A household consisting of Mr.. and Mrs.
Miller aud George Erwin, nephew OF the
couple, whose residence was on the Chicago
road near Detroit, had retired as usual few
nights ago, when shortly alter midnight
Mrs. Miller was awakened by hearing a
raspiug noise in the back room. Sometimes
the geese would come under the windows
and nibble at the edges OF the olapboards,
but as there was no other noise she was not
satisfied. just then she heard the cat NEW,
and, judging the noise TO proceed from that,
got up to let her out, opening the door about

door it was forced still further open and

Northern Pacific was the blockade Tor

east Of Fargo, on the Red River.
Several gentlemen connected with the
company, including Dorrillus Morrison, Mr..
Canda and others, and DIR. Thayer, The
medical superintendent, who had been to
Fargo and beyond on business, found their
car and locomotive, after sleigh ride OF
some twenty miles, stuck last in cut filled
in with heavy snow drift. They had no
snow plows, aud no means OF cutting their
way through the DRIFT, and all they could do
was to wait until they were released from
Their prediCament by the locomotive coming
next. But in tie meantime the snow storms
which in the early part OF las week had
wept over the whole line OF the Northern
Pacific had established a snow blockade
over large part Of the line; but by the in.
defatigable energy Of Superintendent Hobart
the track was at last cleared of is obstruc

Northwestern Construction CompanY's cal

for sleeping, was abundantly provided witt
provisions and cooking apparatus, and very
luckily for them there was an abundance 0
