We are in receipt of a letter from Norman Kidd of Los Angeles, Calif., with the  price for another year’s subscription enclosed.  He says the News is greatly enjoyed by them every week, especially since it has been enlarged and at the same time comments on our splendid lot of correspondence, but thinks we ought to make more mention about weather conditions at home.  Right you are, Norman, and we will try to grant your request hereafter.  So far we have been enjoying one of the grandest winters ever known in this part of the country.  We had no extreme cold weather at any time until last Monday morning when the thermometer registered 30 below zero.  Sleighing has been fairly good all winter and the roads were in perfect condition for autoes, but a heavy snowstorm last Friday, which lasted for nearly 24 hours, spoiled that sport for a while, at least.  It was one of those northeasters with considerable wind, leaving the snow piled up to a considerable depth in some places.  Mr. Kidd informs us that parts of California have been visited by a severe frost which to a large extent destroyed the orange crop.
