fc^urcity^is not an aneient one. Less
than fifty ; years ago, the first settlers
cattle here| claimed the virgin soil, and
began tifo in a Wilderness. These set-
tlers- were men and women of noble
stamp, determined tocarve forthem-
selves a hame and fame fn the then
unknown. We#t. - their spirit ot deter-
mination !was transtoitted to their chil-
dren ; the new settlers who came in
were infected with it, and the progress-
ive goaheadi tiveness which has charac-
terized lfhe~ placs since the day the
- Giffords first set foot here has always
abided with ISlgin.^Another thing to
which much of our carly succees can
be traced was the energy and steady
habits of the settlers* coupled with
theirwat^ujeare. over the destinies
of the iptfewai Pity; the right motives
Whleltpkotnpted them to build school-
. hoaxes ;andi $|iutcbes, White preparing

ESTABLISHED, 1855

ELGIN, ILL., SATiJBBAY,

Sttowed Under.

Old settlers to the contrary, the pres-
ent week has been made forever histor-
ical by the most terrific storm'ever vis-
iting these parts*1 The disturbed and
hopelessly fractious elements com-
menced their wonderful capers on Sat-
urday of last week, and with slight in-
termissions have- recklessly continued
them to date of writing, Friday after
noon. The protracted April shower of
Saturday was followed by a boisterous
storm of snow, accompanied by high
winds, on Sunday, which continued
during the entire day and into the
night. The slush created by the com
bined rain and snow, can be better im-
agined than described, and much bet-
ter got along without than with.'

The temperature on Sunday night
and during Monday was sufficiently
low to harden the accumulated mush,
and railroad travel was seriously inter-
fered with. On the. Milwaukee A St.
Paul, the Sunday evening Kirkland
passenger was stalled on the, way to
Elgin, near Roselle; Conductor Mc-
Dowell, who had the train in charge,
succeeded in getting to Elgin with the
engine and a milk car, and with the en-
gine of the Elgin passenger and the
yard engine, went hack to the relief of
the abandoned train, which contained
between twenty and thirty passengers,
a number of whom were Elginites, and
a half dozen ladies. Even with these
engines they found the way a rugged
one, and after hours of effort were
obliged to give up without reachyag
their destination. Monday, two addi-
tional engines, with about fifty snow
shovelers, were sent out from Chicago
to the relief of the stranded ones, and
the five engines only succeeded m reach-
ing Elgin Tuesday afternoon, after a
that those who participated in
will not soon forget; a 60-hour seige,
during which the train men had little
or no rest or sleep and not too much to
eat: 'Superintendent Earling came out
with the engines, Monday, and putin
good work in the endeavor to react this
city, and his encouraging labors and
presence, together with delicacies of the
season in the shape of crackers and
cheese which he divided among the
men. and waded' into himself, helped
keep up the Spirits of the workers. The
passengers on the train were supplied
with provisions from farm residences,
and were as Happy as possible under
the circumstances. Three, Messrs. A.
C. Hobart, Leslie Teflt and A. T. Lew-
is, managed to pedestrianate to Bartlett
Monday afternoon, and hired a 'resi-
dent to drive them here. The engines
were continually getting oft the rails,
and the head locomotive was several
times buriedout of sight in snow-banks.
Much trouble was also experienced on
the road between Elgin and Byron, but
the track was finally cleared and trains
got running^by Wednesday noon, only
to have the third and greatest storm of
all, which set in Wednesday evening
and yet continues* Create a worse block-
ade than ever. Since then all trains
have been abandoned, the rails are un-
discoverable, and no effort has been
made to unearth them; if it should
stop snowing, of which there is no pres-
ent' prospect,, it would take at least
three or four days and "an immense
amount of work to right matters.

On the Fox Bi ver branch things were
not much better:- On Monday the El-
gin passenger got away about noon and
back the samfe evening, and the Geneva
Lake passenger took to the ditch at
Nunda and remained. Tuesday, Cass'
crew of the Geneva Lake freight started
up the road to help out the passenger,
but went off the track near Algonquin,
and turned completely over into a snow
bank, from which engineer Jas. Flinn
and fireoM^Schlager were forced to
dig tjjt»rt8elves out. Trains had not
on this branch when the second
fail of fall of snow set in^ and until to-
day (Friday) no trains were run. This
afternoon three engines, with snow-
plow attachment, came up from Turner
Junction and went as far north as
Dundee, afterwards going back to their:
starting - point, followed by a milk
train. Chicago's principaLsupply comes
from this region, and, it being impos-
sible to make any shipments since
Wednesday, the fluid is said to be sell-
ing for SO cents a pint in the metropo-
lis. 4 train is expected here from the
Junction this 'evening, with mail and
express matter, none of either having
been received for forty-eight hours..- ',v>
The tussle on the,Galena divisf&t
with the first storm terminated at about
& o^clock oti Monday night, at which
time the morning passenger arrived*
and started, east with three engines:
Trains on this branch ran quite regu-
larly until Wednesday night, when the
12:20 train was obliged to remain at
Turner Junction. Since then no train:
has Arrived from either direction, al-
though it is expected that an opening

The circulation of Th® advocate

Using medium.

In a recent talk before the Metropol-
itan Scientific Association,. of New
York, a lecturer asserted that George
Washington was bled to death. On the
occasion of his last illness, four-physi-
cians successively tapped the distin-
guished man, and he died. A. death of
this sort is much«asier than havin? the
life talked out of a man by office-
seeking bores, the fate of Presidents
nowadays.

It is said that the German govern-
ment has become farmed at the in-
crease of drunkenness among the peo-
ple of the country, and will take strin-
gent measures to work a reform in the
matter. Beer-drinkers have graduated
into imbibers of a cheap liquor which
is said to be manufactured from pota-
toes, and which possesses intoxicating
properties! of a startling> nature. A
man buying a drink of the stuff is re-
quired to< pay for it before he drinks it,
for the reason tl)at he would not be
sober enough to handle money imme-
diately afterwards, and a person once
under its influence remains so for sev-
eral dayB. The fact that the Germans
take so readily to the new liquor, de-
stroys the pet theory of many,that beer
does not lead1 to the use , oi, stronger;
stimulants. ' r	\ -

Speaking of siloS and ensilage, M. S.
Timinerman, of Sycamore, is forniost
the i^ea. fie s^ys that in Kew York
State, where it has been < triedy it is not
liked among ordinary farmers. Cows
run . down in flesh on the feed; it is not
only 4 great deal of work to-, preserve
it, but it is a great deal of work to feed
it out; it seems unnatural for animals
in the middle of'winter to befed on the
same green fodder that is nattiral for
them in the heat of summer.
