WASHINGTON, Nov. /.
A telegraph dated Oct. Sd which an
nounces the return of Capt. Weyprecht
and Lieut.. Paper Of the Austrian army,
states that in September an open sea was
found from AZ degrees to 60 degrees east
Of Greenwich to the northward OF 70 de-
grees north latitude. The northwest
point reached was 10 degrees north on
the meridian and As degrees east There
was found the most formation of ice to-
wards the North Pole with probable
connection with the open sea north of
Siberia towards the east. This appears
to be the most favorable route towards
the North Pole. DR.. Peterman remarks
In the last part of the telegram IL car

that Caorl land which was discovered
last year by Count Zeil and Theodore
Won Henghir extends southwark to 70
degrees II minutes north" The expedi.
ton was made in small sailing boats and
at the expense of the officers.

Mrs. Cobb was member of the Con-

christian experience was clear and salts
flying. She knew what the Savior meant
when he taught the woman at the well
that the water he should give should be
well of water in the soul springing up
into everlasting life. The light she shed
upon the path of others was soft, constant
and cheering. She was uuassuming in
her social intercourse, but loved best by
those who knew her best. and enjoyed
the most Of her genial, christian influence.
Fer some months past she has been a
great sufferer, and yet the indweling
presence of Christ as perfect salvation,

months before, her friends are double
