One day last we?k Hon. Guy C.
Barnum saw a snake swimming round
in Clear Creek. While this is a stream
fed by springs, and never has been
known to freeze over, the fact shows
the Nebraska climate about as well aB
anything could.
One of our oldest farmers who
has given the subject considerable
study thinks tbe price of corn will be
"up" before tbe next crop comes into

on the fact that the crop of 1881 was
entirely used up.

The Tecumseh Chieftain says that
John Sherman has husked 10,000
bushels of corn this fall. He raised
4,600 bushels on 80 acres on the poor
farm, and the balance on 100 acres of
his own farm. This is a good sample
of the capabilities of Nebraska soil
for corn raising.
M. S. Cottrell of North Bend, one
of tho oldest and best citizens of
Dodge Co., accidentally fell from his
wagon the other day, upon the bard
frozen ground. It was at first thought
he had received fatal internal injur
ies, but he is now better, although not
over the effects of his fall.
If we are allowed to judge from
the number of people in the city last
Friday and Saturday, laying in sup
plies of holiday gifts, Monday last
was about the liveliest Christmas Ne
braska ever saw. Certainly, the jolly
Kris Kringle never saw a pleasanter
day or brighter countenances.
The Ulysses Dispatch prints as
original matter a small paragraph
(local) which first saw tbe light of
newspaper day in the Joubnal. We
don't care, for ourselves particularly,
but those who read both papers and
likewise those who don't, may be
misled sometime, if this thing con
tinues. Millions of dollars are spent in
tbe United States of America in the
purchase of presents for relatives,
friends, acquaintances and the little
folks during tbe CbristmaB and New
Year's holidays. According to her
population Nebraska citizens make
annually as generous an investment
as the older states,
We were so very busy on Satur
day last that we could not get to the
mass meeting at tbe Court House.
We are informed that Senator Brown
of Colfax and representatives McAl
lister, North and Scbroeder were
present, and that some resolutions
were adopted as expressing tbe senti
ment cf the meeting.
The New York Weekly Tribune
says in regard to the Noyes Diction
ary Holder, manufactured by L. W.
Noyes, 99 West Monroe St., Chicago :
"We know of but one satisfactory
Holder; that, however, is so good
that a second is not needed." Mr.
Noyes sends to all applicants a hand
some illustrated circular. Prices re
duced.
Don't fail to read the advertise
ments concerning the American Agri
culturist. We know this publication
to be a most excellent one, aud can
commend it to oar readers, without
reservation. We shall, in a few days,
have a copy of tbe picture mentioned,
on exhibition, so that subscribers can
see for themselves. We have no doubt
it is just as represented.
The will of the late Barclay Jones
of Genoa was probated at Fullerton
Thursday last before his honor, Judge
Thea. F. Elliott. It is understood
that, after the payment of all just
claims against the estate, tbe remain
der of the property shall belong,
without qualification, to the widow.
Mr. W. W. Mannington of this county
was named as executor in tbe will.
Among the many valuable Christ
mas goods disposed of by J. E. Man
ger, was an elegant parlor and bed
room suite which he sold to John E.
Dack, a wealthy Platte Co. farmer,
for $175 00. The fine stock of goods
which Munger carries fully meets tbe
wants of the people and any one in
need of furniture will find it to their
advantage to consult him before they
purchase. It
The Butler Co. Press remarks
that S. S. Reynolds, senator elect of
Butler and Polk counties, is not a Dr.
Miller man. He is understood here
to be a thorough-going anti-monopolist,
though of democratic antecedents,
much the same position as occupied
by senator Brown of this district,
although of the latter the Schuyler
Sun says he will be found democratic
every time.
Rev. Father Ryan, who has re
cently been in Chicago, gives a
graphic description of their slush and
mud, compared with Nebraska's good
natural roads. One year's residence
here will satisfy the most skeptical
of eastern farmers who have, daring
some parts of the year, to wade thro'
mud knee deep to get to station, post
office, store or church. Just think of
it, ye Nebraskans, who can trot your
teams along nature's best highway.
It will be well enough, perhaps,
for those who know how to make
syrup from sorghum and who like tbe
business, to sea what they can do with
the method of making sugar from
sorghum, discovered by Profs. Sco-
ville and Weber of tbe Illinois State
University. It is said that from 250
acres, there have been made 125,000
pounds of sugar and 22,000 gallons of
syrup, Worth $19,000, or an average of
$75 to tbe acre. Very tempting to a
Nebraskan.
Of course Columbus is interested
in any railroad scheme in this section
of country. The Boone County News
says that the talk about a railroad
from Norfolk to Grand Island is not
all speculation ; there is real founda
tion for the belief that tbe road will
be built in the not distant future, and
when it is built, Albion will not, as
some suppose, be left out in the cold.
This would take away from the Columbus-Norfolk
branch considerable
through freight.
Tasker and Sons' sale took place
Dec. 14th, amounting to $2100. About
half the payments were cash. Milch
cows brought $30 to $35; yearling
heifers, $20 to $24; two year old
heifers $30 to $45 : one year old steers,
$23)4; two years old, $29. As all
will see, these wore excellent prices.
The stock were extra good grades,
and from what we are told of the
original investment by the Tasker
Bros, it undoubtedly pays well to
raise good stock.
A man by tbe name of Herch, a
bachelor of Stauton county, was found
last Thursday in the woods on the
banks of tbe Elkhorn froze to death.
In the middle of the river near by
was also found his wagon. The par
ticulars of the sad affair came to ns
abaut as follows: A week ago last
Saturday Mr. Herch was in Stanton,
and, it is said, left for home on the
evening of that day somewhat under
the influence of liquor, aud this was
the last time he was seen until found
as above stated. Norfolk Journal.
Very Cbooked. The crookedest of
crooked work, and yet that which has
grace and elegance in every crook,
may be seen In tbe Noyes Dictionary
Holders and Noyes Handy Tables.
In them the fact is clearly demonstra
ted that if tbe inventor has not made
the crooked straight, he has made the
straight crooked, and thereby increas
ed its beauty and utility. People In
search of holiday presents will appre
ciate bis success. A fine Illustrated
circular may be had free by address
ing L. W. Noyes, 99 West Monroe
St., Chicago. The prices have been
greatly reduced.
A goodly number of eastern
farmers will visit Nebraska this win
ter to look over the situation. We
have met several already who are full
of query concerning this region which
has so suddenly (as it would seem),
filled the eyes of our eastern friends.
Nebraska has great merits, many of
which are apparent to the most casual
observer, and some of which are
realized after a short residence, It
always seemed to us 'that, as none
should choose a wife for another, so
noue should select a residence for an
other. The best way for those con
templating a move is to come here,
and look over the situation for them
selves. Take nobody's say-so. Make
your own inquiries. Do your own
investigating. Use your own eyes
and judgment. If yon want to get
cheap land, however, it is our opin
ion, (and we don't hesitate to give it
freely), you must make your pur
chases before many years, for tbe rise
in price is rapid.
Bob. Maxwell, of Battle Creek,
has been appointed postmaster at that
town. Bob. will evidently give good
satisfaction to tbe people of B. C. in
that capacity. Norfolk Journal.
From the very first the aforesaid
"Bob." was an exceedingly active Val
entine partisan. Did anybody ever
say that he bad been promised the
post-office ?
Genoa has been struck with a
streak of good luck. Workmen are
busy rejuvenating the old Pawnee
school-house for occupancy again as
an Indian school, and we are inform
ed that the government will next
summer erect two brick buildings
40x80 feet, three stories high, besides
about a dozen frame dwellings, for
the Indians, at a cost of $150,000.
Outside of the fact that this large sum
of money is to be expended there
next summer giving a decided in
crease to business, there is a general
air of thriftiness, prosperity and en
ergy about the town that is certainly
good to see. It will be a fact, sooner
or later, that tbe water power of tho
Beaver will be utilized for manufac
turing purposes, and the men of cap
ital, there and elsewhere in Nebraska,
will make a paying investment for
themselves, and also greatly benefit
their communities, by taking Time by
the forelock, seeking the practical
men, and building up trade. This is
the gospel of thrift in these days for
Nebraska towns favorably located.
Tbe M. E. Sunday school and
members of the church departed from
their usual custom and prepared their
Christmas tree, held their festival and
distributed their presents to the little
folks Saturday evening. Tbe children,
parents and friends filled the church
with a crowd, many being unable to
procure a seat, otherwise the occasion
was enjoyable ; and to the little folks,
judging from appearances, were filled
with hopeful expectation, which was
fully realized in the distribution of
preseuts. The programme consisted
of music by tbe choir. Opening
prayer and address by Mr. Swortzel,
which were brief and very appro
priate. Dialogue and song by tbe in
fant class. They performed their
parts with credit to themselves. Select
readings appropriate for the occasion
by Miss Anna George and Miss Mate
Wadswortb and an essay by Mr. C. J.
Garlow, followed by music from the
choir closed this part of the proceed
ings, when Santa Claus was announc
ed, who was dressed in a fur coat and
cap with a horribly ugly face and a
nose not easily described, but not in
disguise we learn the young Mr. Mor
gan is passibly handsome ; and at once
he proceeded, assisted by others, to
distribute the numerous presents.

CO. TREASURER'S ANNUAL REPORT.
It Makes a good Showing of the Pros
perity of the County and State,
and an Active Interest by
Treasurer Early.
His report to us through Deputy L.
Weaver, showing the total amouut of
state, county, school and city taxes
collected, from Nov. 1st, 1881, to Nov.
1st, 1882, for each year, is as follows :
Collected for the year 1870, $82.78,
'71, $88.16, '72, $151.38, 73, $340.45, 74,
$530.93, 75, $1122.25., 76, $1786.09, 77,
$3945.56, 78, $8926.02, 79, $11,624.65,
'80, $25,210.43, '81, $54,308.03, '82,
$161.72, total. $108,278.45. Collected
city taxes for the year '82, $5,380.24.
Grand total, $113,658.69. The total
tax levied for state, county and school
purposes for the year 1881 was $88,
401.47, the amount collected as shown
above was $108,278.45, making $19,
876.98 more collected than the levy of
1881. The total tax levied for city
purposes for the year 1881 was
$5,147.72, the amount collected as
shown above was $5,380.24, makiug
$232.52 more collected than the levy
of 1881. The public sale of all real
estate for which the 1881 taxes were
not paid commenced the first Monday
of November, and continued till the
first Monday of December, with
plenty of buyers, after which date all
real estate not sold will be offered at
private sale.
We believe that the treasurer's re
port shows better collections than ever
before in the history of the county.

The corner stone of the Catholic

Sunday, tbe 9th. A large crowd was
present witnessing the ceremony.
Last Saturday night the Postville
school house was filled to its utmost
capacity with an eager crowd, which
bad gathered to witness the contest
between the Postville and the Gran
ville debaters. At seven o'clock the
house was called to order by the
president, the minutes of the previous
meeting were read, and the evening
exercises were introduced by a song.
The president then announced the
debate and read the subject, namely :
"Resolved, That the right of suffrage
should be extended to the ladies."
The Granville debaters (who were on
the affirmative), we.re P. J. Coleman,
P. J. Bentz and T. O'Neil ; the Post
ville debaters were Mr. Caldwell,
John Walker, Esq., aud Mr. Arnold.
Two of the judges chosen were of
Postville, and the other one from
Granville. Judges decided, and house
approved of the decision, in favor of
Granville "Juveniles" (a pet name by
which our worthy opponents loved to
call us). The whole affair was con
ducted in the best of spirits, and we
heartily thank the Postville society
for the gentlemanly way in which
they received us. We cannot help
thinking that our literaries might be
greatly improved if there were more
debates between different societies, as
it affords an excellent opportunity for
debaters to porceive and mend their
deficiencies.

Mb. Editob : In a sample copy of
an agricultural paper sent to me 1
find a representation, and tbe follow
ing short description of a certain
grass, viz :
"lieana Luxurians (Teosinte). A
remarkable grass which attains to the
height of ten or twelve feet. The
amount of fodder it will produce is
almost incredible. It somewhat re
sembles Indian corn, but tbe leaves
are longer, broader and sweeter."
Does any one of your numerous
readers and able correspondents know
anything about this Teosinte? Will
it stand our climate? How is it to be
raised? Can it be cured for winter
use? Will some reliable seedman
having the seed advertise it in the
