MONDAY EVENING, JANUARY 81.

A WHOLE FAMILY FROZEN TO DEATH.
have learned the particulars Of one of the har
rowing among the many cases OF suffering by
the recent snow storm. The facts are about as
follows: IA man named Dowd, with his lami-
", lately took homestead on the Fermillon
liver, about four miles north OF VermilIion City,
d. T. On last Sunday, while the snow storm
was at its height, the shanty in which the set
tier and his family lived was so open as to ex-
pose its occupants to the fury OF the storm.
There being no signs Of an abatement Of the
storm, Mr.. Dowd, accompanied by his wife
and three children, the latter aged respectively
IA Sc years and started for neighbor' S, house
about forty rods distant MIR. DoWd, with
the six year old child in his arms, started III
advance, his wife and the two other children
following, On the way the father, With one OF
the children in his arms, got separated from
his wife and the other children. Alter Mr..
Dowd reached the house OF his neighbor, he
looked around, and not seeing his wife and
children, immediately gave the alarm. The
occupants of the house started out in search OF
the missing members. Every effort was used
to discover the Whereabouts of the lost ones,
but proved unavailing. The next morning
monday the frozen bodies of mother and two
children were found about IS rods from the
house They had lost their way, and the den
sity Of the flying snow kept the unfortunatec
mother and children from being able to lind
the house. ,Siou:c City Times.
NITRo GLYCERINE-lti is reported that with

pereInptorily turned it blck and compelled the

OUR MECHANICs.-We venture the asser-
ton, without fear of success sful contradiction,
that Richmond can turn out more and better
mechanics than any other town of its size in
the West, and such is its standing abroad
that whenever a thoroughbred and accom-
plished work man is needed to superintend
any kind of public building or the erection
of a superb family residence, or for any SUI
peior workmanship of any kind, Richmond
mechanics are applied to and obtained. We
have just learned that our old friend, LEWIS
NJ. BANTER, is employed as superintendent of
the brick-work of new NJ. Z. Church just
being erected at Anderson, Ind. Its dimen-
sions are As by "a feet-a basement, and
25-foot-story auditory room. There are to
be two towers, one on each front corner, and
its loo ttion is on South Meridian street. The
ign is to have the church enclosed and the
basement finished for occupancy this fall.
We are pleased to note that Anderson is
joying a season of prosperity in improve
ments, and is emphatcally one of the 'live
towns in Hooserdom.

PRACTICAL BUILDING -Th e works
heretofore published with the de-
sign of assisting those about to
build, have all been too cumber-
some and impr ac,icable. Messrs.
Hinkle IL Co., Of Cincinnati have
Just issued a new illustrated VOL
ume that, although unpretentious,
will unquestionably meet the pop
ular demand, and fill the great
want on this important subject. 1t
contains the plans of one hundred
and eleven residences, already
built and in process Of erection,
from the designs of the best achi-
tects and addresses itself to every
variety of taste. Its practicability
will recommend it to every man
that contemplates building, while
it's cheapness (only 81 0O) brings
it within the reach of all.

The Ladies at the Baths.

One day last week, while the
women were bathing at the foot

THE yARNISH TREE.

The beautiful black varnish
which is so much admired the
world over is the production of a
tree which grows wild in Japan
and China as we'll. It is ltivat-
ed in plantations, and is so much
| improved by the treatment it re-
! ceiyes, that = cultivated tree af-
fords three times more OF this val
/ liable product than the wild one.-
/ The tree has some resemblance to
the ash with leaves shaped like
| those Of the laurel, of light green
color, and feels downy to the touch.
I. is Of no great beauty, hut is
valuable as the source of a very
lucrative manufacture. These
trees are capable of supplying the
varnish when they have attained
age of seven or eight years. The
varnish is gathered in the follow
ing manner: About the middle
of summer o number of laborers
proceed to the plantation of these
trees, each furnished with a crook
ed knife and large number of
hollow shells, larger than an oys-
ter shell With the knives they
make missions in the bark of
the trees about two inches
in length, and under each incision
they force the edge of the shell.
which easily penetrates the soft
bark and remains in the tree
This operation is performed in the
evening, as the yarnish flows only
in the night. The next morning
the workmen proceed again to the
plantation each shell is either
wholly or partially filed with the
varnish, this they scrape out care
fully with their knives, depositipg
it in vessel which they carry
with them, and throw the shells in
to basket ut the foot OF the tree.
In the evening the shells are re-
placed, and the varnish again col
lected in the morning. This pro-
cess is repeated throughout the
summer, or until the yarnish ceases
to flow 1t is computed that fifty
