It is natural, as the journal suggests, that, with such a -Committee, a Republican, especially If .•#n old soldier, stands little chance. Republican clubs are being oi- fanlzed In almest every section of the tate, and members are everywhere joining In large numbers. This Is a to ore In the right direction. The presidential campaign will be formal­ ly opened in less than fire months, and much depends upon an early and effi­ cient party organlz it Ion. Now Is the . time to sow the seed for a Republican victory. In this vicinity, as well as all Others, there are scores of young men Who will vote for the first time next November These are the voters to fee reached by club organization. The ianks of the Republican party have "illways held the best young men of the •State and nation. Many a bard-earned Victory has been won for the party by yifbe votes and efforts of young, earnest •nd enthusiastic voters. No time Should be lost in organizing a Repub­ lican club here.

Letter from Dakota. . EDITOK PLIINDSALEB.--I have many times thought of writing you express- fog oar regard for your excellent pa­ per, which we often receive through Mrs. Carrie Combs, of Fort Hill, and read with as much Interest as any of fur eastern papers. .We like It for its loyalties, for Its paunch Republicanism, for Its sympa­ thy for the soldiers in blue, and not leaat If last, for its favorable notice ol Dakota from time to time. Tour pa­ trons ought to be many and apprecia live. Even the local news are inter- fating although it is nearly' thirty jeears since 1 was a resident of Mc- Ifenry, and but a few of the old pa­ trons appear in the advertising col­ umns that I kuow at this time. . Just at Ibis writing the news ot the disasters are coining in from the ef­ fects of the late terriffiostorm. Very •My persons have perished by freez­ ing, while many more are snflerlng from frozen limbs. The number of frozen horses and cattle must be large, too, as the storm came up about the time of watering them. The weather fctout noon was quite mild, the wind south-east. As a consequence many formers had taken advantage of the •iiiness of the weather to get bay an d to water their stock oto. In less thaD ton minutes the wind changed to the norsbwest and came down upon us without warning (as the sky was over cast while the wind was south) with the fierceness of &' cyclone accompa­ nted with a blinding snow and Intense cold. Everything alive stampeded before it. No person or animal could move against it any distance if they had tried. The storm continued una­ bated until after midnight and even in the morning of the next day the air was full of snow although clear over- hood, and bitter cold. Terrible mis­ takes were made by many teaehers by dismissing their schools and attempt­ ing to got to their homes. In meet instances they all perished. The atmosphere was so dense with snow that no object however large could be •eon for a distance of twenty feet, and the wind was nearly a hurricane. It was at Jthe price of one's life if an at­ tempt at rescue was made. Even in ^ |bo streets of Huron it was with great difficulty that th% children got to tfaelr ho nes and that in an exhausted and frightened condition. The whis­ tle of the utaohine shops blew every tea miouteO as a guide, and this whis­ tle Is as sonorous as that of any large lake steamer and can be distinctly hoard for fifteen miles. Only a few were frostbitten sad these bad bee lost for two hours. The telegraph had conveyed the news of the ap- proaohing storm as early as eight #0lock In the morning, but this was aothlng new and as a consequence no jpg*p*rajtIon made for the fearful bllz- aard. All trains everywhere were and the road effectually blocked. Should the railroads east gUa closed we are liable to suffer If,want of fuel. Still we have an kdt^co of straw and can use it by up a little exertion. |o storm Is uprecedented. No one hoxperlenoed the like in this terri­ ft. H. BorgrOBI). .fi.--tw.? .
