BUTTER MARKET.

The butter market shows very little
animation, and the tendency of prices is
slightly in favor of buyers, though a few
changes can be reported. The sharp edge
has been taken off the Western markets,
and 50 cents is all that the finest makes
of fresh creamery are selling at a jjobbing
way Round lots cannot be disposed of
at over 33 cents. Second grades may be
quoted from % to 80 cents per pound,
and very good article can be bought
within that range. Most Of the summer
made stock sells from Is to 20 cents, and
at this range several lots have changed
hands the past few days. Northern win
ter dairy does not attract attention. A
few fancy lots range from % to % cents,
but for ordinary consignments 20 cents
is all that can be depended upon, and
they must run pretty good to command
that. Owing to the unusually mild
weather the outlook is not very encour-
aging for the bulk of the held butter,
and holders are not disposed to refuse
any reasonable bid. Fresh Western
creamery, although lower in the West is
scarce here, and all the popular brands
are sold before arrival. No regular &C
count of stock has been taken here, but
the supply is not supposed to be any
larger than last year.

from the three stars of the Lieutenant

there, the silver oak sprig of the pay

official personages and a general
crowd. At two o'clock the recep-

LETTER FROM MICHIGAN.

Dir. Editor While many

you the usual greeting of New Years
day: ~ wish you happy New
Year. please allow one toe far away
to speak other than by the means of
the silent pen, the same cordial salu-
tatlon to you and your readers. The

daWns upon us. How appropriate
the prayer: $50 teach us to number
sour days, that we may apply our
hearts unto wisdom"
With as there is but little to re-.
mind one thatswe have reached the
month of January. The weather
seems more like that of April. No
sleighlng, nor have we had any only
few days. If Michigan has not
already become noted for cloudy
weather, it seems to me she will soon
gain that reputation, unless there
comes change. Perhaps you will
allow me to give bit of the his
tory of this part of the state.
Calhoun County, in which Battle
Creek is located, was organized in
1854; July 4th, 1882 opened upon
the first full family settled here, and
in 1884 the first school-house was
built.
We are in the midst OF a group of
counties bearing the names of Jack
son, Calhoun. Van Buren,, Ingham,
Eaton, BURY, Branch, and Berrian

dent of the United States, and of
his cabinet, some over fifty years
since How this section of Michi-
gan was so thoroughly Hickory at
this time, | do not know. More OF
less of your readers will recall the
fact that this cabinet passed into not
a very honorable history.
This county is very fertile, and
well watered, having no less thar
thirty-three beautiful lakes, ter
creeks, and two rivers, Kalamazoo
and Battle Creek. with three incor-
porated cities, viz: Albion, Marshal
and Battle Creek.

SNOW AND COLD IN COL
ORADO.

A storm of unusual violence pre-
vailed in the mountains, Jan. 6. The
blockades on the railroad are the
worst known for years. At the
towns IN Northern Colorado the ther-
mometer varied from 2Oo to so be-
low zero. At Tennessee Pass. above
Leadville, the mercury Indicated
SO below. This intensely cold
weather was accompanied by high
winds blowing from the north. The
zero laden winds blowing east and
striking the warmer atmosphere
caused the heavy snow fall in Kan
sas. The worst phase of the storm
is the necessarily disastrous effect it
will have upon the cattle interests.
1t is thought that the storm will
cause high death rate in Southern
Colorado. Along the Arkansas Val
ley the herds are drifting to the river
and showing remarkable evidences
of exposure and fatigue. In the
mountain valleys, where thousands
of cattle were lately driven from the
overstocked ranges of the plains, the
storm will prove to be excessively
severe. The larger portion of these
valleys are out of the reach of tele-
graphic communication. In the val
legs heard from, especially in West
ern and Northern Colorado, lying
west of the continental divide, the
snow is reported to be unusually
deep and the streams frozen. The
unparalleled cold weather in northern
New Mexico will cause great damage
to the mammoth herds grazing there.
Hundreds of snow shovelers, a dozen
snow plows and all the locomotives
available have left Denver to battle
with the drifts on the railroads.

post-ollices:
"Out of about 500 post.olfices in
Vermont about 300, as B. B. Smalley
figures it, have been given to Demo
Gratis. Fifteen of the % presidential
offices have been changed. If this is
so, the changes have been made in
this state three times as fast as any
where else. In the country at large
only about one-seventh of the post
offices have been changed, while in
Vermont as Smalley says, one-hall

a correspondent of the Boston

which is too much price because of

The question of the admission of
Dakota it is thought will occupy the
Immediate attention of congress. A
bill dividing the territory into North
and South Dakota and admitting the
latter as state, is expected to pass
the senate. On the other hand, the
house will probably pass bill ena-
bling Dakota to hold constitutional
convention at once with view to the
admission of the whole territory as a
state, or one dividing the territory
into East and West Dakota. Should
the latter be done, the bill will be
based on the theory that West Dako-
ia, when it comes to be admitted will
be a democratic state. The demo-
cratic leaders are coming to recog-
nize the bad party policy of oppos-
ing the admission of Dakota, and the
object now is to assent to an admis-
sion which shall give them as much
party advantage as possible.

Mr.. Evarts falls very naturally
into the position of leader in the
senate. He does not stand upon the
footing of a new senator, although
he is now holding the first office in
Washington to which he has been
elected. His service here as attor-
ney-general under Johnson and as
secretary of state under Hayes have
given him an experience in national
politics and in Washington affairs
which entities him to rank with the

SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE MONITOR. ]
Washington, Jan. 4th.

WuSHtftytON. oCtbs fH.
The reception at the white house,
the first New Years reception of the
new administration was successful
and brilliant; although larger crowds
have shaken the presidential hand on
previous occasions. Mr.. Cleveland
lowered the record of handshaking
considerably. In eight minutes he
shook the hands of PA persons or
about 81 q minute. The highest
number previously shaken by pres
ident on New Years day was by
General Grant, when he grasped the
hands of % persons a minute for
thirty minutes.
The weather was as perfect as
that which greeted the Inauguration
of President Cleveland. and the fact
was cited by many as fresh evidence
of his surprising luck.
Soon after ten O'Clock the rush Of
carriages began, conveying diplo-
mats TO the executive Mansion, md
the red coats and brightly polished
instruments of the marine band were
conspicuous here and there as they
came from different directions to re-
port for duty in the vestlbule.
The red, blue, green, and east
parlors were decorated with flowers.
The latter was thrown open to the
sunshine while the others were dark
ened, and lighted with gas. All Off
cial and formal receptions are con-
Quoted by gaslight. The presiden
received his guests in the blue parlol
as usual, and the cabinet ladies re-
ceived with him, standing in line to
his right, while the cabinet officers
stood in the rear of The receiving
party.
Much interest was felt to see The
social leaders make their debut, anC
many varied and amusing remarks
were made on the subject. Some
said the ladies were stiff and ungra.
cious in manner, others thought they
were charmingly suave and genial
but | believe all critics agreed that
in regard to attire they were CONNIE
il fdut, and that they compared fay
orably in this respect with any oil
their predecessors.
The president looked well anC
cheerful and as he did on the fourth
of last March, He wore black
frock suit and black cravat. hut nc
gloves and no flower in his button
hole. The diplomatic c,rps passed
in review before him first, aud theil
long unused court suits left faint
smell of camphor in the parlors.
After the supreme court and other
dignitaries hud greeted Mr.. Cl4ve-
lend, senators and representatives
paid their respects. Conspicuou:
among them were acting vee-presi
dent Sherman, Senator Logan
| Speaker Carlisle with his wife, Messrs
