The game was devoid of excitement until the ninth inning. Up to that time the home boys had seven score to Fre- moat's three, and the game looked like a walk-away. Jim Corbett was ofHciat iag in the box for Columbas and had done a good job until the ninth when the cunning departed from his strong right arm and the enemy brought in four runs without losing a man and tied'the score. At this critical moment Bjad.Lohr strolled up from second base aad took charge of the feeding end of MM machinery. As soon as be got his feeVin the box be began tossing the tiatl' around so recklessly that the Fre mont laddies lost all track of it and many of them were still striking at it when it was on the way back to the pitcher's box. Jack Corbett completed the aircuit, behind the bat, and the es timated time for the round trip was two seconds. The side was retired without any more runs, and Columbus came to the bat in the latter half' of the ninth with a tied score. Two men went out andLohr came to the bat. In the first half of the inning the Fremont pitcher while at the bat had got in the way of Lohr's grapevines and was called out for striking at a dead ball He now seemed disposed to get even and the first two he sent up made Dad take to the grass to save his ribs. Having thus demoral ized the enemy by heavy artillery fire, he sent one close to the plate and Dad roee.rlp and lit on it. The ball was last seen going over the canvas behind the center field and was still rising. S core, Columbus 8, Fremont, 7. There was some rag-chewing over a decision of the umpire in the first half of the exciting ninth inning when he called out a Fremonter for interfering with Shortstop Jimmy Jones while the latter was in the act of catching a ball. Joe Mahaffey was umpire, and be con vinced the Fremont boys that the de cision was in accordance with the rules, whiph declare any man out who inter fere with members of the opposing team.

' The festive tented season is once more upon us and our hearts beat in unison with our happy youngsters in the glad anticipation of again witnessing the thrilling acts of trained athletes; the antics of the perennially amusing clowns, the marvelous intelligence of the highly trained animals, and the fearsome, awe some, yet fascinated wonder which thrills our hearts when we gaze upon the wild beasts confined in the mena gerie. It is always an event when the ever welcome Norris A Rowe's big shows give exhibitions in this city, and this season more than ever before will the excitement run higher, for to the really splendid show they brought us last sea son, these clever young managers have added a huge circus world in itself It contains gymnasts, acrobats, tumblers, equilibrists, clowns, and athletes, whose marvelous flights through the air will prove spectacularly thrilling to the au dience. The greater show is just twice as large as it ever was before. It will be given in two rings and upon an elevated stage. A multitude of new features never before presented in this country will be shown. It will contain a menagerie of wild and native beasts performing elephants, camels, lions, tig ers, tapirs, Hamas, buffaloes, kangaroos, ostriches, elk,deer, ponies, goats and monkeys, but most wonderful of all will be thrilling acts performed high up in mid air by the athletes. Managers Nor ris and Rowe have secured this season to make good their claim that they have a big circus and though there has been an enormous outlay of capital in order to secure these acts and novelties, no other than the old established scale of prices will prevail. The mammoth new tents will therefore surely hold immense audiences and this way will repay the owners for their generous outlay. The new big shows will give two perform ances at Columbus, Monday, 3ept. 19. Marriage Licenses.

(From flies January 25, 1871.) E. R. Dean tells us they have orgaa ized in his neighborhood, a school con sisting of twenty-one pupils under the care of John Brown as teacher. This district is a large one, being six by nine miles in extent. Judge Coolidge of Glenwood, Iowa, father of our townsman H. P. Coolidge, died at his home January 13, 1871.

On the 6th of January fifteen men started from Columbus to explore the Loup Fork oouotry some with an eye to any stray game that might be lurking around, and others with a mind to business in the land line. Of the latter was our friend James E. North who made the trip with a view of look ing out locations for colonies. He tells us that the trip extended as far west as the fork of the main Loup with the North Branch. It is a fine ooantry, splendid land and timber. The reser vation and the land west of it as far as the party went, is spoken of as equaling the best in the state. We desire to call attention of the prop er authorities to the fact that the fron tier settlements of Nebraska from the Niobrara southward to the Platte aeed to be protected from the depredations of strolling Indians aad straggling marauders of doubtful blood snd char acter. A two company post would, perhaps, be sufficient, and of all the available stations we regard the North Banch at a point forty or fifty miles from its mouth as the best. It is cen trally located and is in the Indian range. At the Opera. Hi The fanny New England comedy, "Uncle Josh Spruceby" will be the next big event at the North Opera house commencing Tuesday Sept 20. This charming drama is a series of pictures of New England life on the farm, and the troubles of "Uncle Josh" in making a visit to New York are incidently touch ed upon; the characters are all taken from Vermont rural life and are true to nature, the play containing a mixture of pathos and humor. Special scenery is used to mount the different sceses, and the great saw mill scene used in this production is the most realistic piece of stage mechanism ever presented. Twenty people are in the company. In the cities visited this season the press are lavish in their praise of the pro duction. Many new and catchy special ties are presented. A solo operatic orchestra and a big band are the mus ical features. A big parade is given at noon daily and the concert of popular music rendered by band is very popular and attracts large crowds.
