During the Win ier there have been all fO-'H of wrnthrr prognostications some prophying 'a mild winter, other predicting enow and cold In bundanoe. The atmos pherio conditlona, however, for the three or four weeks Just past have been uoh aa to leau to tne conclusion mat not very severe weather for the re mainder of the year wai in store for us, but when daylight dawned upon our beloved oouutry Tuesday morning we found Mother Earth covered with liberal quantity of the "beautiful" (T) now. Snow continued to full all the day la greater or less quantities, and a general wintry appearance confronted us. One of the familiar remarks heard during ths day was "I told you so." The Latest Bvyiedli. A new swindle reported by some of our ex changes la worked by two men. One buys an artiole in a store and pays for it with a marked bill. After he has gone his confederate arrivea and makes a purobase, usually a cigar, and after standing at the counter a lew minutes, asks (or his change. The clerk says ha has not beon paid and the customer inaiste that he hand ed over the counter a bill, naming the denomination of the one pasted by the first mao. lie is sura of it and be remembers that the bill was peculiarly marked. The clerk looks in the money drawer, nude the marked bill, apolo gist to the customer and gives him the change. Fruit Trees Injubed by Frost ..Several prominent orcharding say that the oold snap which earns in the latter part of November has done onsider able injury to fruit trees. The extent of this injury is not suspected by many, and cannot be ascertained until pring. The caone of the trouble is that the cold came on so suddenly, while the sap was still in the trees, and the result will be that many trees which were particularly thrifty and vigorous, snd were still growing when the cold snap came, ana which show no signs of injury to the Inex perienced eye, will be found to be dead or badly Injured when the sap starts in the spring. What with the cold nights late last spring, which played smash with the fruit crop, and the early cold snap last fall, which has damaged young fruit trees, the weather lias done orcbardlsis more damage during 1800 than during a lifetime previous. New Bohool District. Last week a new school distriot was created in the Bachelor Flat settlement, snd numbered 54. The district was furmeJ out of psrts of the Yankton snd IIoul ton districts.

In order to furnish a good bank of sand for the steam shovel to work in. Vinitors are not allowed at the works, and no in formation that is reliable is given out by the men employed there; so the works and all operations, as far as they can be observed, am a constant source ol wonder to all who see them from a distanoe.

The origin of women's special privi leges of "proposing" during leap year is stated to be that in the year 1288 a statute was published by the Scotch parliament ordaining that during the reign of "Her Maiat Blessit Majeslie Margaret" every maiden and lady of high and low estate should have lib erty te speak to the man she liked. If he refused to take her to be his wife the would have the privilege of fining him f 100, or less, according to his es tate, unless he could make it appear that be was betrothed to another woman, in which case be would be free to refuse. After the death of Mar garet the women of Scotland became clamorous for their privileges, and to appease tbem another sot of parlia ment allowed them to propose every fourth J ear. Many merchants are well aware that their customers are their best friends and take pleasure in supplying them with the best goods obtainable.
