The Flood.

The flood of the last few days ha
proved quite an inconvenient thiDi
to many of our citizens living on tn
low lands.
At Schuyler they improvised wha
they were pleased to call finet
electing Mr.. Clarkson admiral. II'v
ing little experience as water
craftsman, he abdicated in favor o
VIM. Brown. Several families liv
ing on the low lands were escorted
to safe residences.
Coming westward, we hear of d
number of incidents. Robert Me.
Pherson's house was three feet in
water, and several small farms in
the neighborhood were entirely
submerged.
Jacob Maple, though within a
quarter of mile of plenty of sub.
merged hay, offered 800 for four
tons for his stock.
James Hauey had st his place $50
head of stock besides his own,
driven into his hospitable boundary
by endangered neighbors.
Charles Rickly has cattle rancho
between the Loup and the Platte,
near their confluence. Along in the
evening of Thursday last something
came against the door of the shanty
in which were Sam. Rickly and Joe.
Miller. On examination it was
found to be the tongue Of their
wagon. floated to them. They got
into the wagon, Joe. took up his
fiddle and Sam. danced a jig, the
boys being determined not to let St.
Patrick's day slip by without some
appropriate recognition. They made
their bed in the wagon that night.
The bottom between the Loup and
Platte river wagon bridges was COW
cred Monday with three to four feet
of slush ice. Some of the detached
spans of the Platte bridge were
found safe, fiat on the prairie, while
others were seen down along the
"coast."
Mr.. Barnum's family moved out,
so we hear, at 2 o'clock Monday
morning, as have others in the neigh
borhood there-gOing to Jack son.
If the ice should gorge at all the
bridges in this vicinity, throwing
the waters of the stream out of its
bed, it would certainly make bad
work, but such an event can only be
regarded as among the barely pos
sible things.

The farmers work will be piled
up in heap, and it becomes him to
do now every possible thing that the
extreme lateness of the spring will
allow him to do, such as getting ma
chinery in order, etc., because the
very strong probability is. that when
spring does come vegetation will
will spring up as by magic. Jacob
Ernst tells us that the year he came
here, there was snow in the bluffs
north of Columbus, on the 26th day
of May, and that the season was a
very prolific one, everything plan
ted growing rapidly and producing
very abundantly. Mr.. Anderson g
advice in this weeks JOURNAL is in
sll respects good, but some ofit res
pecting farm work in Feb. and
March, is scarcely applicable this
year, unless, indeed, the remaining
days of this month should be ex-
trsordinarily warm and fiue.

The last Boone County Argus
gives an account of a woman by the
name of Mrs. John Lee perishing in
a recent snow storm. 1t has been
thought for some time that she was
insane, and in one Of her irrational
moods, that she left her home with
her children. Robert Patterson and
Robert Roberts were passing about
half a mile from the house, when
they heard cries of distress from
children, and on going in the direc-
ton whence the sounds proceeded,
found Mira. Lee and her children out
in the storm. The men divested
themselves of their overcoats, wrap
ped them around the freezing chill
dren and took them to q haystack in
the immediate vicinity for shelter.
When they returned for the mother,
they found her dead.

THE CRUEL VAR NOT OYER,

h,t
The interminable fight among the Dem
ocrats in New York seems likely to break
out as virulently as ever at the State con-
vention We do not hear so much about
Tilden and Kelly, but it is the Commit
tee of zone Hundred and Tammany.
The organizations have candidates for all
the offices, and no one is supported by
both. Each declares that the party will
be smashed to smithereens if the other
branch is allowed to win, and from the
outside talk we should judge that both
were correct.
The Republicans of the EN- pire State
are good deal disturbed, but in spite of
the Conkling ruction, they are in better
fighting trim than their opponents. This
miserable factional fight of the New York
Democrats has lost the party the Presi-
dency and seems likely to continue in the
same direction. When the Democrats
have sufficient strength to carry tn e
country without New York they may be
able to batter little reason into the
craniums of these warriors. Perhaps
if Tilden and Kelly should both die at the
same instant, harmony might be restored,
but even that is doubtful If one sur
vived the other, the war would certainly
continue and, in fact, it has reached a
state of affairs where it has ceased to be
individual and has entered into the gen
eral political controversies of this gener-
alton
