To the right party, wt 1 a first class stock of goods, there is no better location in north west -Sentinel. This is a surprise to us. By looking over our columns will be found an 'ad' of Chas: Arnold in which he advertises a full line of furniture.

On the strength of the above article we visited Mr. Arnold's store with a gentleman who had sold furniture heretofore, and our opinion is that Mr. Arnold's stock is large and a good selection, and the prices low. Mr. A.

Jan. 2, 1SS6. Yesterday was of course given up to the usual round of New Years calls, for although the practice is said to have become unfashionable in New York, it is kept up here with most of its old time The official society here givs the cue to all the rest of tha social world, and, for the families of those in high official positions, the New Years calls are almost an indispensable institution. They serve somewhat the Surpose of a cbaring house. Yester-ay was a perfect day, more like spring than winter, and the calling was as a e'msequencj brisk.

The official receptions were well attended and quit as brilliant' as usual The scene at the White House was a gay one, the largi number of army and navy officers present, all in full uniform, brightened up the rooms immensely. 1 expect a good many people here think that is what army and navy officers are chiefly for: at any rate that is what they seem to exist in Washington for. The New Years reception at the White House is about the only time you get a chanco. fc see them in uniform they avoid a uniform as the ordinary man docs appearing in a new suit of clothes and they never pi it on if they can help it Miss Cleveland of course received at the White Hons Sha was assisted bv Mrs. Bayard, Mrs.

Manning, Mrs. Vilas and Mrs. Whitney. The recep- -tion there was over early and the Cabinet ladies dispersed to receive at their own I said that the custom of New Years calling was kept up here with most of its old time vigor: that is so, but it with a dlfer mce. Nearly all the offic- -ial peopl receive, but i when you get out of that grade of society, it is by no means so much a matter pf course than -it was a few yean ago that you will find Ihe ladies you know are receiving.

The practice has to a certain extent fallen iato disrepute among the people who consider themselves the best-part of society: The character of those who call too have undergone a change: the youngsters are more and more to the front, and the younger they are the more certain they are to think it is incumbent upon them to call on every one they have any sort of an acquaint- -ancewith; Generally' three or four club together and hire a carriage so as to go around with the proper amount of style. It is this class that are most apt to disgrace themselves by getting too much punch. One of the claim agents here has a scheme on hand which will be a bonanza if there is anything at all in it He has discovered an old law passed somewhere in the thirties, allowing half pay to the widows of all soldiers who were killed in the service or who died of wounds received in the service The half pay was to cntinue for five yeers after the death of the soldier, and it is calculated that if it should be applied to the so Idlers of the late war it would take about 51, 000, 000, to settle their claims. Of course the great question is does it apply to that war, and I presume the matter will have to go to the courts for decision. The impression of those with whom I have talked is that there is nothing in it as it is almost ificonceiveable that such a law if still in force should have ben overlooked S3 long.

We heard that Hiney, of Grainfield, followed np his herd of cattle which drifted with the storm and found 100 of them dead. Booram near Buffalo Park, found 26 calves in: one snow drift smothered, and 24 more in various other drifts. D.

Stearman has lost 20 head of cattle that he knows of, but has not found all his strayed stock as yet 4 The snow drifted up to the top of John Morgan's fence; the cattle walked out and he since found 15 carcasses. Mr.

Bird, of the Saline, report says lost one hundred head of cattle in ths storm, they were mostly yearlings and were brought here last summer but went into the winter very poor.
