The weather for the ■ past two weeks has-been the worit for causing pneumonia that we could possibly liave. Many cases are ! reported and an extraordinary large dumber prove fatal. People should take the best possible care of themselves and -avoid all exposure, especially damp aud cold feet, and on the first symptoms of lung fever, take a hot foot bath and plenty of rjuinine and stay carefully indoors. By these meads many eases may be avoided.

The editor of the^Oakland Enterprise in his last issue says: The trip to the capital of Pike Tuesday by the editor of the Enterprise would liave been a very pleasant one hail it not been for t he rain; however, the inclement weather did not hinder us from taking iu the town and viewing the many beutifnl residences, and also the number of new, costly and elegant brick business houses being finished upon the lots made vacant by the late conflagrations. The business buildings now being erected would be a credit to anv citv, and shows to the traveler that Petersburg has citizens of capita1 who have enterprise and push enough about them in investing it in a way to beautify their town. We a is; glad to note such improvements for our neighboring town, Petersburg.

FROM OUSTER OOUHTT, NEBRASKA An Lsi Brest ng Letter From a Pike, Coitnty Boy Who is Seeking Fori ime in the West. Gxtileord, Neb-, Feb. 19.1884. Ex» Democrat: I have received a great many letters from parties in Pike comity asking about this portion of Nebraska, as to climate, soil, etc. 1 have concluded an answer through the columns of the Democrat would not only answer those Or ho wrote me but a great many other* that would like information. This county (Custer,) in ▼ hich I am located, gee graphically speaking, is situated in the central portion of the State, lying between and iuclndiug ranges seventeen aud twenty-five, west of the sixth principal meridian Nebraska. It is fifty-four miles east and west by forty-eight miles north and soutli, and lias an area of 2,51$ square miles. In regard to the productiveness of its soil it is the best in the State, It lies in the great corn and wheat growing belt that extends from the western part of the State east want across the continent, and for case of cultivation and production is rivaled by none, aud will comSe favorably with any in the world, valley and park it is a rich black iviuu from three to ten -feet in depth and utterly inexhaustible. On the upland the dark vegetable mould

is lrom eighteen to thirty-six inches io depth, underlaidby a clay soil from thirty to two hundred feet deep, forming the best basis for a protective soil in the world. The noil, climate and natural advantages of Cuafer ccr.:.ty are adapted to mixed farming, while the valleys, parks and smooth table lands are most valuable for purely agricultural purposes; The rougher portions of the county are cat up with canons filled with a luxuriant growth of all hinds of grass. To any man of industry and ordinary capacity even with very little capital a fortune is easily made. He has but to settle on the land freely given him by Uncle Sum, and all the live stock he needs is a team and a little hunch of cattle or sheep; all the machinery he needs is a mower and rake to put tip his hay with. He can build a house of Nebraska brick far more comfortable : it not so handsome than many residences in the east. lie can graze his stock almost without care during spring, summer and fall months, and during winter with the hay he can obtain anywhere in the county in abundance, with occasionally a little corn that can be easily gotten from his neighbor in the valley, who is a farmer, to feed when the weather is most severe, he can keep his cattle or sheep in a healthy growing condition at ail limes of the year, and m a very few years of patient waiting the small bunch of cattle he began the struggle with will have grown into a fortune. Meanwhile his neighbors, the farmers, having been blessed with goeil crops, as will be the case if he well and honestly tills the soil, is grinding bis wheat aud selling flour and corn to his neighbor the herdsman ; the flour for himself and assistants and the corn to feed his ponies and fatten his cattlo ready, for the market, thus both have grown rich together. In this very process lies the hidden treasure or wealth of our county, and it is safe to say if the-re-scnirees of Cluster county are developed to their fullest extent in iho manner referred to we will have the foremost county in the Stale. Custer county, until very recently, has been the grazing grounds, of nn abundance of different varieties of game; its broad and fertile valleys ims been the grazing ground of the countless numbers of bufi'aln. its deep and secluded canons and low hills have been no less a paradise for the huge elk sad the more timid white ami black tailed deer. Eeepectfiilly, etc.. S. R. Chappell. V _____, Arbor Day. The second Friday in April has l.eeu set apart as Arbor Day in Indiana; that the day be observed in the various schools of the State by appropriate exercises, and by planting of trees, shrubs, and otherwise ornamenting and improving sekooi grounds. The present condition of the great majority of the school grounds of this county evidence the fiu-t tha't far too little attention has been giveh them— much less than importance demands. Upon these school grounds character is moulded, and here are formed habits and tastes which mark the future citizen. Here not only .intellectual, but also physical, moral and aesthetic culture is given. Attractive surroundings have much to do in this cultivation. ami their influence ii> creating a love for the beautiful and an appreciation of the refined should not be underestimated. The following trees are well suited for use on school grounds, and are found in every locality in the county: Hard maple, soft maple, elm and ash. Other trees may be found desirable in many localities. . The best specimens only should be used. The shape and size of the grounds must be considered in the planting as well as in the selection of suitable varieties.

An energetic amt judicious effort on the part of the school officers will do much toward awakening not only teachers and pupils, but also tlie people, to the importance and necessity of thus beautifying school grounds. The pupi s should he enlisted in the work, ai d pupils, classes or grades should h allowed to plant their own trees. Nothing can be more appropriate th n the planting cf memorial trees ass token of affectionate remembrance o the pupils and teachers who may he -ailed by death from the si-cues ar I associations of the school. Teachers no doubt will work up the interest i s much as they can and arrange pr grams of exercises for that day. A migrant of appropriate exercises a so will be forwarded to each 1 teacher it) the county by the County Superintendent, containing addresses from the Governor of the State and the Stati Superintendent.

Vincennes Commercial: There is a . man living in Daviess 'county, 83 ! years old, who never saw a steamboat, j uever rode on a railroad train, and I has never been out of the county since j he came there when a boy.

The City Couiicif has mi terferred, however, and does not ai- ; low tiie church to be locked on aeI count of the danger of fire, w- ich i would result in a horrible catastrophe j should such a thing occur with the inmates locked in. The church audi- | torium is on the second Jloor, and j fears have been entertained that it ! might give way under its burden of i people who attend .the seVvices. They I have added one hundred accessionsto the church, and the interest still grows. » The Best Remedy. The liver is connected with the stomach, intestines and other organs of tho body through a system of veins, valvck,and duets, by means of which it performs the most important work of cleansing and renovating the blood, separating from it, in this process, a bitter viscid fluid of a greenish icolpr. called bit.:. This fluid, when properly secreted by the liver, serves a useful purpose in aiding the. process of degostion ; but, if allowed, to remain in the blood, it causes jaundice and other disorders for which Wilder's Giver Remedy is a certain cure.
