now residing in Yankton, will be pleased
to learn that she has fully regaincd her
health, and is now well and strong, a
pleasing fact communicated 10 the

days ago. Her letter expresses a desire
to be remembered to her Custer friends,
and the ardent hope that the Gem OF

porous beyond all past precedent by
reason of the newly discovered gold
deposits in its vicinity. She reports
Prof. Lake, her husband, as reaping
abundant success in the musical field,

The heavy fall Of snow on the lime.
stone belt has rendered prospecting ex.
tremely difficult, and, as a consequence,
but little Roadway has been made be-
yond the stalking Of countless claims,
the value Of which TO II very large
extent remains TO be demonstrated.
The effect Of the late forestry proclama-
tion Of President Cleveland has been to
set the prospectors thinking. They
have been celebrating over the qles,
ton as to their legal right TO locate
claims since the PRONUNCIATION of the
proclamation, q question which has not
yet been fully determined, but the
opinion appears to largely obtain that
their rights in this direction will not be
interferred with.

about 'hirty.fi five or forty guests assem-
bled at the residence Of Mr.. & Mrs. S. y
Fitch, Saturday evening, February 9th,
to commemorate the Nintieth anniversary
Of the birth Of Henry Wadsworth Long
fellow. a program, bearing a fine en-.
craving of the poet was furnished each
guest on entering, together with Il num-
bered slip which required a Longfellow
quotation from the recipient, to be
delivered after the program should be
completed, and in the der of the
numbering.
The rendering of the program selec-
tons. which were confined entirely to
the writings Of Longfellow, and some
descriptive articles on the same, written
for the occasion, showed the most per-
feet sympathy with the thought pen
poses Of the poet. The whole evening
was one delightful intellectual feast, and
each guest was necessarily brought
nearer TO this earnest and lovingly
practical poet, and felt the truth Of the
words of James Russell Lowell-"He
shall not go, although his presence may,
and the next age in praise shall double
this"

Companion In my sorrow:
You help TO drive away the thoughts
OF what's TO com to morrOw.
With yon alone ! do converse,
And tell my secret troubles:
OF hopes that have been burSted,
just like so many bubbles.
And when ] reach the end,
And tread the unknown way;
We Journey on together,
Myself and Pipe of Clay.
Bon CARR.
