r A5YoUNG man by the name of Davis,
living in The stateiof Ohio, near the
town of Dublin, counted his chickens

Psuitor of an eighteen-year-old-maiden
by the name of Cook, to whom he was

Miss Cook, itseems, had prior affec-

information IF her destination and OBJ

lady, found her at Columbus, removed
her from her protector Davis, unbe-

a license, and Miss Cook became Mrs.
sFusOn before Davis obtained an ink

seem to have been fastidious, for he
bestowed his paterndl blessing upon

dissatisfied was Davis, who having is
sued invitations to a large number of

Mr.. Bergh has published a lengthy
letter to showt at,the practice of 'clip-
ping'' horses is not only excessively
Eattepded with fatal results. He cites
several instances where horses have

been clipped. He argues that a thick
coat Of hair is given the animal in win

cold, and that when this covering is
removed the horse is liable to be chilled

that the practice of clipping is cruel,

horse subjected to such treatment.

as to be powerless to resist the current,
hence they were foated directly into

Z Stoux CRY, Iowa. February S.--A.
NJ. Wilcox who las returned from
Plymotff county; Iowa, says that three
h6intsteaders living in that county,
started With a team for the Broken
Kettle for wood. They were overtaken
by the storm on the memorable -Satur-
day morning when two of the men
dug their way into a big snow driftand
remained there while the other man
proceededion his way with the team. =
The men in tho snow drift remained
there day ard q half before they dared
to venture out, but sulfferedno material
injury by their long Imprisonment =
The man who kept on his way, together
with the horses, was found a day or
two since frozen to death near Suttens,
some fifteen miles above this city. As
far az known positively eight persons
were frozen to death during this storm
within a radiohs of fifteen miles OF
here. The loss in stock within the
same limits has been immense, and
will probably reach from 500 to 60t
horses and cattle.
