The Cleveland Herald relates touching incident
which calls to mind an occurrence that will doubt
less be remembered by many readers. At the
Masonic Festival in Medina (Ohio) on June oath,
there was banquet in the evening. Among those
present was Ossian E. Dodge, who was called on to
sing. The song he selected was the "Snow
Storm" written by Seba Smith Mr.. Dodge, be-
fore singing the song, narrated the incident to
which it related. In the year 1921, Mrs. Blake,
with her husband and child, were crossing the
Green Mountains during a snow storm, and lost
their way. When discovered by some persons in
search of them, Mrs. Blake was frozen to death,
and MIR. Blake was almost unconscious. Near the
dead body of Mrs. Blake was little hillock of
snow, on removing which was found bundle,
which, when unwrapped, was found to contain the
babe alive and well, wrapped in the clothing the
mother had taken from her own person. When
taken up the child looked into the face of its res
cuer and smiled: During the singing of the piece
gentleman and lady in the audience were deeply
affected. The gentleman was the Hon. H. g.
Blake, son of her who perished in the snow, and
brother of the babe, and the lady was his wife.

tentions of Vautier were not honorable, objected
to her receiving his visits. She, however persis-
ted in seeing the man, and the brother at last had
reason to fear that an improper intimacy had been
formed between them. To satisfy himself on this
point, he announced on the 25th of February last

nightfal returned, and secreted himself in the mill

he might to sup with her. About eight
o'clock Yautier arrived, and was warmly well
coined by the girl. After supper he sat chatting
with her for some time, and took her in his arms
At that moment the brother, leaving his hiding
place, rushed ON Vautier and struck him. Vautier
being the stronger of the two, felled him to the
ground and then hurried out of the mill. But
