DEAR SIR: To-day is one of those
days when it is much pleasanter to be
within than outside in this country
Since my arrival here there have been
two other such such storms. That is,
the wind storms. Ihave been here for
ovel a month and no rain or snow has
fallen in the valley, although it SHOWS
or rains within sight every day. Last
Wednesday morning at Denver it stood

| Pixies Peak lays directly north of this
place. Early this morning could sec
up there and the different Peaks which
surround it were not covered with
snow, but now they are white. They
look to BE not over ten miles off, but
they are distant 55 miles. have been
out on the plains several times, could
see cattle grazing off eight or ten miles
at first thought them not over two
miles, but it required one hours hard
drive to reach them. The passes are
entirely blocked with snow north of
Sante Christie Range. Several mining
parties are going south OF Sante Fe i'm

Southern Colorado, Mexico, we found

There are large number of Greasers
located along the river banks, living
in dng-outs. They are a curious race.

The New York Sun says Judge
Thurman is the ablest man that has
been in the United States Senate for
twenty-five years. Nearly all the pa
pers and politicians in the party who
have been pitching into and vilifying
the Judge for number of years past,
are beginning to learn that he has all
the qualities of great leader and are
not slow 10 acknowledge the fact.

THE German Savings Bank of Chi.
cago went up the spout on Friday with
deposits amounting to 100000 be-
longing to two thousand two hundred
depositors. This makes the number
of banking institutions that have gone
out of business in that city since Sep
tember, 1873, thirty-nine. 1t would
seem as though even the banks were
finding out that there is slight strin-
gency in the currency market, and
that the depreciation in values conse-
quent upon contraction is impairing
their securities.

Ravenna, Dec. s, 1877.

THECincinnatiTimes don't 60 much
on Gen. Garfield. 1t says:
The next time Mr.. Garfield makes q
speech on the, resumption question. we
hope he will eonfine himself strictly to
his subject. We should like to see
him prove that. under the present
plan, we can resume on gold basis.
Arguments against imitation, or state
ments of the favorable effect of re-
sumption on poor men, are beside the
question. The country wants to know
hat reason he has for believing that
the gold standard can be restored by
January, 1879. Assertions that 1t can
be are Of no more value than assertions
that 1t can't be.
