FROM WASHINGTON.

Washington, "A. The President sent the
following message to-day to the Senate and
House of Representatives
In my annual message to Congress at the
opening of the second session of the present
Congress, in December, 1871, recommend
ed the legislation necessary on the part Of
the United States to bring into operation the
article of the treaty Of Washington, of May
Sth, 1871, relative to the fisheries and to
other matters touching the relations of the
United States towards the British North
American Possessions to become operative as
soon as the proper legislation should be had
on the part of Great Britain and its posses
sons, The legislation of the part of Great
Britain and its possessions had not been had
Having prior to the meeting of Congress, in
December last, received official information
of the consideration by Great Bril- \ and its
possessions of the legislation necessary on
their part to bling these articles ia.o opera
,isn, coma unicated to Congress in my an
nual message at the opening of the present
session, and reviewed the recommendation
for the early adoption Of the legislation IN
the same direction necessary on the part Of
this government The near aV1roa, h Of the
end of the session induces me- again to ur-
gently call your attention TO the importance
of this legislation on the part of Congress
1t must be remembered that the treaty of
Washington resulted from an overture on the
part of Great Britain with reference to the
fisheries on the coast of Her Majesty's pos
sessions in North America, and other ques-
tons besides them affecting the relations of
the United States towards these possessions.
To this overture reply was made on the
part of this government that while apprecia-
ting the Importance of friendly and com.
plete understanding between the two govern
ments with reference to the snhjedts. special
ly suggested by the British government, it
was thought that the removal of the differ
ences growing out of what was generally
known rs the Alabama claims was essential
to the restoration Of cordial and amicable re.
ations between the two go, ernments and the
assent Of the government to treat on the sub.
ject of the fisheries was made dependent on
the assent of Great Britain to allow the joint
commission which it had proposed on the
part of that government TO treat also and
settle the differences growing out of the Ala
bama claims. Great Britain assented to this
and the treaty of Washington proposed set.

relating to the Alabama claims and to the
northwest water boundary, Commonly known
as the San Juan boundary question have been
disposed of in pursuance Of the terms of
the treaty. Those relating to the fisheries,

One of our enterprising traders thinks that
when he has worked all the morning after a
heavy snow storm, to clear place in front of
his store to get his delivery team up to the
sidewalk, 1t is rather "cool' for another per-
son to drive his horse into the cleared space
and leave it there for rest or security for an
indefinite period. 1t would seem under
such circumstances that every horseman
should dig for his own hitchlng post.
A noble team of eight matched horses be-
longing to the Hallowell Granite Company,
attached to a sled and huge triangle, passed
through our streets on Saturday morning after
the great snow storm, breaking broad high
way through the mass Of snow that had fallen
during the night. Each pair of horses Ia

The Boston Advertiser of Saturday speaks
of the late severe storm as follows;
The storm that came upon US yesterday
with all its whirling gusts of binding snow,
was expected by few besides "Old Probabili-
ties, who early in the afternoon h"isted his
cautionary signals to warn the wary mariner
and observant public. For nearly three

their hats, buttoned up their coats, drew on
their "arctcs!' and ventured GU. to plod
their way TO some place of amusement or So
cial drawing-room. The storm was of con-
siderable extent and reached as far west as
the lakes. In New York the storm came
on early in the day, and the fall of snow and
rain was 10 inches. In Philadelphia the fall
was .S3 inches; in Baltimore .35 inches, and
in Boston, up to 1925 o'clock, GA inches had
fallen, the measurement being taken i'm melt
ed snow. The thermometer ranged in the
vicinity of the freezing point all day, from
81 to SO dogs. At the height Of the storm
the wind blew at the rate of twenty miles an
hour, but moderated in the latter part o. the
evening to about twelve miles an hour. The
barometer fell to 30. 10, lower point than it
