[ BIJAH, A REPORTFJJ, AND AN OLDMAN,
BOTH TELL A STORY.
I prom tin 1 Detroit Free Tress.]
I Vs the reiorton sat- around tbo
■ .stove waiting, UijaU spoke up and
■ said :
■‘There’s half an hour to spare, ami
■ I move wo all toll a story."
i it was agreed, and bltingoff anotn
■er piece of liquorice, he began:
B “Talk about eold weather! and oil
■ought to pass one winter in Arizona.
Pin the winter of IS7O, which the na
, tnes call an open winter, the weather
' yvas so eold that coffee froze on the
stove while we wore getting bivuk
fnst. Wo had to take a maul and
, .wedge to split butter open, and potu
■foe- put into a red-hot oven to bake
would freeze in less than live min
llti'S."
WT“riiitn’t all the live stock in the
Country freeze to death? queried one
tof tho circle.
| “Well, some did, but we saved a
good many horses and cattle. It was
a great deal of trouble. We had to
Kaek each animal in a box, cover him
with cotton batting and fur, mnl then
build fires all around the boxes.
Even then some of the horses were
go frostbitten that their hoofs drop
ped off, and the poor animals had to
be taken up on sheets and taken
down into the valleys when .spring
came. Some ol you may think I’m
lying, but tin- man who says so wants
to come behind the tannery and say
so- -yes, he does. I’ve lived in this
world too long to have any young
men cast any slurs on my state
ments.”
There was an old man there from
Hi, Clair, a stranger in the city, who
hail heard of the doings of the Cen
tral Station Court, and had eome in
.to see for himself. He had listened
very attentively to the other two sto
ries, and ufter taking a long breath
In' commenced:
“Gentlemen, you may observe that
lam an old man, My looks areas
white as the driven show, my limbs
are weak, and it is evident to any of
you that T have not long to stay in
this world. I speak of this he.-e.use
it doesn’t seem likely that I, so near
the grave, would tell a lie lor the
sake of telling a story. No, no; I
shall tell nothing t lit the solemn
truth, i was going to speak about
snow. Tile winter 1 lived in Califor
nia was a poor winter for snow. There
was great complaint that the crops
Would be frozen out, and many far
mers were downhearted. T was over
in Los Angelos county one day hunt
ing, and while going across a plain I
‘ cam“ upon a circular hole in the snow
with a ladder leading down. Filled
with curiosity, I descended. 1 went
down 267 feet by the tape line, and
then struck the tops of the trees.
One hundred ami fifty feet further
down I came upon a village. Sleighs
were dashing about, business going
on, and everybody was looking for n
thaw.
F His honor came in while the circle
Were pondering over the story, and
tho warrant being read, a poor, lone
oliap was brought out. He was tho
sßolc prisoner, and he had ealled and
jgglsked to be sent up.
■ “Hir, do you suppose I can hoof it
down here on a eold morning and
Open court on one prisoner?” de
i tnanded his honor.
I “I’m sorry, sir, and soon as I can
■strike a job I’ll pay all tho costs,”
replied tile prisoner.
“Well, if you want to go up, 1 sup
pose I’ll have to send you ; hut you
can't expect to have cushions put into
the Black Maria. Well here you go.
an, it here 1 go. The boys wiil load
you up.”
:. After the Maria had gone Bijnli
went softlv to the old man and wliis
-pered:
E “Now, do you really mean to say
that the snow was as deep as that?"
f “Do I!” replied the man: “why I
didn’t strike (lie deepest spot; I land
ed on a hill! I suppose the snow was
::Oiie hundred feet deeper ill some of
i .tin' valleys!”
I “Are you thinking of coming to
■Detroit to live?" asked Bijnli.
W “No.”
i ■“! am glad of that. This town is
Bpnly big enough to support one great
liar', and if you thought of coming
here I’d have to move!”
To Corn Reef.
B. Pack the beef, cut. into pieces,
■Weighing not over six or eight pounds,
pinto a cask, using two pounds of salt
!*o 100 pounds of beef. In from two
to four days tin* meat will be nearly
overed with a brine composed prin
ivcipally of the blood which was in the
jgioat, and which was drawn out by
the action of the drv salt. Then take
Out the beef, rinse it well to remove
all the blood, and repack, using four
pounds of sail to the PH) pounds of
beef. Then take for each 100 pounds
of meat three pounds of salt, two
ounces of salpetre, two ounces of
cloves, one ounce of Cayenne pep
per, and three pounds of clean light
sugar, or three pints of molasses. If
the beef is not from a young animal
mid to the above two ounces of salo
nuus. Dissolve the ingredients in
water, boll and skim, then cool and
■; J>our over the meat, adding water
enough to cover all well. A stone
should be laid on the meat to keep it
peDeath the brine. The “drying” beef
and tongues must be taken out in
four weeks, washed and hungup to
nrv. Beef cured in this way will

drawn off in May and new put on,
with five or six pounds of salt to the
ion pounds, adding also one-fourth
pound of black pepper, the beef can

of the Ontropolis ‘Circuit, we were
informed by Mr. Pray that Mr. Ham
ilton, who lias been residing in the
south part, of Douglass county, lost
his wife two years ago. Soon after he
paid s|>eciiil attention to a niece of
Mr, Bear, who finally gave him the
mitten. He then sought the hand of
Mr. Bear’s daughter, but the young
lady declined to pine her affection
upon him. Asa last resort he visited
Mr, Bear, and proposed to give him
*stlb Tor ills wife. Mr. Bi air consented,
received the money, and left for
Pennsylvania. Mr. Hamilton has five
children and Mr. Bear eight. The
eight children have been turned over
to Mr. Hamilton, according to agree
ment, together with some stoek for
their maintenance. Mr. Hamilton
and his new chattel are about start
