NORTH FORK, January 4.-The most i'm
portant affair of the past waek was the mar
rage of Miss Minnie Frady and Mr.. r. G.
Lewis, which occurred at the house of the
brides parents. The Rev. Haycraft, assisted
by Justice Barlow, ofliciated. Miss Frady is
talented lady, formerly from Bloomfield,
Iowa, and while she has been among us has
made many friends. Mr.. Lewis is one of
our best citizens, and we can bcspeak for
them bright future. The affair created
quite a sensation in our quiet neighborhood,
and in the evening they were serenadcd by
the young folks of the valley, with more
music than we supposed there was in this
section.
Mr.. Hotchkiss, who is ever alive to the in
tcrests of this place, has received a cast-iron
corn mill, and now the people are luxuriat-
lug in jonniecalse and mush he is even max.
ing good Graham -four with it.
There has been some very cold weather
here the last week. The ground is frozen to
about foot deep, and is impeding the work
on the bitches, which will make thriving
times with the farmers in the spring.
Mr.. Drake is clearing off the ground pre-
paratory to the erection of mill, which we
understand will have connected with it sor.
ghum mill and evaporator, so all can raise
cane next season that wish, as it proved to be
the most profitable of any crop raised on the
North Fork.
Mr.. VIM. Rogers killed a mountain lion on.
Friday that measured nine feet. The skin
is now stuffed and ornaments the door yard
Of c. o. Rogers.
A cooperative ditch company is being
formed here for the purpose of making a
ditch from Smiths Fork to the North Fork,
thereby opening up row of farms from one
point to the other. The plan is that the set.
tiers will own and control the ditch entirely.

PAoNIA, January ,4.-lSS4 has rolled in
and brought with it novelty and amusement
for the elite of Paonia. On last Friday even
ing, ere the last rays of the day were emerged
in the darkness of the night we found our
selve on the way to the residence of Mr.. Sam
uel Wade, of this place. On entering the
beautiful parlors we found it occupied by
many ladies and gentlemen who were patient
ly waiting the evenings entertainment to be-
gin. By o'clock their anxiety was abated
by the sound of music and preparations for
the light fantastic" which ended the sur
prise for the night Music was furnished by
the Hightower Bros. string band, second TO
none in the State. When supper was an
nounced the following couples sat down to
the repast: Mr.. and Mrs. Al. Campbell, Mr..

Arthur Stephens and sister Miss Lille, Mr..
Aleck Harrison and Miss Oens, Master Willie
Wade and Miss Lula Cline. Many others
were present, but having no ladies we will
not try to name them.
After supper dancing was resumed and all
was one continual flow Of merriment until the
sun from behind the mountains of crested
snow unfolded her robes over the valley be-
low, when all, after returning thanks for the
kind hospitality of Mr. Wade, left for home,
long to remember the first leap year party
given in Delta county. GEx.

Those Terrible Fsaiiss.
Ottawa, Ont, March 16-It u said the
government hes received an intimation
from Washington to the effect that the
fenian brotherhood have arranged to
blow mp parliament buildinR1, st.
Patrick's day, tomorrow. At any rate,
every precsution possible has been pnt
in force. The gnard ct the buildings
has been doubled, and men patrol tie
entrance with Instructions to Let NO
stranger on any condition enter the place.
At . late hour last evening all old and
reliable messengers we're sent for By the
government and were instructed to 20
on night duty. keeping strict watch, and
permit no one NOT connected With the
house to enter. Both speakers left their
quarters in the building and are staying
in the city. Rumor sent abroad by the
government officials that Speaker Kirk
patrick for the commons left owing to
the illness OF his wife: but no reason 10
assigned for Speaker Miller's departure.
The house presents q deserted appear
ance tonight. Not one member Of the
government, or snpporter. is around, and
only two or three Of the opposition rep.
resentatives who don't know anything
about the matter. Dynamite
is the only subject Of discussion
and the air is filled with rumop of ali
kinds. One is that two suspicious char
acters arrived from Buffalo, who are
watched by the police and another that
two boxes also of suspicious appearance
arrived by the Canadian Pacific railway.
Careful examination has been made of
drains leading below the house, but re.
vealed nothing. A right bower said that
ministers deny getting any intination Of
danger, but must have some reason for
putting in operation the precautions
mentioned. The scare has been sue
cessful in frightening all away from the
building except journalists, who will re-
main, whstever may be the outcome oi
the affair.

Congress is endeavoring to do some.
thing with the Western associated press.
just what the effort isl cannot be dis.
cerned at this distance, but the impres.
sion prevails that it is desirous of de-
claring the organization q monopoly.
VIM. Henry Smith, manager OF the as.
sociated press, has been before q con-
gressional committee and has patiently
related to its members the aims and OBJ.
jects OF the news combination he repre-.
sents. He told them it was simply q
partnership Of newspaper owners who
send the news of their respective locali
ties to common center, where it is re.
vised and put into the shape of mas.
Of news and the whole transmitted tc
each newspaper represented in the com
binatlon. By this cooperative plar
newspapers are enabled to give to the
public information from all parts Of the
world which would not be available nm
der the more expensive plan Of specia
telegrams to each paper. Congress viii
hardly succeed IN convincing anybody
that this is more of monopoly thar
any other partnership for business pur
poses.

will leave the railroad and d. I. Bram-
BILE and Asel Kyss, of Yankton, have

The Northwestern, Omaha and North
ern Pacific railroads have issued specia

sives and classes higher than first class
