FROZEN TO DEATH ON THE PLAINS
A dispatch on Saturday stated that six
soldiers had been frozen to death on the
plains. It appears that on the 18th
inst, during tempestuous snow storm,
Charles Warner in company with six
soldiers and an Indian scout left Fort
Ransom for Abercrombie. The soldiers
and scout we're soon left behind, and Mr..
Warner heard no more Of them until Sat-
urday evening. While stopping at
station on the route the scout came in
badly frozen and hardly able to talk
He reported that the day previous he got
lost in the driving storm, and, unhitch-
ing his mules, had camped out upon the
prairie all of the party being more or
less frozen.
The Indian covered four of the SOL
diers in the snow, the other two prefer
ring to remain in the open sleigh. He
then started for assistance. and Travelled
that night and all the next day. He f.
nally arrived at the station, but so bad
Nv frozen and exhausted as to have no
clear idea where the soldiers we're left
buried. His tracks having been covered
by the drift, it was impossible to follow
them back, and no search was made for
the missing men and they are probably

Woman Suffrage.

Mrs. Bodies is announced to speak in
this place on Thursday evening of next
week. We know nothing of her, but
the friends of the suffrage movement
claim she is an agreeable and effective
speaker for their cause, and we bespeak
for her full house and fair hearing,
which we have no doubt she will have.
This much can and should be conceded
whether what she says is endorsed or
otherwise. We had hoped the Associa-
ton would have sent several of their
speakers and music here at one time, and
fear they don't know what missionary
ground this field may be for them TO oc-
cupy, since at present not one in hum
bred has any sympathy with their move
ment.

ATHENs.-A very pleasant gathering
came off at the Brick Church, in Ath
ems on Tuesday Of last week. Some ten
years ago gentleman and his family
consisting of wife and child, emigrated
to California, leaving pa .ents, brothers
and sisters, and during these years of
toll and business have acquired fortune,
and on the opening Of the Pacific Rail
road, they sighed for one more look at
the familiar faces in their old Vermont
home, and last fall found them once
more attheir old New England home, but
alas father and mother are gone, and
on yonder mound the visitors have erect
ed beautiful monument to the memory
of those gone. On the evening above
named he gave the Athenians an oyster
supper at the Brick Church, where they
we're formally called to order by j. ii.
Austin as president of the evening. Pray
err was offered by Rev Z. 5. Morse OF
| Wardsboro. Declarations by Powers,
Hall and Ball, interspersed by song and
music by the Misses Wells, among which
was The Old Brick Church on the
Hilr' which was received with great APP
plause. Remarks were made by NJ. w.
1 Davis of Westminster, j. d. Shafter OF
California, C. HI. Willard of Townshend
Rev. Z. S. Morse Of Wardsboro, Tisdale
Porter of Cambridgeport, Rev. Q. Il
Edwards, Maj. Ball, Charles Whitney
and DR.. Austin of Athens. After the
excellent supper had been served, the
song of 1.-THE Old Brick Church" was
repeated, and the occasion was merr:ly
closed by the song, am almost sixty
tue" by Mary Wells. Then followed thu
hand shaking and hearty good bye, ane
many blessings upon their California
friend, Mr.. Shafter, and thus ended {
happy occasion long to be remembered
by those present.

one MORE FREsHET rain storm
set in on Friday last and finally ended
in heavy thunder shower during the
night, and created quite freshet IN all
the streams. The ice in Connecticut riv-
err, however, did not give way IN West
minister and Putney and as consequence
the water set back overflowing the mead
ows and highways even to the Falls at
this place. The water and ice in the eddy
at this point rose to high water mark, en-
tirely submerging the Easements OF the
Scythe Snath shop Of Frost, Derby d
Co, and the Wood Pulp Mill. the ice
came down from above nearly all day of
Saturday and there being no outlet be-
low. filled the river and eddy with one
grand solid mass of ice. In some places
the ice is thought to be from twenty to
80 feet deep, and it presents a sight that
has not been seen here before since about
1851. On Saturday afternoon between
tour and five o'clock there was grand
sight to behold. The water seemed to
have found an outlet below for awhile
and in draining off left the ice which at
different points must have resembled the
upheaying of the elements in the early
history of the earth, while the grating of
cakes of ice as they ehafed each other
made very respectable earthquake.
In some places long winrow would arch
up, and then fall in, leaving channel
and high bank of ice Those who wit
messed it, of whom we happened to have
the good fortune TO be one, viewed the
scene with much interest.
At Proctorsville a railroad bridge was
washed out and disabled and there was
the usual wash out at Bartousville, be-
sides the one in 2utney which caused the
railroad disaster reported elsewhere.
1 In Northern New Hampshire, at and
near Conway, the freshet was quite dis
asterous, in some cases, carrying of barns
and other buildings and contents. II
Maine, on the Penobscot and kennebe'
rivers. the freshet was still more disaster
Gus. the estimated loss of property being
over million of dollars.
