The Ecv. Mr. Crockett of Bed Cloud is expected to officiate and preach in the Episcopal church on Sunday next. We would like to have some ex perienced farmer, who is well posted, write a series of articles, for the good of the country, on the best methods of raising tame grass. The low price of farm products is telling upon the business of the conntry. With hogs at $3.25 the farmer, naturally, will make fewer purchases than at $6.50. Charlie Sloane, Chinaman, who formerly lived in this city came up from Lincoln ou Thursday. He is now residing in that place and is well pleased with his new home. Citizens from Fremont, Schuyler, David City, Fullerton, Genoa, St. Edward, Cedar Rapids, Platte Center, are getting aoits aiade .by W. Y. Mc Kean, merchant tailor Columbus. Mr. Coffroth, late of the Democrat who removed to McCook, has sold his paper there, at a profit, and, we learn, expects to go into, the banking bnsi ntM at Salem, Richardson county"., Mr. Anderson, the great 'stock man of Colorado, and brother to the bauker of this city, was in the city Thursday, returning; from t, Chicago where he had been with a shipment of fat cattle. Tl ' "J ' Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Camp, of North Bend, were in the city Friday and Saturday last. Joe. was a former Columbus boy, and expresses himself well pleased with his new location at North Bend. J. B. Camp, Esq., formerly a citi zen of Columbus, aged 59 years, died at Scotia, Greeley Co., Neb., of asthma, Tuesday, Oct. 30th, 'S3. He had been nominated by both parties, for county judge. Teachers wishing to attend the meetings of the County Association, can make the round trip on the rail road at l fare one way, If there be as many as ten at one station to take advantage of the reduced rate. As we close our forms at noon on Tuesdays, we can give no election news, except to say that the election is proceeding rather quietly at this point. As we all grow older we shall know more about the election as well as many other matters. The goodness of a school is in exact relation to the goodness of the teacher. Neither appliances nor fur niture will supply the place. There fore money spent to secure an active, original teacher, who will learn and grow in the profession is the surest of a return. The Student. The school board held its regular meeting last Monday evening. M. K. Turner was elected a member in place of John Browner, resigned. Several bills were allowed. The Sup't. met with the Board, and presented a course of study which he had prepar ed. Not having space we defer giv ing the proceedings entire, until next week. We hear of a fight on 11th 3treet, Saturday night about twelve o'clock, in which about twelve men were en gaged promiscuously. The town that sleeps peacefully doesn't know the half of what is going ou at nights, and, if the peaceable citizens of the place don't take a little more interest in matters they will deserve to see trouble. It takes a so-called religious pa per to show cheek and enterprise. The N. Y. Independent asks of us about twelve dollars of advertising for an exchange with it one year. We are not quite so hard pushed for read ing matter of a doubtful religious kind as to think of accepting. We advise readers to find some other "religious" paper, that manages to live upon the rule, Do as you would be done by. L. M. Saley the other day while repairing his cellar struck a root from a box elder tree standing iu his yard 17 feet away from the building ; the root inside measured 10 feet more, making a total in length of 27 feet, and at this point, where the root en ters the ground it is one inch In diameter and how many feet further it runs is not known. It shows the reason why the box elder trees al ways did well in Nebraska, and after getting a little start, explains why the dry weather seems to have little effect on its growth. On the evening of the 29th nit. Miss Anna Becher was tendered a surprise party by her young friends, at which a large number participated, the occasion being her birthday anni versary. The surprise was complete, which was, of course, gratifying to the projectors, and the reception was none the less hearty. The evening was delightfully spent in social amusemeniB until midnight, when re freshments were served, and all dis persed to their homes voting the event a very happy one. Miss Anna was the recipient of a number of handsome presents. We logically conclude, from the outgivings of the new editor of the new Norfolk Journal that he has not yet familiarized himself with Madison county politics. There are many branches of that delectable subject to which we might call his special atten tion, if we were so minded, but this Journal has been in the habit of non-interference in foreign affairs except when the very general good seemed absolutely to require it. Iu the meantime, if there are any espe cially abstruse points about Madison county affairs that we cannot decipher at this distance, we shall certainly call upon onr very good friend for more light, which, as a matter of course, republican editors are always able, willing and anxious to give. - " If every head of a family would religiously adhere to three rules for adult members of the household, there would be a great deal less sin and misery in the world : Early to bed ; early to rise; remunerative employ ment. In these days of dissipation and physical wreck, the gospel of work, and progress through work, needs to be strongly preached. The healthy young man or woman, boy or girl, who will not do work enough to at least pay for the clothes they wear and the food they eat, are not possessed of the right spirit, and, un changed, will come to a bad end, for the essence of crime is to wish to pos sess something of another, for which you have paid no equivalent, given nothing in exchange. The mother who does the rough drudgery of the household, wearing her life away in toil, in order that her daughters may have a "pleasant" life, is certainly making a very grave mistake. Work is not injurious, but idleness is. We do not believe in slavish burdens for any, but we do most emphatically say that children are "men and women of a smaller growth," and subject to precisely the same laws that affect full-grown people; they need useful employment to make their play rel isbable, and if parents will pay them for the work they do, and allow them the free use of the money they earn, they will be surprised to know the good UEes tho little folks' will soon make of their wages. A dollar earn ed by a child, for honest work done, a dollar which it can call its own, to do with according to its pleasure, repre sents a branch of education that is very much neglected. We know of several little heroines of twelve, thir teen and. fourteen years who have charge of the family affairs, and who manage admirably. Will any one tell us why these and such as these should not be amply paid for the work they do ? If the pay for actual labor performed were more equitably divided among the sons and daugh ters of earth there would be less lazy luxury and more majestic manhood. For the Journal. Tkoaghts m Ike Kindergarten. Some one once said to the late ac complished Mrs. Carl Scburz: "That little child of yours is a miracle, so childlike and unconscious, aud yet so wise and able, attracting and ruling the childreu, who seem nothing short of enchanted." "No miracle, but only brought up in a kindergarten," ans wered Mrs. Schurz. "A kindergar ten ! what is that?" "A garden whose plants are human. Did you ever hear of Froebel ?" "No ; who is he?" "A greater reformer in edu cation than Pestalozzi." When Froebel had come into the full possession of hi3 central thought he worried bis mind for a tit name to give to the institution he was about to found. One day, walking among the hills, he shouted: " Heureka! Kinger-Garten (child's garden) that is the name for uiy place." Froebel, thoughtful, introspective aud slow-meditating, was driven back upon the truth that is in the early and earliest periods of education that the battle is lost or won; and that the greatest need of a nation is a race of strong and intelligent mothers. "What is a child ? What do we ex pect him to be aud to do? What is the best way of teaching him for that?" Froebel turned to nature for guidance. He remembered the max im of Lord Bacon, that we can only learn from nature herself how to subdue her; that we must stoop to conquer. The child lives the life of the senses. We must train his senses. He is loud of action. As an illustra tion of the manner in which Froebel would regulate and guide a child's love of action and play, the following amusing example may serve: "A baby is fond of mischief, and likes to kick out. Very well, let the mother teach him how to kick in a rhythmic manner. Gently and regularly, back wards and forwards ; singing a nur sery song in time with the move ments. The child likes it, for he feels able to do something he feels his power, and this makes him feel good." It may be remarked that this is not much to kick rhythmically. It is something, however it is a begin ning. Remember, it connects even a baby's kicking with the external or der of the world the great cosmic harmony and unity of which Froebel has bo much to say. But, fellow-teachers, leaving this subject for some future time, although we are not kindergartners as such, we may work in our respective fields with the same spirit placing our schools ou the same broad basis: "In life, for life and through life." Let us become masters of our work ; let us cease to be in any respect the hire lings of other interests; let us live wholly for the interests of our chil dren and humanity. True, teaching is a failure from a financial point of view ; but that is a low view of life and its duties which would reject an occupation on the ground of its mea ger returns in dollars and cents. Switzerland, the birthplace and home of a Pestalozzi, Rousseau, Ag assiz and Guyot, is the only country that has, so far, in some of her can tons, ventured to emancipate her teachers, allowing them to work with the child iu accordance with its own inner needs, and not in obedience to arbitrary rules drawn up by others. The status of a teacher should be determined on professional grounds and by professional men, not by a vacillating public, too often scores of years behind the educational doctrines and practices of advanced minds. Teacher. Bailder. Those who think of building or are in need of any hardware, stoves or tinware will find it to their advantage to call and examine goods and prices at C. D. Barlow's hardware and stove house. 3-27tf Hampkrey. Election is over. Hurrah ! The three Miss Ottis, who are at tending school at Columbus, were here to attend the funeral of Mr. Dunn on Saturday last. Your correspondent was the recip ient of a large head of cabbage and two large beets, grown and presented by Mr. Huebner of Humphrey pre cinct, weight of cabbage twenty lbs., weight of beets eleven and one-half lbs. How is that for Nebraska ? Once more the 6tern hand of death has been spread over our little town and has taken from among us one of our highly respected citizens. Mr. Dunn last Thursday morning arose as one of us ; later in the day some men passing along the road discovered him lying on the ground, and the alarm was given and he was found dead. Paralysis of the heart was the supposed cause of death. Mr. Dunn was an aged man and subject to such spells, and he has often said he was sure he would die in this manner. His many acquaintances will miss his friendly face and his salutation. We can say of him he had no enemies. The deceased leaves au aged widow, (kindly provided for) to mourn his loss. He was followed to the grave on Saturday, being the first to enter in the new Catholic. cemetery here, of which church he was a faithful fol lower. C. BETTEK TUAK EVER- The Chicago later Oceaa for 1881. More new features have been intro duced in the Weekly Inter Ocean in the last twelve months than in any other paper published in this country. Retaining all the old specialties aud departments, the publishers have ad ded illustrated biographical sketches of persons prominently betorc the public at date of publication; illus trated articles on important historical and current events, or in elucidation of antiquarian research, or interesting engineering and mechanical problems ; cable letters from London covering the field of European news for each week; special contributions devoted to reminiscences of army and polit ical life; and new series of articles given up largely to personal gossip and recollections of prominent lit erary people. The Inter Ocean will remain un compromisingly Republican; will maintain its present attitude on the questiou of protecting American in dustries; will continue to devote spe cial attention to trade, transportation, and economic questions, will retain the departments of The Curiosity Shop (a current encyclopedia of cu rious, interesting, and valuable infor mation called out by inquiries of subscribers) ; The Woman's Kingdom (devoted to the progressive move ments iu which women are interest ed) ; The Farm and Home (covering topics of special interest to farmers, their wives, and their children) ; The Veterinary (containing answers to questions as to the treatment of horses, cattle, and other animals by one of the best veteriuary surgeons in the West) ; and Complications (taking in puzzles, enigmas, conundrums.etc), all of which are peculiar to the paper; will give as much space as hitherto to serial and short stories, original and selected sketches and poems, aud with increased :acilities for news gathering in the shape of special icires to New York and Washington, and experienced correspondents well placed at home and abroad, will more than maintain its high standard for enterprise and accuracy iu all depart ments of news. While so many improvements have been made in the Weekly Inter Ocean, the price has been reduced to One Dollar Per Year, postage included. This puts a large eight-page (there are frequently twelve pages) paper in the bands of the reader at the low rate of two cents per week. The re duction in. price aud the recent im provements make the Inter Ocean not only the best family newspaper in the country, but the cheapest. The sub scription price of tho Inter Ocean is as follows : Weekly Edition per year, post age paid $ 1.00 Semi-Weekly Edition per year, postage paid 2.50 Daily (includiug Sunday) per yesr ........ ....... .... XiSuu Daily (excluding Sunday) per year ". 10.00 Wednesday's Edition (with Mu sical Supplement) per year . . 2.00 Saturday' Edition (sixteen pa ges) per year 2.00 Sunday's Edition (sixteen pa ges) per year 2.00 Postage prepaid in each case. Sample copies of the Inter Ocean will be sent on application. Send money in Registered Letter, Money Order, Bank Draft, or by Ex press, at our risk, and be sure to write the name and address of each subscriber plainly. Address THE INTER OCEAN, 28-4 Chicago, 111. Bee for Ifoyw. A farmer friend bus sixty colonies of bees, a fine flock of light Brahma fowls, and a farm of one hundred and twenty acres. He has two sons, aged thirteen and sixteen years, respect ively, and the elder boy has entire charge of the bees, of which be is very fond. He runs his sections, extracts the honey, introduces queens, divides his bees, and rears queens with a skill which many a veteran might envy. He is already well known in the city, three and a half miles distant, for his honey, and talks about bees, nnd quotes authorities in the most intelli gent manner. All bis honey is sold in one grocery-store, and though he has had a good yield this season, and has reaped a fine profit, he cannot fully supply the demand at the store.

The crop was much better thau expected after the hot week the first of June, but much of it shrunk. The yield has been pretty good, and price about $1.50 here, 90 miles from Port CoBta, the main ship ping point now for wheat. Business of all kinds pretty good throughout the state. All the railroad towns nearly, growing. Land is called high in this county now ; it has advanced every year, and the farming is done much better by most people. The main business in this county is wheat raising. Fresno county is being cut up in small tracts and colonies estab lished aud fruit is becoming a large business, the chance for irrigation being better from King's river, the main stream of the San Joaquin. Tulare county has now about eighty artesian wells and they are driving them down fast in the belt west of the railroad towards the lake. Tulare couuty has a good deal of oak timber and the land is excellent, and surface water can be got at ten to twenty feet. An easy country to irrigate from wind mills. With the ditches, artesian wells and wind mills, in eight or ten years I have but little doubt she will lead the counties iu this valley in fruit and fine houses. The Muscle Slough country now is a great wheat region in that county, has water from King's river through Merced couuty, as I understand it. This valley is pretty hot for two or three months, or at least we have some few very hot days. Have shipped from this station in June, July, August and September, 5,834 tons of wheat to the markets, and there is some 80,000 to 90.000 tons in store here, and this is one of the six stations in the county, and about ou the average in shipments. So you can Bee that the wheat business is an item here. C. Lee. abetter L.Lt.
