OUR aosron EErTEIs

L have been intending for some time to send
a letter TO the FIoNEKR, but yon know how ii
isyourself with q fellow -craftsman On q great
morning daily. a great deal has transnired
here since my last letter. of which the mere
mention would have been Or ofinterest TO your
readers, but / will endeayor to make alneHds
for the past BY giving you inklings Of future
events, etc. 4
Like you Of the great Northwest, we have
had hard winter. often hear queer re-
marks ABOUT the fearful winters in Dakota
and the Northwest. I have been here two
years and was IN Dakota three years. When
it comes to real cold, severe weather, 1t seems
to me that New England can't be far behind
Greenland. Aside from your ''blizards,"
which are inevitabl in a prairie country,
think the winters are more favorable to a
human being than any have experienced here.
The weather on the 18th inst. In Boston was
rain, snow, blow, cold, raw and chilling,
thoroughly mixed, and Of sufficient strength
to penetrate all the dry goods one might pile
on.
This seems to be the season of the year when
excursion trains ripen, and many people
here every week for short vacation leave
in the sunny South.
Since Sullivan and Mitchell have met the
bulk Of conversation in sporting circles here
centers On that event, and this being the home
of John L., his friends naturally feel little
sore over the outcome of his last fight.
The famous coalition legislature Of 1851,
yuho Ct,ynn Erot olo Ind To
United States senate, is to have reunion in
Boston on the 9th of May.
Edwin Bovth and Lawrence Barrett, to-
gether, recently played weeks engagement
here. Most OF the greatest plays hold the
boards for week only, although Dion Bou-
cicault has been producing some of his plays
at the Hollis street theater for month past
As this is st. Patrck's week, and this town is
run by the Patricks and O'Briens there arc
numerous Irish plays on the boards, among
them Joe Murphy's kerry Cow"
The latest amusement here is known as the
ladies' "Poverty" party. One was given the
other evening, 80 cents being the price Of ad-
mission and every attendant required to wear
patch or old clothes.
This seems to be a poor climate for weak
lungs. notice in the weekly mortuary reports
that about 40 per cent of deaths are from con-
sumption and other lung troubles.

rnan is entitled to his patent He made his
declaratory statement April %, 1858, alleging
settlement the week before, and shows thai he
made it. 1t appears that lie was absent dur
ing the most Of the following summer, that he
was on the land from fall until spring, absent
again during the succeeding summer; again
upon the land from fall until the following
spring and not absent six months at any one
time; that he applied the proceeds of his labor
during the two seasons when lie was absent
to the building Of his house and making i'm
provements on his land, now valued at 5000;
that he was poor man and his absence was
for the purpose Of earning the means to i'm
proving his land, and that he devoted all the
fruits Of his earnings with fidelity to that pur-
pose. In the spring of the third year, he
left again and remained absent until the fol-
lowing January, his purpose being to earn
sufficient money to pay the government for his
land. The amount necessary was $500, con-
siderable sum for laborer to save from his
wages during the year in addition to the nee
essary fees and expenses. He appears to have
done 1t, and notwithstanding he was not per-
sonalIy present upon his land during the last
six months preceding the completion of his
entry, the fact cannot deny his right. He
made "a settlement in person. on this land, has
erected dwelling thereon, lie has improved
the land and he has Inhabited 1t in good faith.
When it is considered that this land is situated
many miles from the ordinary highways, re-
mote from settlements generally, that it is very
difficult Of access, and yet that he has persist

the results Of his labor to its Improvement and
purchase, it is difficult to discern case more
worthy Of being found marked by good faith.

A call has been issued by number of North
Dakota Citizens calling upon the people Of
North Dakota to meet in mass convention in
Fargo, Tuesday, March q, for the purpose of
taking such steps as may be thought necessary
to urge the congress Of the United States to
take such prompt and decisive action as may
be necessary to avert the threatened disaster
which the organization of trust monopolies
portend. The convention is to be non partisan,
and wish Is expressed to see the people of
South Dakota and all Western states and terri
tories take similar action. The call is signed
by w. E. Boise, E. D. Wallace, N. P. Rasmus-
son and NJ. A. Wescott from Steele county.

The spontaneous offer Of sympathy and aid
by the people Of various portions of Dakota to
the afflicted people of the East who suffered SO
severely by the great storm which recently
swept over them, carrying death and desola-
ton in Its track. is evidence that the hearts Of
the people are easily touched and their hands
and purses ready and willing to extend ma
terial aid and succor wherever needed, and
further that they bear no malice toward those
who so maliciously traduced Dakota only a
short time since. The elements are no re-
specters of sections or peoples, and natures
most favored localities are not exempt at all
times from vistations OF the storm king in his
wrath. Let us hope, therefore, that the re-
cent storm may admonish the press and people
of the East to be more guarded In their utter
ances concerning the treeless prairle's Of the
Northwest, in regard to which they know 80
little, lest In their arrogance AMI pride they be
again smitten.
