we hope he will forgive US for telling how
he got lost in snow storm.

with which the ground had been so
lavishly adorned. Some were so large
that you would think they must be CEN

The Doctor and his wife lived here
alone, with the exception of boy whom
the Doctor had taken to do chores for him
and to be company for his wife when he
was attending his patients; for although,
as | said, he was getting old, the people
of the little village near could not have
been persuaded to give up their faithful
physician.
One day it had been snowing-such a
snow storm as you Western people sell

seemed to vie with each other to see which

the sky above seemed one endless sheet OF
snow.

he returned from his round of calls, 81

the snow from his great coat and handed
it to Bruce to hang up, saying that he
should not need it any more that night
just as he had seated himself at the
tea-tahle and his wife was pouring out bis
tea, loud rap as heard at the door.

OUR STATE PRIsoN.-The annual re-
port Of the officers of the State Prison at
Windsor, for the year ending August 81,
1862 contains much that is of general
interest to the public. W. present some
facts and figures relative to the workings
of the institution.
The directors state that the conyicts are
well supplied with wholesome food and
comfortable clothing, that they are in a
good state of obedience. that good health
prevails, that cases OF punishment are
rare, while nearly all are ambitious to earn
the time allowed by the communication act.
Their examinations in reference to the
financial affairs of the prison show a de-
fciency Of income amounting to 81, 2g7.-
Ia. They claim that this is quite az ia
vorable as was expected by those most con-
vsTGant with the actual state of affairs /;
the question of "pay" simply, not being
the chief object of penitentiary. It is
given as their belief that the financial

"What 90 ten miles such night as
this 1t is impossible" retorted the Doc
tor.

less you do. I have man here with me,
and we have shovels; we will see you safe

The amount of it was, the Doctor went.
1t is not my purpose to dwell on his
ride there for it was made comparatively
easy by the aid of strong arms and shov-
els nor of the sick woman, but of his
journey home. The snow was still whirl-
ing thick and fast as the Doctor tucked
himself snugly in his light cutter for the
homeward trip, and started off briskly |;
for Nellie was anxious to get home to her
warm stable.
The Doctor was not very well acquain-
ted with the roundabout way he came,
and with the darkness and binding snow
he soon became bewildered. So after a
while, thinking he had ridden farther
than the distance to his home, he thought
he would trust to his horse to get him out
of the difficulty, and gave Nellie full lib
erty to choose her own road so, after he
had gone on for some time longer, Nellie
stopped and whinnied. The Doctor I'M
muffied little, and peered around in the
darkness and snow.
"Why, Nellie, where are we Z" he said.
"This looks very muck like Chestnut
Ridge; yes, there's the opening in the
trees, at the turn of the road on the brow
of his hill-this must be Chestnut Ridge
eight miles from home. Well, Nellie,
we may as well camp for the night, for
we can't get home.
"How lucky that Bruce supplied us
we'll with blankets" soliloquized the doc
tor as he unhitched Nellie from the cutter,
and fastened one of the blankets on her,
and turned her loose to look out for her
self. Then spreading Buffalo robe on
the snow and turning the cutter up, he
wrapped himself up in his blankets, and
crawled into his novel bed and was soon
sound asleep.
His faithful dog was very uneasy all
night at his masters absence, and bounded
out at the first opportunity to look for
him. Finding the cutter in such novel
condition, he began to bark furiously
around it.
You can judge of the doctors astonish-
ment, when he came out of his bed room,
to find himself in his own door yard, and
Nellie standing at the stable door, wonder
ing, no doubt, why she was treated so
coolly.- Western Rlkr0I

affairs have been managed in strict econo-
nv and honest fidelity by the superin-
tendent and that under the present con-
tract, and present range of prices more
favorable report cannot be expected.
Referring to the system OF contracting
the labor of the convicts, the directors say
that it almost inevitably interferes with
the proper discipline of the institution,
by placing the convicts in working hours
under those whose pecuniary interests
stand over against those of the State, and
that if any money is to be made from the
labor of the men, the State should have
the benefit of such labor.
The library contains some three hun
dred reading volumes, but, in the opinion
of the directors, needs revision and en-
lsroing, the present annual appropriation
of $25 being inadequate to meet the ne
cessities of the case.
At the commencement of the year there
were rs convicts. During the year AZ
were received discharged by expiration
of sentence, 25; by pardon, 8; died, Ii;
executed, / !; transferred to the insane
asylum at Brattleboro, 1 leaving in con-
fnement, August 31st, 81-75 white

couraged in my work, than in that which

gan into the chapel, procured by dona-
lions from churches, Sabbath Schools and

TUESDAY, JANUARY II. 1870.
The Acquisition of San Domingo.


The treaty for the annexation of San
Domingo to the United States has been
negotiated. The President sent the trea-
ty to the Senate with private message
on Monday. The governing motive for
acquisition of San Domingo is its geo.
graphical position to the country as a
means of national defense, as well as its
general maratine advantages. The lease
of SANTANA was effected as preliminary,
and the Jurisdiction of the United States
established over that part of the territory
Of San Domingo. Several senator's who
are oognizant of the particulars of the
negotiation, assert that San Domingo is Of
as much Importance to the United States,
as the island of Cuba is, if not more, and
Chat the acquisition Ct the one will more
easily lead to theppossessisli of the other.
1t is probable the message Of President
Grant recommending the ratification of
the treaty will briefly state his reasons
for the negotiation. He has already
stated them to some of his political
friends. Although the text of the bill
cannot nSSy be made public, there is no
doubt Mat it contains the following para
graph:
Frst-The United States stipulate to
pay one and half millions.
Second-This money is to be devoted to
the liquidation of all the obligations of
tKSl Republic of San Domingo, including
the redemption of its currency, which is
representedEo be of comparatively small
amount.
= Ihrd-In case the obligations to be
assumed by the United States shall ex-
oeed this, the public lands of San Do
mingo are pledged as security for the
excess. O
rSF0urh liquidation of the obliga-
tions is to be entrusted to Commissioners,
one to be appointed by each of the con-
tracing parties.
tEVM-In consideration of the dis
charge of these obligations, San Domingo
cedes to the United States all the forts,
docks, custom houses and all other public
buildings, arsenals, ETC., and complete
jurisdiction over her Territory.
Si1h-San Domingo is to be annexed
orr acquired as Territory and not as
Stag and subject to the legislation of
Congress in the same manner as Terrific
ries of the United States.
SeUenM-The treaty is to be valid to all
intents and purposes when ratified by the
Tpited States and confirmed by vote of
Ge majority of the citizens of San Do
mingo.

THE GLEN's FALLS BANK ROBBERY.
1T is now said that the team of horses
which the robbers who perpetrated the
burglary at the Glen's Falls bank had
with them at Saratoga has been traced to
livery stable in Troy, though as yet it
is net definitely ascertained who the
parties are. Detective Case of Saratoga
Springs, shrewd officer, is on the track
of the scoundrels, and we hope he will
succeed in capturing them.
On Saturday it'll was developed that
some of the robbers or their acoomplices
were in Albany during the day. The
Express says that as T. J. Strong, of the
firm of Strong Brothers, was going up
Hudson street, at the corner of William
street he found a package lying on the
sidewalk, which, ON examination, proved
to be the will of III. r. Wing of Glen's
Falls. The envelope was torn open and
on one side the paper was scorched. 1t
was showing at the time, and the en-
velope must have been dropped but few
minutes before, or it would have been
covered up. Mr.. Strong Immediately no.
titled the police and telegralphed to Glen's
Falls. He received reply that the will
was among te papers taken by the rob-
bers. Subsequently it was ascertained
that Mrs. Van Slyke, living at Ne. SO
Herkimer street, had found at the corner
of Hudson and Grand street a consider
able package of papers stolen from the
bank, con sisting of wills and collaterals
of no value to the robbers. The papers
were recovered and sent to Glen's Falls.
Mrs. Van Slyke stated that number of
papers were picked up and carried off by
boys. 1t is expected they will be recov-
cred. The scattering of these papers in
the streets of Albany is probably "a ruse
to attract attention from the real locality
of the robbers.
