The young people of tbe neighborhood, together with several teachers from the Institute were there, and all united In saying they had enjoyed themselves, and in wish ing Miss Jones "many happy birth days." There are excellent voices in the Andrews company, notably the basso of George Andrews, who gave us as encore "Heart Bow'd Down" with power, force and feeling. All the singing was good and the musical accompaniaments by Miss Nettie Wilson at the piano and Frank Wil liams at the violin was an important feature of the entertainment. Every thing connected with the Andrews rendition of tbe Mikado was as near perfection as that degree can be at tained upon a small stage and with out a chores numerically strong. Aside from these featares the An drews Midado eqaala the beet pre sentations of this opera npoa met riaaUtaa beards. Yankton Dakota im. Tbe first of the week, upon invi tation of Mr. Peter Heimbach, the cornet bead aad others from Colum bus, besides about 100 friends and neighbors of Mr. H., visited this gen tleman's premises on the Looking glass 18 miles northwest of this city and the universal expression of the band boys is that they had a royal good time. Since taking possession of this place (formerly owned by W. E. Walton) Mr. Heimbach has brought about a wonderful change in the sur roundings, and it is the general opin ion of knowing ones in that vicinity that it will become famous as a resort and be visited by many people from near and far. Underneath the large, wide-spreading boughs of mammoth elm tree?, Mr. H. has graded np from the creek making a very fine croquet ground which can also be used for dancing purposes. Thirty-eight feet above the creek bed, built upon tbe huge limbs of the giant tree of all, is a platform supported by strong tim bers large enough to accommodate quite a number of persons who might be inclined to the novelty of enjoying a dance "up a tree." This platform is easily reached by foot steps cut into the side hill. A spring of splendid water is close by which adds mate rially to the comfort of visitors. Mr. Nick Heimbach says that in a short time he will have the arrangements complete for boat riding on the pellucid waters of the Lookingglass. The person who still doubts that Nebraska is not a fruit-growing state should visit this place aud have such doubt removed. Here cau be been four acres bearing as tine aud thrifty young apple trees as one would wish to see, which are just beginning to furnish golden fruit. 1'luuis, both wild and tame, grapes, several different varie ties, raspberries, walnuts, aud in fact almost all kinds of fruit, here abound in abundance. 31. V.Moudy, Esq., of Genoa, was present and during the afternoon was called on by the assembly for re marks, and in his usual happy manner thanked the host and hostess, on behalf of guests, tor the enjoyments of the day. The ladies of 31 r. lleinibach's household deserve considerable credit for the fault less manner in which meals were served, all the substantials and delicacies of the season being ou tbe table, and presented at call by Miss Lena llcinibach aud her friend 3Iiss Lizzie Cook. Even such a fastidious and hearty feeder as our jovial friend Emil Pohl, leader of tne band, was completely satis- tied, filled. When a modest companion, quietly asked a question, he snapped back at him, " My , 31ike, don't talk to me, I want to cat." The only draw back to the enjoyment of the day was the disappointment of the Columbus folks in not witnessing a wedding that it was in timated was to take place, and for which Henry A. is mainly, if not wholly, re sponsible. Our reporter gives us the program of the concert on the return trip led by Walter Phillips and John Seipp, and the record that G. A. Schroe der made as a manipulator of the ribbons ol the four-in-hand, but lack of space prevents publishing. COLUMBUS LYCEIIiH. Heaefit Night Opera. Haue, Friday, Avar. 97th, ?: p. m. Programme.

A friend who was in attendance upon the Chautauqua Assembly this year at Crete says that the idea of the Assembly is a sensible one and was encouraged by the presence of many prominent business and professional men. No doubt but another year will find an increased attendance. It is universally conceded that Nebraska needs more recreation- than she takes, and this that tbe Assembly provides is so mixed with intellectual pleasures that it is really delightful. The premium list of the Platte county fair, to be held September 29 to October 1st, inclusive, reached our table Monday morning, bearing the imprint of the Columbus Journal. The premiums offered are liberal and comprehensive, with numerous valu able special premiums. Typograph ically the job is the neatest of its kind that has reached us this season. David City Tribune. The Waterworks. The pump and boiler are on hand and being put in place. The system of wells is complete, giving an abundance of water and of good quality.

Sparhawk was in the city Saturday last and informed us that during the thunder storm of the day before his dwelling-house was struck by an electric current, running along a clothes line and entering the build ing and shattering tbe sheeting where the staple holding the clothes line was driven. Mrs. S. suffered a slight shock, otherwise the damage- was slight There is a growing sentiment that Platte county should have what is called a "poor farm," that is, a farm upon which the proper buildings shall be placed, and where the county's poor people can be properly looked after, and given work to do suited to their strength or their weakness. This growing sentiment will make itself felt before many years. ttet, Will be in his ofilce the last three days of each week, Thars., Fri., and Sat.
