throughout this country. They mean to
erect a monument to Gen. Grant in Wash

placed for final rest in Washington. In
reply TO Gen. II. b. Hayes letter suggest
ing that the authorities of the Grand Army

to contribute to the building of

Gen. Burdett says: Il have been
unable to bring my mind into ac-

eye like hawk, and lick on tho name for
all the world like boys cowiick. 1t was
such an animal as women ana children would
make into n family pet. The gentleman pro-

doubt as to its endurance. "Endurancel"

Your weat ther in Iron county seems

winters in which it was colder, We
have rarely had a winter in which the
mercury was SO often below zero. Aft
er our first snow left, we had few
warm days and then some bitter cold
winds, that seemed to cook the wheat,
and now, so far as one can examine, it
is dead There may be some very
sheltered fields that We're not wind
swept, that may produce wheat, but
as a rule it may be counted out. Low
