It is a libel oa th i Missouri to call it
"Old Muddy" at the present time, for
there is not a clearer stream of water in

is tc-d.vy. Will some one explain this
phenomenon? Jt is a fact that the Mis
souii river is the muddiest stream ia the
world except during the winter, when it
is clear as any ether pure water. Per
haps it is becauso the ''bad lands"
through which it passes are frozen dur

TSIi: COAL QlEiiMU."! .
The scarcity of coal is felt in every lo
cality, an J the indications are that it will
continue to be felt until other and better
arrangements are made for tho supply.
Heretofore the region of country along
the line cf the B. & M. Railroad, west
from Ottutawa, has been supplied from
the mines cf that vicinity; and the cause
of the present ccarcityis that the people
are still depending upon these mines.
Why the persons who control them do
not increase the supply whether from
lack of the article or lack of energy we
cannot say; tut of one thing (here is
no mistake, the supply fails fur short of
the demand and something must be
done to remedy it. A letter from Mr. E.
S. Sharp of this city, who has gone to
the Iowa mines, to Mr. Mickelv.ait. says
that he has made arrangements for a few
cars c fcoul, and that he thinks they will
get what they want in a short time. It
is hoped that something may be dene
soon to supply the a: tide in sufficient
quantities to relieve the present demand.
I RO.12 HIP, WK3T.
From partiesjat in from the Republi
can river country, we learn that the re
cent storm was very severe in that re
gion. The snow 7s eighteen inches deep
on a level, along the Republican, and
the cold for the past week has been in
tense. Mr. A. B. Smith, of this city,
who arrived last evening, informs us
that in the vicinity of Kearney and
School Creek several persrns have been
frozen to death, and that many others
escaped death with frozen hands, feet,
etc. From Dorchester west to the end
cf tho track on the B. & M., it is "with
the utmost difficulty that trtins can be
run. The drifts in many places on the
track are from five to seven feet deep,
and fill in as fast as they can be shoveled
out. In ordinary snows the snow plows
with which each locomotive is provided
are sufficient to clear the track, but they
have no effect upon these drifts.
SOCIAI..
It is Eaid, ia the good Looks, that it is
not good for man to be alone, neither is
it good for families or communities to
live exclusive. Mr. Paul Hill, of this
city, believes in the above, consequently
ho set about getting up a social gathering
that would be calculated to "drive dull
care away." lie quietly invited a num
ber of fiicnds to assemble at the resi
dence of John Fitzgerald, Esq., last eve
ning, for the first "surprise" of the
season. At a "reasonable hour " they
commenced " dropping ia," and before
0 o'clock between fifty and seventy-live
persons had assembled. They were
welcomed by Mr. Fitzgerald and his es
timable lady with true hospitality, and
were entertained ia a manner that caused
each ouo to involuntarily vote Mr. Hill
a great public benefactor. After the
company had ail arrived, they were in
vited to the spaciou3 parlors of the
Brooks House, and there invited to make
themselves generally happy, which they
did in a manner that carried one back to
tho days of the long-ago, when we at
tended "apple pearings" in the old
Buckeye State. Joy reigned supreme
with all present, and many a merry
peal of laughter broke forth from men
and women who had long ago seemed
to have fergotten that they were young.
They were rejuvinated, aud a stranger
coming ia would have supposed he had
broken in upon a lot of boys and girbj,
during their school days. It W3s really
amusing to see elderly men and middle
aged darnes re-enacting the scenes of
their childhood. About 10:3'J the party
was invited to a hasti'y prepared supper
of oysters, tea, coffee, etc., after which
they again returned to the parlors,
where they remained in pleasant social
intercourse until the hour cf twelve,
when they all retired, feeling that they
were all younger and happier from hav
ing been there. The evening will long
be remembered as one of the most plca
oant for many years, and Mr. and Mrs.
Fitzgerald and Mr. J I III will long be re
memberad as having been chiefly instru
mental in contributing to the happiness
cf the occasion.

Parents of pupils in the school, and

vited to examine the above reports.

Mr. Bennett, cf Blackhawk count3'
has invented a potato bug harvester.
It goes on wheels with a revolving broom
which brushes off the bugs into a trough
or box beneath.
They tell a good story in Boston of
Nilsson's going to the Episcopal Church
one Sunday forenoon, atid being shown
in Miss C 's pew. The lady, how
ever, did not know Nilsson, and like
other ladies we have seen, when stran
gers are shown in their pews, exhibited
her ill feeling in various ways, and in
tended 'talking to the sexton after ser
vices. When church was over there was
quite an ovation to Nilsson, and Miss
C felt somewhat mortified at having
entertained, not an angel unaware?, but
a Queen of Song.
John Morrissey, lias purchased the
Nathan mansion in New Yoik. It is
reported that he will make it a club
house on the stylo of the Saratoga
palace.
The Detroit Free I'rest conjures up
the following freezing tale:
''There isn't no room for doubt
that the coming winter will be awful
cold. The prophets all say so ; and the
man is insane who disputes the prophets.
They have found the moss growing thick
on the trees, frog3 standing on their
heads, sunflowers pointing toward the
North Pole, grape vines running around
poles instead of up them, atid there are
thousands of other signs to show that
every human being wiil be frozen as stiff
asathip before February."
"Sarah, have any of those mischiev
ous children been playing with the pi
ano while I hav been out of town.
Some of the keyes won't sound at all."
Sarah "Please mam, I don't know
nothing about it leastwise, Master Tom
said th;re was something wrong with it,
which he was sure there was a mouse ia
it. So he got Joe to hold up the cover,
while he put the dorg aud cat into it ;
but instead of catchin' the mouse, muin,
they took to fightin', and d:d make such
a funny noise in among the wires so,
maybe, mum, the iuouse is in there still,
inum."
A Stt? Ftaiiclsco newspaper, f.tr eiif of
the head lines cf its account of the Wis-con-i.i
tires, has the fallowing: "Not
cii-Mtgh v.v-od left in the towns to make
coihns fr the dead."
''Budget, I told you to have my hot
water the first thing in the morning."
"Share, sir," replied Bridget, 'Vlidn't I
bring it up last night an 1 hive it at the
dure, so as to have it ia time !"
Jo.-h Bill'ngs cannot see what women
want any more "rights" for; she beat
tho first man tern into the world cut of
a dead sure thing, and she cau beat the
last one with the sime cards.
Marriage is come to be looked on ns
such a temporary arrangement in Indi
ana that Justices' fees for the ceremony
have been reduced to twenty-five cents
for steady customers.
