Qn Saturday •vening the Hurdle Race was wor. by ISarl Mead. One of the handsomest atid raost unique and original ideas in chromo­ lithograph y is the Columbia Valentine just issued by the Pope Manufacturing Co., of Boston, Mass. The design, which is In twelve colors ami mounted upon a panel, Is a genuine work of art. The picture, from a painting by Copeland. ol Boston, Is artistically divided into three scenic sections: the first, a view of early sunrise, with fine atmospheric effect, represents the wheelman's morn­ ing ride; the centre scene, appropri­ ately framed by the tire of an Expert Bicycle, is a strikingly beautifal view of picturesque country, a lady riding upon a tricycle accompanied by a mounted bicyclist, crossing a rustic bridge in the foregronnd; the last scene Is a wheel by moonlight, the bright rays ot the hub-lights cutting the semi- darkness. Upon the back of the panel the following descriptive poem is tastefully printed ?-- j FEBRUARY 14, 1885. A picture of the early dawn, when as I hasten o'er the lea, : With boon companion of the morn, \ ^ I counsel hope, but think, of thee. pA picture of the laughing noon. When o'er the rustic bridge I ride : And dare interpret friendship's rune. For thou alone art by my side. P /• M A _ WE would call especial attention to the card of Prof, W. J. Cutteridge.

THE weather for the past week has boon simply terrible in this section, the thermometer ranging all the way from aero to 32 degree^ below. The snow has delayed the trains more or loss the past week, and business gener ally h,as been at a standstill. The oldest Inhabitant never saw so severe a win­ ter In thi6 section before.

As early HS 1836, and after, the emi­ grant to this vicinity was of ten brought In contact with the skeleton remains of the wasted buffalo. The large, tliick bones, and au occasional broad skull, with short horns, crumbling at their points by decay, evidenced to the ob server that such animal had been resi­ dent here. And from some cause they had perished, apparently In companies. Upon inquiry of the strolling remuants of the Potawotamie und Menoinonie tribes of Indians, their reply was that buffalo were plenty here until one win­ ter of deep snow and terrific cold starved aud froze them, with many of their ponies, to death. They seuld no* give the date of such deathly ivititer. But government officials garrisoned at Chicago ever assured us of the unpara! leled severities and sufferings of 1831. This date presumptively solves the great mystery. Another disclosure of some interest, relating to the habit of the buffalo, was made by the natives. This was their course of procedure by which to preserve animal warmth in limes of exposure. They, in small number*, or herds, would compass a certain space on the prairie,embracing (roin one quarter of an acre to an acre, or more, iu dimension, and would race around, holding such circles sacred to what we should call sanitary purposes. Those circles were so thoroughly as well as constantly occupied by these animals that the matted path-like traces remained distinct on the prairies during the entire vegetable season of each year, although,surrounded by the various species of herbage on all sides, till displaced by the plow.

A TULLMAX CAR "ALL TORN UP.* It is the unexpected that happens; at leASt se thought the incoming pass­ engers on the sleeper Niobrara, over the Chicago, Milwaukee and St, Paul Railroad, yesterday morning. There was excitement among the ladies aboard, and dire confusinn manifested by the gentlemen. The porter ran ttirough the train in search of a doctor and fortunately encountering one hur­ ried him to the sleeper. His services were urgently needed by Mrs. T. Han­ lon, a lady " journeying from Helena, Montana, to I*ew York. At 6:30 a m. a child was born to the house of Hanlon and upon the arrival of the train at the Union Depot the mother and babe were transferred to a sleeper on the Pennsylvania route, and continued their journey. A telagrain from Ft. Wayne yesterday afternoon conveyed the intelligence that mother and child were a9 well as could be expected.

Hodge and Peter Slack, have been down to New Orleans to take in the World's Exposition and the other s ghts of the southern metropolis. Thev report a pleasant and instructive trip, and bring home with them as souvenirs of the trip, a trio of alligators four months old. While at r New Orleans they stopped with Mrs. J. Tracey, at 245 Baroune Street, from whom they re ceived every attention and kindness, and they recommend any ot their ac qualntances who may visit the Exposi­ tion to make their headquarters at the pleasant home of Mrs. Tracy. There are so many complaints of the extor­ tion; of New Orleans landlords, that it may be of value to some of our readers to know where to go for comfort and reasonable charges. The boys are also very enthusiastic In their praises of the splendid manner In which they were entertained by Mr. John Winter- burn, of Cincinnati, with whom they shopped on their way home. Mr. Winterburn Is a relative of Mrs. Robt. Motley and John and Peter Bill, of this township. We are glad the boys had an interesting time, and wish more of our people, young and old, could also go. We hear of quite a number of Richmond people who propose to start for the south soon. In our last communication, written on Sunday, Feb. 8, we hud bccaslou to mention the snowstorm of the day be­ fore, phenomenal in Its huge flakes, and the stillness and remarkable brightness of the atmosphere. That day, although the snow fell to the depth of 10 or 12 inches and not a breath of air te move it from its place where it fell, the clouds seemed so thin that one almost expected to see the sun burst through at any moment. Then came Sunday morning with a glorious sunrise flood­ ing a snow covered world and frost laden air with splendor. It was one of the most beautiful winter tnornlmrs ever beheld. About noon, or a little after, a strange haze overspread the sky and the air seemed full of frozen moisture. The wind had got around into the northeast, and though the thermometer did not as yet recede much there was an unaccountable chilli­ ness iu the air that went to a man's marrow unless he was remarkably well wrapped. In the the evening the wind rose and shrieked and howled, t te snow again fell In great quantities and we were in :he midst of one of the most remarkable storms of years. The high­ ways were drifted full and the rail­ roads were blockaded Business was suspended alike In the village and In 4. • ....... the great aartt Hke Cb!«ftg >. 1Ht§ "Signal Service" prognostications bat been completely at fault; the worst "conjecture" being light snow. For a week, however, before this remarkable storm every old rheumatic we met was complaining of aches and pains and foretelling It. For a weather bureau, give us half a dosen rheumatics and we ill guarantee to dc$bl£ discouat ibe signal Service on forecasting the weather. We take the trouble to con­ tinue the subject of the storm, or rather two storms, this week, to make the record complete for future refer­ ence to those curious on such things. On Sunday night the thermometer be­ gan to run down until on Friday morn­ ing, Feb. 13, it marked lower by the Cottlng thermometer than ever before known since the late C, G. Cottlng be­ gan to make regular observatlon^dally, over 30 years ago. The register was full 32 below zpto, Farenheit! The coldest morning in over 30 years! The air was stlll'and dry and to one not too long out of doors It did not seem te be so cold as it really was. Some ther­ mometers aiHtpt town and In different neighborhoods about town were re­ ported down to 351 There are plenty of frozen noses,ears,cheeks. Angers and toes about the country. At this writ­ ing, the 15th, the weather has moder­ ated so ts to be more endurable.
