Ice Breakers.

The contractor, o. II. Mather, put on
a heavy force and completed the two
ice breakers ordered by the council in
one weeks time. They are timber cribs

like substantial structures They differ
from the plan recommended by the en-,

4 few days ago long lost son of a
family in North Mankato came home,
and like the return of the Prodigal son
that we read about, jubilee of great
rejoicing was held. There was no fatted
calf, because veal was too high, but a
dance and substantial supper took the
place. The father was at first a little
doubtful about the true identity, but
the mother never for a moment doubted,
for there was the same strawberry mark
and other cabalistic figures that time
had not erased, and hence the boy was
fully restored in the affections Of happy
family circle.

experience was at Mountain Lake. a

Considerable difficulty is being ex-

Yesterday was the termination of the
fifth month of winter for iS80-8l, and
by the appearance Of things, we are not
to bid it goodbye yet. Five long,
dreary months of cold weather; how
tedious they have been, even to those
who arc fortunate posscssors Of all the
comforts Of life; but this prolongation
Of winter must necessarily prove more
tedious to hundreds Of those who have
within the last two years made haste to
occupy the large frontier domain of
Uncle Sam, without any of the luxuries,
and with but few necessaries of life.
Only few cases of actual suffering
have reached our ears, yet what tales of
scrimping economy and forebodings for
the future could be told if the facts
were known. But when spring comes
with its warm days and pleasant weather,
many of these disadvantages will be
forgot, and hope, ''pervading, like some
subtle essence from the skies" will
prevail, and float over every obstacle.
