BUFFALO, MARCH III, 1910.
Whatever may be said of this city a summer
residence, the fures cannot match it winter
So intense is the cold and tempestuous the winds
In fact it is kind Of terrestial purgatory, where
81 undergo sort Of refining previous to enter
ing paradise mean the Western prairies.
Twenty days ago, the ice in the harbor broke up,
and was carried off by the swift of the
Niagara. An opening was made in the lake, and
many supposed we would have unobstructed ma
vigation Immediately. How delightful.
The ice isas firm it was New Years
day. and with little prospect Of removing The
western winds, which usually prevail at this season,
drive the vast fields Of floating ice from the head Of
the lake to the mouth Of harbor, which not only
obstructs navigation, but keeps us cold Kams-
katka, and chils the very blood in veins as we
walk abroad. Oh, its horrible to contemplate.
We have but little to excite us at present The
wings have gained the election and now carving
out the emoluments. The Clerk Of the Council super
intendent Of schools and street commissioner, will
each get slice Of pudding, and the others nought but
small rpotatoes Had the locofocos succeeded, the
whole city treasury would have gone Ia mode de
Manhattan. So you may see, it was deliverance.
In the way oil rascality ana runaway wives, we
are pretty well to do Today one s. p. Judson, a
slab-sided individual, who has heretofore been in
the liquor pork and post note line, and who has been
conspicuously Photographed in the Chicago papers,
was arraigned for counterfeiting and young fell
low Of capital and standing, named J. X. Tyler, was
also committed to Jail for similar offence. Il. was
broker, and his arrest has struck US all dumb. As
for the post note dealer, the people knew his YER
satiliy Of talent and prepared for all sorts Of
stories The Boston papers are saying some hard
things about one Dcleno, music and dancing mas
ter, who ran away with ofhis pupils. by refer
ring to the papers from this city, you will see his
card, calling together scholars to learn the polite
art. lie and his compagnion du voyage are here,
and with them two whteh headed children, as certi-
fcates Of membership. The particular case Of in
terest is, however, that Of young and beauteous
member Of the Presbyterian church, and the loved
one Of limb Of the law, who, being unshackled by
the restraints Of matrimonial slavery, packed up her
tatters and followed somebody TO parts unknown,
while her husband was left to make pap, and other
wise provide for her two "responsibles," who she
left behind. OF her whereabouts, or the cause that
weaned her from her liegc lord, is all surmise, doubt
and perpleNty NIAGARA.

THE DEBTORS PRIsoN-The insecurity, if not
the utter inutility Of this section ofthe Tombs,
place Of confinement, has been repeatedly shown in
the Herald and if any further illustration Of the fact
was wanted, it would be found in the following in
stance Peter b. Blair, absquatulator from the
State Of New Jersey, was arrested by Welsh last
week, charged with forgery and other respectable
crimes. Now Peters are high folks, and Peter was
not to be in the tnmbs like "a common thief,
but t. be bedded like Of the better order of
scamps. So Peter transferred to the debtors
side and Mr.. Welsh had got interest in Peters
safe keeping, to the amount Of $500, reward for
his indeiatigabity in getting hold Of Peter; so he
lodged detainer TO induce the Sheriff to keep Pc
ter until Welsh was satisfied All, however, would
not do; for on Friday night Peter walked, and has
not since been heard Of.
Query-How is Welsh to get his S20Ol Will the
Sheriff have to fork out, will Peters respecta-
bic friend pay, and hush the matter up!

HORRIBLE STDKM!-NAICIEI IN RllNS!n
Our devoted city is III ruins, and We have not heart
of stone to detail while the dead remain unburied and
the wounded groan for help. Yesterday at O'Clock
while all was peace, and most of our population were
at the dining table, storm burst upon our city and
ragged for half an hour with the most destructive and
dreadful power. We look around and see Natchez
yesterday lovely and cheerful Na,chez, in ruins and
hundreds of citizens without shelter or pillow
Genius cannot imagine poetry itself cannot fill up
picture that would MATCH the ruin and distress that
every where meets the eye.
Twas the voice of the Almighty that spoke, and
prudence should dictate reverence rather than exc
Grafton All have suffered, and all should display the
feelings of humanity and the benevo!ence Of religion!
The destruction of flat boats immense; at leas,
sixty were tossed for moment on a raging river and
