BufaIOes on the Union Pacific
Road.

1t appears that the buffaIoes were
very much discommoded by the late
terrible snow storms on the Pacific
Railroad. While one train of cars
was imbedded in the snow, these an
imals gathered to the lee side for
shelter. A correspondent says;
"lf any one felt disposed he
might from his seat in the rear of
the car, pop them over with his re-
vOlver-the rest would not move
they could not be driven away by
engine whistling or human voices,
but crowded their shaggy sides up
to the cars and there stood with
bowed heads for the storm to pass.
Many were seen to fall down in
their tracks dead, from cold, and
when at last the train was dug out
and moved of, the track was lined
with these huge, shaggy, frozen car
cases. We think a robe a luxury
in winter-so it is. Imagine the
severity Of the weather when the an
imal which furnishes the robe
freezes to death under this natural
protection"

A private letter from Fort Ben

the weather had moderated to 200

Free Trade and BRITISH Gold.


The numerous free trade petitions
that are pouring in upon Congress
have a common parentage. Sena-
tor Morrill, called the attention of
the Senate, the other day, to the
fact that the heading of the forms,
the paper, the envelopes, and every
thing about them were exactly the
same, and that they all came from
the office in New York established by
the British importers for the purpose
of affecting the legislation of the
United States in their favor. The
simple tact is, that if it were not for
the importers, those interested in
foreign capital and foreign manufac-
lures, free trade would never be
mentioned in this couutry.-Their
money is all that makes it an issue
here.-[D Dayton Journal.

Severe Storms in Nebraska
Men and stock Frozen TO
Death.
CHICAGO, Feb. 18th

CHICAGO, Feb. 18th.
A Sioux City special says a letter re-
ceived from Col. N. S. Porter, an old and
respectable citizen of Panea, Dixon Co.,
Nebraska, says ten men, in addition to
the two reported last night, were frozen
to death and are missing in Dixon Co.,
and on the Winnebago Indian Agency.
Some Of the bodies are not recovered, but
all are undoubtedly dead. People liv-
ing near the head of Logan and South
creeks obtain fire wood on the Winnie
bago agency, and on Monday morning,
the weather being very pleasant, a large
party was engaged in cutting a supply
to last the balance of the winter, when
a storm suddenly came upon them. OF
the party thus engaged, seven are dead
and missing. A man named Austin, his
son and a boy named Collins, were over
taken by the storm near Panes, and all
three frozen to death. Several other
deaths are reported, but no particulars
uhNo yCE DeG4 OBLdlubNs
The suddenness and severity of this
storm is unparalleled in the history of
this country, and was rendered more Sc
we're by reason of the snow being damp
when the storm commenced, and after
ward freezing. Several men out in the
storm say the snow and ice was positive
ly six inches thick all over their heads,
and it was with great difficulty they
could keep an opening through which to
breathe. The loss in stock in this part
of the State has been very heavy, and
will probably reach several hundred
head. It is feared that the worst is not
yet known, and that more deaths have
occurred.
SIOUX CITY, Feb. 19.
One Of the most distressing incidents
of the terrible storms that have swept
over this region during the present win
ter is connected with the discovery OF
the remains Of Dr.. Hall, of Osceola Co.,
Iowa. He was lost in the terrible storm
three weeks since, and though every
possible exertiOn was made to discover
his body, all efforts were uDsvailing, un-
til some four days since, when a dog be-
longing to the family brought in a por-
tiou Of one of his pantslOon legs. The
friends Of the deceased afterward follow
ed the animal, and found the mutilated
body of the unfortunate man only hall
a mile from the house.
Later reports from Dakota confirm the
statements in regard to the depth Of the
snow and terrible severity Of the wealth
er during December and January. John
W. Smiths wagon train left MILESTONE
Agency on Decembe Ist for Spotted
Tails. new reese rvatioh on the White
Earth River, only 200 miles distant, and
was six weeks making the trip. The
train encountered vast snow-drifts,
many Of them 100 feet in depth, ex-
tending great distance, through which
it was necessary to effect passage by
shovsling. The weather was 50 intense
ly cold that every watch stopped, and
every man connected with the train was
frozen, some Of them seriously. The
suffering was intense, but no lives were
lost.

The growth of Denver, Col, is re-
ally remarkable. The official CEN
sus in June, 1870, showed less than
5000 inhabitants. A real estate firm
in that city recently had a census
made at their own expense, with a
view to publication along with 9TH
er statistical matter. They find that
the population in December, 1871,
was 1882, having moro than
doubled in Is months. The number
of buildings erected in 1871 was
783, valued at $2,391, 1915. The
amount of business done in Denver
during last year is reckoned at more
than S14,OOO,OOO.

By PHGBE oARI.
urgtchod farce is our life at best,
A weariness under the sun

And would that it we're donel
would that al the smiles and sighs
or its mimic scenes could end;
That we could see the curtain fall,
On the last poor act, ny friend

When It looks upon you now.

TO see how Time hath got me up
For the part have to DO.
'Tis strange that We can ksep In mind,
Through all this tedious play,
The way we needs must act and look,
Aud the words that we should say.
And marvel II the young and gay
Believe us sad and Old
n they think our pulses slow and calm,
And our feelings dead and cold.
But I cannot hide myself from you,
Be the senbIaucs s'er 80 good;
For under it all, and through it all,
You would see the womanhood.
And you cannot make me doubt your truth,
For all your strange disguise
For the soul Is drawn through your tender voice
And The heart through your loving eyes.
And I see, whsrs other eyes behold
Thin, Whltensd locks fall down;
A ged-like head, that proudly wears
It's curls Ike a royal crown.
And I see the smile Of the tender lip,
Meath iiu manly fringe Of Jet,
That won my heart, when had heart,
And that holds and keeps 1t yet.
All How shall we act this wrotehed part
Till its weary, weary closet

For all our shAms and showsi

In the light OF Loves white throne,
