A Good Summer Home.

A writer of Canadian District,
Indian Territory, says that the
ice is piled up fifty feet high
on the Arkansas river sand*bar,
near the Rev. John Sewers
place, and that it will. be plen-
tiful there until next August.
He says, too, that the snow and
ice gather SO thickly on the
heads and necks of chickens at
roost that they lose their equil-
brium often, and topple over
and fall TO the ground as dead,
Moreover, the cattle carry Sc
much snow on their backs that
they look like moving trains OF
white-topped wagons, and that
they frequently frighten at the
sight Of each other and STAN
pede and cut up all sorts of ca
pers.

" When you hear a man sneer-

cause they are not as big, cheap

can safely bet that he does not

generally the papers have done
more for him than he has for
them. The man who cannot

prominent lawyers of the State,
had occasion to make a horse
back journey into a wild dis
trict lying between two great
mountains of the Ozark. range.
One day while the heat was in
tense, he came up to a small
log house surrounded by a fence
of poles. An old fellow with
long yellow whiskers, like the
dead silk on an ear OF corn, saf
on the fence, engaged, it seems
in killing buffalo gnats,
