ABERDEEN, Oak, Dec, 22.-Although the
temperature for the past week has been un-
usually low, still our people seem to be the
more active, and 40 degrees below zero only
makes US all frisk around the more lively 70
krep things going. Last week the Demo.
cratic brethren visited our city on their mis-
sion OF organization and preparation for po-
Iitical work. They were very gentlemanly
appearing men and were a credit 10 the party
they represented.
On Thursday evening the /. o. o. F. gave
their second annual ball at the National skat-
ing. The affair was a success save in atten-
dance, which was not as large as hoped for
owing TO the severity Of the weather
The ladies OF the NJ. Z. church also gave
New England supper on Wednesday even
ing. One OF the principal features OF at
traction was very elegant crazy quilt, which
was awarded TO the most popular doctor in
the city. The canvass among the medical
fraternity was live one, and DIR. Fowler
was the successful aspirant, while DIR. Hend-
ricks, another OF the ''singler pensuasing,
was the second best man. The other ineci-
cal brethren row console themselves that they
don't care, as the quilt was too small for a
married man.
On Friday evening the Presbyterian society
gave flower fair and supper. This event
was a very successful one. The artificial
flowers were so skillfully arranged by the
ladies that II would almost take an expert to
detect them from the natural ones.
Many fiattering remarks were made re-
gardiug the supper, aud the large number
who satisfied themselves at the boards in
sured the success of the enterprise from a
financial standpoint.
The little skater from St. Paul (Queen
Mab) was the attraction az the National
Skating rink on Saturday night. She was
greeted by good house, and her feats upon
the treacherUus rollers, considering her prac-
tices, are indeed marvellous. She expects 10
return 10 Aberdeen TO spend Christmas.

On Saturday evening Geo. Nash, the bicy-
ciist, was greeted with en- audience OF about
400 at the city skating pavilion, who watched
with great interest his wonderful exhibition
on the bicycle. Master Nash gave an exhi-
bition that is seldom equaled, and more than
fulfilled the promises of the managers Of the
pavilion. His riding in all positions ira-
aginable, forward and backward. and his
movements on one wheel, were we'll worth
seeing. The management of the paviliop
have secured Master Nash for tonight.
when he will introduce many new features
and difficult movements. No one should
miss the opportunity of seeing this exhibition
by this adroit expert on the bicycle. The
military will furnish the music.
1t is seldom that one has the opportunity Of
hearing such a renowned speaker as John B.

series. He has been secured 70 lecture here
at q great expense to the post, and he should
be greeted with good audience when intro
duced tonight. The other two entertain
ments of this series have not been financial
successes to the post and it is TO be hoped
that this lecture will prove profitable, other
wise the lecture course will be disbanded
and no other dates made. The title Of the
lecture this evening is, peculiar People,"
aud will no doubt be entertaining and instruc-
tive. Reserved seats will be for sale at Tay-
lor's jewelry store and Chapman's book stone.

To the Editor OF the Globe
AS the legislature is soon to convene the
time is opportune 10 state some OF our
grievances TO the end that laws NAV be
framed for their correction. One of the
greatest abuses Of this generation is the CON-
bination Of railroads by which all COM
petition is done away with aud
all the roads practically brought
under single management Some
years since the business men OF this city
were called upon 10 aid in the construction
of a railroad from this city 70 Hudson, as by
it we should gain another route TO Chicago
and the east. The argument was used that
by the construction Of this short line we
should have competing line 10 the east
which would result in cheaper rates for
freight and passengers. Under this belief the
citizens Of ST. Paul subscribed and
the necessary funds were raised-the road
built-and what is the RESULT Have we
cheaper rates, or are the rates the same they
were when we had only one linel Not a
single change has been made, and now. by
pooling arrangement entered into by the
St Paul, Chicago d Milwaukee and the
Omaha road, we are practically at the melcy
Of one line of communication.
All OF our expenditure Of money for re-
duced freight aud fares amounts to nothing.
Now, as these roads are the creatures Of this
state they can be governed by the legislature.
AT ali events the legislature can prohibit the
pooling OF their interests, and thus bring the
roads in competition for business. In this
way the farmer will be able to get his wheat
to market without being taxed so heavily
for its transportation. a law is i'm
peratively called for that viii prr-
vent all roads from. pooling and
such law, will bring all roads in competi-
ton, just in the same way that all other
legitimate business is conducted.
How long would the people endure a pool
Ing OF all mercantile interestsl How long
would they consentto a pooling Of all grocery
men in the citys
Competition is the life Of trade Prohibit
pooling and the fare from this 20 Chicago
viii be reduced TO about two cents
per mile and then the roads win make a yery
handsome profit.
Shall we look for legislation OF this radical
charactera VIII not the members OF the leg
islature be purchased at the cost Of a free
pass for the yearl We shall see. The pto-
pie call for such a law and If they fail TO ge,

until 1870, when Mr.. Rice was compelled bv
the inhrmities of his age 10 give up the active
lie OF farmer, and they resumed their res
idence in the family OF Judge Murdock. of

Der until his death. His health continued
good until December "a, 1879, when he was
stricken down with paralysis, since which
time he has gradually failed until summoned

verify the promises of Him whom he had
implicitly trusted and faithfully served for
more than three score years. lie was a mem

Il PIensnnt Present.

A few days ago the person who attends to
the horse department of the GLOBE received
from the Midway stables a very singular and
pleasant Christmas present. 1t is well known
that last fall Johnston paced, at Chicago,
mile in 2:06H. This is the fastest mile any
horse ever went in, hitched single, either at
the pace or the trot. Mr.. Ben, Woodmansee
conceived the idea Of having ode of the nails
from one of the shoes that Johnston
wore on that occasion, made
into pin for the purpose of presenting the
same to the writer. This he accomplished
and on Christmas day the writer received the
pin. 1t is gold plated and has garnet set
near the head of the nail and altogether con-
stitutes very unique little reminder of the
great feat, for all OF which the superintend-
ent of the Midway stables must receive our
thanks.
