A dispatch from Forest, Miss. Feb. 5,

upon getting up he found that the Jail

Deaths From the Cold.

Yesterday morning Mr.. William Pea
cock. of Gowanda, who is mail agent on
the Buffalo and jamestown Railroad,
brought the news to this city that three
men had been so badly frozen while pro-
ceedng through Cattaraugus County as
TO cause their death. The victims are Mr..
Nathaniel kiearstead. Mr.. &. Wood. and a
man named Snyder, all residents of Leon
Centre. Cattaraugus County. The two
last named were so badly chilled or frozen
on Thursday last that they died on sun
day, and Mr.. Kiearstead. who was chilled
TO insensibility on Saturday. also died on
Sunday. Ii appears that the three men
were summoned TO appear at sitting of
the court at Little Valley, distance of
ID miles from Leon Centre. Osr readers
are aware that the weather was bitter cold.
liz !. said by good authority that the
weather has not been so severe in Catta-
raugHs County before for many years.
Mr.. kiearstead, Mr.. Wood and MIR. Snyder
left their homes i'm separate sleigls. and
reached Little Valley safely. On Thurs
day Mr.. Wood and Mr.. Snyder, having
finished their business at Little Valley.
started to return. When they reached
their homes they were terribly benumbed,
and died on Sunday. Mr. kiearstead did
not finish his business until Saturday. and
in the course of the day he took his seat in
the cutter and started for home. lie was
not seen again until evening, when the
horses attached TO his cutter entered the
yard of his residence. Mr.. kiearstead was
then found sitting upright, but in an in
sensible condition. The member OF the
household was promptly carried into the
house. nd, in spite Of all that could he
done for him, died the next day.-Bufato

PawnbrOkers.

Few OF our readers are probably aware
of the immense extent to which the poor
In this city make use OF loans from the
pawbrokcrs' shops. There are In New
York and BROOKLYN some 400 of these, and
In Jersey City and Hoboken sixty. They
advance TO the poor during each year some
81 OO0,0V0. These loans are usually for
thirty days and the rate Of interest Is
from ) to 20 per cent. per month. The ar
ticle pledged for the loan Is usually three
times the value Of the sum lent, andis very
often never redeemed, owing to the dis
tress or poverty Of the person borrowing.
II the interest Is from 8 to 10 per cent. per
month, II will be seen that the pawnbrokcrs
make some hundred per cent. on their
loans, or about four millions annually from
the poor; and 1t Is not improbable that
they get Ms much more from the sale Of
the articles pawned.-New York Times.

The Military,

The most interesting portion Of the celebration
Of Washington's birthday was the part taken by
the District militia, though the numbers Of COM
mands were not very strong, yet those companies
which parsded did so very creditably. Company
a, Washington Light Infantry corps, assembled
yesterday afternoon at their srmory on Pennsyl-
Tania avenue, and after donning their new uni

sWallow-tsil coats OF white Austrian cloth trimmed
with bIpe and gold, shake or bear skin hats with
gold tassals, black enameled belts, patentleather
cartTide-boXes and bayOnet scabbards, the
line was formed under the command Of
Captain W g. Moore and his lieutenants, Dalton,
Harrison sDd NEEDING, and marched up Pennsyl.
Tania avenue to street, through 4 street to
Fourteenth street TO M 70 Fifth, and back 70 the
aTmory, when the company was dismissed. All
along the route Of the parade Company A re-
ceiVed much attention for their soldierly bearing
and their tasteful new uniforms, and frequent
cheers were given the members as they passed by.
The company paraded about fifty men, and their
precise marching could hardly be eXcelled, while
the proficiency in the manual Of arms was most
perfect.
The Presidents Mounted Guard, with about
twenty men, attired in their handsome uniforms,
made parade through the principal streets and
attracted much attention.
At shutdown a salute was fired on the arsenal
lot under the direction Of Captain Zimmerman, Of
The Washington Artillery.

THE FREEDMAK's BANK.
Additional Larislation Askad.


The commissioners Of the Freedmans bank
have addressed a letter to the Committee on
Banking and Currency, in which they say:
Conscious Of the increased sufferings which o
pTotracted delay in the payment Of dividend
will entail upon many Of the depOsitors Of the
Freedman's Savings and Trust Company, we feel
constrained once more to call upon you, as chair
man Of the committee to which the matter has
been trusted, and through you upon Congress, to
secure for us the additional legislation recon-
mended in our late report as well as the purchase
by the Government Of the companY's banking
property before the close Of the present session.
There are many Of the assets Of this company the
collection Of which ought to be attended to with
out further delay; but as It is impossible to real
iZe their full amount they will prove total loss
unless we are authorized, by way Of Q compro-
mise, to effect speedy settlements upon partial
payments. So also do we deem the additional
legislation concerning the purchase and sale Of
property and the assignment Of depositors' &C.
counts absolutely necessary to a successful prose-
chase Of the company's banking property we feel
there ought to be but one opinion, and II half Of
the distress and suffering which the failure Of
this company has produced among its thousands
Of depositors and their families were known there
would be but one. The property is worth more
than we ask for it. The Government needs it,
and is now paying heavy rental fora portion OF
it. Upon its sale depends the immediate pay
ment Of q 20 per cent. dividend and the relief OF
the suffering depOsitors. 1t is in their name and
in their behalf that we plead for this assistance
II Congress fails to make provision for the pur-
chase Of this property by the Government, and
we are left to our ordinary collections, another
year at least will elapse before we can hope to
nav dividend

they concluded to dispense with the usual festival

ing Chief Justice Cartier present he compli-
mented the society on his presence, and regretted
that he was not one Of them.
Chief Justice Cartier in return, replied that he
felt not little embarrassed at the Introduction.
The reason they found him there was because he
spent at least eight out Of the twenty-four hours
in the building daily. He found they were in
session and was pleased TO look in upon them.
He wished that ne was an old citizen that he
might be counted one Of their number, but he
discovered that age alone was not requisite for
that purpose, but that an applicant must be an
old resident

people.

was extended the reader, and the association sd-

Disastrous Fire in Chicago.

CHICAGO, Feb. 22.-This morning, at O'Clock,
q fire broke out in the drug-house Of VAIL Bros.
glue works, on Thirty-hrst street and Lancaster
avenue. The building covers eight acres, and
was almost completely destroyed, together with
the stock, which was very large. The loss Is es-
timated at S4Oo O0O but the insurance will not ex-
ced $3.50, 900. There was some difficulty In max
ing the alarm understood, and the IRE had made
considerable progress before the engines arrived.
The infammable character Of the buildings
caused the flames to spread very rapidly. Moth
ing was saved except the ottice and Ice houses,
parts Of the refuse and eask houses and the books
and papers. There were twenty buildings In all.
There are various theories as to the cause OF the
FIRE, but the generally accepted one Is that the
dry.house was overheated. Insurance so far as
known foots up $s6, 900; including the Newtown of
Pennsylvania, S3 900; Southslde, Of Pennsylvania,
