Snow ON THE MoUNTAINs.-The
Cumberland Cioiiidn says 1T is re.
ported that the snow jn the western
section Of the county is two feet deep,
and sleighing was never better, and has
been so for five weeks past. Only those
persons who pass from the Cumber-
lund region to that Of the west of
Savage mountain, can realize the differ.
ence in the weather in these two Iocali-
ties. In Cumberland we seldom have
any snow to remain long on the ground,
whilst in the Alleghanies, but twelve
miles west Of US, the ground in winter
is seldom bare.

The Freeamen's Bureau.

From the report Of Gen. Howard We
CLEAN the following;
The work of the Bureau is confined
to the District of Columbia. Eighty
seven officers aud clerks are employed.
IL Washington 1900 freedmen are
" cared for, = such is the language Of
the report. The educational branch OF
the Bureau has been continued TO as
great an extent as the fund would per.
nit. The humber of schools reported
is 2,639 The number Of teachers 5000,
and the pupils, 1861 These, be it
remembered, are all negroes. No money
is expended b. Radical Congress to
educate tho children of white mcn.
The expenditures for educational pur.
poses during the last year have been
s976, s53 So This includes S25, 900
transferred TO Wherefore University,
Ohio, and $4,000 to Liueola Universe
ty, Pennsylvania, by act of Congress,
both negro institutions. The expeudi.
lures Of the Bureau for all purposes
during the last year have been 81 $40.
1900, aud the balance on hand a ugust
81, 1870, was $500, 1862. This sum
lcW not be SUFFICIENT to settle outstanding
claia,s, and will be no more than is
needed to support the hospital, and asy-
lum in Washington, and meet other
current expenses until the next session
OF Congress. In order, therefore, to
fill all contracts, Gen. Howard has for
warded an estimate for an especial up.
preparation for the current fiscal year.
More money from the United States
Treasury is needed to support this horde
Of lazaroni with Gen. Howard at their
head. We present these facts to the
toiling, sweating tax payers of the land,
that they may bear them in mind, Over
a million and half of dollars per an
mum is insufficient to meet the demands
OF this Bureau, established exclusively
for the benefit Of negroes. Gen. How
ard wants more, and asks for a spec al
appropriation for the current year. The
people will cure this evil, after one more
chance at Congress, the complexion Of
which they mean to change.
