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 idki In hot weather. If the brine is 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 pc kept all through hot weather, tli .mgh it will not be so tender after tli“ second brine is put on. - —— • ♦ ♦ gft A Wire Soi.n kor >SOO. Spending Ja-t Sabbath at thequarterly meeting 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 ing for California. imHrChirngo lias a young lawyer who clips from tile newspapers all the jpfeounta of persons injured on the railroads, in the streets, or in any way that may render someone else amenable for the damage, and writes offering his legal services for one third of the prosjiective verdict.
