to this array of benefits that the fencing should also include the lands that are cropped, so that when the harvest which the farmer takes off in bis wagon is placed in the granary, the second harvest may be ready for the free use and benefit ef the kegs and cattle. The Journal believes that farming will not be at its fall tide here, nntil the farms are properly fenced. - well.

Rain, lightning and thunder visited this locality Thursday evening. D. Anderson is feediug a large amount of buttermilk to his hogs. A cool breeze Saturday was gratefully received by everybody hereabouts. Dr. Martyn can show splendid samples of wool from his pair of handsome Merinos. Ed. Dwyer, of St. Edwards, was in town on the Fourth and gave this office a very pleasant call. Chas. Kavanaogb, brother to oar Sheriff, started for home last Friday morning, after a pleasant visit. The minutes of the county Alli ance were received too late for thiB iisue, but will appear next week. Prof. Commery, the music teach er, takes his departure the latter part of the week for his home in Cleve land, Ohio. Dr. J. J. Byrne is down from Denver,his new home, visiting friends. He iB much pleased with Denver and will return some time this week. Mr. A. J. Garlow has been con fined to bis room for the past week with a very severe attack of diptheria. We learn he is slowly improving. Major Frank North, of Columbus, sold to Coe & Carter of Omaha, the cattle herd of about 4,000 head and the ranch of Cody & North. The price paid was over $90,000. Thos. McPhillips walked twenty six miles Friday to town rather than take a horse out of his corn plow a sensible act plowing on such a day would add a good per cent to the value of the crop. Henry Voss, an architect from Omaha, iB here in connection with the improvements to be made on the Opera building in this city. The building is to be made 40 feet wide and 90 feet long, with a gallery, and to have a seating capacity of over 500. A rumor was circulated here Friday that Guiteau had bad a respite of two hours granted. Tho conject ures as to the reason therefor were various, some supposing it to be to examine into his alleged insanity; others, that he had tried to commit suicide and the authorities were wait ing until he should be decently ready to be hanged, &c, &c. One of our citizens went so far as to say he had always thought the assassin would escape his just deserts, and that tb.e president would risk his own life in pardoning him. Farmers are beginning to be a little anxious about their wheat crop. We have had and are continuing to hayo so much rain that there will be, if it continues, a question as to what the harvest shall be. At present, the prospect is very fair, leaving plenty of time between showers for harvest ing. The numerous chinch bngs on the ground are kept there pretty well by the wet weather, and it may con tinue thus long enough to enure the crop. An excellent crop of oats and rye can be looked for, and the corn is growing equal to the best season in Nebraska, which is all that can be desired. In every direction that we are aware of the careful, industrious farmer has reason to congratulate himself upon the outlook. Thoee who are looking for work, and then when they can get a job, don't accept it, had better five Co lumbus the go-by. One of our citi zens, a landlord, was applied to the other day by one of these chaps for a meal. He told him he could give him a job of work and furnish him a meal in payment, but this didn't suit the would-be industrious stranger, and the probability is that be found a soft-hearted stranger who donated a meal to pamper his laziness and in crease in him the spirit of restless, aimless roving and disgraceful beg gary. The self-respecting, industri ous portion of the community owe it to their own sense of what is fair and proper not to support these able bodied tramps, but save their pity as well as their dollars for tho really helpless and feeble. Hon. G. C. Barnnm returned the first of the week from his trip to Col orado, Wyoming, Utah and Idaho. Like everybody else who has been there, he was charmed with Salt Lake City and its surroundings. The wide streets, the running water, the fruit and flower gardens are all delightful to the eye. He says the Mormons are a very industrious and thrifty people, and, withal, determined to maintain their interest in polygamy, even un der the new law which allows no participation in public matters by practical polygamists. They claim friends enough among the non-polyg-amists to still wield the political pow er of the territory. Mr. Barnnm met one of his youthful acquaintances there, who has several wives and is the happy father of 36 children. During a drive through the pre cincts of Columbus, Sherman and Bismark the first of the week the writer of this itejn observed some of the finest crops of small grain he has seen in a long time. The season at first was a little backward for corn. but during the favorable weather of the past few week this cereal has made rapid strides towards insuring an abundant yield. At the farm of ex-Commissioner Wise he saw oats that would be hard to beat; also a honey locust hedge which is in a thriving condition. John is making some valuable improvements on his dwelling, and when completed will make a cosy and comfortable abode. The writer takes this method of re turning the thanks of himself and companion to Mr. and Mrs. Ed. New man and the Adamy Bros, for their hospitality iu appeasing the wants of the inner man. Soil cK MtiCif xUtiveT -John Huber's "gentle racket" will be in briBk demand again as of yore, and what Jno. don't know of public sales who is having them,wbat is to be sold, what prices they ought to bring, etc., will hardly be worth inquiring after. A sale of a man's entire per oonal or real effects is an important matter, and John makes it his business to consult the best interests of those who employ him. Geo. Birney believes in manuring land ; last year he hauled on to his fielks 500 loads, the year before 700. No wonder that be has been very successful in the 25 years he has been here, raising 70 to 80 bushels of corn to the acre, making improvements, &c. With good farming he unites stock raising, and furnishes for the mirket some of the best hogs and cattle raised in the State. He be lieves in plenty of good water, feed and shelter. Mr. J. B. Rynerson, recently from III., is very favorably impressed with Nebraska, though he seems to thiuk the lightnings of heaven are a little nearer to us than to older states. It used to be told as that in the early days of Nebraska the thunder and lightning storms traveled right along on top of the ground, and that it was uo uncommon thingto see the prairie schooner staked and roped solidly to the earth, with a lightning rod stretched towards the threatening clouds above. Ono of the farmer's chief prob lems just now is, What to do with the potatoe bugs. If there are several acres of the valuable tubers on the farm, the work of destroying tho bugs takes a considerable portion of the farmer's time and attention, but to have a crop, they must be destroyed. These pernicious pests increase at such a rapid rate that they will over run your crop unless you destroy tbem betimes. "Each female is ca pable of depositing upwards of a thousand eggs before she becomes barren, and in from thirty to forty days from the time they are deposited, they will have produced perfect beetles. These beetles are again capable of depositing eggs in about two weeks after issuing from the ground, and thus, in about fifty days after the egg is laid, the offspring begins to propagate." A good authority gives the following method of applying Paris green, which seems the most effectual manner of getting rid of the bugs, especially in dry weather as in rainy weather, the poison is apt to be washed off the vines. As it is a preparation of arsenic, and is a deadly poison, it should be handled by very careful persons. ''One part of Paris green may be mixed with about twenty of cheap flour, and dusted over the vines early in the morning, while the dew is on the leaves. The simplest way is to sift the flour from a fine muslin bag attached to a pole, beating the bag with a stick, or from a dredging box." Flour is better than ashes be cause it will stick closer to the leaves. One application is said to be suf ficient for one brood. Destroy the eggs which will be found in clusters on the nnder side of the leaves. IMIac !!' Keacae Was greeted by a full bouse Saturday evening and right well did all do. The personations, all good, were: Red Riding Hood, Grace Geer; Mamma, Rose North ; Grandma, Mary Turner; Grandma's daughter, Stella North; Woodman, Chas. Coolidge; Wolf, Elmer Smith; Butter Cups, Minnie Small, Minnie Meagher; Roses, Mary Bremer, Nettie Cowdery ; Effie, Annie George; Nettie, Eva Hudson; Rob bie, Bert Coolidge ; Blue Bells, Nellie Smith, Alice Cowdery, Stella Becher, Courtney Dale, Pearl Bonesteel, Maud Winterbotham, Ena Clother, Nellie North. The chorus was sustained by Annie and Stella Becher, Kittle and Alice Cowdery, Ida and Minnio Small, Anna and Martha Turner, Stella and Mazie North, E. Rickly, C, B. and W. Coolidge, Carrie Dale, Ida and Minnie Meagher, Phoebe Phillips, Eva Hudson, Mary Bremer, Nellie and Elmer Smith. Miss Lillian Smith, accompanyist, performed her part admirably. The soloists, without exception, showed an excellent appreciation of their sev eral characters, and the chorus was exceptionally clear, distinct and har monious. Prof. Commery's piano solo was roandly applauded, as were the Maennercbor. Mrs. Page deserves much credit for the manner in which she prepared the young people for the occasion, and their series of instructions will long be remembered. Btelaff. June 25, 1882. Ed. Joubkal : Tornado with se vere hail ruined wheat, rye, oats bar ley and flax ; corn all cut down to the gronnd, but probably part of it will grow again ; fruit trees and vines in a ragged bad fix, and many totally killed ; the glass in nearly every win dow all broke by the hail. How ex tensive the storm was I do not know, but I do know we are a badly cut up community here, it -being too late in the season to replant everything. Your correspondent feels much dis couraged ; years of labor again gone in orchard and garden ; bouse off the cellar and badly strained; bouse on the farm taken two rods and tnrued around, and with others all crops to tally mined. We have learned of no loss of life, my wife being the only one injured, foot badly bruised and small -bone broken above the ankle ; and my son Edward a cat in the foot, We do not feel like writing much, Mr. Turner, bat it looks blue here; no grain for bread ; no grain for teams unless a little of the corn starts again ; cherries, blackberries, &c, &c, all down in the mud, and a long time before we can again carry our wheat to mill. But we must submit to the inevitable. War Not. Keal EMtate TranHrer. Reported for the Journal for the week ending last Saturday, by Gus. G. Becher & Co. : Elkhorn Land and Town Lot Co., to David E.

Creston, like the rest of the world, has had her share of wind, rain and hail, but thus far with no serious re sults. The hail on the 17th injured about 60 acres of small grain for E. T. Graham ; nearly every house in the settlement was left without glass on the north and west sides, all the men were caught in the fields, and slight accidents are reported. Wm. Knight's team ran away with the cultivator; coming to the house his wife saw them aud rushing out bare-headed and armed, stood like a hero during the peltiiig of tho bail, receiving many bruises. The wind on the 19th shifted the house of S. Flcmming on sec. 16, 16 feet'from its foundation. The lightning on tho 27th struck the house of John Devovo, tearing out the"gable and shocking Mrs. De Vovc so that she was unconscious some time. He was thrown violently through the door hurting his foot. Mrs. Wm. Jackson bad a fine daughter on the 26th, all doing well. Greatly to the regret of all the people, Rev. Wm. Kimball will de liver bis farewell sermon on July 2. He has been much beloved and re spected by all denominations; the field is to be divided, the new man coming here. A. The Fair Under the management of the Columbus Driving Park and Fair Aasociation.which was held Monday and Tuesday, was an enjoyable affair to those who take an in terest In contests of speed and skill. The attendance on the first day was rather light, on the second a gratifying increase, in fact a large attendance, and the weather was all that could be asked. The program was, in brief, about as follows: A gams of base bail between the Keystones of Columbus and the Albions of Boone county, the former nine con sisting of C. and F. Wake.Loeb, Brindley, Evans, Scott, Baker, Hudson and Fair child the latter, Harling, Metcalf, Lc mant, Willott, L., W., and Lewis Clark, Lange, and Kumnall. Scorers, Smith and Briggs; Umpire, G. W. Phillips. Result, 13 to 4 in favor of the Keystones. The shooting match was between three clubs two of Columbus, and one from Platte Center. Columbus No. 1, Jackson, Lundy, Arnold, Hays and Schroder scor ed 45: Platte Center, Fields, H. H. and Frank Eyinan, Carrig and 3Iaher, scored 43; Columbus No. 2, Bissell, Thurston, Boutson, McGlinchy and McKelvey, 3G. In the pony race, the entries were Ha ney's Jack of Diamonds, Griffin's Black Bess, Ellston's Bawly the Fraud, Stew art's Sorrel Harry ( heats, won by Jack of Diamonds, time 60, 57, 59 and 58 Bess and Bawly, 2d and 3d. In the three minute trotting race, Har- kins'a Frank Glenwood was first, Isgrig's Magnet Chief second, Stevens's Gray Dan third, and Fuller's Callaway Kate fourth. In the free-for-all trotting race the en tries were Stewart's Sleepy Jack, Har kins's Frank Glenwood, Scott's Frank, Stewart's Lulu, the latter afterwards withdrawn. They won in the order named, Sleepy Jack's time being 2: .", 2: 40Ji, 2: 41. Free-for-all running, Benn's "Nell" was 1st, Ellston's "Bawly" 2d aud Griffin's "Bess" 3d. The fat man's race, reported as quite amusing, was won by S. O. Raymond 1st, as against J. E. North 2d and Sheriff Kav anaugh 3d. Nebraska, When viewed by an unprejudiced eye, Is simply a grand and magnificent State. Its broad prairies for farming and grazing purposes are not excell ed ; and a few more years will witness the raising of all the best kinds of fruit, equal to any raised in the older states. Tho longer one remains and witnesses the products and advanta ges of the country, the stronger the attachment of the settler becomes for his new home. Old home has just claims on the affections, and once in a while a new settler in Nebraska makes a mistake by being controlled by old home ties, and thus drawn back by bis former love. If facts are not stated in what fol lows any number of living witnesses are at hand to correct them. Rev. W. T. Price some years since purchased land some four miles east of this city, erected new and comfortable build ings thereon in a beautiful location, and in a short time bad bis farm well under cultivation. He frequently acted as minister to and worshiped with the M. E. congregation of this city, with great acceptauce to the peo ple, aud his social relations must have been very agreeable with our citi zens. Suddenly he met a sad Iobb. in the death of his wife, and in the days and nights of bis troubles be conclu ded there was no remedy but to sell his farm and return to his old friends and home in Western Virginia, which in a short time he accomplished. He stopped only a brief time in Virginia and then returned to Nebraska, and iq a few months purchased another farm near Richland, Colfax county, Neb., a beautiful location in a rich farming and grazing country. This is one instance in which the beauty and advantages of Nebraska over old home attachments, hills and rocks prevailed. Here he has no rocks to remove, no steep hills to climb and no side hills to farm nothing but a breaking plow and a strong team of horses are needed to turn over the sod, and your fields are ready for corn the first year and thereafter for all farming purposes. No worry or trouble in getting in and cultivating tame grasses, as the entire prairie are covered with rich nutritious grasses, which fatten stock very rap idly, with plenty of natural hay land to supply the demand in every neigh borhood. Just now a large number of persons are locating in the State, some taking new lands and others purchasing im proved farms. We recommend to all seeking new homes in the State that a personal inspection of the country is the proper tbing to aid you in form ing a correct opinion ; at all events do not come without doing bo, unless sure that you can control your love for old home and old friends, even if Nebraska shonld be a second Eden. It Still CoBtlHes. Tho Journal's information is to the effect that gambling is still engaged iu, within the limits of the city, but that it is not so open and apparent as heretofore, in fact that most of it takes place now in day time, when the movements of officials can be no ticed ; in an attic, where the gamblers canuot be seen ; with the stairway aud entrances well guarded against the admission of intruders, and with concealed places of exit. It is something to say that the youth of our city do not now, as a rule, engage in this fascinating crime, but it would be something to know that it was no longer practiced among us. Tho Journal has become odious to certain gentlemen, it seems, for its outspoken, straightforward course in this matter. If the truth which ouirht to be published is odious, it is no fanlt of ours, and we assure these gentle men that wo wish them, one aud all, personally, tho best of good fortune, except that which comc3 through success at the gaming table, and it is because we wish them no harm that we persist in calling loudly for the suppression of this vice iu Columbus. It onght not be necessary for citizens to wait until some of their owu friends are on the high road to ruin before they think and feel and talk and act concerning this thing one of the uses of the intellect is to apprehend the results of different courses of ac tion, and to know that what affects a considerable portion of a communi ty affects all of it, and that unpunish ed violation of the laws of the laud, in one instance, tend to bring con tempt upon our system of govern ment. CHRIST EVER NEAR. There is One ever near us When our hearts with anguish ache. There is One willing to hear us If we to him our trials take. Though prone to disbelieve it Yet we read in His word, Grace is for all who receive it Of this truth we are assured. Darkness oft obscures the way. We scarce can see for blinding tears. 'Tis then we need to pray To Him who can dispel our fears. If we feel by nim forsaken, We should call upon His name And with a faith yet unshaken Persevere and trust the same. Over the rugged walks of life The Savior is a constant puiilo Leading us through worldly strife While we have our Lord denied. Oh, may our lives be like Jesus' In every word, thought and deed, For He ever, ever sees us Aud supplies our greatest need. Mrs. M. E. Tigner. Grow Meetiasr.
