There is plenty of snow on the
ground to make first-class sleighing,
and as the weather is delightful for
the winter season, there could not be
better chance for enjoying sleigh
rides. The nights have been especi-
ally beautiful and enjoyable to sleigh
ing parties-plenty of mild light, but
not sufficiently glaring to bring into
prominence the young mans arm that
encircles the fair form on the seat be-
side him. The atmosphere is exhiler-
ating, the sleigh bells jingle joyously,
keeping time with the steps of the
horses; merry peals of laughter ring
unsteady through the pure air, and is
it any wonder that such enchantment
often leads the young folks to that
condition so aptly described by the
poet 1.-TWO souls with but a single
thought; two hearts that beat as one. "

Mr.. SsoviIie Wishdrsws from the

WASHINGTON, April 25.-Mr. O.
Reed, counsel for Guiteau, received .
letter this morning from Mr.. ScOville,
announcing his wi thdrawal from the
case. No reasons are assigned for this
action on his part, but IL Is generally
understood that he has contemplated
taking this step ever since the verdict
was rendered. The constant abuse
from Guiteau and the general misun-
derstanding between Scoville and Reed
AZ to the management OF duiteau's
affairs has lett him no other alternative,
Mr.. ScOville has also addressed a letter
to the judge Of the court In bance no.
tifying them of his withdrawal. Mr..
Reed went into court on Monday
morning and stated that he is the only
legal representative of Guiteau, ami
asked that day be set for thehearing of
the motion for a new trial. He says lie
can be ready by the 10Th of May, and
he will request that all the judges OK.
ceIt Cox be present on that day to hear
his argument. He will submit a.print
ed brief, besides making an oral ar
gumelt. Mr.. Reed says he cannot ask
oJL er counsel to assist him because
there is no money to pay them, aud he
does not feel called upon to use mis- own
funds for that purpose. He has already
devoted IN ore time to this case than
he can really afford, but as he has en-

The PA Ir0n Trade.

The iron trade is anything but brisk
just now. Sales are very light. Large
and small buyers hold back, expecting
weakness. Some blast. furnace COM
panies are accommodating stocks. Cen
tracts are expiring, and only in excep-
tional cases are being renewed, as buy
ers look for decline and sellers for an
advance. This has been the situation
in crude iron for several weeks. Makers
are quietly congratulating themselves
that buyers are on the wrong track, and
are ma sing a mistake in permitting the
season to advance 30 far without pro-
viding for the summer. They expect
buyers to jump in all at once, Theory
which has recent history to support it.
There are enl y five more furnaces In
blast now than q year ago; in all but
sixteen more anthracite furnaces Coal
is high, frsights have stiffened, and
labor in the East is unsettled. Pig iron
imports are larger than usual, but an
advance Of the freights this week will
probably check British exports Of crude
iron.
