A certain individual who shall be name
less here forever more, on account of the
lively interest he takes in agricultural
matters, prolonged his festivities Sunday
night. He went into a saloon on Main
street on that evening, and called for some
oysters. He concluded that while they were
being prepared be would take a nap. This
would have been all right, in fact the very
thing he most needed to do. had he gone to
bed. But hedid'nt. He occupied the table.
To this the landlord entered a very EN-.
phatic protest. He wasn't going to have
anybody with the ''up-the-snoot-ic" snooz'
ing around on his tables. He untertook to
convince him that it was all right by execut-
ing shadow pantomime. but this was a
failure. He tumbled headlong through the
screen. This aroused the landlord SO that
he sent for the police, who took him in
charge. 1t was amuseing to hear him plead
for official mercy. He would give $40 rather
than 70 up. But it was no use. He had to
70. On the promise to go home and behave
himself he was released without seeing the
inside of cell. Yesterday morning, having
some business which took him over into
Missouri, he got a friend to go up and plead
guilty and pay his fine for him. "What do
you intend to plead guilty to-" asked his
friend. Anything that they charge me with, !"
said the man. "Here is the money to pay
the fine"
The friend went up and paid the fine. The
fellow did not want the item put into the
newspapers, because his wife might find it
out. We beg his pardon for mentioning the
matter. but items were so scarce yesterday
that really we could Mt very well help it.

Incidents of the Recent Cold Snap.

We have had little narrative in our 70
session for several days, and now, eince the
rush Of the New Years edition is over, We
will unfold it to the reader, tru.ting, At the
came time, that no Temperance lecturer will
purloin it and palm it of a, original. Dur
ing one of the very cold nights last week,
man got drunk in saloon just south oil
town, and q sober man took tbe
inebriated individual to his home
in East Leavenwor,b, but while
returning lost his way on the ice of the
Missouri river, and wandered about for two
hours calling for help. Aid finally reached
him, but the man Who took the drunkart
home was frozen go badly that he died thre'
days thereafter
The same night, when the mercury va
thirteen degrees below zero, Sweedisl
soldier of the Fifth Infantry, came dow
from the Fort, put quart of whisk!
under his belt, and started bacl
to his quarters. The whisky
took effect on the way, and the soldier lait
down to rest on the snow-covered blue gras
of the Arsenal grounds. He fell aslee]
gently and slept soundly. Just after day
light companion in arms noticed the peace
full slumbsrer, and thinking he might tax
cold, aroused him. The whisky-lovinl
Swede, instead Of thanking his comrade 70

aud its Fleets On Vegetation.
BY +. HAWN.

The month was cold, and in all its essen
tials, wintery. On the 24.h, the mercury OF
the thermometer iell to thirteen degrees be-
low zero at the United States Observatory;
and in other and more exposed situations, II
descended to twenty degrees below-ihe at
moepheric humidity unusually high (ss per
cent? During the time a strong wind pre-.
vailed from the northwest, and the lowest
ranges of the mercury prevailed on elevated
grounds. During nearly a week the mark
ings of the mercury, at night, reached be-
low zero.
Fears are entertained that this excessive
cold has injured the tender fruit buds and
vines. The branches are not sufficiently
thawed out to Judge of the effects, but as the
trees, and vegetation generally, went into the
winter with well matured wood, and capable
Of withs;anding more than The ordinary
vicissitudes, We may look upon the fears as
groundless.
We long since thought that the delaierious
effects of low temperatures on fruit buds,
we're increased or diminished in proportion
to the comparative humidity Of the atmos-
phere. With the great depression of the
mercury, few days since, We had an e1ces-
sive moisture in the air 80 per cent. },
which it might be we'll TO consider in max
ing up results, or comparisons, in the future.
In vain We may speculate on causes of the
abnormal condition in which We sometimes
find our trees and their crops, if We do not
consider all the atmospheric conditions
through which they had passed. The re-
cords of the Signal Service here contain
ample facilities for proper estimate of the
different meteorological phenomena.

downright falsehood and base fabrications,

That part of North Leavenworth lying in
the neighborhood of the Sisters Hospital
we-e surprisedyesterday morning, to witness a
nan running through the streets en- disable,
yelling 1t fearful rate and creating singular
antics. The individual proved to be crazy
man who had been confined in the Sisters
Hospital, but not liking his limited range
of action jumped through the window,
running down Seventh to Usage and thence
to Broadway, and after reaching Tenth was
captured and donned with some clothing and
conveyed to the calaboose, from which, later
in the day, he was taken to the county Jail.
No one knew the individual, and it was i'm
possible to ascertain his name. He was found
. short time ago on the railroad track near
Fort Leavenworth, since which time he has
been in the hospital as stated. There is no
doubt but that the individual has escaped
from some lunatic asylum, where he right
fully belongs.
