The Sun says that two Schuyler horse traders agreed to make a trade ; one had asked $10 to boot, the other had demanded $5 to boot, and on an agreement to split the difference, neither of them could solve the problem. Last Thursday afternoon the clouda seemed to cover the whole horizon, looking at them from this city the rain poured down, and one or two splendid specimens of thunder and lightning tended to make it in teresting. John L. Means, the contractor, came down from Boone county last Thursday, as happy as a clam at high tide. His bridge work had been ac cepted with high compliments to his work, and he had a good portion of his pay in his pockets. The David City Jiepublican re publican reports that sand stone has been found on the farm of William Bolshy-, half way between David City and Bell wood.

Nearlj every farmer 6ays his corn is soft, and predicts a high price for seed corn next spring, one man plac ing the figures at $5 a bushel.

There was a veritable spiritualist in town the other day. In a conver sation with him he declared as firm a belief in his hereafter, that his spirit should live and recognize and be rec ognized by his friends in- the spirit, as that he was here in Columbus, and he said it was a very comforting faith. Cultivate in your children a taste for good reading at home. Better spend fifty cents or a dollar now and then for a book, and have your boys at home these winter evenings toast ing their feet and ornamenting their heads, than to have' them playing shinney in a back alley.

Ott, next to post office, is selling the stock of toys, musical instruments, &c, at bottom figures, marked plain. A child can buy as cheap as a man. Go there for your Christmas goods. 33-2 Everybody is remarking the fine weather we are having this fall. As we are always a little chary about weather items, we will say that this (Dec. 5) could hardly be excelled any where, comfortable, all that could be wished carpenters at work out doors in their shirt sleeves, plasterers at work without fire, etc. The wide-awake town of Arling ton, Washington county, i3 now sup plied with a wide-awake newspaper, engineered by J. D. Dellingcr. The number before us gives evidence of good ability on the part of its editor and the citizens of Arlington will find it to their pecuniary advantage to deal liberally with the Enterprise. We learn that John Meyer and George Smith -have purchased of D. A. Willard, Genoa, the material of the old Gazette office, and that they in tend opening a job printing office in the basement of the Mitchell building in a week or ten days. The yonng men are worthy a liberal share of the pnblic patronage, and we wish them abundant success. A. M. Parsons, who has for a long time been the faithful lieutenant of the Oehlrich Bros., has purchased a grocery store at Schuyler, to which place be expects to remove Jau. 1st. Schuyler people may congratulate themselves iu the accession of a very gentlemanly, upright business man, and in Mrs. Parsons an amiable, accomplished lady. The well-known Tiffany & Rout son establishment near tbo Central House has been purchased by Thos. A. Stewart, and is conducted as a livery and feed stable. His rigs are all new and good, and his horses number one. Mr. Stewart will make a specialty of accommodating com mercial travelers, and to them and all others will charge very reasonable prices. Give him a call. Hamlin, a cattle inspector at Val entine, Neb., was shot dead by a posse of four, at that place the other da'. Eighteen bullet holes were found in the body. The trouble grew out of family affairs between the prin cipal and J. Smith, a brother-in-law. A peculiar part of this transaction is that the four men went to Hamlin's place, found him on horseback, ran him out on the prairie, kept firing at him until he was killed, and the coro ner's Jury "found" that the killing was done in "self-defense." Business men along the line of Platte river have been noticing the Kearney enterprise with increasing interest. A correspondent of the Omaha Jiepublican, in a recent issue, says : "Mr. Price, the contractor for the Kearney ditch, says water is run ning satisfactorily for twelve miles and the whole will be finished early in the spring. It is thirty-one feet wide at the Platte, where it commen ces, and twenty-one at Kearney, and can carry six feet at high water, and at low water four feet. The head at Kearney will be seventy feet, which will furnish great power." Wishing to do all I can to enhance the happiness of my friends and cus tomers and to cause them to enter upon the new year with cheerful hearts, empty pocket-books and neat ly furnished houses, I will offer the following inducement till January 1st. Every person buying goods of me for cash will receive a nice New Year's present equal iu value to one tenth the whole bill purchased, besides an additional discount of 3 per cent from regular prices. Now is the time to buy your furniture. No reduction after the holidays. Call soon, select your goods, receive your present, and live on happily. J. E. Munger. 1 Humphrey. We understand there in a movement being made to build a commodious building for school purposes here. There is a lively interest being worked up towards a Christmas tree for the pleasure as well as benefit of our little Sunday school, the time des ignated for the grand distribution of presents, literary, &c, is Christmas eve, at the new parsonage bnilding. Supt. Moncrief was in town Satur day holding examination of our sev eral school teachers of this vicinity. We will say of the newly elected Supt. that his hard run for the elec tion did not decrease his flesh as be bad bis usual healthy appearance. All things are quiet in town these beautiful days. Farmers are busy with their corn, and some people talk of plowing yet this winter. The corn crop here is not so good as people supposed, much of it is soft, yet farm ers are not disheartened; they are feeding their crops and realizing a handsome profit in this way. Busi ness men feel the effects of the car tailed corn crop, even more than the farmers, as they have expected to reap a harvest of trade this fall, but will be cut short in consequence there of of many hundred dollars of trade 1 even in this small town. C." ei Supt. Peasleo of Cincinnati writes : "If there were not a German or a Frenchman in the city, I would advo cate, on educational grounds, the teaching of one or the other of these languages, in connection with the English. Why? Because, after Eng lish, the German and French are the languages of the literature and science of the world." The study of another language iu connection with our mother tongue is conducive to the highest development of the mind. Bat it may be asked: "Can two languages be taught to children with out detriment to either, but rather advantage to both?" Decidedly so. The experience made in Chicago, Cincinnati, St. Louis and other places proves this beyond question. Pupils who study German in the pnblic schools of these cities learn just as much in the English branches; and in some composition for instance, even more than those who study English only. The kind of language training obtained by translating from one tongue into another is of the highest order. The opposition to the addition of oue more to tho list of studies is not well founded. The number of subjects relieves the miud of the child. Tension in one direc tion only is not conducive to mind development; it must not be long maintained. Says one educator: "If the courses of study in our graded schools were reduced to the three R's, the instruction would be terribly burdensome to the children, and they would learn less of these branches than now." Again, it is said : "This is not Ger many or France ; we live in America ; our language is English, and it alone should be taught in the public schools ; the teaching of a foreign lauguage would tend to make our citizens less patriotic." Well, well, were Gen. Scburz, Gen. Siegel and thousands of other Germans who fought for the Union and the cause of human lib erty less patriotic, less true American citizens, because they were educated in the German tongue; because the groundwork of their characters was laid in lands where duty is the watch word, instead of money? Are our German-speaking citizens less patri otic than those who hail from Old England? Are the Switzers and the Germans, in their native land, any leas devoted to their institutions and their country, because French and English are taught in their schools? No one will attempt to answer these ques tions in the affirmative, and it is quite silly, indeed, to affirm that a knowl edge of or the teaching of German or any other foreign language, would be adverse to patriotism. Teacher. Geaoa. From the Enterprise.J Mrs. E. G. Piatt of Carlisle, Pa., but formerly of Kcatskatooos, near this place, has arrived in Geuoi. She is to be the matron of the Indian School. The authorities could have made no better choice, as her experience with the Indians makes her well qualified for the position. A disease is reported among the school children of this place, and quite a number of the parents have taken their children out of school, fearing that they might take it. Al though this disease may be of a very mild nature, and not prove to be con tageous, it is the duty of parents to take their children out of school as soon as they had them afflicted with it. If the disease proves to be a seri ous one, they should not expose oth ers to it ; if not they can soon resume their studies without having lost much in consequence of their short absei.ee. Parents will do well to take notice of this. Weather Report.
