Thursday was "Ground Hog Day. an
il the old tradition proves true tnl
halent lot of weather may be looked for
The sun was shining the better part Of tin
day aud there is io doubt but that TIN
analchilrk -aw his shadow.
Worknei, are engaged in cutting OF
the rad paling from Middletown t.
Odessa. Ia some places the snow j.
banked To depth of several feet, and We
hicles are compelled to travel through
fields the greater part of the distance.
One Of the finest flock OF thoroughbred
chickens in this section is owned by Mr.
G. P. Cochran, and during these cold
winter days Mr.. Cochran has been get.
ting large quantities of eggs. During the
month of January he sold 1881 eggs from
SO pullets and IL old hens, and many
Of the pullets are too young to lay. Mr..
Cochran has the Rhode Island Reds, and
takes great pride in showing his different
pens to lovers of fine fowls.
In passing the grocery store of Mr.. w.
T. Connellee on Thursday evening our at
tention was called to the beautiful work
OF nature displayed on one of the panes Of
glass in the bulk window. The glass was
solid mass OF ice, and on one of the
panes the trunk and branches of tree
were almost as perfect as if painted by
an artist. The window was indeed
beautiful to look upon, and many passers-
BY paused and admired it greatly.
There is an ordinance, we believe,
which if inforced, would compel property
owners to clear the snow from the front
of their property in certain time after
a snow fall But what good is a town
ordnance unless it is inforced? Most all
OF the property holders in Middletown
comply with the law, but there are few
who ignore the law entirely, and pedes-
trians are compelled to wade through
snow drifts, waist deep, to get to and from
their places OF business.
The worst blizzard for years still fingers
with us. Two SHOWS have fallen since
the first big one of last week and now
this section is in the grip OF the ice
king. The rural folks are snow bouno
and there is little prospect of removing
the embargo. There is considerable suf-
fering among the poor and even the rural
people who are snow bound have COM
menced to fesl the pinch of the frost
king. The appearance of the astron-
omical phenomena known as the "sun
dog last Friday and the day following
made the believers in signs shake their
heads knowingly and prophesy some
terrible weather. There were four of
these reflections that appeared in the
heavens like miniature suns and formed
circle with the sun proper at about |
equal distance from each other. Towards |
the setting OF the sun similar phenomena
were observed near the horizon. To the |
casual observer they appeared like the
sun itself, only reduced in size, and partly |
obscured by clouds. The one observed
about 9.l5 Friday morning was accom-
panied by beautiful rainbow that lasted |
several minutes.

shad Starting Early This Year

The Baltimore Herald says: Despite the
fact that the upper Chesapeake bay and
the Susquehanna river, the favorite
spawning sections for the toothsome shad,
have for weeks been covered with thous-
ands Of acres of heavy ice, the big silvery
scaled fellows have been fighting their
way in the capes and up the bay toward
the shallower fresh waters. For more
than month fine roe shad have been
caught up the bay-a thing almost with
out precedent, as the run is not due to be-
gin until about the middle OF February or
the first of March.

In gushing melodies, or the birds
Whose rapture scars on free, unfettered
wing
If from my life might spring
One soTG untrammeled of the net of

Then miSnt ! praise you as my heart

Nor grieve though song should leave me
dumb through afterdays.
If might breathe your beauty into song.
The singing stars would tarry into fight
To hearken. dreaming that deaths an

Enthroned on earth so long,
Was scattered by the ever sting light.
And earth new winged with singing and

AS when exultant she from cut of chaos

tai cattle last week. $4,000 cattle, in
Guiding 5000 calves. Run today is 1000
head, market strong on COWS and stock
ers and feeders, weak on killing steers.
AS compared with week ago, steers
and cows are selling about the same
calves Is to 25 cents higher. Dressed
beef steers are 10 to Is lower than
week ago, especially on the poorly fin
ished ones, but in spite of this, country
buyers are eager for stockers and feeders
at strong prices. The COW market is all
that could be asked, under present con-
ditions and prices relatively strong, as
compared with steers. Bulk of the
rauge COWS sell between $500 and -. 80
including Gamers Most of the steers
sell at 49, Is to 1910 both for the coun-
try and for slaughter, with quite a
number in the last week at $3.50 to

the supply, however and strong prices
are the rule. Supply today II, 900 head,
largest for some time, and the market
is shade lower. Range stuff still
makes up a large percentage of the re-
ceipts. Colorado lambs, 66lb, today at

and yearlings, fed stuff, at So 20, Wyo-
ming lambs, Cab, at 1918, Utah weth-
ers. 86lb, at $500, Utah ewes, lob, at
1915. All these sales were made today,
but the lamb market was not fully test
ed, choice stuff selling last week at
800 to $3.50. Receipts are almost sure
to be short, and markets strong in

blooms. The highest bloom was IL

the bush was Is feet. 1t was planted
about sixteen years ago. and has re-

Its thrifty growth is attributed chiefly
