the water. The animal struck out boldly into the worm.
with lusty enema throwing it aside and stemming it with
heart of controversy. A man pot off in a boat to the nem
of the strange fish, but owing to the darkness did not •accost
in finding him for eons time, although his whereabouts could
be distinguished by the splashing noise he made. At length

determined to try his fortune on another shore. lurther

CAUGHT IN THE STORIL—On Tuesday nignt, hid
week, the night of the fearful stunt, some goariminne
numbering thirteen or fourteen, returning toward. More
thyr in an omnibus from the meeting of the Merthyr
and Brecon Railwey, were might in a ®ow-stores.
The snow fell in large flukes incessantly f.r home, and
drifted before the wind from the mountain's side, when
it lay in large quantities, in some places the or six feet
deep. The omnibus came to a s andetill tome miles
from any house, and a number of the peneengers, led by
two gentlemen experienced in mountain travetila,r, let
out In search of a public-house. On their wee thither
t they met the driver of the mail-coach returning Bre.
' con, who advised them not la proeed. They mums(
again, and come upon a mall house on the reel side.
The occupier stood outside, and in reply to all ee•rcad
resolutely refused admittance to the snow-caught trvvelien.
The hoe-eivile, however, disturbed by the noise, descr:ed bar
bed and opened the door, thus preventing it being f wwd in.
which the party had nearly determined should tie done. M.
rush was made for the inside, and a few went in swamis of
those lett in the minibus on the read, who were soon ca•
rayed to the cottage. A wont of mil necessitated the use OE
green ferns and wood for fire, and the party took their turret
at the fire to obtain warmth. Next morning they arrived ht
