There was fine fall Of snow Monday night
and Tuesday Morning. Its. depth was per-
haps inches. II is still with Us for the most
part. The roads, however. are liable to be
placed in worse condition than ever, when
the melting time" comes.
Our readers will notice the new advertise
ment OF T.. & A. L. sander, Real Estate and
Loan agents. Both gentlemen are well and
iavorably known here and any words Of praise
from our lips are unnecessary. Ii is only for
US to say that those desiring to borrow money
or employ agents to sell land, cannot do better
than 10 call upon Z. g. A. T. Sander.

launched out again in busy, active harness

A meeting was held at the Office of Wight s.
Carroll last Friday hight, the purpose Of which
was to take initiatory steps towards the organ
zation Of new building and loan association.
John Foster, n. F. Carroll and NJ. d. Samp-
son were appointed committee to draft the
necessary constitution and bylaws. The COM
mittee will undoubtedly agree upon the old
plan of organization, with very few changes.
Those interested In the new association are re-
quested to meet at the Office of Wight & Car
roll tomorrow night, when steps will be taken
to proceed with the organization of the asso-
citation.
There was an article in the Herald last week
which, after the introduction, proceeded in
about this wise: "when Capt. Hanna left
this Office for Hays City he authorized me to
carry on the business for him, which I am
doing" etc. To the article was appended no
signature. Hence, undoubtedly, it will apply
to any one of the seven or eight fellows Who
pretend to edit the Herald. The Herald's ed.
irorial corps is of the composite order of archi-
lecture. Like that British ministry at the
beginning of the present century it is COM
posed of "AlI the talents" All the sour pol
iticians about town who have grudge against
the JOURNAL belong to it. Coward-like they
shoot from behind the bush.

next, February 7th. During most OF the time

most Intimate confidence, hence he is enabled
to give an insight into the character and hab-
its Of the great President which can be OBJ
tanned from no other source. A gentleman
who recently listened to Mr.. Colfax, says that
the very manner In which the lecturer pro-
nounces the name Lincoln IL delightfully."-
thrilling, and the peroration is masterpiece
in oratory. His style is chaste and elegant.
No one in this community can afford to let
pass this opportunity to hear heex-Vice Pres

THE INSANE POOR.

Mrs. Josephine Shaw Lowell. of the State Board of
Charities, yesterday presented communication to
the Board of Apportionmcnt containing some inter-
esting statements the treatment of the insane
and the necessity of increased accommodations for
such patients at the public institutions. Mrs. Lowell
asserts that ten months ago there was excess Of
more than one thousand insane patients under the
care of the city for whom there adequate
provision. Since that time the number had in
creased by 200 and very little had been done during
the year to house them properly 400 would probably
be provided for by the LIST OF January but the rest
would remain crowded together, many of them
placed that they constantly irritated each other
She asks for the following appropriations from the
cty:-$20.0OO. to finish the west wing OF the Insane
Asylum, Wards Island $25,000 to remodel the upper
hoor of the in order to afford single for
violent cases; $4,000 to rebuild the lodge Black
wells Island totally unfit for insane patients any
other human beings: S12500 for two new pavilions
for insane women Harris Island.
The communication further states that "unless
some effective measure Of relief is adopted the city
may be reused by some fearful catastrophe, an cpl
delnic other calamity occurring i'll one of the
ums and directly traceabe to the cruel crowding OF
hundreds of nianacs into buildings quite unit for
them" She also asks that the appropriations for
salaries should be large enough to provide adequate
care and concludes by suggesting that appropri-
ton should be made for the outdoor poor for the
adult blind from the general tax levy. but that in
place of these appropriations they should grant from
the Excise fund $50 900, to be divided between the
Society for Improving the Condition of the Poor and
ted by these societies according to their discretion,
all applicants for city relief being referred to them
for examination and BY this plan Mrs. Lowell
thinks the poor would be better cared for than Mt
present and the general funds of the city relieved to
the amount of 100000.
The paper was laid over for future consideration.
