The Elkhorn Valley News, con ducted by those enterprising young men Norton & Sprecher, has been again enlarged. They say: "We have never been in the habit of blowing our own bugle or of making promises in advance, but have contented our selves with making improvements and enlargements from time to time as onr patronage justified us in doing so." "We are reliably informed that the grading on onr new railroad is com pleted five miles this way from Ful lerton, and that the road is to be com pleted, so that the cars will run on it, up to Belgrade, seven miles from here this month, so as to bring the bridge material on the trains to that point. Accordingly we will be able to go and come by train in the early spring. Cedar Rapids JEra. J. D. Brewer fonnd a bed bag, alive and well, in the crown of the safety valve of the engine at Jaeggi & Schupbach's elevator. It must have been there quite a while and the engine in active operation. Brewer has a kind of notion that insect is somewhat heat-proof, and he is care ful to tell -us that he has two reliable witnesses-beside himself to prove the truth of these remarks. The blow from the northwest that commenced Monday evening caused our local weather prophets to look wise, shake their heads ominous ly and predict a "spell of weather" that would make old settlers reminis cences of the old-fashioned blizzard seem tame. But at this writing ev erything is lovely no colder than it should be at this season and no signs of snow or Btorm of any kind. A well trained mind in a sound body is the greatest gift a parent can bless his child with. Remember this, fathers and mothers. Spend the dol lars and time profitably now on your children, rather than hoard it for them to spend worse than uselessly by and by, fifty dollars and five years time if profitably spent on the youth, is bet ter than one thousand dollars to them when they settle. Cedar Rapids Era. Mrs. Dr. Longshore started Fri day last, Dec. 14th, for Australia. She expects to make her future home at National City, California, where she will be engaged with Mrs. Dr. Potts, in the conduct of a large sanitarium. Mrs. Longshore's many friends and acquaintances here would like to hear from her, and the Journal suggests that there is no better medium of communication than its columns, for anything of general interest that may 6eem to be suitable for our readers. "While at Osceola this week we had the pleasure of being present at the trial of a case in the district court in which a female lawyer, Mrs. Ada M. Bittenbender, conducted the side of the plaintiff. She managed the case with good judgment and fair skill ; was self-possessed, yet modest withal, and by her lady-like bearing commanded the respect of court, Jury and audience. Although unassisted in the trial, and opposed by two great big double-breasted, masculine six footers, Sister Bittenbender won the case all the same. Democrat. From Mr. Obe Terwilliger, we learn particulars of the accident to Z. McAlpine. He was coming to Co lumbus on business, Saturday last, driving a pair of young horses ; about noon, when near the Catholic ceme tery northwest of town, his team be came frightened and unmanageable, throwing Mr. McAlpine ont of the wagon, bruising his shoulder and head, and fractaring the pelvic bone. He is now lying at Mr. Forbes'?, near by where he was hurt, and is receiv ing every attention possible from these kind friends,. though heretofore strangers. Jonas Hedman of Keatskotoos met with quite a serious accident last week; he was coming from Genoa with a hay rack in which he had a large cattle trough, and in going down a hill this slipped forward and frightened his horses causing them to run, the trough, meanwhile, in which Jonas was standing, slipped between the horses, causing one of them to break the ring in the neck-yoke and the tongue to drop on the ground, which threw Jonas out and the trough catching him broke one of his legs at the ankle'; after going a few rods the horses. stopped and Jonas made out .to crawl to them, mounted one and rode home. THE CLIFFORDS ARE COMING. The Entertainment at the Academy Thanksgiving Night Constance Stanley in Ingomar A Holiday At traction. The observances of Thanksgiving are not complete without a play at the Academy in the evening. This year the city is fortunate in having a first-class company and a first-class play in sight for that holiday night. Edwin Clifford never comes too often. No manager actor holds so warm a place in the hearts of theater-goers in this city as the head of the company that appears Thanksgiving night. The star which he has secured for his company, Miss Constance Stanley, will appear as Parthenia Thanksgiving night. The play is selected with an especial view of showing the best and strongest pcints of this popular ac tress. Miss Stanley's elegant and expensive stage wardrobe will, with admirers of rich dress, be an interest ing feature of the entertainment. Altogether the event of Thanksgiving night will be one of the most attrac tive of the season. Sioux City Jour nal. Our astronomical readers will find the path of the comet traced in the following piragraph, which we clip from the Lincoln Journal: "To night, if any one is disposed to look with a good pair of opera glasses at the region just within the region of the milky way, and on a straight line between Alpha Lyra3 and Alpha Cygni, half way from either, an early view of the comet will be obtained. The comet will cross the milky way, and on the 20th of December will be found emerging from the shining re gion and entering tho constellation Cygni, and will on the 22d pass close to the third magnitude star Epsilon. Hence across the region devoted to that constellation until until Decem ber 30 it enters Pegasus. Of course, long before that time it will be bright enough to attract attention of any one in the habit of observing the sky, and many will be interested in verifying for themselves the predictions now made of its future course." The teachers' meeting Friday evening is reported as more than usually interesting by one who was present. The formation of character being the chief effect of schools, the subject of discipline is always more or less interesting to a compauy of teachers. A large father once asked a very small son who had given him some offence, if he knew what he was about to be whipped for. The youth ful American replied: "I suppose it is because you are bigger than me." Boys and girls are little men and women, influenced by much tho same impulses and influences, and, if teach ers were more self-possessed, there would be less occasion to discuss the problems of corporal punishment; the thoughts of teachers would turn to the beet methods of self discipline among pupils. The -character of the teacher is more than all mere words or blows; the mutual affection of instructor and learner is the tie which binds iu school matters; aud, while it seems that the doctrine of turning the other cheek after one has been smitten is not just applicable to our times, it must be confessed by the Journal that its observation has been that unruly children have been more effectually and more thoroughly subdued by kindness than by harsher methods. The trouble, however, is that there are n6t angels enough to occupy the positions of teachers. Humphrey. Farmers are about through gather ing corn. Many of our little folks are expect ing Santa Claus next week. "Wo have the report that Mr. Mc Alpine living west from here was badly injured on his way to Colum bus Saturday.

K. got left to spend his Sunday in Columbus. Mr. N. Till has gone on a two weeks' sojourn cast in Cayuga Co., la.

Boone County From the Cedar Rapids Era. Land is booming. Robert T. Rob inson has a standing offer of $1,000 for ten acres of his land, half a mile south of town, aud now our P. M. is offered 150 per acre for several acres across the river, half a mile north of town. Messrs. Thompson & Taylor have started a large ranch five miles north east, toward Albion.

The children of Andrew Duval, on the 10th, burnt up his stable ; the loss to him is two fine coalts one year old past, cow bad ly scortched, hogs injured some, farm ing tools, &c, burned or injured, making a loss to the crippled old sol dier of some $225. As the hail has taken nearly everything in the crop Hue here for two years, it finds the old veteran but illy prepared to shoulder the loss of the present accident. Corn husking progresses slowly, and even the best fields are disap pointing to the owners. Dec. 12, '83. "Why Not. The North Loup Herald gives a remedy for dyspepsia that might bo tried with profit by many a fellow who now is not strong enough to make a fashionable dude on a street corner: It' you are troubled with dyspepsia, or, iu fact, any of the ills that flesh is heir to, do not go aud buy a liver pad or box of Mr. Somebody's pills, but procure an acre or two of corn to husk, and husk, and husk, and husk.
