Snow Storm in Minnesota.

PERKS OF TIRE NORTHWEST. A special from
st. Paul, Chicago oath inst, says gloomy news
may be anticipated from Minnesota. As the
iracklayers on the extension Of the Wcnona
and St. Peter railroad were approaching the
western State line at the rate Of two miles
daily, terrible storm last Thursday night en-
veloped them and cut them off from commu-
nication with civilization. The working force
numbers over eight hundred men.
When the intelligence Of the storm reached
Wenona ]. h. Stewart, general superinten-
dent, started ont with two locomotives and
a train of cars, but SO heavy and deep were
the snow drifts, and so intense the cold that up
TO Saturday morning they had not passed New
Ulm. Ga Sunday the train had penetrated
twenty-five miles. In the meantime the storm
ragged with violence unprecedented, and when
last heard from on Tuesday night, the relief
train was stuck fast in the ever-accumulating
snow forty miles west Of Sleeping Eye and
eighty miles short of the suffering trackmen.
For six days the storm has continueL with
undated fury. The painful impression is
created that the men at the end Of the track
will starve before relief reaches them No
supplies are known to be accessible, for the line
is being constructed in advance Of the gov
eminent survey far into the country uninhab-
tied save by a few squatLers and sickly In
dams.

Why THE NEGROES VoTED AGA1SsT GREELEY
A Virginian writing from Hanover Court
House to Mr.. Greeley concerning his colored
neighbors, says
''Thcy have preachers of their own, who
proclaimed 10 them from their pulpits that you
had promised, if elected to put all the ne
groes into slavery, thatyou would pay slave
holders 5000 for each slave freed, that you
would bind all negro children for 25 years to
their former masters, &c, and then resolving
10 exclude from the church every one who yo-
ted for Grant. These things carried the ne
groes in solid column against you"

ANOTHER JOB FOR BATEs.--A chap named

foolish thing of carrying the American GAG

could, and so far he has not been molested.-
When he gets through that, the New York

A QUESTION FOR SAVAES.
from the Inyo independent

During the past four weeks the
water in Owens Lake has been rising
quite rapidly, sometimes as mnch as
four or five inches in a night. Dur
ing this period the water in Owens
River, its main and almost only
source of supply. has been constantly
diminishing, while the loss by evap
Grafton has certainly not been less
than usual. For short time after the
earthquake tine waters OF the lake fell
several feet. ani then became station

had been steadily risin1 for ten years.

furnace. then traveled. being now
under about five feet Of water and
some two or three hundred yards
from the present shore line. 1nnu-
merable springs have broken ont all
along the foot of the hills for mile
or more wet of Swansea. rendering
the low lands next tie lake swampy
and entirely impassable for vehicles;

water or sprlug listing along here
previous to that occurrence was

but in about tel days after the big
shake. and simultaneously with all
the others alluded to, this spring
commenced running ten times its
former volume. At no great distance
from the surface of the water, the |
underlying ground here is a stiff
clay. This was opened in deep cracks
running parallel to tho foothills
and lake shore. and we presume that
the surface earth and sand falling
into these cracks damned up former
underground channels and forced
the water to the surface. But this
theory affords no satisfactory clue to
the extraordinary and sudden rise of
the lake itself. It would seem as
though some subterranean outlet
had become suddenly and entirely
closed. for large as the river is, 1t
would require almost the whole
amount of water it carries into the
lake. with no allowance for loss by
to increase the depth OF
