weather for the month:
February. Month has but % days
the extreme kold weather that prevails has
puckered up the month. Once in four years
there is big melt, and then the month swells
and has 80 days. This month is looked upon
AZ unpleasant; and it is unpleasant for dig
ging out woodchucks but for sitting in front
Of the fire, and skinning apples, and throwing
the seeds at the gals, it kant be beat

be reported from the committee in substance,
as drafted by Mr.. Paine, with the exception of
the section providing for a tax on foreign in
surance companies. The bill, if thus report
ed and passed, will establish department Of
insurance and compel insurance agents to
obtain license from the Examiner before
doing business. This will protect the people
against bogus agents.

A bill has been presented to the legislature
providing for female suffrage:


The shades of night were falling fast,
AS through an Eastern city passed
A blooming maid In blooner dressed,
With this device upon her crest
III vote
Her brows were kind; beneath her veil
Her eyes blazed like comets tail;
And like martial bugle rung
The tones OF that outlandish tongue
I'll vote
Try not the polls, oh maid, beware
The scheming politicians snare;
twas all in vain the old man cried,
For still that ringing voice replied
IN vote!
Oh stay, the young man cried, and rest
Thy waterfall upon this vest
A tear stole down her painted check,
But still she answered with squeak
IN votei
Beware the bashful company
OF Francis Train and Susan B.
This was old Fogy's warning knell,
A voice replied, You 20 lowell
