He reports plenty of snow there and the

Extracts from some letters recently receiv
ed by Wm. Coleman :

Wolsey , Dakota , Jan. 30,1887.
It has been 43 degrees below zero here , and
not more than half a dozen days in the past
eight weeks , tnat it has thawed any. It is too
cold here for me. When I think of the frost
in the ground here , to the depth of four feet ,
and the ice in the river two feet thick , it
seems incredible that it is so warm down
there. X.
