write you that Spring, blessed balmy Spring,
nad At last come, but can't conscientiously
write any such thing, for here we are in the
midst Of a fierce ard binding snow storm.
HOW easy for human dreams to Danish and
snman hopes to be blighted. Last week
FARMERS looked forward 20 this with high
eopes That they would be able to be blowing
ana otherwise pushing forward the labors of
ne SprlSg, but we are bound to be further
delayed by the weather. Farmers ara in.
aeee getting anxious about getting their
crops into The ground for they well know
The effects on crops when put into the ground
late. few farmers have thought of so wing
some wheat, but most of these have given
up sowing any as it has got so late; but lit
tie wheat will be sown in Salem. A little
blowing was done last week On the bighest
and dryest land and one man venturrd to
SOW small patch to wheat, but as vet very
little has been done in the way Of farming.
The people of Salem have suffered some from
colds and lung complaints for the past week
or two and at one time all three of our
doctors were confined at home by sickness.
Dfs. Paddock and Mcclellan are again at
work among their patients, but DR.. Sauls-
berry has not fully recovered If my informa-
ton is correct. DR.. Mcclellan of your citv

hopeful that she has found place of r. st.
She has suffered for years with paralysis and
been almost helpless. She was patient

MARINE NBWs.-About midnight on Thurs
day night last, during the violent gale, the
schooner Two Charles, Capt. ALL Miller OF
this city: loaded with wood, while endeavor
ing to reach the harbor at Milwaukee, struck
the south pier with great force. breaking a
hole in her and causing her to Gil and capsize
almost Immediately. The vessel lay acros
the entrance of the harbor, heading toward
the south pier. Her deck load foated off
during the night, and was picked up by par.
ties living in the vicinity. She has been
raised and towed in to dock, but it is not
yet known how much she is injured.
The Milwaukee News of last Friday says
awe notice every day or so the arrival and
depart ure of the schooner Eliza, Capt Samuel
Moore. with cargoes OF wood. We learn that
this schooner has made six round trips be.

A little CARE.--During the
last year there has been sent to the
Dead Letter Office nearly three mil
lion letters, $4,000 of these letters
could not be forwarded owing to the
carelessness Of the writer in emitting
to give the State or county 100000
failed to be sent because the writer's
failed to put on stamps, and over
5000 were put in the P. 0. without
any address whatever. In the above
letters named were found over 1922
900 in cash, and drafts, checks, &c.
&C., to the amount Of 100000.
There were 36,026 photographs con-
tanned in the same letters. Of course
nearly all the money and valuables
were returned to the owners, but
much needless delays, many charges
of dishonesty, &c. &C., might have
been saved if the writer's of the let
ters COULD have been a little more
careful, and taken the precaution to
see that their letters were In malta
ole condition, before depositing them
in the Post Office. It is more than
probable that nine-tenths Of the COM
plants Of losses and delays, which
are laid to the Post Office Depart
ment, are in reality due to careless
ness of letter writer's.

On Tuesday last, as Eli Buell's two lit
lie girls and Mary Turner were returning
t. town, on the ice, from the house of F,
r Livermore, near Spoons bridge, Mary
and one Of the other girls broke through.
The remaining girl had the presence Of
mind to stay by her imperilled compAn
IONS, instead Of running away in a fright
az many girls would have done,and finally
rescued them. Mr.. Livermore afterward
treasured the water where the girls broke
through and found it to be ten feet deep.
Recent soundings have developed the
fact thai the deepest water between Mil
waukee and Grand Haven is some 60
miles from that city. There bottom is
found at depth of 344 feet. Passengers
need not lie awake on that account, how
ever, for there is water enough to drown
one almost anywhere on the route.
