The grand brockade that put our lit
tie city in an alarming state ofisolation,
was broken Tuesday night. By hard
work the snow plows managed to get
through and opened mp the line from
here to Milwaukee. The Galena train
came in on time-Wednesday noon, the
first time mover a week.
Last Sunday night was pretty cold, il
our recollection deceives US not; and we
had every door Of our domicile closed
tight. but even then felt that it was
awfully cold. What must have been
the misery endured by the unfortunate
gentleman of the north part Of town,
who LETT the north west door of bis
kitchen open all night. we can only
surmise.
The death roll for January was in
deed a great one. II has been a long
time since so many illustrious names
were inscribed upon it in single
month, if there ever was parallel.
Blaine, Brooks, Butler, Hayes, Kenna
and Lamar-these names are all we'll
known by the American people, and all
but one were distinguished actors on
political stage.
The success of the masquerade for
Monday night is now an assured thing.
The Milwaukee costumer will be at the

The heirs of Jesse Wagner deceased,

large patronage it receives, speak in
moro enduring terms of its value as a
hotel, than could possibly be said other

Married:-At the Catholic church, at
10 o'clock Tuesday morning, Miss Anna
Dagenhardt to Mr. William Gems. The
impressive ceremony was performed by
Rev. Kaluza in the presence of a large
audience, the friends and relatives of
the young people. Both of these young
people are well known in this vicinity
and are admired by all for their many
sterling qualities. The groom, Mr.
Gems, is a prosperous young farmer,
and the bride, Miss Dagenhardt, q
young lady of superior qualifications.

of hosts of admiring friends.
The new Columbian one and two
cent stamps show curious difference
in the respective figures of Columbus.
The one cent stamp represents him
as beardless man looking toward
the newly discovered land while the
landing scene gives Columbus with a
full beard. Now it is generally sup
posed that land was discovered in the
night and that at the earliest possible
moment landing was made, probably
before noon the next day. Now by
what necromancy did Columbus grow
full beard in less than a dozen hours,
or has the artist thoughtlessly made the
singular blunder? Look out for a
Columbian hair invigorator.

per costs something. If it is for the
benefit of an individual it should be
paid for. If the grocer were asked TO

ciary does not, and it is one of the
hardest things to be learned by many
