The New York Herald has an article abiding
TO the winter on the prairies, in which ii remarks
that summer, the most remarkable in its po-
ltieal and natural history of the last hundred
years. has been followed by a North American
winter scarcely less conspicuous for its extraord
mary pecuarities For example, the late great
snow storm was bounded on the West (Cleve-

This Grand Prairie is an open champaign district
some fifteen miles in width. and of unascortained
length very thinly inhabited. It's perfect para

drift in wnter. On this prairie they have had the
most extraordinary winter casualties in railroad

Trains tunnelng their way under drafts,
and finally freezing fast in the snow, within some
twenty miles of a Hourishng village. but inacces-
sible to relief as ship stranded within hundred
yards of Squam Beach: passengers reduced to
the necessity OF tearing to pieces all the spare
for fuel; compelled to make a lunch of the stray
dogs on board, in order to keep off the wolf of
starvation; signals of distress; vain efforts at "a
rescue; transfers at last coming Up, and offering
to take off load of passengers at ten dollars each,
thirteen miles to the nearest settefnent-such are
the leading facts in these late experiences of IL
linois railroRding on the Grand Prairie. Under
such circumstances one train. with several hun
dred passengers on hoard. men. women and chill
dren, was locked up in the snow for whole week
within some twenty odd miles of the thrifty town
of Wilmington. Such is the romance of a rail
road pleasure excursion among the snow drifts of
the Grand Prairie.
