well to keep track of this sale, and

"J. W." in a communication to the
Journal this week cites "Skimmer,"
the Democrat's correspondent, for
authority upon the duties of woman,
to St. Paul's epistle to tbe Ephesians,
5th chapter, 22d, 23d and 24th verses,
and first epistle to Timothy 2d chapter
from 11th to 15th verse. "J. W."
claims the weight of authority on bis
side and thinks "Skimmer's" "feet
have never been blistered traveling on
tbe hard and thorny road to Dam
ascus." Last week a man employed about
Scott's livery stable and known by the
name of "Rany" Haar, was discovered
to have been appropriating property
that did not belong to him. J. C
McMahon was working a cine which
he thought wonld lead to the detection
of the thief who stole George Matth
ew's watch, hot which fastened the
theft of Henry Kessler's watch npon
the man Haar. Kessler was also em
ployed about the stable, and the theft
wa9 made from his trunk in the office.
Haar was suspected of other thefts,
and given a limited time to leave town.
The B. & M. excursion train Fri
day brought a number of people from
Seward, David City and intermediate
points, to see the sights at the last
day of our county fair and witness
the trials of speed. That the free-for-all
trotting race with entries of
some of the noted horses of the state
was not finished that day for want of
daylight was nndonbtedly a disap
pointment to many. Only fonr heats
had been trotted at six o'clock and it
was decided that the conclusion of
the race would have to be postponed
until the following morning.
Mr. Samuel Curtis, lately visiting
Al. Arnold of this city presented him
with a nice little present that he is
very proud of, being sportsman
enough to thoroughly appreciate. The
present consists of a pair of silver
pocket scales, drawing eight pounds
and shutting np in compact form not
larger than a small pen knife. For
fisherman, to determine the weight of
a good catch, its a daisy little Instru
ment. Al. gave his friend a taste of
fishing sport in these parts, the twain

A special correspondent of the
Glasgow Herald, in a letter to that
sheet, under date of 29th June, makes
deprecatory mention of our friend D.
A. Lord in stating that he drew the
long bow in reference to sheep rais
ing and wool-growing in this rejrion.
The Scotch correspondent, whose li
quor was probably better than hie
judgment, should be told that Mr.
Lord is one of the most careful of
men, and that all bis statements made
to this man, if he could gather them
together in the connection tbev were
delivered to him, would be found to
be exactly and strictly in accordance
with tbe facts of the case. The large
loss of sheep that this correspondent
refers to was of some purchased in
Denver, and lost in tbe drive during
a very severe storm of rain and sleet.
When Mr. Lord purchased the sheep
they were in poor condition and he
expected to lose a considerable num
ber of them. Owing to their condi
tion, the price paid was little above
that of a good pelt, and the purchaser
was not a loser in reality (even on
this flock) but, on the contrary, made
money out of them. Tbe Scotch
correspondent seems to have forgot
ten that an American can have more
than one flock of sheep at a time, and
that general remarks on sheep culture
in this country, are very correctly
based upon geueral, and not upon
special and peculiar instances. It is
not uncommon, for instance, to have
a flock increase 80 per cent. One of
Mr. Lord's flocks of ewes, 600 in
number, reproduced last spring 585
lambs, and such a rate of increase is
not uncommon. If our Scotch news
paper friend will come over here
again, and agree to set naught down
in malice, we know he will tell a dif
ferent story of Mr. Lord's report
concerning aheep-cnlMt'R in Nebras
ka. Tbe same correspoudent "draws
a very long bow" when be cries down
the land in our neighboring Nance
county, and at the same time praises
up Missouri and Kansas. The huge
crops on the cultivated tracts, and the
immense growth of grass on the
virgin soil, speak volumes of praise
for Nebraska, which no amount of
misrepresentation and downright
falsehood can get rid of, and need
only be referred to by way of illus
trating how mean and untruthful a
man can be, either on general lack of
principle, or because he is paid for
manufacturing opinion for some man
who has lands for sale elsewhere.
The Fair.
The attendance at the fair was good,
reaching as high as 1500 on Thursday,
over 1,000 tickets being sold that day.
The weather was fine, and every thing
favorable to a good exhibition. Tbe
display showed that tbe county is
able to compete in this line, so far as
superior quality of products is con
cerned, with any in the State. A large
number of diplomas will be issued,
but at tbe present a list can not be
secured. The special premiums offer
ed by tbe business men of the city
will be published in our next The
receipts were about $1400, and the
cash premiums awarded $1200, or
over. The improvements on the
grounds this year coat about $1,000.

Among tbe farming community
threshing and haying Is the order of
the day. Farmers who have threshed
say that all kinds of small grain is
yielding well, and corn aa we all are
aware of looks very promising in
deed. Our grain buyers have commenced
buying and are paying very good
prices.
Our town physician, Dr. Ed
wards has repaired to rural life and is
erecting a large and substantial brick
structure.

having shot 23 prairie chickens in part

capacity and so on.
Quite a number of our citizens are
speaking of visiting the State fair at
Omaha this fall.
John Timothy will teach the school
of the Dist. just northeast of Platte
Center this winter. He has followed
the occupation of instructor for some
time in this neighborhood and has
given general satisfaction.
The dwelling of Patrick Morrisey
burnt down last week, but is luckily
insured.
It appears the Alliance excitement
is all over as but little is spoken
thereof lately.
Nearly all our country cousins,
(school inarms,) have been attending
the teachers Institute which makes
quite a scarcity of them for the time
being, in the country. So says
