Fifty Year. AGO.

New Years 1863, was one Of the
coolest days the Oldest inhabitant, or
any other inhabitant, has ever known
in this latitude. 1t was preceded by
IA light fall of snow the day before
that towards night became bowling
blizzard of wind and snow continuing
until after midnight. People going to
their homes from business or pleas
ure that night ran the risk of becom-
ing lost in the binding snow and
drifts. New Years morning revealed
snow drifts piled high in every direc-
ltion, with an atmosphere that re-
semhled Kane's description OF still
cold wave in the arctic regions. No
thermometer record of that day has
been preserved; but it must have been
80 degrees below zero at s O'Clock that
morning. Very few business places
were opened during the forenoon, and
travelling was practically at a stand
still three or four days owing to the
drifts. The few who were compelled
I TO come down town had to fight
their way through the fields, letting
down fences, to avoid the worst of the
drifts. There were no trains on the
Clayton branch of the Wabash for
four days.

Express ofTcers plead for Mercy.

Galesburg Nail: When the parcel
post law was first passed officers of
express companies treated their new
competitor lightly and hooted at the
idea that their business would be
affected. They have since changed
their tune. The enormous profits Of
the express companies have been
diminishing and Uncle Sam is helping
the people. through the medium of the
parcel post, to keep little of the
money In their pockets. The recent
advancement of the limit weight for
parcel post articles from eleven to
twenty pounds was another blow to
the express companies. When the
fifty pound limit goes into effect an
other blow will come Now We see
the express company officers begging
for mercy. They declare that the
parcel post and the new federal rates
imperil their existence They are
pleading that their rates be left large
enough that they can live. The GOV
eminent, it is believed, will treat the
express companies fairly, but they
will have to take their chances with
competition that is brought about by
the parcel post. They will have to
content themselves with reasonable
profits in the future. The end Of I'M
reasonable express charge appears to
be near at hand

should be complete confidence be-

They practice upon their infantile
