The weather has not been so very
bad up this way, but away to the south
of us, it has not been so cold for many
weary as was last week. We feel sorry
for our southern friends, but if they
will not come where it is warmer they
will have to suffer.
Mr.. j. w. Murphy having got

tempted TO drive TO Duluth on the
lake They found the fce in the lake
solid until they had got about mile

New Years day in Duluth has
degenerated This year very few la
dies received callers and still small
er number OF gentlemen made New
Years calls, In the good old days of
this city January 1st was the most j0l-
ly, social day in the year. Everyone was
acquainted; everyone either called or
received callers, and the aim was to
have 4 pleasant time no matter at
what expense or at what sacrifice of
personal dignity. But the old days
are gone, to return sometime, we sin
cerely hope-Lake Superior News.
The new year starts out as did
its predecessor a serious dlsas-
ter The Newhall house fire inaueur-
ated 1888, and a wreck on the rail,
near Toronto begins the new. \
/ freight train ran into an express and
twenty passengers were killed while
these are followed later by the burn
ing OF the Convent at Bellville, H.,
last Saturday night in which twenty
seven lives were lost, and the burning
of the Jail at .Je-syyille, H., in which
four prisoners persisted. Indeed 1884
/ seems determined to Guido 1888 in
deeds of violence.
