INDIAN TERRITORY.
THE TERRIFIC STORM.
Several Men Frozen to Death.
GREAT LOSS OF STOCK.

CHICAGO, Feb 1.-THE Sioux City dispatch
says that a letter received from Col. n. S. Por-
ter, an old and respected citizen of Poncha,
Dixon county, Nebraska, says that ten men, in
addition to the two reported last night, were
frozen to death or missing in Dixon county and
in Winnebago, Indian Territory. The bodies
of some of them have not been recovered but
the missing men have undoubtedly all perished
The people living near the head of Logan and
South Creeks obtain fire wood OF the Winnie
bago agency, and Monday morning the wealth
er being very pleasant, party was engaged in
cutting supply to last the balance of the win
ter, when the storm suddenly came upon them
Seven are dead or missing. A man named
Austin, his son and boy named Collins were
overtaken by the storm near Ponca. All three
were frozen to DEATH Several other deaths
have been reported but no particulars have been
obtained. The suddenness of the storm is un-
paralleled in this country, and was more severe
by the reason of the snow being damp when
the storm commenced and afterwards freezing
Several men who were out in the storm say the
snow and ice was positively six inches in thick
ness all over their heads, and it was with great
difficulty they could keep an opening through
which to breathe. The loss of stock in this
part of the State is very heavy and will proba-
bly, reach several hundred. 1t is feared the
worst is not yet known and that more deaths
have occllrrpd ...

have yet been tried The apparent cessation of
operations should not lead to the conclusion
that the community would be safe ii protective
measures Were withdrawn. These should be
continued until there remains no doubt of their
actual suppression and the disarming of this
widespread and dangerous conspiracy. The
results of suspending the writ of habeds
corpus in South Carolina show that where
the membership, mysteries and power of
the organization have been kept concealed,
this is the most and perhaps the only effective
remedy for its suppression; and in view of its
cessation and resumption of hostilities at diff
erent times of the extent and power, and that
In several of the States where it exists the
courts have not held terms at which cases could
be tried, we recommend that the power confer
red upon the President by the fourth section of
that act be extended until the next session of
Congress. Also in view of the large number of
indictments found in several courts under this
act which yet remain untried and of the evident
encouragement derived from the belief that the
present United States Courts cannot possibly
reach them within ady reasonable time, we
recommend such an increase of the Judiciary
OF the United States by districts and circuits in
the States shown to be affected by these disord-
ers as in the judgement of Congress will secure
speedy. justice to be administered and leave no
hope OF impunity to criminals by the laws de-
lay.
The continuance of disabilities is the only
cause not yet considered. No man under disa-
bilities has avowed himself as committing or
encouraging outrages; for that reason and no
member of the organization has justified their
acts on that ground. 1t is one of the pretexts
made by those who are willing to urge any
plausible excuse for outrages which admit of
none, but to relieve the alleged impediments to
local government encountered by existence of
disabilities to hold office, and being satisfied
that there should be general removal of them
with proper conditions and exceptions, we re-
commend the passage of law for that pur-
pose, agreeing in the recommendations by the
President to exclude from it's benefits any great
criminals distinguished above all others for the
part they took in opposition to the government.
:. In this connection we would say that as
disregard of law has been an evil so largely
complained of, and so widely extended in the
late insurrectiontry States, no encouragement
should be given to those who have accept
ee office in defiance of the existance of consti-
tutIonal disabilities, or have elected to office
men whom they knew to be excluded by them.

The pupils of Saccarappa School District No.
II, of which Mr.. Sylvanus Hatch is teacher,
presented to the citizens of the village very
interesting entertainment. Considering the
age and experience of the pupils, the exercises
were such as to win for themselves much cred
it. The characters of s'The Greatest Plague in
Life" were brought out with such natural
ness as rendered it very amusing Those who
consider single life plague should have been
present to witness the earnest desires of those
past thirty in matrimonial affairs. "Aunt
Betsey's Courtship," too, was much applauded.
A colioquy was spoken by eight young ladies,
in which was presented the tastes and habits of
the ancient poets and scholars, those patterns
of knowledge and power. The gentleman who
of the adherents of that band of reformers;
he was perfectly willing the ladies should hold
Office, and he would help them; moreover
would exchange the garb worn by the gentler
sex, for one of coarser material. The single
pieces were well delivered, and the singing,
which was interspersed, was very pleasing
The talent and energy displayed ON this occa-
sion, foretells of future eminence and useful
ness. We hope we may again have the plea
sure of listening to another entertainment
from this quarter before the season is over.
The regard we feel for school district No. II is
not to be underrated. We wish them perfect
success in all their wise undertakings And
when this generation shall have passed from
the stage of action, may they be succeeded by
another who will be as devoted to the advance
ment of education. FMC.

On the Pacific railroad the company itself
controls and administers this source of revenue.
On most lines, the business is sold by the COM
pany for an annual rental. The largest organ
ization of this business is probably that of the
Chisholm Brothers, with the principal office at
Montreal and branch offices at Toronto, Port
land, st. Albans, ST. John, and other points.
They control the news business on the follow
ing roads, Grand Trunk, Vermont Central and
all its branches, Northern. St. Lawrence and
Ottawa, Toronto and Nipissng, Maine Central,
Portland and Ogdensburg, European and North
American, and Intercolonial, in all over 5000
miles of railroad. In addition to the above
they control the news business upon four of the
principal steamboat lines running steamers up-
on Lake Ontario and the st. Lawrence river
Chisholm Bros. have some thirty agents on
the trains running out of Montreal fifteen or
more from Toronto twenty from Portland and
large number from st. Albans and other
points, making in all a small army of young
men under one management. s-FrgFF
The firm publish and furnish from their
Montreal Office, descriptive Guide Books of the

dcrstand they are making arrangements to pub
lish descriptive guide-book from Halifax
through to Boston, describing all points of in
terest upon the route.
Their rules and regulations, which all agents
have to comply with, are very complete. No
agent is allowed to sell any goods except those
furnished from his branch Office, nor is he per-
mitted to charge more than the price marked
in his instructions. The agents are subject to
the railway regulations they must appear in
uniform, and must have their supplies ON board
the train at a certain time, and are instructed
to be polite and civil to every one, giving all
information in their possession to passengers ON
proper subjects If they miss their train they

FEBRUARY CIVIL TERM-LANE, j., PREsIDINGG.
SATURDAY.-City of Portland VS.. Portland Water
Company. Action to recover the amount of a judg-
ment and necessary expenses of the suit which was
recovered against the City of Portland by Alfred
Roberts, a policeman, at the November term of the
Supreme Court, 1870 The ground of that judgment
was the liability of the city for defective street,
which the city claims was rendered so by the acts of
the Water Company in excavatng Commercial street
for the purpose Of laying down their water pipes
Amount claimed $4,000.
Defendants offered to prove that the carelessness
and negligence of the city in not having the gas light
ed at the by the excavation contributed to pro-
uce the accident, but the counsel for the city claimed
that that would constitute defence; that if the
Company made the excavation and piled the rocks
upon the sidewalk alleged they should have pro-
ided suitable lights and safeguards without relying
upon other parties who had nothing to do with the
work; that the fact that there gas lamp upon
that corner ought not to excuse them from placing
lights around the excavation for the gas was liable to
fall the fact by the freezing up of the pipe.
The presiding Judge ruled that it would constitute
no defence and excluded the testimony.
The defendants then put in evidence tending to
show that the excavation made not by the Port
land Water Company but by the American Water
and Gas Pipe Company of Jersey City. To this the
