It is now plain to be seen why Leopold left us last June and has remain eda way so long. He and his bride will be warmly welcomed to their Nebraska home. A burglar broke into the B. & M. depot, this city, Thursday night of last week and drilled six holes In the safe, but failed to open it. He opened the ticket case.

Tho extremely liberal manner in which the press of the country has lavished praise upon tho McGibeny Family indicates, beyond doubt, that the entertainments presented are far beyond the ordinary. The, leading Boston and Cleveland paper report them in colomn lengths and exhaust the adjectives of the English language in trying to describe the furore crea ted, and the merits of the perform ance. The mother is a refined aud cultivated lady, and the father has Bpent bis lifetime in teaching vocal and instrumental music. It is not strange that the children should be musical, and their talents in this di rection being very remarkable and cultivated thoroughly from infancy in what is said to be one of the most harmonious and lovely family circles in the world, ehould shine with dazzling light upon the platform, and lead the immense audiences which everywhere have greeted the family, to the highest pitch of enthusiasm. They will appear at the Opera House on Monday evening, Oct. 5th, under the auspices of the Congregational church. They have a full band, a full orchestra, a fall chorus, and ten soloists, and are undoubtedly the greatest musical family in the world, Don't fail to hear them. Admission 50 cents, children 25 cents. Reserved seats 75 cents. Tickets, now on sale at Dowty & Chinn's drug-store. The case of the State against Robt. Lewis, charged with closing up a road, attracted some attention last week, before Justice Rickly. It 6eems that Mr. Lewis has given roads pretty well around his farm, and con cluded he would try the law npon a passage-way diagonally across one corner of it ; McAllister Bros, his at torneys, alleged that the road had never been laid out as a public road, aever naa been dedicated as sucn, J. ired on the part of the public, by occupancy. We didn't inquire into the intricacies of the case, but sup pose it has been a neighborly, friendly legal argument all around to deter mine legal rights, because, while the decision of the Justice was against Mr. Lewis, he declares that he will pay the fine himself rather than issue a mittimus. Mrs. Kittnehr of Schuyler tried to hasten her kitchen fire with kero sene poured from a can. She and her little child were burned from head to foot, the flesh dropping off in places. The child died the next morning, and the woman's recovery is doubtful. Her husband, who succeeded in ex tinguishing the flames, is terribly burned, and his hands will probably have to be amputated. The Herald says that oil cans have been banished from the kitchens of Schuyler, but it is too much to hope that the Kittnebrs will be the last victims of the careless use of kerosene. "Guilty Without Crime" was pre sented Monday night at the Opera House by Craig's Comedy Co. We had not the pleasure of being present, but everybody there was delighted, and prouounco the Company excel lent, all good performers. Going to press Tuesday evenings we cannot say anything of the "Danites" ren dered last .evening. "Pink Domi noes" will be given this evening, and "Camille" tomorrow evening. The Company deserve to be well patron -ized by the public. Charles Lindey was arrested here Friday, charged with having burned the buildings of Applegarth Bros, in Boone co. four years ago last 4th. of July. At. St Edward he got away from the offieers by jumping from the window of the water closet while the train was in motion. A passen ger on the platform noticed a man overboard, and speaking of it, the officers dicovered the absence of their prisoner. The train was stopped and the prisoner recaptured.

This is indicated in many ways, now and again, bnt the very .latest straw of evidence toward that fact is the very considerate conduct of a sneak thief on Saturday night at G. W. Stevens's barn. He stole a set of double harness, excepting a pair of new lines and one snap on the same. Holy communion will be cele brated at Grace church next Sunday by the rector, Rev. Dr. Goodale. The bishop will visit this parish Sunday morning, Oct. 18, '85. Those ready and desirous of confirmation will please notify the rector in doe sea son. No church services on second Sunday in October (lltb) as the rec tor wrfrbe absent. The best stock of heating stoves ever brought to Columbus is at Wer muth & Boettcber's hardware store. They have already received various orders for their celebrated hard coal burner "Splendid," which is taking the lead in all eastern cities. People wanting heaters this fall will do well to drop into their establishment beforebuying elsewhere. 22-2 1 Hempleman sells from a paper of pins or needles to a suit of clothes, and from a pair of mittens or gloves to an overcoat and should yon be in want of a stick of candy or a barrel of salt, yon can obtain the same right at his general store,-pays the highest price for yonr eggs and batter. 22-c-Ht reraaaal.

Wandel arrived home from bis visit to the Fatherland Wednes day last, looking as though the trip had done him a deal of good. Geo. Young of North Bend is visit ing friends and old acquaintances in the city. He has been a citizen of Nebraska twenty-nine years. W. S. Anderson of Denver, Brother of J. E.

H., of Big Rapids, Mich., arrived in Columbus Thursday, expecting to remain several weeks. This is his first visit to Nebraska. Jefferson Winship of Butler coun ty, visited Columbus Monday, the first in a long time. There is mis chief enough in him to spread over two counties anyway. Prof. J. T. Mallalieu of the Ne-' braska Reform School was iu town Monday. He gives an excellent ac count of Geo. Davis, who is a pupil of the school from this county, and who was allowed to come down and visit his mother, returning Monday with Mr. Mallalieu. The CaaTacatiea. The Convocation recently held in Grace Church (Episcopal) in this city, was a grand success. There were fifteen clergy in attendance. The Rt. Rev. Bishop of Nebraska presided dur ing the entire convocation. Of the pa pers read, tliA;tf-the Rev. M. F. Ca rey Rector or ot Mary's, Nebraska City, and the one by the Rev. John Williams, Rector St. Barnabas, Oma ha, were very excellent. The sermon delivered by the Rev. C. B. Brewster, Rector Groach church, Baltimore, was considered one of great merit, and so highly prized that by vote of the convocation, Mr. Brewster was re quested to furnish the manuscript for publication in the diocesan paper. The paper read by the Rev. Mr. Pearson was a plain, outspoken state ment of facts on the subject of lav E reaching, and was heartily approved y the clergy present. A plan was set on foot to arrange a uniform scheme of S. S. instruction in the diocese. Subjects, and the usual number of writers and speakers were announced for the next convocation to be held in the South Platte early in 1886. The bishop made a good impression during his stay here, and with re newed acquaintance much good will result from the ties of pastor and people; and the bishop with the hearty co-operation of the clergy under his immediate oversight, can accomplish much good. The Rev. F. R. Millspaugh, dean of Trinity Cathedral, Omaha, read evening prayer on Wednesday, and matins on Thursday. The Bishop assisted by the Revs. Messrs. Hannill and Henry, celebrated the holy eu charist on Thursday at 7:30 a. m. An offering of 87.00 was made for diocesan missions at one of the services. ColaMbms aLyceam.

Copp, the land lawyer of Washington, D. C, sends the ninth edition of Copp's settler's guide, an indispensable book to all who are in terested in public land. A chapter, illustrated with numerous cuts, shows how to tell township, section and quarter-section corners, and explains the system of government surveys. It gives the latest rulings and in structions under the homestead, pre emption, timber culture, desert land, and other laws. The price of the book is only 25 cents. It will tell you who is entitled to enter land; how continuous your residence must oe; wnat improve ments you must make; what affi davits you must swear to; all about contests, and on what grounds they can be commenced ; also about state lands, stone and timber lands, min eral lands, desert entries, saline, rail road, coal, townsite, and other lands ; scrip, warrant, and other entries. Its purchase will save money and trouble, sb erroneous statements cir culated by conversation among settlers may, if acted on, cost you a contest, perhaps your land and im provements, lp Monroe IieatK.

It is found in threshing that wheat does not come up to the average of last year, either in quantity or quality. Mr. Marcus Judd met with a ser ious accident while threshing, getting bis hand cut by a knife in the hands of the band cutter. T. D. X. Ceaaty Maervior. The Board met Monday morning and have been busy ever since. The petition of residents of Platte Center to be incorporated was grant ed, after some little question as to the extent of territory covered by the proposed corporation. A druggist's permit was granted to Dr. Meade of Platte Center. The resignation of R. L. Roaaitcrr as supervisor of Lost Creek township was accepted and Charles C. Carrig appointed. The petition of Patrick Gleason for the vacation of a certain portion of the south Shell creek road across his farm waB rejected. A number of references were made committees, and the board is still in session as we go to press. Full re port next week. Bishop O'Ceaaor at Daicaa. The Most Rev. Bishop O'Connor of Omaha, Father Saraphine of. Colum bus, Father Boniface of Platte Center and Father Miller of DaVid City arrived here at 9 a. in.

Otto Mueller put up a new two story frame dwelling house a few months ago. Louis Heidner has a barn, granary and chicken-house combined a very useful improvement. A horse died the other day in George Hodel's corn-field. Thel owner of the horse is unknown. O. D. Butler has set out a fine lot of apple trees, and numerous other varieties; he also has a grove of catalpas. I learn that Mr. C. J. Moore is losing his hogs by hog cholera, that fatal disease that is killing, hogs in such large numbers with such start ling rapidity. Farmers should take every precaution against this terrible disease at once, if there is any pre caution which could be taken. Some say to feed hogs that are sick with hogs that havo died of the disease and it will cure them ; others say that it will not. As I have not bad any ex perience, I cannot speak for myself. If any who may read this paragraph know of any preventive I would be glad to bear of it through the columns of the Journal. Last spring, George Hodel put out a hundred apple, a hundred and fifty pear trees and eighteen hundred grape vines, which promise in time to become quite a vineyard, for you all remember the old adage, "Tall oaks from little acorns grow." which is a very instructive and truthful one. Mr. Hodel only came to Nebraska about a year ago ; he is a very en terprising farmer. He has built quite a number of buildings and set out a great deal of small fruit since he came, which adds to the general look and worth of his place. All farmers with the means should follow his example. He also has quite a herd of cattle, an indispensable class of stock for a Nebraska farm. C. D. W. letter L,ltft.
