LETTER FROM MICHIGAN BLUFF.
MICHIGAN BLUFF. Feb 26th Is,

MICHIGAN BLUFF, Feb 26th 1872
since Christmas it has been almost success
sion OF storms, preventing operations where
plenty OF water existed already for all nesessary
mining purposes, and doing no good as yet to
those who expected a rich harvest from it. The
iaii OF snow has been bountiful, assuring plcn-
uiul supply of water for some time Ii it came
earlier and had the benefit of the frosty spell it
would be better, because it would last longer.
Under the circumstances it is not expected that
rich strikes can be made this early in the hy-
lraulc claims of this vicinity. There are other
mines however, that the bufetngs of the storms
so far failed to interfere with, such as drifting
claims, quartz prospecting and river mining,
which will be noticed in future communication
The disease peculiar to and so prevalent among
children on this divide during the Fall and early
Winter has entirely disappeared, no case being
reported for some time. The greatest mortality
was between the 1st of November and the 18th
of December. The weather between these dates
was delightful, and it is hard to account why so
many young folks We're called so early to give an
account of their varied offences
The Credit Mobilier scandal has permeated this
little burgh, not to be commended but condemned.
In reading the revelations made before Congress.
people look aghast at the enormity of the rotten
ness and rascaty that exists in the high places
of government and ask in wonderment, when
and where will it end? And so we'll they might
after the whitewashing reports of Committees
appointed to investigate the charges of fraud
and bribery. The inference from those reports
IS, with a few honorable exceptions, the whole
thing, from the second highest officer of the ma
ton down to carpet-bagger NJ. c. from either
OF the Carolinas or from Kansas, are tainted
and unclean. Poor Colfax, He is a moral and
political wreck And the worst may be yet to
not exhausted, and after the 4th of March he
may stasger across the missing receiptsl And
then--it is left to conjecture
Washington's birthday was celebrated OF the
preceding evening by a ball in Mrs. Sims hall
for the benefit of the public school. 1t was a
repetition of the old thing, "the youth, beauty
and fashion, - of the divide being in attendance.
Unlike occasions of the kind il early days the
cradle and the grave We're poorly represented,
decided majority ranging from sweet sixteen
mp to forty. 1t was an enjoyable affair. The
ball passed off pleasantly, everybody appeared
to be joyous, had an excellent supper, and the
net receipts for the school must be gratifying to
those who were instrumental in getting it up.
There was a arge crowd from 50 to 100 tickets
being sold.

VI ny endure Wnat Is Curab.e.

"What cant be cured must be endured, )"
and therefore it is the merest stupidity to endure
it. Dyspeptics have certainly right to continue
dyspeptics to the end OF their daysif they choose
but as It is not supposed that any rational being
prefers physical torment to ease and health, the
probability is that if all sufferers from ind ges-
ton were convinced that an absolute, infallible
remedy for their complaint existed, they would
with one accord resort to it, We most emphatl-
cally declare that such remedy does exist, ana
that its name is Hostetter's Stomach Bltters.
The record of its success extends over a periou
of more than twenty years, and 1t is fear.essA

never failed to afford permanent relief IN any dis

not organic, malignant, and incurable. The
testimonials that go to establish this important
fact can be counted by the thousand. Stomach

MINERS, CROPS, WEATHER--We Thought last
week we had bidden the clerk OF Winter weather
good bye for the season, but it seems he is still
ON duty. On Monday evening he sent US
shower of frozen snow almost as big as buckshot

This was followed by a heavy snow, which
reached far into the night when il wound up

inches of snow on the ground Tuesday morning
All this is good for the miners ana farmers of

this supply without a murmur The ground is
So completely filled with water that It would take
an extraordinary dry Spring TO prevent the far

elements of our material interests supplied (the
farmers and miners), everything else must and
