Jn& meat markets of The Dalles' untiH further notice, will close at 7 o'clock The No. 2 passenger this morning was here several hours, waiting for the ro tary snow plow. Conductor Coman tell us there was only four or five inches of snow at Pen dleton when he left last night about 9 o'clock. Tho meeting of the young peoples' whist club, which should have taken place at Fraternity hall tonight, has been postponed until next Thursday A lock of hair fastened to a piece of cardboard, evidently valued by someone was found in the Snipes-Kinersly drug store recently. The owner can. get the same by calling there for it The man with the broken snow shovel is the most sorrowful or the most happy looking individual in town, the looks depending largely on the man's tem perament and bis desire for work. Several cases have occurred today wherein persons have "come off the roof" without an invitation. We saw one case of this kind and when the man who "came off" struck the ground he was 4 fairly in it and out of sight. After all it is quite as well on such oc- casions as the present that the author of "Beautiful Snow" is unknown. For the ultimate peace of his misguided soul it is to be hoped said author or authoress will forever remain a mystery. j l The east hound passenger came in this morning about 6 o'clock behind four engines, losing nearly seven hours in the run from Bonneville, fifty miles.; The west bound with two engines arrived in at 9 o'clock, only five hours late be Regulator arrived this morning, having laid at Memaloose island all night. She broke her rudder stock which caused the delay. Quite a num ber of passengers came up on her, and she brought quite a lot of freight, among which were several tons of sturgeon. In spite of the storm last night, the members of the Union Dancing Club decided to give their usual party, and sleighs were accordingly sent for the adies and most of the gentlemen, j Quite a number at length gathered, and the usual pleasant evening was spent. The Lake County Examiner gives a graphic account of a rabbit drive in that section recently. A tight board corral was made and everybody turned out to enjoy the sport. The first day 1,700 rabbits were killed and the next day 800 more were gathered in. They had gotten so numerous as to become a per fect nuisance, but this ought to thin them out. Telegrams from Portland state that it is raining there today, and as far east as Troutdale. The snowfall at the Locks is not nearly so heavy as here. We seem to be in the very center of the storm, the snow being much deeper here than on either side of us. At Walla Walla this morning there were only ten inches, and about the same at Pendleton. The in- ' -njications now are that we shall have there ain, which will make a decidedly in teresting mess of our three feet of the beautiful. That "sound of revelry by night," last night was caused by the shriekful squawk of the fair Dalles maiden as her escort pick-a-backed her through the snow from the sidewalk to the sleigh which carried her to the dancing party. 160, pounds of Dalles maiden on the shoulders of 120 pounds of Dalles youth was what made the storm king get on his ear and send down more of the fleecy. Some of the girls were ."up in arms" against the proceedings. The judges selected to award the prizes at the Redmen's masquerade New Year's eve were Mrs. Hilton, Mrs. Phillips, and Messrs. T. A. Ward, L- E lrowe and 1. J. JNornaan. .frizes were awarded as follows : Best sustained gentleman character, Julius Ullrich, fine shaving set, best sustained lady character, Mrs Geo. Adams, fancy fruit stand, best comical character gentleman Arthur Stubling, fancy carving set most comical lady character, Miss Johnston, a manicure set ; best Indian character gentleman, Ben Ullrich, a blanket, and lady of sam6 tribe, Claude McCoy, another blanket. Two Trne Snow Stories. A New Tear's Sentiment. There is some snow this morning, but the snow is not so plentiful as the stories concerning other heavy snowfalls. We have heard some pretty tough ones, too tough to hear printing, but some of the milder ones might not break the type. One narrator told a gentle one about driving three thousand head of sheep onto the head of the John Day. A heavy snow came on, that fell so thick and fast that the eheep were soon cov ered to the depth o twelve feet. A sleet came on top of this moistening the snow, and this being followed by a cold snap the crust froze solid. The sheep began to move around under this crust, the warmth of their bodies melting holes through the crust in places so that they had plenty of air. The grass started, be irfg protected from the cold, and when spring, came and the snow began to melt the owner who thought he had lost his whole band, happening by that way, heard the old bell-wether and on pros pecting was delighted to discover the whole flock alive and in good condition for mutton. Another small yarn was told on one Abe Ritchie, an old mountaineer of Cal ifornia, who got caught in a terrible storm above Woodford's on the head of the Carson river. Abe took refuge under a big pine tree, and the snow fell an inch a minute for eleven days. " It struck us as being remarkable, that a man could just hit the even figure of a quarter of-a-mile of snow without batting an eye, and so we left without hearing the end of that varn. mo Henry Watterson was the lion of the New England dinner in New York Sat urday night. After speaking of the ap pearance before the society several years ago of Henry W. Grady, he said : "I appeal from the men in silken hose, who danced to music made by slaves and called it freedom from the men in bell-crowned hats, who led Hester Prynne to her shames and called it re ligion to that Americanism which reaches forth its arms to smite wrong with reason and truth, secure in the power of both. I appeal from the pa triarchs of New England to the poets of New England ; from Endicott to Lowell ; from Winthrop to Longfellow ; from Norton to Holmes ; and I appeal in the name and by the rights of that common citizenship of . that common origin back both of the Puritan and the Cava lier to which all of us owe our being. Let the dead past, consecrated by the blood of its martyrs not by its savage hatred darkened alike by kingcraft and priestcraft let the dead Dast bury its dead. Let the present and the future ring with the song of the singers. Blessed be the lessons they teach, the laws thev make. Blessed be the eye to see, the light to reveal. Blessed be Tol erance, sitting ever on tne rignt nana oi God to guide the way with loving word, as blessed be all that brings us nearer the goal of true patriotism, distrust of watchwords and labels, shams and heroes, belief in our country and our selves." stand the body will be taken to Portland on No. 1 this afternoon. A. New Ore Schute. The White Swan is certainly the valu able gold property that its friends have claimed for it. On Friday evening last a rich and new ore vein was struck west in the 150 foot level and from a vein of three or four inches it has increased in width until at the present time it is about four feet wide, four inches of it showing free gold to the eye. This find is of greatest im portance and today the White Swan is worth five times the money that it was when Mr. Tarbell took control of the property only two months ago. The latest development may change the aspect of sale negotiations that have been pending for some time, but to what extent remains to be seen. An Adventure With a Cow.

The name is very familiar, and the cow possesses that peculiar fac ulty of becoming too familar. A cow ! ! The pronunciation is very tame, and so is the co.w. It is with feelings of uneasi ness and apprehension that I write this awe-inspiring name. I feel a quivering sensation wbene'er 1 see, or near, or tell of this dark queen of disquietude, My landlord- being in a state of whenceneBS, it was my duty to milk the cow, thus alleviating the responsibili ties of the careworn matron. 'Twas with a light and buoyant heart that I went out into the pasture on that event ful evening for Old Brindle, proud Old Brindle! -Well I remember the majes tic toss of her queenly head as she gazed upon my manly bosom. Nothing lotto she hastened homward. After driving her into the barn, tnrew tne rouk bucket upon my arm and marched bold I v to her Bide. Stand ! and she stood ; Hist ! and she histed, and I found myself in a pile of old har ness in the rear of the barn, a collar around my neck, the lines wrapped ee curely around my feet knd a bridle bit in my mouth. Everything betokened a disturbance of no quiet nature. I must confess that I felt extremely cowed. I let the calt milk that cow and I re paired to the house to bathe my weary joints with arnica.. I'm not afraid of a cow at all, but the milk does not pay for the loss of equilibrium. A Teacher, The Grave Was Opened. Telephone Tour Orders For Cord Wood.

We have heard a story that Beems to bear the evidences of truth about it, to the effect that a grave in Sunset ceme tery had been opened by parties evt dently intending to rob it. It seems that some time ago, the body of a little grandchild of S. B. Adams was removed from some other graveyard to the Sun set cemetery. At the time it was noticed that the coffin seemed very heavy and it was suggested that the body was petri fied. A few days ago Mr. Frisco in formed Mr. Adanaa. that, someone had been digging into the grave. Mr. Adams accompanied by 'Mr. Barnett, went out to tbe cemetery, and an investigation disclosed the fact that the dirt had been removed from the grave and the coffin opened, although all had been carefully replaced. It is supposed the story of the petrification caused the work to be done, and on this being found incorrect the ghouls tried to conceal their work. ' , ' Died at His Post. ' MABRIED.
