TnE last Few days have broughtup agail
the vexed question ss TO the authorship o
Beautiful Snow" without pronouncini
an opinion on the general merit. of tn
controversy, We would state that the onl,
version Of the production in question ",
ever saw, was by your gifted townsmsn
W. q. welch. Having named the author
we need scarcely say that the subject 4
''crysialized by the touch ofgcnius." wher
ever that article has been read, the neec,
snow flakes cannot fall without accommo
dating themselves to it, rythm, and gentl,
heating time to it, cadences.
As 10 our passing equinoctial, the oldest
inhabitant, with all his treasured stores Of
meteorologic memories, stands bewildered
and aghast, and declares with almost FRO.
fame emphasis, he "naver saw the like be.
FORE on course the lambs, calves, pigs,
and peaches, are generally done for now;
and the cheerful gardeners who planted
peas and potatoes two weeks ago, begin to
fear they have "lost the cooking" on these.
The snow shower has served, however, TO
divert our attention from the Bath county
prodigy. We don't care now, whether that
was composed Of beef or mutton, fish, flesh
fowl or fungus, batrachian spawn, the deb
ris Of a railroad disaster, or balloon ex-
plosion, the carnage Of battle in the
moon, or the gravitati, of the fragments
OF the fnny tribes thrown up by Geo. Mex.
in his dynamite piscatorials on Rockcastle
river.
THAT Leap Year party did come of on
Friday evening last. The company waa
large, and the feast a success. The whole
affair was ably matronised by several Of our
most discreet mothers in Israel, and passed
Of very smoothly and satisfactorily. Ma.
ny Of the young ladies, with an spprecia-
ton Of the privileges Of "the year we celc.
brate," claimed their rights, and led their
trembling captives as trophies Of well
fought field. A few we're timid, and left
their expectant Beaux uncalled for. The
gentlemen generally, submitted gracefully
to the decree Of fate. Some, perhaps, found
where they didn't want to be;
mi some didn't fini themselve. at all, and
nobody looked for theml J.B.L L., and ID.

Ii is just as natural as life, for a boy to
throw snow balls at the occupants Of a
passing sleigh. Last Tuesday, one Of these
little shippers was passing up Main street,
containing physician, lawyer, and the
driver, drawn by horse which looked like
he had never seen . bundle Of oats in his
long life. On the sleigh was written with
charcoal-"oil for the Black Hills" The
party, on reaching the foot Of Depot street
were mercilessly pelted with snow, the
horse refused IN go any further in the direc-
ton Of the Black Hills, as the first hill he
came to, was more than he could stand
The urchins continued to peli the liscom-
6ted occupants and their horse, and they
beat retreat to the Livery Stable.

had his house burned during the Lancaster
riot, in August, 1874. The particulars are

need not repeat them now. sellers sued
for 100000 damages, but the jury awarded
him only $500. This sum, II paid, will
be pro-rataed between all Of the defendants,

CAIRO, July II. 1876.
EDITOR BULLETIN Il write to call at
tcntion to the condition of Twentieth
street between Washington avenue and
Poplar street. have been resident of
Cairo since 1854, and in that year built
my property on Twentieth street | have
several times repaired this street at my
own expense, and believe the city should
now do something toward placing it in
such condition as to render it passablr at
all seasons OF the year. This can
be done, if done now, at a
very light expense; but if the
work is delayed until the rainy, wet
weather comes on, it would cost three
times rs much as to do the work now.
In its present condition, in wet weather,
large pools OF water stand on the street.
and it requires weeks for them to dry up.
Stagnant pools of water stand on several
lots fronting on this street, giving ont an
unhealthy and disease-breeding Odor.
The drainage along Twentieth street is
bad, but could be remedied at but slight
cost. When built my house put it to
the grade established by the city, but
since then the grade has been changed
and the sidewalk lowered, leaving the
steps of that portion OF my house in
which do business nearly two feet above
the sidewalk.
New. Mr.. Editor, | call attention to
these matters in the hope that the city
will do what it can 10 afford me, as well
as the other residents on Twentieth street,
some sort OF reliei. lpay a large amount
of taxes yearly, and have done so without
grumblin@, but have received nothing in
return. At certain seasons of the year in
the transaction of my daily routine OF
business | find it difficult TO get 10 and
from my property. The city is making
improvements on other streets of the city,
and why not give Us share of the money
expended in this business on Twentieth
street, and about the court house:
think we have right to expect it, and
ought to have it.
Respectfully, Etc,

as last year, is a fair acreage, and harv-
ested in good condition. When market
ed about one-iifth OF the crop will grade
