The New Year receptions of 1881 have
fully cqualled in brilliancy any our city

gave II novelty no other New Year with.

joyment. The white house has as usual,
been the scene of the greatest interest.
The marine band, as usual, played in the
large entrance hall during the reception.
The long central corridor was festuoned
with flags and. further decorated with
flowers and potted plants. The parlors

PROBABILITIES For ,A.uAar, 1881.
Vennor's Almanac.


AS will have been seen from the fore
castiof December, I anticipate that New
Years callers will have heavy sleighing
thisye from Montreal to Washington,
D. O., and that q cold snap during the
first quarter OF this month will preserve
it for that period. I expect b1ockades
of snow in the United States about the
7th and 9Th of January and rainy days
during the month will be exceedingly
few.
The second quarter will open with
heavy snow falls and terminate in cold
snap fS
The middle Of the month will bring
snow falls which will terminate in milder
weather towards the end of the third
quarter This thaw, which will be inter-
rupted by brief cold spell, will extend
from about the 18th of the month into
Febuary.. -
The record of this month will show it
will have been severe one, and the gen.
eral condition of the weather will pro-
badly remind us of some ofwhatare real
oldfashioncd winters" ssAt'a .

Should the territory be divided east
and west, the capital will eventually be
located i'll the James river valley, as be-
ing more accessible. The great nortl
and south line Of railway for this terrific
ry will be along the James river, and the
location OF our future state site for cap
ltal buildings, will necessarily be.on this
north and south line at the crossing OF
one OF the east and west thoroughfares
This would afford quick and easy access
from the east. west, north and south. The
territorial capital city is well enough at
Yankton, in the present condition OF
things. 1t will be soon enough to locate
the state capital when we have state
and when we know its boundaries. Some
are OF the opinion that the whole terri.
tory of Dakota should be admitted as
one great state. There is also quite a
large sentiment in favor of an east and
west division on the north of the 46th
parallel of north latitude, while Others
favor 4 division north and south. All
these propositions furnish themes for

Crooked MIlk.

The city chemist rsided the milk men Mon
day. Three arrests we're made .of dealers
for sdulteration Of the lacteal besides several
for failing to register their names and mark
cans as required by the new city ordinance
There is no doubt but That the Watering of
milk is carried on to u great extent, TO say
nothirg of the chalk and other Ingredients
used 10 initiate the genuine, and the only
remedy is for the chemis. TO have oil who
violate the ordinance arrested and for the
mayor to fine them for it. The inspection is
Just and proper and should be thorough, ex-
tending even 10 oil articles Of food or drink.
The milk business is syslematized, the law
providing that every dealer shall register his
name, location of dairy, number of wagon
with the city chemist, and further that every
can shall ba married. with its true contents
The cases will come up this raornng il the
mayors court.
The milkmen have demanded Jury and
employed lawyer to defend them. II is
understood that they will have at the city
hall this mOrniug, several COWS to milk, in
order to prove that tho loctometer, which the
city chomiat us0s in his examinations
is fraud. They propose TO see it
tested in person. Iha laotomotcri is used as
the test in the principal cities, and is gener-
ally accepted BY chemists. 1t makes no diff
ference however, how The Inspection Is made,
so it is thorough and reliable. Tha point to
be arrived at il whether or not these are
certain dealers violating tho ordinance by
adulleraiing their milk. Pure, genuine
milk is dear euoughin price, aud aduteration
of any kind should not BIZ tolerated.

On Tuesday afternoon tho committee of
the board of trade appointed several weeks
ago to raise a subscription for the Chicago,
Texas s. Mexican Central, met the
officers of the company at the Office
of Wellboru s. Leak. The committee
reported the sum of S4S 600 raise in notes,
payable upon the eom plation Of the first fifty
miles. A rasoluti n WAS offered aui adopted
directing the present cusJodiana Of the notes
to deliver them at once to the trustees named
upon their face.
President Hale, for his company, accepted
the amount as full compliance upon the
part Of tho citizens of Dallas to the request
Of tho company, aud said he would Ut once
proceed with the construction # the road.
In conversation to day be said estimates
are beirg prepared as fast AS possible pre-
paratory to letting the contracts. As soon as
these are ready the surveyed sa3Liors would
be advertised and let to the contractors, and
he hoped within the next thirty days the first
fifty miles will be in process of being graded
President Hale says he has commenced
the building of this road in good faith,
that he hes no idea of selling
out or retiring from the field in favor Of any
one, all the idle talk to the CONTRARY not
withstsnding. He left for Chicago last night
will visit New York, and will return in &
few weeks. Representatives are left behind,
empowered TO transact any business in his
absence in connection with the road
