several weeks, was in town Wednes-
day Of last week, for the first time
since his recent attack. All his old
friends will be glad to hear this.
Champion s. Chase, Esq. of
Omaha, called at the JOURNAL Office
last Thursday in our absence. We
are always glad to see the COL, aud
hope we may be present at his next
call.
On Tuesday of last week Mrs.

died at York, this State, aged 66
years.
1T is rule, the adoption of

dollars, to deal always with honest
men whom you know, instead Of
men you don't know, who may be
dishonest.
The Columbus Dramatic Troupe
are at work on new play, "Saved,"
and a farce "Seeing the Elephant"
which they expect to render to a
Columbus audience, about two
weeks hence.
Can not a gymnasium on some
mutual plan be instituted in Colum-
bus? Snch an institution combines
healthful recreation and amusement,
and would be a good thing for the
young men.
WIN. Lamb is erecting a new
business building on his lot adjoin-
ing the post-office. building on
Nebraska Avenue. We learn that
he will soon erect another business
house on the site of his burnt build
ing.
Nicholas SiOffel, brother of
Matthew Stoffel, accompanied by
six other well-tO-do-farmers, all
from Lake Co., Ill.,, arrived here on
Friday last to settle on lands i'm
Platte county a little west of st.
Bernard.
The VI. E. Sabbath School of
this city under the care aud super
intendence Of A. c. Tigner is rap
idly increasing i'm numbers, having
nearly doubled its membership
within the last six months. The
school has a good corps of teachers,
and J. N. Reynolds is making the
Bible class exceedingly interesting.
j. N. Moody, who teaches
school i'm District No. Is, Bismark
Precinct, this county, had his collar
bone broken on Tuesday of last
week, by the horse he was riding at
a good gait, frightening, slipping,
falling down and pitching him off
head foremost to the ground thus
causing the painful fracture.
Mr.. Benz. Reed passed through
the city Thursday, bound for his
farm in Stanton County. Mr.. Reed
became discouraged some time since
with his farming prospects in Neb.,
and returned to Iowa, ard now
comes back 10 make Nebraska his
future home. May great success
crown his labors.
One Of the handsomest sights in
the city is the flower garden at the
Hammond House. We notice that
additional sash have been put up
and we suppose the garden is to be
enlarged. The whole upper porch
filled with flowers, those within
eye-shot can not fail to admire the
miniature Elysium.
Outside the list Of land agents
We don't know of any one who re-
ceives more inquiries than Father
Ryan with regard to our country,
and it is simply wonderful TO see
the queries that are put at him, but
when he starts 10 answer them he |
soon realizes that "Airt is long and |
time is f1eeting," and tells them TO |
come and see for themselves.
The fact is often remarked that |
while Columbus is one of the oldest |
cities in the State and might stand
first in regard to ornamentation of
yards and grounds, she does not |
compare favorably in this respect
with many of her younger sisters.
No one thing will go farther toward
beautifying a home and making it
attractive to the eye than shade
trees and shrubbery iu the yard.
F. Brodfuehrer, jeweler, has, at
MS otoiC ou oIiNC stICCty Wudt Is
commonly known as a policeman's
clock, so called not because carried
by them, but because it very accu-
rately records the time policeman
puts in his appearance, provided the
aforesaid gentleman pulls a cord,
which moves a spring, which sets in
motion a pin, which neatly punches
hole in paper ribbon which is SO
ruled that it marks the hours and
quarters. The device is a good one,
and while Brodfuehrer is taking
pains to show you just how it works
don't forget to look at the immense
stock of other clocks he has on
hands, besides the boundless array
of watches, jewelry, breastpins, ETC.,
