LETTER FROM COLORADO.
MIEREANO Colmar, Colorado, Feb. 23,188L
Following the great drought of laa,
spring and summer, we are- having a
very severe winter. Snow began to faL
in October, and since about the first of
November 'the ground has been covered
more than half the tirae. At the same
time the cold has been continuous and
intense. •. For the last four month
there have been only two or three night
when it did not freeze, and nearly ever
week the thermometer has marked
point below zero.. This ia a _eountra .
famous for its mild climate and wher
snow is not expected to lie more than
few days, has rather astounded the in
habitants. I am afraid that the ma
jority of the invalids who came her
last fall for the benefit of their heat
will not send home very flattering re
ports as to the climate and country.
Some of your correspondents in Mani
tam and Dakota write back, "We d
not -feel the cold here like we used to i
Ontario." These parties must be ver
new in the Northwpst. When th
glamor of novelty wens off they wil
find that cold is cold, one place as wel
as another, and that the mercury, i
the long run, is the best and sures
judge of the article. Intense cold alai
is not nearly so severe as cold arid win

one reason why people who go fro
