Editor OF THE SEDALIA BAz1o:
DEAR SIR :-Mr. Fowler who was form
erly resIdeal of your county, now resi- =
ing in this ne;shbOrhoOd handed m a copy
of the BAZoO of the date OF Jan. %, en-
tsining the experience Of Hurl in the wilds
of Oregon. The article is 50 defective in
dates and geography, As well as fac's tia,
one acquainted with these things could but
conclude that Hurd was not la this block
sde at all. Our snow storm commenced on
the 5th of December, was renewed on The
thirteenth and continued with little abate-
ment until the tweniy-third. The snow
fall was from three to eight according TO
the locality, not counting drifts. The low
est temperature indicated during the
storm was 20 degrees below zero (Fsheign-
eight the.momeier). This was reached but
once and that degree OF cold was Judi ,ated
but few hours. There was but two cold
days. Almost all through the storm the
thermometer stood st about 20 or II de-
grees below freezing. Mr.. Hurd's state
ment concerning the place Of The blockade
is so ridiculously false that to mention 1t
would seem enough. The block tde is at the

The Richmond Conservation con-
tains nearly two columns of such choice
writing as this, "when the perfumed

eleamirg in the eyes of Eve as she
sprsng perfect being from the velvet
sward, blushing as rosy as the man

and like rivelet rurtured amid the
heart of emerald hills, it has ever
flowed from that pure and unsullied
fount the heart of the mother of
humanity" AS Josiah Aliens wife
would say, it was mighty hard to
sense the thing" BECAUSE in the first
place we were so prOsaic and common
place that we were not aware that
zephyrs rave toes to "tip" on, and in
the second place consider that if Eve
was anything like her descendants, in
those good old fg leaf days, she would
resent as mortal insult the statement
that her lids were iris" or rainbow,
"veined" but this we say with our
foreheads in tie dust, and we hope to
be forgiven, since after ripping along
for another hour and q half over such
choice morsels as "Love is divine
Love has been the great recroman-
Ger of the age" etc., etc. The discov-
cry was made that Mr.. j. Allen

the readers of the Conservation, had

balloon or on the top of mountain or

the common ordinary run of mortals
