The heavy frOsts and severe SHOWS Of
the past few months have loaded the
Mississippi with such q weight Of ice
and snow that the break up is certain to
cause great dammsge to shipping at st.
Louis. Already the shifting ice has
caused considerable destruction, some
$4,000 worth OF property having been
literally ground to powder. The loss
would have been infinitely greater had
not prompt measures been taken for
opening channel near the east shore
and 80 relieving the pressure from
above. By next century perhaps st.
Louis will learn wisdom from dear
bought experience and keep her harbor
open by winter patrol Of heavy ice
breaking crafts.

A MOVE FOR SPACE.

For some time past renovations have been
carried on in the building on the corner of
Military plaza, Nos. 4, q, s and TO- and Nos. IL
and 10, Trevino Avenue, formerly occupied by
Mr.. Z. Abrahams. Mr.. Jacob Dullnig is now
the occupant. MIR. Dullnig is a veteran in the
grocery business, having for long time done
business in the two-story house on the north
east corner of Military plaza. Mr.. Dullnig,
owing TO fair and iberafdealinss with his GUS
toners, has been forced by a constant pres
sure of space, to enlarge his stock and seek
for more roomy house. When LIGHT rep
resentative called at the new quarters he
found Mr.. Dullnig and his assistants busily
employed in waiting upon customers. The
renovation has been made so complete that II
is quite surprise to see and admire the ar
engagements Of the new store.
MIR. Dullnig invites all his old friends and
patrons In the city and country, as well as the
public generally, TO call on him and become
convinced that his prices will compare favor
ably with any in the city.
In addition TO a fine and well selected stock
of general staples, he will constantly keep on
hand a full and complete assortment of fancy
goods of all kinds, while his connection with
the surrounding country people and farmers
generally, will enable him TO keep a full and
complete supply of country produce at all
times. The LIGHT bespeaks for Mr.. Dullnig
success in mis- new and enlarged establish
ment.

CYCLONES are of two kinds, viz: The

Mr.. Nye received the warmest SYM

friend connected with the Chicago Times,
who wrote to him Immediately after, he
replied as follows:
Hudson, Wisconsin.
NV Dear -: I've written good many
letters relative to that blasted cyclone OF

incident gets further and further away.

Upon another subject Mr.. Nye has
written as follows: my little daughter

severely, and after had wet it well with
remedy and put my handkerchief on it
she did not even cry. So | tried it again the
other day on the frozen cheek of little
