BOULDER VALLEY LETTER,

BOULDER VALLEY LETTER.
Now is the winter of discomfort among the
feathered tribe intensely Mortified through
Thanksgiving terrors. Young Chanticleer ,
drops his plumes and stands upon one leg,
whether to rest the leg or the foot, l am I'M
willing to say, and expects every minute to
be his next.
The great United States Father has rec
commended a day for fasting and prayer, or
for revelry. gush and f%easting on yaher legs.
The latter I.presume will be the most prob
able.
1t will be now in order for the minister to
search the scriptures to produce his most
learned and grandest illusions, and the dea-
con to heave up an unusual lengthy prayer,
and the rich man will bend from his high
dignity and sing, and as the contribution
plate passes him, he will chuck in a nickel
for the poor heather. "For it is easier for
& needle to pass through a camel's ear, than
for a poor man to enter Congress-" Selah.
Just now the young ladies hereabouts are
busy talking up a Neck-tie party, but there
are a few old bachelors that have a weak
ness for calico, that are silly enough to dis
approve of the name and think that nuptial
tie would be most appropriate. / can't say
that | admire their judgment. But there
are always some who are ready as we'll as
willing to turn benedict at the first oppor-
tunity, and never discover their. folly until
the cutlery. earthenware and hot drinks
commence to gyrate in fearful proximity
to their craniums, or they see their last dol
lar 90 for a pinchback, while their own toes
hung out to the weather, clad only i'll web
foot socks, or perhaps till she discovers her
: affinity in that other Teller who parts his
hair in the middle, and exquisitely puffs a
clean nine. But it is to be hoped the aides
will have their party, let it be aneck or nup-
tial tie party, it will be vastly appreciated
+ by the fun-loving of Boulder.
| About four inches of snow and prospects
: of more is what ails us now, and scarcely q
: full sack of flour in the valley and the prices
pitching.

ing the Butte road to the mouth of High
Ore gulch, four miles from here, is nearly
