The case of the State againstRobt. Lewis, charged with closing upa road, attracted some attention lastweek, before Justice Rickly. It6eems that Mr. Lewis has given roadspretty well around his farm, and con-

cluded he would try the law npon apassage-wa- y diagonally across onecorner of it ; McAllister Bros, his at-

torneys, alleged that the road hadnever been laid out as a public road,aever naa been dedicated as sucn,

J.ired on the part of the public, byoccupancy. We didn't inquire intothe intricacies of the case, but sup-

pose it has been a neighborly, friendlylegal argument all around to deter-mine legal rights, because, while thedecision of the Justice was againstMr. Lewis, he declares that he willpay the fine himself rather than issuea mittimus.

Mrs. Kittnehr of Schuyler triedto hasten her kitchen fire with kero-sene poured from a can. She and herlittle child were burned from head tofoot, the flesh dropping off in places.The child died the next morning, andthe woman's recovery is doubtful.Her husband, who succeeded in ex-

tinguishing the flames, is terriblyburned, and his hands will probablyhave to be amputated. The Heraldsays that oil cans have been banishedfrom the kitchens of Schuyler, but itis too much to hope that the Kittnebrswill be the last victims of the carelessuse of kerosene.

If the millenium is not in sight, itis a fact that the world is growingbetter. This is indicated in manyways, now and again, bnt the very.latest straw of evidence toward thatfact is the very considerate conductof a sneak thief on Saturday night atG. W. Stevens's barn. He stole aset of double harness, excepting apair of new lines and one snap on thesame.

The CaaTacatiea.The Convocation recently held in

Grace Church (Episcopal) in thiscity, was a grand success. There werefifteen clergy in attendance. The Rt.Rev. Bishop of Nebraska presided dur-ing the entire convocation. Of the pa-

pers read, tliA;tf-th- e Rev. M. F. Ca-

rey Rector or ot Mary's, NebraskaCity, and the one by the Rev. JohnWilliams, Rector St. Barnabas, Oma-ha, were very excellent. The sermondelivered by the Rev. C. B. Brewster,Rector Groach church, Baltimore,was considered one of great merit, andso highly prized that by vote of theconvocation, Mr. Brewster was re-

quested to furnish the manuscript forpublication in the diocesan paper.The paper read by the Rev. Mr.Pearson was a plain, outspoken state-ment of facts on the subject of lav

reaching, and was heartily approvedEy the clergy present. A plan wasset on foot to arrange a uniformscheme of S. S. instruction in thediocese. Subjects, and the usualnumber of writers and speakers wereannounced for the next convocationto be held in the South Platte earlyin 1886.

The bishop made a good impressionduring his stay here, and with re-

newed acquaintance much good willresult from the ties of pastor andpeople; and the bishop with thehearty of the clergyunder his immediate oversight, canaccomplish much good.

I learn that Mr. C. J. Moore islosing his hogs by hog cholera, thatfatal disease that is killing, hogs insuch large numbers with such start-ling rapidity. Farmers should takeevery precaution against this terribledisease at once, if there is any pre-

caution which could be taken. Somesay to feed hogs that are sick withhogs that havo died of the disease andit will cure them ; others say that itwill not. As I have not bad any ex-

perience, I cannot speak for myself.If any who may read this paragraphknow of any preventive I would beglad to bear of it through the columnsof the Journal.

Last spring, George Hodel put outa hundred apple, a hundred and fiftypear trees and eighteen hundredgrape vines, which promise in timeto become quite a vineyard, for youall remember the old adage, "Talloaks from little acorns grow." whichis a very instructive and truthful one.Mr. Hodel only came to Nebraskaabout a year ago ; he is a very en-

terprising farmer. He has built quitea number of buildings and set out agreat deal of small fruit since hecame, which adds to the general lookand worth of his place. All farmerswith the means should follow hisexample. He also has quite a herdof cattle, an class ofstock for a Nebraska farm.
