nice leaf of Nebraska made honey.
Mr.. Speice, we believe, has been
quite successful in the management
of his bees for many years, and we
certainly wish that bis good luck
may continue.
Farmers, who are thinking OF
investing in riding plow, should
examine McBride's sulky attach
ment, on exhibition at A. w. Law
rence's, before purchasing. 1t is a
splendid thing, can be attached to
any plow and costs comparatively
little. Don't fail to see il.
AT a recent meeting of the So
ciety of Dist. No. 13, the following
resolution was passed unanimously :
ResOlced, That the thanks of the
Society are respectfully rendered to
Mr.. VIM. Zimmerman and the Board
Of Directors for their present Of a
handsome three-light chandelier, for
use i'm our sociables.
"A report reaches US that A. F..
Touzalin, General Manager of the
B. Il NJ. will also hold the same po-
sition on all the leased roads, in
cluding the A. & n. We also learn
that Mr.. Towne does not desire to
remain longer as division snperin-
tendent, and consequently another
person is expected to occupy his
place.
The March number Of the Ne
brdskd Farmer is before US and we
like it. A large amount of its space
is devoted in the present instance to
the sorghum question, and the mat
ter is well handled both editorially
and by correspondence. We furnish
the Farmer and our paper both one
year, post paid, for 50, cash in
advance.
The snow storm of Thursday
and Friday of las: week, which Wis
tied this part of the state, was a
pleasant diversion compared with
the old-fashioned kind, that lasted
three days and nights, and was so
fine that one could not see an object
a rod distant. We think those days
long since past, will come again no
more, at least If our atmosphere
continues as moist as it is now.
H. F. Snider tells us of remedy
which he gave to some sick hogs, to
their immediate relief and subse-
quent cure. They were afflicted
with chills and coughing, and all the
other indications of what is evident
ly miscallcd hog cholera. He gave
them in their swil coal oil and GIN
ger. Mr.. S. don't say that this
effected the cure, but he believes it
did, and that it will prove valuable
to hog raisers.
DR.. Brown of David City was
in town Monday. He says that Da-
vid has reaped benefit in thou
sand ways from the coming of the
Lincoln & Northwestern read. Rock
Springs coal reduced from $l050 to
$3.50; they get Fort Scott coal for
$3.50, and Summit at Sc ton. I'M
provements are going on rapidly,
and business prosperous. A new,
two-story brick school-house will
probably be erected this summer
costing about 5000.
Ten cars loaded with household
goods, stock, etc, belonging to i'm
migrants from various parts of the
United States, arrived here last week.
Among the number are Jno. Lind
strom and Jno. Nelson of Geneva,
Ill. +; Jno.M. Wethersby of Kentucky,
with six head of fine cattle; J. III.
Lawson and Nels Hanson, Piatt,
Ill. Mahlon Brown and NJ. Lehurtz
Crystal Lake, ILL.,; A. Peterson,
Dekalb, ILL.,, and several others
whose names we could not get.
VIM. Newman, brother to the
sheep king, John H., was in the city
Monday. He had read such ac-
counts of Nebraska in the JOURNAL
that he thought he would come and
see it for himself. Or course the
half had not been told him. He
thinks we have a great country for
stock, and that a man with money
can make money very rapidly. The
JOURNAL proclsims Nebraska as the
poor mans hope, the rich mans op-
and is ready to prove the
saying true by many an illustration.
The Boone Co. Argus says
there is war between the mail and
express lines now. We rather
guess that is so, from what we
heard the other day. A party of
four land hunters were going from
here west and the two bid for their
passage, cheapening each other un-
til the rate of fare was reduced to
zero by each of the transportation
companies, when the party of land
hunters divided itself equally into
the two vehicles, and started off.
Good enough thing for the passen-
gers. --'
AT the Maennerchor masquer-
ade Saturday night there were some
twenty-five couple present, who en-
joyed themselves hugely with the
festivities of the occasion. A friend
who was present. gives us the fol-
