In many of the eastern states the
young ladies have formed "Cooking
Societies." From the manner in
which they are being conducted we
believe they will prove of great val
ue to our young ladies, not only in
the eastern but western states. They
hold their meeting at some friend's
aud spend time in social chat as to
best methods of cooking, etc., and to
each member is assigned the cooking
aud preparing of a certain articlo of
food ; the supper thus prepared is
partaken of, and then comments and
criticisms from the members follow,
and iu. this way the best possible
method of cooking is learned. By
our exchanges we learn that tho
young ladies of Cadiz, Ohio, our
former home, have organized such a
society. We never thought much
about the matter, but never dreamed
that the mothers of the young ladies
of Cadiz had neglected the education
of their daughters in the culinary
department.
Last week one of our colored
brethren (of whom there are not
many iu this county,) got into
trouble. His name is Chas. Tyloan.
Ho had a hearing Thursday night
last before Jii6lice J. E. Tasker of
Platte Ceuter on a charge of stealing
wheat and corn from P. II. Kelley,
and was held to answer for tho
charge at the next term of the dis
trict court. With the same man
were found the articles that have
been missing for the last two weeks
from the residence of C. A. Speicei
Esq. Mr. Speice had befriended
him in several ways, helping him to
s yoke of oxen, then a wagon, and
it is asserted for a fact that the very
first load the negro hauled in his
wagon consisted of plum and peach
butter, preserves, eggs, etc., pur
loined from Mr. Speicc's cellar.
John Huber says that notwithstand
ing all this base ingratitude ou the
part of the negro, to call it by no
worse a uamo, when he aud Speice
were a considerable distance away
from the house, returuiug with the
stolen goods, Mr. S., called upon the
negroe's wife to come and get the
eggs, saying that he wouldn't carry
iheui back again.

addressed to them by parlies in
Leavenworth. Kansas:
Montukai., Canada, Sept. '22, "SO.
Dxai: Sirs: I expect December,
(latter part), January, and March
will give us most snow, December
and January the greatest cold. Feb
ruary looks warm, and snow may
rapidly disappear during that month.
Au early Spring. Ice crop good.
Yours truly, Henry G. Vknnor.
St. Lauvkuk dks Montagues,
Province of Quebec, Oct. 7, 1SS0.1
Dear Sirs: 1 expect tremendous
snow-falls as far to the southward
as Washington, D. C, and westward
beyond Chicago, toward the end of
December and New Year's, and
again iu proximity to the 8th and
J)th of January.
Very wintry weather, with snow,
here this week. Yours truly,
Henry G. Vennor.
St. Louis, Mo., Oct. '21. 18.s0.
Gentlemen: Since the
current year is the commencement
of a period of more than unusual
disturbances, which will not attain
its maximum until the end of 1SS2,
therefore my opinion is that the
coming Winter will be charactri i.ed
by great and sudden changi s in
atmospheric pressure, and, conse
quently, by heavy precipitation
thai is, heavy rains iu the South and
heavy snows iu the North, with gen
erally extreme low temperature.
Yours truly,
John H. Tick.
