LOST IN THE SNOW.—A young woman, named
Hunter, who works at one of the factories in Montrose, but
who belongs to Barvie, left Montrose on Saturday to go
home. She spent the night with her relations, and left to
walk to Montrose on Sunday afternoon. Not having made
her appearance as expected, her friends in Montrose sent a
telegram to Bervie to see if she was still there. This, of
course, alarmed the friends of the missing woman at Bervie,
who instituted a search, which resulted in the discovery
on Tuesday of the dead body of the missing woman in a
wreath of snow a few miles from Bervie, on the Montrose
road. The unfortunate woman had no doubt got bewil-
dered in the snow drift, and perish from exposure.—Bcots-

man.

SUICIDE BY SKATlNG.—Something must be done
to " put down" suicide by skating. Persons should not bo
allowed to distress their friends and otherwise derange the
relationships of society, sometimes pauperising their fami-
lies and throwing the burden of them on the public, by
their own destruction through an insane and unreasoning

love of sliding along. It should be made a criminal offence
to go on to public ice certified to be unsafe. The fear of
three months, with hard labour, might deter many who
would not be kept off by the chance of losing their life.

SUSPENSION OF HUNTING.—In consequence of
the frost and snow neither the fox nor stag hounds are able
to leave the kennels, and the gentlemen of the numerous
huutsare completely frozen out of the hunting field. The
horses used for hunting aro daily exercised over straw and
tan rides to keep them ready for the thaw and resume
hunting.
