A terrible accident happened last
week at Madison. The seven-year-old

Crew, Sr., and while there in compa
uy with a little boy of Crew's took up
a Winchester repeating rifle, and
while handling it was discharged,
lodging the contents in the head of
the Crew boy, blowing scalp, brains
and skull in all directions.
John Schram, under date of Dec.
25tb, '82, writes us as follows:
"I have missed but two or three
copies of the Journal since away
from Columbus, it seems like a letter
from home each week, and is more
welcome than the largest weekly in
the country.
It does not look mnch like Christ
mas with us on Puget Sound. The
gras is fresh and green all along the
wa side, and in some instances flow
ers can be seen blooming out doors.
This is ray third winter on the Pacific
coast.. During this period I have not
seen mercury anywhere near zero.
When 1 see dispatches from Nebraska
saying "thermometer from 20 to 30
below zero" I scarce remember what
it means."

A Good Deed.
The Msennerchor are making ar
rangements to hold a concert within
a few days for the benefit of children
who are destitute of clothing and
shoes, and cannot attend school. It
is expected that the concert will be
held at the Opera House, and that
help will be rendered by other musi
cians of the city, bat these arrange
ments have not yet been completed.
Certain!) there could be no more
worthy object ; the benefit shonld be
withont stint, and the application of
it prompt and hearty.
If there is anything good in our
American institutions, it is our free
school system, but to be effective it
must be supplemented occasionally
by just such labors of love as is now
undertaken by the Msennerchor.
We find the following among
recent decisions of the Supreme court.
Both cases were taken np from Platte
county :
Davis vs. Henry. New trial grant
ed. OpinioD by Maxwell, J.
1. A contract upon the same paper
with a negotiable promissory note,
which contract modifies and qualifies
it cannot be detached froBi-the note.
In such a case the note, if detached
and transferred to an innocent pur
chaser, before maturity, will not en
title the holder to recover thereon.
(Cobb J. dissents.)
2. Where by the terms of a prom
issory note, it was not to draw inter
est, aud the payee, without the consent
of the maker, adds the figure "7" to
the note to indicate the rate of inter
est. Held, to be a material alteration
and to avoid the note.
Dietrich vs. L. & N. W. R. R. Co.
Motion to quash bill of exceptions
overruled. Opinion by Maxwell, J.
A motion to quash the bill of ex
ceptions will not be entertained after
a case which has been reached in the
regular order of businet is submitted.
Several weeks ago one of oar cor
respondents made inquiry concerning
Teosinte (jeana luxurious). Another
sends us the following clipping :
"This gigantic member of the grass
family is perennial in hot climates. It
somewhat resembles Indian corn in
aspect and habit of growth, but the
leaves are mnch longer aud broader
and the stock is filled with sweeter
Bap, and is likely to prove of value for
the production of sugar. In its per
fection it produces a great number of
shoots, growing three or fonr yards
high, thickly covered with leaves,
yielding such an abundance of forage
that one plant is estimated to be suffi:
cient to feed a pair of cattle for twenty-four
hoars. In the extreme Sonth,
Teosinte would-be a perennial. In
the North a single seed will make
from 12 to 16 stalks, when planted iu
the open ground, and from 25 to 30 if
first started in a hot-bed, attaining to
the height of five and six feet with a
eaf.t mass of long broad leaves.
Mr. S. A. Cook, of Georgia, who
grew Teosinte last season, writes me
as follows : 'It surpasses either corn
or sorghum as a soiling or fodder
plant. I counted 85 stalks from one
seed. They grew eleven feet in
height, and but for excessive dry
weather would have been much taller.
Cows are extravagantly fond ot
them.'"
Tke Schools.
Quite a number of accessions from
abroad have been, made to the High
school. There are classes organized
for the coming term in arithmetic,
(mental and practical), algebra, geom
etry, rhetoric, English grammar, U. S.
history, natural philosophy, chemis
try, single and double entry book
keeping, reading and spelling. There
will be also reviews of geography
and other branches.
A literary society is organized for
drill in elocution, debate and parlia
mentary law.
As is well known, the public
schools have been preserving, for
some time, specimens of the written
work done by the pupils at recitation.
Neat priuted forms have been provi
ded. It is proposed by the teachers
to give, in a few weeks, an exposition
of this work to the public at the Opera
House. The work makes a fine dis
play, andls a complete record of each
pupil's work and progress. Other
exercises will accompany the written
display.

the temptations of the glittering
" bowl."

successful farmers in the connty, has
sold forty hogs that averaged 340 lbs.
each, this winter. He expects to sell
between 50 and 60 more before spring.
He says that be feeds very nearly 100
bushels of corn per week.

Editor Journal : Again we are
obliged to trouble you with a few
items from this beautiful valley. We
not live immediately in the valley
but "shus clos py."
Onr literary society is still alive,
though somewhat chilled by the cold
weather. Since our last report, have
had an addition of two more mem
bers, viz., Miss Ada Westcott and Mr.
Will Ernst. Come on ; there's room
for more.
II. T. Garlow, brother of C. J., is
visiting him at Mr. Getts'.
Miss Daisie Swartzel was the guest
of Miss Laura Butler on New Year's
day, and paid oar school a visit also.
She is quite a promising young lady.
Mr. Wollsleger, oue of our neigh
bors, has moved to Leigh, Colfax Co.,
and Mr. Frederick will soon occupy
the house he vacated.
New Year's day passed off very
quietly at our place, bat quite au en
joyable time was bad at the residence
of Getts and Burns. Morgan and
Garlow bad made preparations for an
oyster supper to which twenty-five
guests were invited and all present
with one exception. Mrs. Getts had
also done ber part in way of prepar
ing some excellent cake and pickles,
for the occasion. It will be under
stood that Mrs. Getts is the wife of
C. H. Getts, formerly in bachelorship
wun i;. o. uanow, me noted egg I
cooker of last winter. Well, to de
scribe the party ; Messrs. Burns and
Morgan went to Columbus aad bro't
out the following named persons:
Misses Annie George, Mary Tarner,
Matie Wadsworth, Rosa Rickly, Sara
Fitzpatrick, Nelia Matthews and Mr.
Swartzel, jr. It was a merry crowd,
and indeed they got so merry that the
team which was drawing them con
cluded to have a little fan, too, and
therefore started at a speed that would
not disgrace Maud S., and alas ! the
merriment suddenly ceased and some
began to scream (as women always do
whea frightened) others cry, aad
some began to think of praying bat
they wre jolted too badly to think
of anything to Eay; some said "let
CMnnUImei
allow!

them go," and they did go ; one or
two tried to jump out bat the boys
caught them and in so doing Barns
lost his hat, and one of the ladies
threw her muff oat of the wagon
thinking she could jump ont on it and
thus save the shock she would other
wise receive. They succeeded in
stopping the team and finding the lost
hat and muff. They at last reached
their destination where a pleasant
room and fire awaited them. Soon
after their arrival, another wagon load
arrived whose names are too numer
ous to mention. After all were suffi
ciently warmed, they were invited to
the dining-room where their appetites
were satisfied. The oysters were
partly prepared by the two former
bachelors, (Garlow and Getts) and it
was laughable to bear the different
modes of preparing -them discussed.
One wanted to put a little sweet oil
in the stew for fear they were not fat
enough and would remaia in the mas
ticating machine too long to be palat
able; the other wanted to put a little
sand in for fear they were too fat and
could uot be kept in the mouth loug
enough to be masticated sufficiently
for digestion. We think the latter
plan was adopted as we got some
thing in our mouth that was not very
agreeable to the teeth. After supper
was finished the party was entertain
ed by some very nice instrumental
music pumped oat by the Misses
Wadsworth, Tarner, Butler and
Matthews. Mr. Burns also played an
active part in this exercise. The par
ty then prepared to take their leave.
Morgan and Burns were of course
obliged to take the ladies home that
they bad brought from the city. This
they did, but not being satisfied with
taking the ladies home they fell in
love with grandfather Turner's dog
and coaxed him home with them, but
after they got home and thought the
matter over they became frightened,
tearing he would suspicion them as
the purloiners and have them arrest
ed. Garlow, who is slightly acquaint
ed aud who was with the party,
thought there was a good showing for
libel, providing it should be found
ont on them ; so early next morning
they started to town with the dog,
but were surprised on the way by
discovering the dog was tailless.
When they reached their destination
they told the owner the dog had fol
lowed them home, and apologized for
the loss of the tail ; but what chagrin
when told the dog had been without
a tail for several years. The boys
went home and went to bole, pulling
the hole in alter them. So ended the
party. Zebby.
