occasion to get of the sleigh to recover
his hat, which the high wind had carried
away. BY the time he had done this the
horses ran on, of sight; he however
reached home yesterday afternoon, very
much exhausted and severely frost bitten.
Their friends and neighbors Immediately
turned on, in search of the other brother,
whom they found sitting on the sleigh, a
sliirened and licless corpse. 1t is said

Prospects Of the GuuHl.

We have conversed with Gov. Ford OH
the subject Of the canal and he informs US
that the information furnished to Gov. Da-
Wis and Capt. Swift was necessarily SO vo-
luminous as to require some time for eX-
animation. 1t is not understood that Gov.
Davis and Capt. Swift have yet come to
an opinion and probably will not before
the middle of February. Their report, it
is expected, will be ready to be transmits
ted in the steamer which will leave the
United States on the first of March next
In the meantime, The officers Of the State
believe, with a good deal of confidence,
that the information furnished them is
such as will fully warrant favorable re-
port in every particular. The Governor
does not, however, wish TO express too
much confidence of success for fear of
disappointment which may be produced
by causes at present unloIeseen.- Chicago
