exhibit ira scripts of ticket accounts to the Railroad
Commissioners, declaring that they would give that

Oakland Times takes all the starch out OF the bril-

A Letter from the Northwest.


WORTHINGTON, FEB. 10, 1888.
| G. NJ. STONE-DEAR SIR Some
friend of mine has been kind enough
to favor me with regular numbers OF
your paper, for which am very thank
full, as to get II paper from the good old
Green Mountain state is worth almost
as much as Il visit there would be. But
the most amusing thing | have seen in
your valuable paper is an article head
ed "A Blizzard" and | think that the
writer of it has had a great deal more
he ever did in western Billiards.
When he says mo one could live an
hour in that storm" he is describing a
worse storm than we have any record
of in this country. The great storm of
1873 was the worst for many years, if
not the worst that was ever known,
and am acquainted with one man who
survived it for two days and then found
IA house, but he was so badly frozen
that both hands had to he amputated
We are having the coolest winter
here that | ever saw for the month of
January, the thermometer averaging at
zero with IA foot of snowfall and sew
eral hard storms. This month has been
some better for the last three days it
has been warm and foggy with a little

CURED last night. At nine o'clock it
was warm with the wind in the south
east, but to day brings as hard biz
zard as we have had this winter, but
not so cold as some. My barn is about
six rods from the house. but the time
has not been to-day that | could stand
mt the house and see it !; but have been
to it several times to-day, and did not
have to follow a string to prevent get
ting lost.
You may think, by my account of the
weather here, that this would be "A good
place to emigrate from, but this winter
is an exception, and | think that the
average winter here is far preferable to
those in Vermont. 1t will be ten years
in March since left Vermont and came
west, and | have never seen the day
that would wish myself back there to
live; and | think that any young man
there with limited means would never
be sorry if he took Horace Greeley's adj
vice and came west to grow up with
the country. b. F. Y

fight that recently occurred in that
city between eat and hive of bees.
in which the bees got decidedly the
best of it. The cats attention was at
tracted by the bees, and thinking they
were some new kind of game, dabbed
viciOusl V at them as they passed in and
out of the hive. At last one day the
bees got angry and poured out of the
hive by the hundred, and darted for
the fur of tabby. The cat rolled her
self into a ball, and bit, spluttered and
clawed with all her might, but without
effect, as the bees kept singing as dill
igently as ever. After time, she
was taken away and was week re-
covering from the effect of the stings.
She cannot be persuaded to 90 near
the hive any more.
