As there was no one at home during llull day. it is supposed that the liarn whs set ou lire. The barn was a gi>od one.

Spangler, of Shiekley, Fill more Co., Neb., in renewing bis sub scription for the JOURNAL, writes us as follows : Thus far the weather in this section of the west lias been very favor able for all crops* The hot season was of short duration. Excepting wheat and barley, which was considerably damaged by the chintz bug, all the crops are good. Fruit crop is also good but not quite as plenty as in the old eastern states. Fillmore county took lirst premium in fruit at the recent state fair. In the line of improvements this county is progressing very rapidly* Geneva, our county seat, with about 1600 in habitants, Is erecting biick bus iness houses this summer that will rep resent an investment of $150,000. It will also have the trains of a new rail road rustling through within the next thirty days. So vour readers can see that there is any chance for those wish ing to do well and no idle moments for tlifi ambitious and healthy. As re gards health this county can't lie beat, llut very little sickness exists owing to an abundance at pure water and invigorating air. Will say in conclu sion that those who want work and plenty to eat and drink need only come to Nebraska. MII.LHEIM'S RENOVATED TOWN II ALL.— The school board who has the control of the town hall in this place have taken hold of a work that will giye tis a public hall of which we need not be ashamed. Thus far the hall was unfit for any public gatherings. The ceiling which was too low is being torn ont and raised about five feet, while heavy iron rods will be extended from wall to wall to prevent their bulging! thus making the building safer and more substantial. A new stage will be erected at the northern end of the hall with uprights to admit of the fastening of curtains and sceneries. The seats will be repaired and so arranged that there will be three aisles. Chimneys will be built and the old stoves and ug ly stove pipes will be done away with. The hall will lie repapered and repaint ed and everything will be put in a pre sentable and neat shape. The board is pushing the work as rapidly as possible and expect to have the hall ready for business by next week. We think the change of the hall's condition is of sufficient importance to our town people to celebrate the com pletion of the work by a rededication, which might be in the form of a public entertainment consisting of suitable ad dresses music, &c. &. The suggestion is submitted for the consideration of the controlling board. —Fresh oysters at Stover's grocery on Main street. I/ical Correspondence. GREEN URIAH.
