Michael Savago gave us a very pleasant call Monday. In speaking of a wagon bridge across the Loup, near the Union Pacific bridge, he sees several objections, both on account of travel and of fire. Jonas Hedman was in town yes terday aud gave us a pleasant call. He is somewhat afflicted with rheu matism, but was able to do his. own work through the storms this winter, and not lose any stock. Washington correspondence of tho Omaha Bee intimates a comprom ise between the Miller and the Morton wings of the democracy, whereby the two great leaders have divided the spoils of office between their ad herents. It seems that our Dan. Condon has been to Omaha, and got away with some of the contractors there on doing some of their grading. The proposition to relet the bids because a "non-resident" secured the contract, is pronounced by tho lice a little thin. The Grand Island Independent says: "Gue Koehler has purchased 116 acres of land south of town. He intcuds putting in two more large spring lakes on the same, and stock ing them with fish." Here is a man who has made fish farming practical and paying. Why caunot others fol low suit? Fremont Herald. The Texas hotel proprietor that fiddled while the rain poured down through his roof, had an excuse, "when it rained ho couldn't put on the now roof, and when it didn't rain he had no need of one," but Colum bus aud Butler and Loup precincts and Plat to county need a bridge across tho Loup all days of the year. Good, pure seeds of all kiuds aro investments necessary to success. Buy of a special dealer whom you know to bo reliable and responsible. Thous&qds of dollars have been lost to Nebraska through iuferior Beeds and bad nursery Btock. Patronize the best, and patronize home dealers, who deal fairly, and whose interest it is to build up a business. A late number of the American Volunteer, published at Carlisle, Pa., has au extended account of our ven erable friend John Elliott of this city, that docs him great credit as a soldier of the war with Mexico, and as a man among his first friends and neighbors. John Elliott, the writer says, was the model hero for all the boys who knew him, after "he came home from the wars." Mr. Pollock, the signal service officer at Omaha, says, "We have had a tremendous enow-fall this year as compared with former seasons. The total 6now fall thus far this season has been two feet nine inches, with six weeks of snow weather to hear from. We have already had far more 6now than during any entire season since I have been in charge of the office, five years. I think it beats the record." The Jouknal job department is prepared to furnish, on short notice, all kinds of commercial work, snch as letter heads, note heads, bill beads, statements, circulars, envel opes, cards, dodgers, posters, &c. ; visiting cards; lawyers' briefs; pamphlets; catalogues; sale bills, &c. Satisfaction guaranteed. Orders by mail promptly attended to. Ad dress, M. K. Turner & Co., Colum bus, Nebr. tf The electric apparatus is being pnt in place over town, by the Co lumbus Milling Co., and soon Colum bus can congratulate herself upon her increased facilities for seeing the world and being seen. Light is the best policy, and if night hawks could be induced to stay home, communities would be much better off. Consider ing how much it costs the honest and industrious portion of citizens to keep and care for the dishonest and disso lute, it is a wonder they don't get dis couraged and give it up as a bad iob. However, the light will help some. truce Muafcers. A good deal of surprise and in terest was created in the community last week by news of the existence in the city of a case of hysteria catalepsy, very similar to that with which Miss Minnie Dishner, of Columbus, was lately afflicted. Miss Mattie Lucas, a young lady of abont seventeen, at tending onr public schools, retired to her bed Thursday evening complain ing of sickness, and the next morn ing was fonnd by her sister, Mrs. Geo. Davidson, in an apparently un conscious condition. A physician was at once summoned, and the case found to be as we have stated. Miss Lucas' symptoms have answered very closely to those of the somewhat notable case which we have quoted. During a part of her sickness she called occasionally the names of re latives and friends, and would oc casionally beckon to those whom she seemed to perceive at a distance. At other times she became nnable to move or to manifest any sign of con sciousness, and would remain in any position in which she was placed, although, as Bhe has since stated, she was generally aware of what was going on aronnd her. At these periods any conversation calculated to excite her emotions, which would perhaps be quite lively in a case of this kind, wonld bring tears to her eyes in great profusion. Nourish ment was given her occasionally, through the means of liquid food, which was placed in her month in such a way as to excite the action of swallowing. Last Monday evening, however, to the great relief of her friends and all concerned, she awaked from her protracted sleep, having been nnder its influence abont ninety-six hours. The case has naturally attracted a good deal of at tention, although all will be glad to learn that apprehensions need be no longer maintained. Central City Courier. Colambaa aLycesue.

Williams & Gates, the proprietors, have established a factory here, and will soon canvass tho county in the interest of their enterprise. In brief, it consists of pickets four feet in length, 1. inches wide and inches thick, woven at short intervals be tween five pairs of galvanized wire the five pairs of wires being twisted between the pickets to hold them solid. One can not well imagino a fence made of pine pickets and wire that could bo stronger for the expense than this is, and it combines all the good qualities of a fence strength, cheap ness, durability, attractiveness to the eye, no injury to 6tock, easy to repair. Don't build any fence without seeing this. Call at the factory or address Williams & Gates, 2 Columbus, Nebr. CoHBcil Proceeding.

The people of Milford have got themselves into a muss over their water works. It seems that after the water works had been built, the bonds which were to pay for them were found to be illegal, and a new election was called, to vote other bonds. In the meantime the water works collapsed, and when the elec tion came off the bonds were defeated. Thereupon the contractors, Cocklin & Noakes, sued the village for 1999.99, and the case will be tried before Judge Lowley on the 12th. It will doubtless be an interesting case. Seicard Blade. Or.

It is a great blessing that the 6now is going off so slowly. If it would go off with warm and heavy rains we would get terrible freshets.

The Platte Centeritcs aro expecting a new bank there to put their sur plus money in. Hope they will get oue as good and reliable as our Co lumbus institutions of that kind and have money to deposit. February is doing hotter than Jan uary so far as tho weather is con cerned. Our provident farmers have but few losses to report. They are getting more careful and better ablo to provide feed and shelter for their stock. Says the Yankee to a German and an Irishman : "You drink lager bear and eat sauerkraut, and you drink whiskey and eat potatoes and wear wooden shoes, and ain't you begin ning to liko them all, even better than we?" said they. Are they wrong? The snow is melting, nest eggs only being left in the sloughs. Speaking of nest eggs, don't forget to get them ready, as the hens are beginning to cackle. They often, however, cackle when they have not layed, like some men talking abont their own good works when yon look closely, no egg is there. Speak and write proper names plainly and distinctly, is a lesson and a moral taught by a recent mistake in the Journal. Another point found out is this: The Journal is not a small, obscure local little rag of a thing, but a papor of largo and ex tensive circulation. Now to the mis take: The Journal reported a few weeks ago that Rev. A. Henrich had gone to Denver on a visit, but he had only gono to Glenville, Neb., but mark the result ! His son and daugh ter, residing in Denver, Colorado, went to the depot again and again to meet him, and feared he was snow bound on the way and wrote letters to find out what had become of him. Moral to the Editor: Be careful what yon print ! X. Y. Z. Palextlae. Messrs. Gillispio are having a well bored on their placo. The roads are in an almost impassi ble condition with an ordinary load.
