We have had so far q veny severe col,
winter with a great deal more snow thai
usual. 1t commenced showing in earaes
on the 18th of December and fell to III,
depth of IA inches. The thermometer wa.
las low as "a degrees below zero, intensel,
cold for this climate. The river has beer
plockaded for a month, and no signs Of q
thaW until yesterday and to-day, and
think we may reasonably hope to get sight
OF our wheat fields and pastures in a few
days more. Owing to the severe drouth last
summer and fall, the present cold winter.
the low prices of all farm products, the dis
tracted and disturbed condition of the
finances OF the country, etc., all these causes
and combinations, and thousand and one
others, you can hear nothing butdul times.
hard times, monotonous threadbare, and al
most insufferable, and you can plainly see
the effects depicted in almost every coun-
t%enance. This is gloomy, indeed, but in the
near future we look for better and more
prosperous times. AS we are once more
on a solid foundation, 'specie basis"
the gingle of our "daddies," and us have a
sufficient quantity of gold and silver and
%greenbacks per capita to do the legitimate
business OF the country and reduce the rate
OF interest-and. by the way, a bill is now
before our Legislature to that effect, to re-
duce it to 3 per cent. / feel very hopeful
that all things will work for the best and
come around about right after awhile.
Our State grange passed a series of reso-
luton favoring the reduction of salaries to
officers, both state and county. 1 claim to
be a good granger, but can't agree with our
brothers on that point. I don't think it re-
form or good economy. | believe in hay
ing good hands to do the work and paw
them well for their services. In the long
run we will find this true economy. Speak
OF the grange-are you driving the
pillow share Of thought through the dull
clods OF ignorance working diligently and
patiently taking care of the widows and
orphans and keeping yourself unspotted
from the world ? In short is the grange a
in that country | hope so. Our
grange has hung fire for sometime, appar-
emily a question of life and death, but for a
faithful few Of us I think ours would have
been numbered with the rest that have gone
BY the board, but nSw the symptoms are
favorable. The members, most of
feel encouraged and have zone to
ook with new zeal and energy, and l feel
'erysangnine that we will shortly have a
i've working grange with increased mem
and restored to its former vitality
nd vigor. Politics and other local causes
ave been brought to bear on the grange,
n order to break it down, and in some in
in subordinate oranges partly sue
ceded, but the grange proper is a fixed
nstitution in the land, and has a great work
0 do upon grand and noble principles and
uch as cannot be extinguished.

different mineral sections of our ter ritory.
 Ira Stroud is one or pheniX's most enterprising citizens. He owns quite a large amount of town property, all of which he is putting in city-like shape. His latest addition in the property line is the building occu- pied by the HERALD. With improve ments already made and to come, our quarters will soon be as comfortable as any in town.
 The HERALD job office is now in running order, and we are prepared to execute all kinds of work in that line and in q manner that will not suffer by comparison with the work turned out of San Francisco offices. Our friends are invited to call at this office and inspect the work already turned out. Our prices are very reasonable.
 As the railroad advances the desire of the old residenters to visit the larger cities, and sec more of life than can be seen in PheniX, increases. The latest in this line is J. D. MonihOn, who desires 10 go and see the old folks at home. Jim has been in the country many years, having come out with the California volunteers. Pre- vious 10 his departure he wishes 10 dispose of his livery stable busincsf, and has an advertisement in this issue to that effect.
 John Adams, from Touto Basin, was in PheniX during the plst week purchasing supplies. Among otheI things he bought 100 fruit trees of various kinds, which he took out with him. Touto Basin is east of Phenix. and is the stock raisers' para disc. It is rapidly filling up with a desirable class of people, mostly from California. There still remains q large quantity of excellent farming land that is abundantly supplied W ith water, but tho main boast of tl,e sec ton is the superior inducements offered to the stock raiser, lhe grazing lands stretching out for miles and miles. Bordering the basin on all sides have been found many valuable mining properties. About twelve miles north of Mrs. Adams place is q mining district that the owners think sufficiently developed to justify them in erecting small stamp mill, and are now making the proper sur veys with that object in view.

SAN FRANCISCO Y.W.O-A A.

The San Francisco Bulletin furnishes
statistics Of the work done during the
past year by the Young Womeu's Chris

stitute that of many OF the Young Mems

is the report Of the Secretary, Mrs.
Fisher Ames:

ONE MANS DOMINATION.

One year ago on the 18th, Mary
McGlew, a dining-room girl at the
Spencer House, indianapolis, was killed
by the clerk, Louis Guetig, but twenty
two years Of age. She had been engaged
to him, but subsequently refused to
eonsummate the marriage on account of
his continued drunkenness. On the
night mentioned, he called her from the
dining-room into the hall and fired at
her, the shot taking effect in her thigh.
She fell on her knees and begged pite-
ously for her life. Guetig fired three
more shots, as he expressed it, 'just to
see the - squirm." One shot proved
fatal. Guetig has had two trials, aud
was hung just one year after the death
Of his victim.
What a story this tells OF mans dom
ination. \ young man, barely "of
age" shoots woman down because she
exercises her privilege Of refusing to
marry an inveterate drunkard. Out
ragged law is justly indignant, and the
slayer dies an ignominious death.
Guetig was victim to the same idea
that obtains among the larger portion
Of men concerning women-he killed
the woman because he thought be, be-
ing man, had a right to dictate TO her
and compel obedience; and he was hung
because he enforced to the last extreme
an unwritten law made by men. There
was no sentimentality connected with
this case. II a man "cannot iveu
without a woman, sound reasoning
would dictate that he should kill him
sell, and so get out Of the world a person
so weak as not to be able to comprehend
that there are just as good people in the
world as ever existed. II Guetig had
been hopelessly wrapped up in his vic
tim, he could readily have realized that
numbering her would place her forever
beyond his hope even. He shot her to
show her that he was superior to her;
the law hung him TO show him that it
was above him. One idea is as silly as
the other. His execution is contrary to
Christian ideas. He should not be
hung, but should be restrained by prison
bars from enforcing his unchristian idea
that woman is inferior and subordinate
to man; and in such cases as this there
should be no pardoning power to relieve
him of the restraint. Executed men
are Of 20 service, and their punishment
is light compared TO Imprisonment for
life at some kind Of useful employment.
