The growing power of the suns rays was
demonstrated last Friday, when rivulets ran in
/ the streets and before night wheels had taken
the place of runners. The snow that had
! given US the first good seighing of the winter
was light thistle down when it fell and
made but thin coating on the frozen ground

and the snow remained to await further and

/ FROM SUBSCRIBERS. From a personal letter
from D. Faunce Woodcock under date of Tue
son, Arizona, Feb 18th, we make the following
extracts, which will interest his many friends
and we'll wshers in Belfast and vicinity: 1--WE
came down here last week and expect to stay
until about the first of June. Had fine trip
down, spending several hours at Albuquerque,
N M, and day and night at Ell Paso Texas
While at Ell Paso went across the Rio Grande
| into Old Mexico and visited the city of Juarez,
| which we found very interesting but did not
| see bull fight as they only have them on Sun
day. Left Denver in bad snow storm, but
found the grass green in Ell Paso, and here at
Tucson it is like mid summer. The violets are
especially beautiful just now. We are COM
fortably situated on Olive Road, which gets its
name from the olive trees that line both sides
of the street. They had bad frost here in
January, which killed many of the palms and
pepper trees, so that the city does not look
quite as attrao tive as usual but the climate
now is SO grand that it more than makes up for
anything lost in looks. ~ G. Pettengill
writes from Spokane, Wash: 1--WE take two
daily papers here. but the best of them all is
The Journal. When one is long way off from
his native State, his home paper is a very well
come guest. 1t certainly is a great pleasure to
have the news of Belfast once a week. 1t
seems as though was not SO far away, after

The Journal: at is my Home Friend, and all
ways brings me some good news every week
