The following letter appeared in last

Since my last letter we have experieno-
ed a southern winter here, an ice storm
followed by a light fall of snow, probably

It was amusing, too. Every person
who could for love or money get a cutter

Every cutter had at least half a dozen

In answer to a 011081i0n as to the pos.
Bible extension of the town site, Mr. llo•
Orae explained that tho property above it

As to the Mese of buildings at present in
existence, he said they were meetly frame
