George. The Scaayler Herald makes the charge that "yeueg, incompetent and immoral teachers" have beea licensed to teach ia the schools of. Colfax couaty. The County Superintendent called upon the Herald editors to be specific, aadjaame those who were incompetent, immoral or too young; this they refuse to do, alleging that it woald involve them in trouble. The mother of Miss Minnie Dish ner was in the city Saturday last Dec 5tb, and told ns that her daugh ter was about as usual. Monday last, Dec. 7, was the sixth week or forty second day of her "sleep." A lady of ocr acquaintance, a former resi dent of Illinois, says that she knew of a young woman in that state who slept seven weeks and returned to consciousness all right, her affliction coming from tbe same cause as Miss Disbner's is supposed to come. The wind Friday was boisterous, wild, strong and narnly, ot course. It is wonderfni how many things, seemingly solid, will give way before a little air set in motion. The smoke stack at the Columbus Mill went down, breaking into three pieces; numerous small houses, some signs, some weak fences, &c., went down before the wind; a stick of timber from Hughs's lumber yard blew through the west wall of the Metho dist church, at the side of a window ; tbe wheel of the wind mill at the U. P. depot was destroyed. Some unknown friend at Salt Lake has kindly sent tu copies of tbe Herald of Nof 29, and the Evening News of Nov. 30 and Dec. 2d, giving accounts of the trouble at Salt Lake. From these (Mormon) papers, it ap pears that last Saturday night week Deputy Marshal Collius shot Joseph McMurrin, Collins claiming that he was attacked by four men who tried to assassinate him, and that he shot in self-defence. Marshal Ireland took Collins under his protection, and at latest accounts, so far as these papers go, he was still under the pro tection of the marshal and hid away from tbe local authorities. The first train to reach the new townsite of Buffalo Gap arrived on the 27th. The sale of town lots began at 11 o'clock, resulting in the sale of fifty-four lots at an aggregate amount of 1x7,000. Lota brought as high as $1760. Ninety men are at work com pleting the track aad preparing to open the road for traffic. Moving from the old town to tbe new is in progress. An excursion train, with fifty railroad officials and others, arrived at noon. Among the number was Engineer Ainswortb, of the Fre mont, Elkhorn k Missouri Valley road. Shortly thereafter the cere mony of driving the tin spike was performed, amid much enthusiasm. Fremont Herald. Joseph Bucher showed us one day last week what was left of tbe gun barrel which was tho cause of the loss of John Gillan'e hand. About six inches of the under part of tbe barrel at the breech was blown out and not fonnd. The lock was blown off but found. Forepart of stock blown into slivers. His hand must have rested on the part of the barrel blown off, just at the paint where the whole charge came ont. It appears that no part of the charge came out at the muzzle of the gon. Mr. Gillan is now at St. Mary's hospital in this city and reported getting along very well. Mr. Bucher says that he is about 30 years old, a single man and has been in this country about two years and ia Mr. Bncher's employ about sixteen months and was one of tbe best men he ever had in his em ploy. It was reported here Saturday evening that Mormon policemen at Salt Lake .had inveigled the U. S. Marshal into a house aad then rid dled him with bullets ; that within an hour after the news had reached Washington, troops were enroote tp Salt Lake from Cheyeaae and Omaha. Certaia it was that soldiers were going west, but the dailies of Sunday gave no confirmation of the rumors. All good citizens will nnite in sus taining the president in enforcing the laws, if aeed be wkh the whole power of the government. Wherever the civil authorities are inadequate for the preservation of the public peace, dist arbors oagat to have a touch of military rale. Only aa a last resort, .of course, -bat protection to the rights of citizens nnder the laws of tbe land, should be swift, sure and ample, and if that protection cannot be accorded peaceably, it aaoald be aecared by- farce. To be a citizen of tbe United States, should mean a good deal. To be aa aalear of the Uaited States, ia the discharge of hie lawful dnty saeeld' be aa absolately sate passport, at least la this coaatry. The Millet IMTorce Salt. The Denver Tribune-Sepubh'can of Dec. 1st has tho following paragraph concerning a case in which one of our old citizens is interested : Byron Millet has filed an affidavit in the superior court, where his wife, Mary E., is suing for a divorce and alimony that puts the plaintiff in a bad light. He says he was cajoled by plaintiff into marriage, by her repre senting that she was virtuous, and that her alleged illegitimate ehild was her younger sister, whose father was now dead ; that shortly after their re moval from Omaha to Denver, his wife's mother, sister, brother and the alleged illegitimate child came to Denver and squatted in his Campa street house so that he had to leave it; he then believing that plaintiff, in connection with her mother's family, intended to get rid of him by fonl means for the purpose of getting his property ; that the plaintiff and family and alleged illegitimate child are still living upon and enjoying his premi ses and property ; and tbe affiant be lieves that the only object plaintiff had in marrying him was to defraud and blackmail him out of his property and compel him to support her said family. This tbe affiant oners to prove by sufficient evidence, and, therefore, prays the court may allow him to amend his cross-complaint in that regard, for tbe purpose of show ing fraud to annul said marriage.

Jaeggi & Schupbach have leased from tho Columbus Water works and Light Co. the privilege of putting up and operating an electric light, and have now (or rather had Monday morning) a subscription of thirty-four for lights, at $5 a month. With their own use of tw&nty lights, this will make it necessary for them to purchase a fifty-light plant. They bavo spent considerable timo work ing up this project thus far, and don't feel incliued to take any more time, as their private business needs all their attention. Tbe machinery will be ordered next Saturday. If there are any more who wish to subscribo they should make it known im mediately. If there are 100 sub scribers, all told, (fitly more than tbey already have) tbe expense will be lowered to each one from $5.00 a month to $3.00. Tbe system they will use is the best approved, and gives a stead, strong light. Council Proceedings. The committee authorized to in quire into tho feasibility of water works reported that the city would need about $25,000 for the purpose of erecting such works as would give satisfaction. Tbe matter was dis cussed at considerable length, and it was determined that if there Beemed a likelihood that bonds could be voted for that sum, the council would move in tbe matter. In this case it is de sired that tbe tax-payers of the city express their wish by petition, which should be done this week, as the council will meet next Saturday for the special purpose of acting upon this subject. It is tbe intention of tbe council that the contract be let to tbe lowest bidder, not excluding anybody.

We notice onr postmaster out the other day looking for the postofice sign that was carried away by the gentle zephyrs on Thursday night. The festival at the M. E. church on Thursday night was a grand success. Tbe committee report as a profit aoout f4U, wnicn amount will be ap plied to finishing np the church. Mr. George Alexander and Miss Effle Nicholson wore joined in the holy bonds of matrimony by 'Squire Hopkins on Thanksgiving, and are now traveling life's rugged path. Wo notice Mr. W. H. Tedrow in our city on the 26th, looking as pleas ant, or in other words as well, or I might say feeling as good, or at least ho was laughing vary hearty because he had snowed the other "feller" under. We learn that one of the Proproski's a Polander, living three miles north of this place had hjprned a straw stack on Thursday, tbe day before the wind storm, and that the wind re-kindled tbe. flames which got into the prairie setting fire to bis stable and burning up three valuable horses. We are very sorry to report the painful accident that happened to Mr. Daniel Macken on last Sunday even ing while out ridiug with a lot of other young men. His horse fell and falling on him bruised him up very much, but we understand that he is getting better at this writing. The wind storm at this place on Friday was most terrific, everything that was looso was blown down, chimneys, outhouses, sheds, hay stacks &c, and one of the most laughable incidents was that Mr. Levi Harmon borrowed a clay bank broncho from Mr. Jonn Wolf, to ride home on Thursday night, and he put him in his stable, and when he got up next morning low and behold his barn was blown away, and the broncho gone. He found the broncho on Sunday morning at Mr. Stephen Gleason's one mile southeast, where he was put in tbe barn right in line with the wind storm. The only accident that we learn of is that C C. Carrig re ceived a slight bruise from the blow ing away of the porch in front of Hal len & Byrns's store. The liberty pole was smasnea all to 6mitnereens. Sarll Creek Iteats.

Mr. John Elliott has built on his farm a good cattle shed and a ditto bog pen even hogs and cattle shar ing in Nebraska's prosperity by get ting better quarters. Uncle John knows bow to build good sheds not only, but roads and bridges too. Our Welsh neighbors have built another church about two or three miles northeast of here and they are fencing in the one here. They are the most numerous in our township and many around it. They are generally good, auiet ciUzens, minding their own bnsiness. Mr. Mich Cooney bought a grade heifer at Mr. Henrich's last year's sale and she was lately weighed and turn ed the scales at 1820 lbs. see what good stock is. Another sale of such stock is contemplated by Mr. H. for this wiater. Those intending to get good young breeding stock cheap and on long time should make a note of it. Beautiful weather on Shell creek, perhaps at a few small places around this grand center of the world, the wise and prudent ones are improving it by getting their corn busked in good season. A few slothful ones are behind and a few stingy ones are waiting lor tho follow to come along who will do it for nothing aud board himself and make them a present for tbe privilege. Both the slothful and tbe stingy ones who are behind after much long continued fine weather will not earn tbe good will of their neighbors who on such fellows account will have to herd their stock all winter and keep their children from school and freeze their noses and ears and feet. They, forget that a good neighbor near by is much better than a brother far away. X.Y.Z. HifiBsark Preclact. Joseph Hodel is g oing to school in Columbus. Mr. Nouuberg has erected a shed for his hogs. Tbe weather ba3 been quite severe tbe last few days. Corn husking is almost finished in this neighborhood.

His horse pot its foot into an old wagon track, throw ing him to the ground, rolling over on him, breaking his nose, catting his face, and, it it feared, injuring him internally. The wind has been remodeling the hay stacks, around here, ran John G. Dreher's wagon through his yard, broke bis pasture fence, smashed his new hay rack all to pieces, and let his cattle out, and in endeavoring to col lect them, he lost a new cap ; he howeyer recovered it in the after noon. It also broke George Hodel's wind-mill to pieces. C. D. Wilson. Jtaaree Iteaaa. James Gillan, sr., is qaite ill. A series of meetings is in progress at Okay, conducted by Revs. Lang and Espling.

Editor Journal: The storm of tbe night and moruing of the 3d, caused much loss of property and damages both in town and country.
