spring fairly opens, they will all be
back and mere with them. Three
feet Of snow in Northern Iowa and
Wisconsin at this date-Gue spring

We are in receipt Of the Evening
Star, a spicy little sheet published at
Lincoln, Neb., By the Star Printing
Company" This paper is neat, well
gotten up and full of genuine wit and
keen thrusts at the existing order of
things, and is deserving Of a longer
life than has usually been allotted to
and evening paper in the Capital city,
Long may it be
Twinkle, tsinkle Little Str"
The winter term ofthe Red Cloud
school closed on Friday last. Mr..
Haley has proven himself to be an
able and eHicien, teacher.
Mark Warner has stepped down
frcm the tripod for a few days and the
last We saw of him he was leaving
town with a big book under bis arm,
which is . reminder that taxation is
inevitable.
judging from every indication,
Nebraska will receive an unusually
large immigration during the coming
summer. The world at large knows
that such trials as the state has passed
through only occur once in a geher-
alton, and to day our strte stands out
as the best country for new homes aud
cheap lands.

reaping an abundant harvest.
j. +. Smith. of the south part Of
this county, returned a few days since,
from West Virginia, where he has

A few pleasant days will give
US all an attack Of the "spring fever"
