LOST on THE PRAIRIE.
Terrible Suffering Nenr storm Lake
One Man Frozen TO Death ana An
other Badly Frozen.

From the Fort Dodge Northwest, Nov. 26.I
Three trappers from Illinois passed
through here about a month ago, on
their way West, to begin the winter
campaign against the mink and otter.
They were trapping in Buena vista
county and surrounding country. On
Monday, tke 10th, two of them started
from the Maple river, to 60 across tAe
prairie to Storm Lake. Our readers
will all remember the severe snow-sterm
that came on so suddenly during that
day. The wind blew terrlhc gale
from the northwest. The snow came
driving down in binding fury, making
it a fearful day for the traveller on
the great unsettled prairies.. The
two trappers pushed on through
the binding storm all day, and
when night came, no friendly
shelter was in sight. The storm had
continued to increase, the night was
dark, the air filled with the driving
snow, the road utterly hidden from
sight. 1t was a cherries prospect be-
fore them-to continue on groplhg
their way through the long hours OF
night-lost-andw without hope of hnd-
ing friendly shelter, or lying down IN
the snow at the risk of freezing, to wait
for morning. After wandering around
for a time, they concluded to stop and
dig a hole in large snow drift, which
would afford partial shelter from
the fury of the storm until morning.
When daylight appeared they crawl
ed out and found themselves bad
" frozen. One of them, Charles
Butler, insisted upon going on
toward the Lake, while the other as
strongly insisted upon trying to ma the
nearest house. They finally separated
Butler and his dog going IN the dlrec-
| tion of Storm Lake, while the other
wandered around until he found
house. Before reaching it he became
nearly deranged frem his sutferings.
Having pulled off his boots to rub his
feet. be was unable to get them on
acaip, and was compelled to walk sew
eTal miles barefoot in the snow. When
he reached the house his feet were badly
frozen. mangled from the stubble OF the
harsh prairie grass, bleeding and use
less.
:. On Friday night Buffers dog came
into Sac City, and made such demon
strations that some of the citizens VINO
knew him, seeing him so lank and ap-
parently so nearly starved, became
alarmed for the safety of his master
Early the next morning a party OF men
started out, and following the dog who
ran on before them for about twelve
miles, toward Storm Lake, they at last
came upon the body of the unfortunate
trapper lying stark and rigid in the
snow.
The dog had evidently staid with hi
master from Tuesday night until Fri
day, when, almost famished with hun
ger, he sought the settlement. W,
learn that Butler leaves wife in Hi
nois to mourn his sad fate.

From the Cleveland Plaindealer.
Inportnut Insurance Decision

In the United States District Court
for the District of Indiana, the case OF
Spencer rs. the Hartford Fire Insurance
Company was tried few days since
The case was removed from the State
Court under the act of Congress by the
Insurance Company. 1t was an action
upon a policy of insurance. The pro-
perty destroyed was of the value of
$4,000. The Company resisted the pay
ment on the ground that the acts of the
insured had voiGed the policy; that the
policy contained proviso that it should
become void if gunpowder should be
kept by the insured upon the premises.
and that the plaintiffs had kept gun
pow der in their store.
The answer to this was that at the
time OF the making of the policy the
agent Of the company was informed
that there was a small quantity OF gun
powder in the store, and that he had
agreed that il should be sold out-that
it was sold out, and no more had been
kept; and also, that the same agent had
afterwards renewed the policy and re-
ceived and retained the premium.
The counsel for the Company argued
that the agent of the Company had no
power to make any other contract than
the printed policy prescribed; and that
it was never competent to varya con
tract in writing by contemporaneOus
oral agreement.
The Court instructed the jury that the
agent of an insurance company can
waive the conditions of policy so q:
to bind his principal. In accordance
with this instruction the Jury returned
verdict for Plaintiff for the amount o.
insurance and interest. The Insurance
Company will take the case to the Su
preme Court on writ of error.

A Tale Of Horrsr-A Lady Buried
Alive

A New Orleans correspondent of a
Western paper relates the following
horrible story:
have just heard one of the most
heatrending and yet unavoidable affairs
which it has ever been my lot to record.
1t is nothing more nor less than the
frightful reality of being buried alive.
A most estimable lady, Mrs. Crane,
whose husband is book keeping in Flem-
ming 81 Co.'s drug store, in this city,
died suddenly last July, of what was
pronouaced sunstroke. She was 8
school-teacher in one of our most pop
ular SCHOOLS. In the afternoon, after
school was out, she went to visit a neigh
Dor on Felicity street, and just as she
entered her friends house, she fell in
sensible and expired, to all appearance,
in about two minutes, the doctor pro-
nouncing it sunstroke. Her body
was inferred the next day at
10 o'clock, and her mother, an old lady
about fifty years of age, and her hus-
band and one little son, went home al
most broken-hearted, and have since
been nearly distracted, being at times
unable to sleep, and, in fact, leading a
most miserable aud disconsolate life;
and well they might, as the sequel will
show, had they known what they had
done. Well, one night last week the
mother, after passing most distressing
day, fell asleep late at night and
dreamed that her daughter had been
bnried alive. She jumped up in fran
tic state, and rushed to her son-in. laws
chamber, crying, "My daughter is
buried alive! What shall l do7" To
sleep any more that night was oLt of
the question; she still crying that
her daughter was buried alive,
whenever her son-in-law tried to quiet
her. At length the proposition was
made to have the body disinterred, inst
to satisfy her. So early the next morn
ing the grave was opened and the coffin
raised. Oh, what horrible sight met
their view! Pen is powerless to por-
tray the scene which followed. The
body, which had been placed in a me-
tallic coffin, was turned over; the glass
covering the face was broken to atoms;
the ends of her fingers being beaten
and battered all to pieces; her hair torn
out in handfulls, and her shroud torn
in many pieces-all presenting the ap-
pearance of the most desperate struggle
to free herself from her terrible misfor-
tune.
If any of your readers could have
seen the relatives of this unfortunate
lady, when this condition of what they
was the perpetually silent
tomb had been brought to light, it
would have forced tear from the most
stolid and adamantine heart. 1t was
one of the most distressing affairs ever
recorded in this State, and l sincerely
trust it will be the last am ever called
upon to record.

THE CANR.BoTTOmRD CHAIR.
BY WILLIAM MAKEpEAcE rHAcKERAY.

In tattered old slippers that toast at the bars,
And ragged old jacket perfumed with cigars
Away from the world and its toll and its cares
I've snug little kingdom up four pair OF stairs
To mount to this realm Is toll, to be sure,
But the fire there is bright and the air rathei
pure;
And the view behold on asunshiny day
Is grand, through the chimney pots over the way
This snug little chamberis crammed in all nook.
With worthless old knicknacks and silly old
books,
Cracked bargains from brokers, cheap keep
sakes from friends.
Old armor, prints, pictures, pipes, china, tal
cracked),
Old rickety tables, and chairs broken.backed;
A two-penny treasury, wondrous to see,
What matter tbs pleasant TO you, friend, and
me.
No better divan need the sultan require
Than the creaking old sofa that basks by the
fire;
And tbs wonderful, surely, what music you get
From the rickety, ramshackle, wheezy spinet.
That praying.rug came from a Turcoman's
camp;
BY Tiber once twinkled that brazen old lamp
A Mameluke fierce yonder dagger has drawn
'Tis muIderous knife to toast mullins upon.
Long, long through the hours, and the night,
and the chimes,
Here we talk Of old books, and old friends, and
old times;
As we sit in fog made Of rich Latakie,
This chamber is pleasant to you, friend, and me.
Rut of all the chean treasnrea that carn;ab nv

For the finest of couches that's padded with

An Astouished Cashier.

The Cleveland Leader, eff the 9th,

check. examined and pronounced it 80.
X" and paid over II the presenter three
thousand dollars. Supposing the amount
called for to be three hundred, the re-
ceiver of the money was, as may be
imagined, not a little surprised, and
thinking, perhaps, that in sud
den spasm of generosity, the man
who had given him the check
might have added the third cipher
as a testimonial of personal regard.
Taking the money he went immediatel :
to him, and, with triumphant flourish,
showed him his goodly pile of green
backs. The giver of the check was
utterly aumbfounded, realizing that a
regular habit of adding ciphers to
checks, in fits of abstraction, would
soon "play him out" financially. Re
turning to the bank, the man paid back
to the astonished cashier, whose optics
protruded like saucers, twenty-seven
hundred dollars. An examination OF
the check showed an inadvertent mark
after the "s3OO," which he had mistaken
for cipher. Had the man whe received
the money been dishonest and cleared
out, the little scrawl would have cost
somebody twenty-seven hundred dol
