A BLIzzARD.--"A BLIZZARD" says a
Dakota man, dis the northwestern name
for gale of Mind filed with snow and
ice particles, as fine as rice powder,
with temperature ten or twenty de-
grees below zero. A genuine blizzard
is so fierce and SO dense that you can
neither face it or distinguish objects
ten feet away from you. In Dakota
and Minnesota during the prevalence
Of the blizzard, farmers only venture
out of their houses with guiding ropes
around their persons to enable them to
find their way back"

The Lyceum.

The regular meeting Of the literary
society on Monday evening brought out a
large attendance of members, and the ex-
ercises were more than usually interest
ing. A thoughtful sketch Of Irving, pre-
pared and read by Miss Sylvia Wright,
was an enjoyable feature Of the program
and was well worthy of the unanimous
praise it received. The question for de-
bate" Should the professions be opened
to women"-brought out very lively and
entertaining discussion between Messrs.
w. F. Kennedy, w. 7. Kane, Rev. Mr..
Lewis and Mrs. Mary L. Cox, in the
affirmative, and Messrs. w. +. Wright,
w. P. Biggs, Harry Petherbridge and J.
P. Dunning in the negative. 1t was de-
cidedly the most interesting debate yet
held before the Irving Lyceum, and
members who were not present missed a
treat. Rev. Mr.. Murray and Misses
Addie Hazard and Sylvia Wright acted
as Judges, and they decided it a drawn
contest. The question may come up
again at some future meeting. At the
close Of the exercises a number of new
names were accepted for membership,
and committee appointed to arrange the
details of an entertainment to take place
in the Town Hall during the season. The
program for Monday evening next en-
braces choice variety of literary efforts
and vocal music.

Killed by a Bulldog.

The horrible death and mutilation OF a
child by a ferocious bulldog occurred
near Wilmington on Saturday. Frank,
the little son of John Fox, a farmer re
siding on the New Castle road, about two
miles from Wilmington, was the victim.
He went to the house of John Doran, a
neighbor, to play with the children there,
with whom he was very intimate. AS he
stepped on the porch huge bulldog,
chained near the door, sprang upon him
and sunk its fangs deep into his throat.
The poor child was unable to make the
least effort to escape. He simply threw
up his hands and uttered cry of fright,
and the next moment the dog was upon
him, forcing him backward with its heavy
weight, and sinking its fangs deep into his
throat. No one was about at the time but
the other children. None of these were
large enough to render the little fellow
any assistance in his puny struggle against
the blood-thirsty animal, and when assis-
tance arrived and the child was picked up
he was found to be dead and horribly mutt
lated. Little Frank was about five years
old and was a remarkably bright and
handsome child, and great favorite with
the whole neighborhood. The dog was
promptly killed.
