We have had quite IN epidemic IN
our valley this winter, and ]. has not
yet entirely disappeared. tt com,
mences with : sore throat and high
: fever, which continpe several days;
oSut the cases have alls recovered %
',fisaar with BIT two extsptions. The first
Ia ss..h VAS That Df Charles Scott Wehtz,
son Of George and Emma Vent the
s,other was Mrs. Ellis wife Of Wilson.
,iEl,is, who died January I 1th and was,
buried On the 18th. Mrs. tEnis Was
s'ReIl known ia Boise, Ada and Altdras,
having resided in those coanties pre-
tieas to removing to this place in 1867.
hsfrsgEnis vas a'lady highly respected
by every enc, and Was followed to the
grave y she largest funeral procession

,Sotsnty.a She leaves q husband and
Hour children to mourn her loss.
81 Three marriages have taken place
In the valley this winter. The first.
MT. Nel McDevitt and Miss Clark; The
isccoud Mr.. Dcios Simons and Miss
slI1l; and the third, Mr.. Evcrson and
Miss Perry; and some prospects Of
more before spring. Judging from the
number Of old bach's that have bust
hess mp the valley. But most of the
old boys fail to get above Fort Lcm!,'.
! do not know whether there arc any
Soldiers at the fort that stop the boys,
but for some reason they fail to pass
The line.
= The winter here thus far has been
very pleasant. There are not more
than two inches Of snow here now,
and none up the valley. Stock OF all
kinds is in fine order and doing well
with but one exception. Mr.. o. c.
Colman, who came from Ada county
about eighteen months since with %
large band of brood mares and stallion
Of good stock, has lost between forty
and fifty head from some disease
which broke out among them. The
loss falls quite heavily upon Mr.. Cob
man, No one seems to know what
the disease is. When FIRST taken the
blood Of the animal turns to a watery
yellow matter, and the victim soon
dies. What appears singular ia the
fact that this hand Is the only one af.
fected with the disease. although. o.
number Of other horses have had .
mild, form Of the epizooty, most all Yf|
which have recovered. sn..., je,ll
