At the city election this spring, which will occur April 7th, the offi cers to be chosen are a Mayor, Clerk, Treasurer, three councilman and three members of the school board.

These figures do not indicate that the close times and hard winter have had much weight in depressing the price of one of the principal money-making resources of the farmer. Emigration has already com menced toward the new west and I northwest from those sections which have become too much crowded to satisfy the restless spirit of the pio neer. Many of the scions of the old stock of Nebraska's early settlers are also striking out to secure for them selves advantages which were instru mental in achieving affluence and comfort for their fathers.

Mr. H.y though a .young man, has had a great deal, of experience in his busi ness, and is probably as well versed in all that goes to make a sacceesfnl dealer in cattle as aay man In" the state. .

A letter dated about the same time from the White River says they had about ton inches of snow on the level there, while in this portion of Ne braska there was scarcely aay. Nebraska has not been alone in the experience of an exceptional winter, but on tho whole has fared rather better than her eastern sisters. Last week the Jouutal mention ed the fact that Rev. E. J. Robinson, the Methodist minister at this place, with his wife, who was visiting him, had been called home by the serious illness of his little daughter. The following item from their home paper coataias particulars of the sad news which awaited their comiag: Ida, the youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Rev. E. J. Robinson, died on Sunday evening under very dis tressing circumstances. Mr.! and Mrs. Robinson were at Columbus at the time, and no one at home but the younger members of the family, when she was suddenly mken dangerously ill, aod expired within a few hours. Assistance was immediately summon ed, but the little sufferer was beyond mortal aid. The parents were called home from Columbus oa the sad errand of atteadlng the funeral with out having tho least warning of the nearness of death when they started for home. Treasurer Newman, in speaking of an inquiry by one of our sub scribers concerning the proportion of delinquent taxes collectible, says that it Is impossible at presentto answer with any sort of definiteness; any attempt to answer would be the merest guess-work fa list is being made up of those who have moved out of the state, and into other coun ties, and it will take some time to 4 know what proportion of this can be4 collected. Besides this, there is a large list of U. P. lands put down on the books as delinquent for 19 and '80, which the courts have decided as erroneously taxed. The ' treasurer tells us that so soon as he can make a fair estimate of the collectible de linquency he will report the same. As to the other question, the treas urer is charged with taxes delinquent and credited with delinquents un collectible. In this issue will be found the eighteenth annual statement of the Union Central Life Insurance com pany of Cincinnati, one of the most prosperous of our life companies. Their specialty is endowment policies at ordinary life rates. Policies non forfeitable and incontestable after three annual payments, and iu case of failure in payments insured can retire with paid up insurance, the amount entitled to being named on face of policy, or policy would remain in force without surrender until whole reserve is exhausted in payment of premiums. This company is doing a fine business in this state and has a very large list ic this place, having written over 50,000 in the past two years on the lives of Columbus repre sentative men. The company is rep resented by J. M. Edmiston, State Agt, Lincoln, and M. D. Thurston, Special Ag't, Columbus, Neb. The temperance evangelists, Messrs. Teeter and Huckings, drew such audiences Sunday and Monday evenings as rarely congregate in a church in this city. The Presbyterian building was fairly packed, even to the aisles. Mr. Teeter, the lecturer, takes the bold, broad ground that the liquor of the day malt, spiritous and vinous is absolutely and entirely damaging to the human system under all circumstances, that the traffic has not a seemingly excusable cause in an economic sense which is not more than counterbalanced by the cost to the people in dollars and cents, by sapping from useful trade, and that in a moral sense every tendency is to prostitute and degrade humanity. Into the subject is adduced more of logical reasoning than was wont to be heard in the old-fashioned tem perance lecture, when the matter was handled entirely as a moral question. Mr. Huckings is a beautiful siugor, rendering the temperance hymns of the day with an electrical effect. Together the gentlemen are a strong team. They are laboring in the in terests of a state prohibitory amend ment organization, which has for its avowed object the submission of the question to the people at the ballot box. Christopher Bach writes us a letter ia which he speaks of the .old times here mentioning in particular Mr. Parker, Mr. Henricb, David Thomas, Mr. Potter, Mr. Waterman and Thos. Olin and family. He says It wonld please him to go throogh the country once more and see his old friends j and enjoy an interesting chat with them, whom he remembers;, one and all, and whom he expects to see again, if his life is spared. He has been to Jennings, Louisiana, and says the sunny south is a beautiful coun try, pleaty of fish and alligators batter is too tender hearted to live down there, good place for cotton seed oil; you can get abundance of that good stuff ia your potatoes and? cakes.' He prefers further north, and las a great-many inquiries as to -Nebraska. In reply he tells the people that, they will never see America until they see Nebraska a gloriom country-indeed. He advises every yoang"eoupIe newly married to make their way and hasten to' the west, find' homes, and' settle on: them. "If a maa stays here," (in Ohio) "and his family iacreases, he will surely see poverty, not -only see it bnt feel its fangs'. A home in Nebraska where they have no .strikes, no panics, is a good country for any man that will work. See the Hocking Valley min ors; they built nice houses some time ago, and now, through .effect of syn dicates aad strikes, they have to leave them aafLseek homos elsewhere! Go to Nebraska aad .find. a home where syndicates -rennet reach you, raise your ewjupotatoes, plume, squashes, watermelon, etc." JPeraoaal. Gus. G. Becber was at Omaha last week.

George was surprised when he got home to see such fine weather. Weataer ntepert. Review of the weather al Genoa for the month of January, 1885.
