GILBERT PICKINGS.
With the thermometer twenty degrees below zero, we are reminded of its being mid-winter, and with the sleighing fair, the young folks are enjoying themselves on the top shelf.
The farm house of T. R. Hughes, four miles east of this place, was burned on Thursday, December twenty-eighth. The stove pipe not properly entered into the chimney was thought to be the cause.
PENSION LIST.
Below we give the list of pensioners living in Story County, as received directly from ofcial sources. There are one hundred and forty-eight names testifying to bravery in the field or sorrows at home. There is one veteran of the war of 1812 and six widows of veterans of that war. This inequality calls attention to the esteem in which war worn heroes were held forty or fifty years ago. Other matters of interest will be noted on examination.
