 A private letter received from Rev. E. w. Stone contains some items which may be of interest to his many friends here. It was not written for publica- tion, but he will doubtless pardon the printing of a few extracts. Mir Stone and family left here for Richmond, in the coldest storm of the season and he speaks of the trip as tedious: train behind time and cars as cold as barns until Washington was reached. He says further: "A committee from the Immanuel Baptist church met us at the station and made us welcome in the old fashined Virginia style. The church had arranged an installation service for me Sunday afternoon, which which was carried out. The people here have helped us in every possible way to get settled. Some have come to the house and offered their services, and 1 have found something for them to do. One, I fancy, really meets with greater kindness than we have had shown us since coming here. There is no snow, on the ground: it has been raining a good part of the time since we came. Last Friday, when you were having your ice storm. It was warm rain here. To-day we are having anoth- CT rain and I suppose you are having snow

J., several weeks in the employ of the Price & Lee Co.,, were summoned home upon Mrs. Huntley's sudden illness. The family have the sympathy of their friends in their time O. trouble.
 The cold snap will undoubtedly man ufacture ice in sufficiency for the har- vest. It is expected that the big houses with capacity for several thousands of tens of ice and located at the fleming way ponds will receive a large storage of the crystal blocks during this cold spell. Fl =..,..t
