Our three district schools all closed
their winter terms on or about the 7th.

Our sleighing has gone. By refer

first tracking snow came December
10th; that the sleighing was good on
the day before Christmas; and that it
lasted until March 18th, 1884. The
sleighs run over 90 days, and for q
continuous period of about so days the
going on runners was very good, with
but little trouble from drifts.

learn that his wife was confined only
four days before, and that the mother
and child were safely moved to g
neighbours on a bed. Most of the

were saved. This is the third house

Quite depth remains in the woods,

bad going. The thaw caused sudden
rise in the river and creek. breaking

few hours on Tuesday afternoon the
river rose as high as it usually does,
and by Wednesday morning it fell as
suddenly. No damage done so far as

The Prairie Farmer, noting the fact
that the cattle diseases now causing ex-
cltement in certain portions of this
country were brought here from En-
gland, demands that the Importation of
foreign live stock be at once stopped,
as matter of common prudence and
as a measure of protection to the cat
tie interests of this country. The
suggestion is wise and timely. If re-
ports be true, not only should the i'm
portation of stock, but Of foreign herd
ers. be stopped. 1t is alleged that the
" foot-and-mouth disease" was COM
municated to the herds in Kansas by
neWly-arrived herders from Scotland.
