BD- 1t is estimated that Illinois
made S5,72S,OOO bushels of corn
less this-yoar than last, that Ken
lucky is short Pail. 800 bushels
Ohio I0,92S,6lG bushels-Iowa 2S,-
556,960 bushels-Missouri 1881
l20 bushels, and Kansas 9,1S5, 6IO
bushels.
The closing up of the Canals and
rivers of the north has locked up
in transit, millions of bushels of
corn, wheat and other produce,
which cannot be shipped with pro-
hit by rail, and which if suffered to
lie until spring, will become dam
aged or utterly ruined. Great loss
to the farmers of the West must be
the result, as the Mississippi river
is their only means of reaching
market, and that will be closed TO
them within the next six weeks
These facts, while there is less corn
made; will cause it to be rs cheap
or cheaper than last year, in the
markets of the Northwest.

LINCOLN. NEB., April 2l.-The
train on the D. and NJ. II. r. came in

show it to have been the severcst
ever known. Men we're frozen to death
within two rods of the house, while
trying to get the stock to feed them.
Near Grafton. man named keeler
attempted to reach a neighbor' S
scarcely half mile away, accom-
panied by his wife and cEild, and the
two latter we're frozen to death. Mr.
Marshall, near Hastings, persisted
while trying to reach the stock from
his house. The wife and child of Mr.
Bent near Red Cloud, froze while
attempting to reach neighbours after
the house was rendered uninhabitab e.
Their bodies were found Friday ten
rods from the house. Families were
compelled to take refuge in cellars, or
keep their beds for three days.
Houses were blown down and filled
With SNOW. The destruction of cat
tie and horses was great. Some lost
all they had. One party lost a whole
herd of seventy-fvc head. CulIies
on the railways were filed with Snow
as hard as ice, and SNOW plows were
useless.

TIE LOUISIANA WAR
A Non-Partisan Account of tho
Conflict at ColfaX.
Especial Dispatch to the world.I

NEW ORLEANS. La. April 18.-Mon-
day last the negroes frcm ColfaX col
lected in force and took possession of
the town and Courthouse, declaring
ing that the officers elected should not
hold court in Grant parish. Even the
Sheriff, elected and commissioned by
kellogg, was ordered, with all white
citizens, to leave the parish.
The negroes formed themselves into
bands and destroyed everything be-
longing to white men that fell in their
way sacked houses and acted as on
ly all Infatuated mob could act. They
took possession of the Courthouse and
threw up brcast-wOrks. There were
about 500 negroes, all armed, insolent
and defiant. They refused to disband
unless permitted 10 get entire posses
sion of the town and Courthouse.
The white families all left, and the
white men collected for defence. Re
Inducements were sent for. Finally
about l2J white men were collected.
The attack was made Easter Sunday
and it was not long before the Court
house was taken. Many PERSONS were
killed-about seventy-five negroes and
one white man, Shaw, who was with
them. The ringieaders escaped from
the Courthouse before the flames
burst forth.
Mr.. Hodnot was wounded and died
soon after.
The fight lasted about four hours
AT one time it was most severe.
The whites made every endeavor to
avoid blOodshed, and went so far as to
raise flag Of truce. Mr.. Nash, Sher-
if of Grant, sent for Allen, one of the
leaders OF the negroes, and begged him
To dispense them. TO this request Al
len turned a deaf ear, thinking they
che negroesl were strong enough to
hold on.
While the negroes were in posses
sion Of COlfaX they committed many
Outrages. They instituted a species Of
CONSUMPTION, compelling the negroes
who work in the fields to fall in and
do acts of violence. The cOnserva-
tives Of town were beaten unmerciful-
~. The Postmaster (Sam Caney), a
negro-former,y a member of the Leg
islature-was chased ont of town, and
not allowed to attend duties of his Of
flee. All negroes who sympathiZed
with the whites had to fee from the
parish. Their lives were threatened.
Accounts from the country look as if
q war of races " as inevitable; though
it is to he hoped that the defeat CT the
negroes i'm this conflict will put an end
TO all hostile demonstrations. Most of
the negroes have returned to their
work.

his wife's name at less than One-tenth
of IFS value. It's even so and the said
Underwood has occupied and enjoyed
that property since. The Supreme

this movement of Judge Underwood's
was fraudulent and that he shall re-

the proper rent and damages.
ALBERT Fortune. the noted horse
thief, and escaped convict, was re-
Gently identified in Baltimore, and
after a relentless chase, in which he
ran into private house up stairs and
through a twelve light window, was
caught, and delivered to Capt. Stroth
er of the Va. State Prison. Fortune
was hand-cufTed and fettered, so that
he could not step more than fifteen
inches, Yet when the train on which
he WAS escorted was near Ashland Va,
but running at the rate of twenty-five
miles per hour, he jumped out and ac-
tually made his escape, before the train
could be stopped, and Capt. Strother
could return. Next day a dozen
mounted men with packs of hounds,
secured the woods OF Hanover, but
they found not Fortune, who now
passes current as one of the most dare
devil negroes ever in Virginia.
4 REMARKABLE case Of premature
burial, recently occurred in Philadel-
phia. 4 man who was pronounced
dead, and fastened in his coffin, was
shipped by express to New York City,
where owing 20 some informality OF
the death certificate, the coffin was
opened, the body found to he warm
and life was restored. He had been
in his coffin for thirty fire hours.
FORTUNE, the escaped convict, has
been re-captured, and is now heavily
ironed in the Va. Penitentiary. When
he sprang from the train near Ashland
he stuck a railroad tie. and rolled i'll
to ditch, injuring one of his knees.
He was stunned and unable to move
for while, but finally crawled out and
escaped into All open field, before Capt,
Strother could stop the train and re-
turn. He then stole horse and es-
capped to fredericksburg, where his
mother lived, and was discovered in
her house. y pistol ball scraped the
top of his skull and brought him TO,
until his captors secured him. Poor
