THURSDAY, MARCH 14, 1878.
Colonel J. T. Ciiit)1?pter, of
Arkansas, has been awarded the
contract for carrying the malls troni
Fort Worth, Texas, l.y the way of El
Pnno, to Fort Yuma, Arozoim. The
distance Is 1,300 miles, the route being
from the present terminus of the
Texas raciflc Railroad to the Colorado
river. The ecrvico is to be performed
dally in coaches. This is the longest
route in the United States. The con
tractor is to receive $1 37,000 per an
num. A dispatch dated Cheyenne, W.Y.,
March 10th, says: The Union Pacific
railroad is still blockaded by snow.
The western division is opened be
yond Laramie, but nothing has passed
that point eastward. The eastern
division is open to Sidney. Nothing
lias passed Antelope westward. No. 3
passenger, due here on Friday, still
remains awaiting relief. Several
hundred men with shovels, together
with a number of plows, have been
rngoged to-day between Sidney and
Laramie In an endeavor to lift the
blockade. The heaviest plow on the
road left Laramie this morning but
stuck at Tic siding. The snow in the
cuts is packed very hard and plows
which left here eastward at seven A.
M. have not made much progress, re
turning here at seven P. M. The
Colorado Central train is at Taylor's
station, 18 miles south with a plow in
the ditch while the Pacific train is 10
miles south in the same' predicament.
Relief lias started from' the south for
both these trains. No. news from the
north yet. Reports from Colorado say
the Kansas Pacific is" badly blocked.
A wrecking train is in the ditch at
Roxelder.
AVilcox Notes.
Wilcox, Pa., March 12, 1S78.
Red hot weather for the past week.
Boys are busy killing snakes.
Who ever saw snakes, running
around, the first of March before ?
Blue birds and robbins arc plenty,
and no end to pigeons. Every body
that can borrow a gun is out shooting.
It would do a man's soul good to see
Prof. Prideaux and Will Longren
come in every day with a back load of
pigeons.
Heavy thunder shower last night ;
look out for colder weather and
another sap run with buckwheat cakes
and molasses.
Ernhout A Taylor's well, No. 1, i3
down fourteen hundred feet, with a
hundred and fifty feet of first rate
sand strongly impregnated with oil.
Tools fast in the well since Friday;
may take several days to remove them
The pipe is driven in No. 2, and
they are down about one hundred feet.
Pipe is being driven this week in
Bevier's well near Bridgetown.
Two more rigs are up and prepar
ing to drilL Two more will be started
in a few days, one near the live-mile
well, and the other a short distance
above town.
Two more of Mr. Payne's children
have died. Frank, about two weeks
ago, and now Alice, the eldest girl,
who has seen four of her brothers and
sisters carried to the grave within a
few weeks, lias herself yielded to the
cruel monster, and been consigned to
the cold earth on the hillside. This
family seem to have had their full
share of sorrow ; out of a family of
eight children only one rcmaims.
The rest are all sleeping, side by side,
in the little burying-ground on the
hill. What a change to come over a
family in so short a time, only a few
weeks ago the house was filled with
happiness anil the gleeful sports of
half a dozen children. To-day solici
tude and gloom reigns supreme within
its walls. Only one child left, that a
babe, and the parents cling to it with
a desperation bordering on despair,
fearful every moment lest it too will
bo stricken .down with the terrible
malady. Who can tell the sull'ering
of those parents.
' TETE.
Why Is It So. The editor of the
Lewisburg Chronicle tells why
country newspapers have to charge
more than city newspapers, as follows:
"We are often asked by well meaning
persons, why they have to pay higher
prices for country newspapers than
for those printed in the cities ? 'Why
do you charge two dollars a year for
the Cttroniclc, when I can get the
New York Sockdologer a bigger pa
perfor a dollar and a half?' We
will try to clear up this mystery.
Suppose the Chronicle hit a cash sub
scription list of one thousand at f 2 00
that makes 2,000. Well now sup
pose the New York Sockdologer, or
whatever paper you may choose for a
comparison, has a paying list of 100,
000, at 1 60 that is $150,000. Now
suppose this city paper has a profit on
each subscriber of but ten cents that
clears the publisher $10,000 dollars.
Now suppose the Cltronicle realizes
that percentage and no niore that
would make the sum of $100. This
latter amount would compel a country
printer to live very 'thin" himself,
and squander nothing on his family ;
while his city colemporary could wax
as fat as Jeshuruin. You see the neces
sity of a country printer charging
more than a city printer, now don't
you? A paper the size of the Chroni
cle, with its circulation and price,
couldn't live over night in a city."
Winter Is upon us, which is a r.
minder that you need an overcoat
M'Affee will make you one cheap.
