EV The present winter has written a
tale of unparalleled horror on the pages of
western history. AS yet, however, not
half the story Of suffering from terrible
frosts, and damage from binding snow
storms, has met the public eye. Snow
mas been piled house high in many locali-
ties, and men women aud children frozen
while endeavoring to obtain food aud fuel.
In some cases parties we're overtaken in
the open air and killed by the blightinc
embrace OF the north wind; in others,
whole families died by their own firelcss
,hneearthstones, cold, hungry and alone
These are some of the incidents which
have marked the winter of 1872 in the
west. - wv

~ And so West Point is to become an
international institution. No longer con-
fined to American youth, it is to educate
all nations, the japanese included. in the
art Of killing people scientifically. Nothing
was ever more absurd than the PROPOSE
tons recently made in Congress, to throw
its doors open to the japanese students,
and Judge Thurman hit the right nail
upon the head when he remarked that if
rules were to be relaxed they had better
be set aside in favor of our own citizens,
many of whom would be willing to pay
very literally for the privilege of cducat-
ing their sons at West Point. 1t is bad
enough to instruct our own people how to
fight, without instructing foreigners
how to fight US. The idea is, however,
perfectly in keeping with the sublime
wisdom which seems to characterize every
action of the present Administration.

The following are rules for ascer-
tanning the number of plants or trees
required for one acre Of land, which
contains $500 square feet:
Multiply the distance in feet between
the rows by the distance the plants are
apart in the row, and their product
will be the number of square feet for
each plant, which, divided into the
number Of feet in an acre, will show
how many plants the acre will contain,
thus:
Blackberries, ETC., z feet by $50, (43,-

INSURANCE..


The undersigned, policy y-hOlders OF the Mutual
Life Insurance Company, call to the attention Of
the trustees the fact that difference OF opinion
exists among prominent actuares as to the effect
upon the interests of present poicy-hoders Of the
proposed new departure In the conduct OF the
affairs of the company and the disposition OF its
accumulated funds.
They also call to their attention the fact that in
the opinion OF three eminent actuaries the reduc-
ton Of premiums as proposed Is "unjust to exist
ing policy and prejudcial to their rights
and interests and deserving unqualified disap-
proval."
They also suggest to the trustees that any ex-
perimental revolution by them (of doubtful legal
ity) in the system Of the company's business, and
the use and hazard by them of the funds accumu-
lated by the present pocyholders for the security
OF new obligations inuring to the benefit OF new
members, are calculated to shake the confidence OF
the community In a direction where, by every
means, confidence should be strengthened and not

reached South America, having been enticed
to leave their homes by bright pictures Of life
amid abundance Of tropical products which
require almost no labor. What money they
could raise has been exhausted in purchasing
what they supposed to be passage tickets to
the Southern Eden, instead of which they are
here-cold, hungry and destitute Our author
tiles are puzzled how to provide for these
unfortunates, who have been duped by sharks

the lower part of the city in search of homes.
Strangers, without money, friends or trades,

Commissioners of Charities, who will feed and
shelter them till work can be found which
they can be taught to do. It looks as though
the Italian government is blamable in allow

tute men from their own sunny homes hither
