performances. The troupe is compos-

Mr.. Herman Withauer, of Panora,
Iowa, one of the JOURNALS oldest
subscribers, writes us letter, which
for want of space we are unable TO pub
lish as whole. He states that winter
struck Guthrie county In earnest on
the 2nd of January, when the weather
became very cold, the mercury falling
to 80 degrees below zero. AS the peo-
pie were hardly prepared for such Sc
we're spell, they suffered awfully from
the cold. Since that-time it has kept
on showing almost continually and ey-
erything is snow bound.
MI. G. X. Sober, of Sober's P. O.,
dropped into our sanctum the other
day and surprised us with another spec.
linen of his ingenuity and artistic skill.
1t was a finely mounted head of deer,
which our townsman, Mr.. D. A. Mus.
sci. killed on his late hunt in. Virginia.
Mr.. Sober did the work Of stuffing the
head with such accuracy and neatness
that not a single feature of the deer's
natural look was lost. 1t is now one
of Mr.. Musser's most valuable parlor
ornaments.
