The snow storm of the 21st ult. in North
East Missouri, was very severe. The
North Eart Reporter, Of Jan. 25th says:
1.-The snow lies in banks all over the coun-
try from two to ten feet deep" The storm
did much damage to property, and was the
severest that has occurred in upper Missou-
ri for ten OF fifteen years" The roads even
were impossible.
The storm in this region, was bad enough
in all conscience, but nothing like what the
Reporter represents. We travelled with
a buggy, the first day of the storm here,
about 25 miles, but would not like to make
the same trip again.

SFRozEN TO DEATH.-A poor family who
came out late last fall under the auspices of
the Enigrant Aid Societies, consisting Of
husband. wife, and three children, were
frozen to death on Monday 22d of January,
on the Meredezine creek in Kansas
Ter. They were probably uncared for af-
ter their arrival in the Territory, by that
heartless company, and left to die, for want
of fthe necessary comforts life. But what
better could be expected of band of con-
spirators combined for purposes of .aboli-
tionising this Territory, and for speculation.
Another family consisting Of husband, wife.
two children and negro woman, were
frozen to DEATH. near Lexington Mo. so
says the Kansas City Enterprise. This
family were moving, and stopped in an old
open house, to shelter themselves from the
storm, and had been much exposed during
'the day.
