Heavy frcsts occurred Monday MORN
ing over the entire State of Wisconsin
and considerable damage was probably
done to vegetation and fruit, although the
chilled and backward condition of almost
everything doubtless saved much of it
from being ruined. Strawberries in many
sections are thought to be almost a total
loss by reason of the recent frosts. Hur-
ley reports a regular blizzard. 1t showed
all Sunday night, and Monday morning
the ground was covered with snow. All
garden stuff must be replanted. Grapes
appear to have suffered most and the crop
viii be somewhat reduced on this account.
Apples and plums were injured in a few
exposed localities. Oats and barley ON
low ground show the effect of the frost.
Corn was generally not sufficiently ad-
vanced to be injured.
Over tEirty-twO years ago Rev. and
Mrs. S. d. Burlngame of Reading,
Mich, resided at Ashton, WIS. They had

Buringame returned home. Their bag
gage was left at the depot and during the
night their trunk was bllrglarized and
forty-two pieces of solid silverware, val
ued at $125, were stolen. No trace of the
stolen property was discovered and it was
given up as lost. When Mr. BurliEgame
returned home he consulted detectives,
but the expense would hardly warrant
search, though the family had suspicious
as to who the guilty party was. Mrs.
Burlingame has received letter from her
old home stating that the silverware had
been dug up at the roots of a tree and at
ubI request NCull NC IOl W dldSu ~ lpCAs
She was not slow in answering the letter,
and few days ago she had the pleasure
of gazing upon her long-lost property. OF
the fortytwo pieces she recovered thirty
seven, the other five being missing. AL
though buried IN the ground all these
years, the ware is well preserved, some OF
it not being furnished in the least.
