"A telegraph operator, named
Line, started to ascend Mt. Wash
ington, last Tuesday forenoon. He
had not arrived that night and was
supposed to have persisted in the Sc
we're storm then raging. But he
reached the top of the mountain on
"Wednesday. 1t appears that when
almost completely exhausted the
wind blew him with such force
against the door of a little station
used for shelter by the railroad hands
that both the door and himself were
blown in together. The poor fellow
had but one match. BY the great
est good fortune he managed to
strike light and kindle a fire, and
lay before it all night, thoroughly
exhausted. In the morning he made
three Intellectual efforts to get out
of the hut, but the fourth proved
successful, and he emerged from his
snow bound prison. He attempted
to climb one of the telegraph poles
and communicate with the station
at the top of the mountain, but
could not accomplish the feat. lie
finally started up the mountain
alone, and arrived all right, but so
weak from want of food that he
could hardly crawl.

! Born in Bradford and having lived here all

pleasantly known and the hearts of her

account of her early death.
OF AN aimable disposition and generally
blessed with perfect health, life to her was
pleasant; and she carried sunshine to the

the various scenes of lie. An ardent lover of
nature and the pure air, She delighted to be

She had when child learned to look higher

of the christian religion was her comfort
through life, sustaining her through u long
and painful sickness and giving her triumph
in death. She had been IN failing health for
more than year, but death came suddenly

The family gathered about her bedside to re-

and messages to absent loved ones, and then,
with breaking hearts, saw her gently, peace.

THE terrific gale which swept
over the country last Monday, fol.
lowed by the severe cold of Tues.
day and Wednesday, afford record
of severe weather rarely cqualled.
From Maine to Montana, all thr'o
New England, across the Great
Lakes, and from the North west,
come reports of devastation by the
gale and suffering by the severe
cold. On Lake Michigan over forty
vessels were swept ashore. On
Lake Huron many vessels and lives
were lost, and the lake was frozen
a long distance from tho shores.
Considerable damage was done to
shipping on Lake Erie. In some
sections of New England buildings
were unrof1ed, chimneys blown
down, trees upturned, etc, while
the range of the thermometer is re-
ported at from II deg. below in
Mass, 20 below in Maine, 81 below
in VT, % below in N. H., to 80 be.
low near Montreal, Canada. 1t
was altogether the scverest winding
up OF November and opening of
december within our recollection.

CONSIDERABLE excitement and n
s"e"t many sensational rumOrs have
been occasioned by the recent activ.
ity in our Navy Yards and the
movements OF our Naval forces
The rumors were to the effect that
complications had arisen between
our Government and Spain, and
tnat war was to be the result.
The State Department is en- tirely
reticcnt about the matter, but it
seems probable that the recent Ma.
Val activity has arisen from the
neglect of Spain to comply with the
provisions of the protocol relative
to the Virginius affair, in which
Spain agreed to try and punish the
officers concerned in the massacre
of the Virginius prisoners. That
promise she has not kept, but on
the contrary, some of the officers
concerned in the affair have been
promoted. And there is reason to
believe that our Administration had
decided that that protocol must be
respected. But now the cause for
difficulty in that matter appears to
have been removed, as the State
Deparemcnt at Madrid has tele-
graphed that the Spanish Cabinet
has decided to arrange for the trial
of these officers.

The exhibition occurred on Tuesday

more than excellent. Among its notice
able features were the "Chronicles,"

many pleasant incident connected with
the term, the closing of which they were
then celebrating. Masters George and.
Buzzell did themselves credit Us declaim-

dered by the female portion of the school
deserve much praise. Without Stopping
to deal with each separately, we will
put them down as "above par" and
promise to do better next time. Miss
Titus was the able Valadictorian of the
commencement. The manner in which
she related the past and pictured the
future could not fail to impress the mind
with the solemnity of the occasion. Her
farewell to both teacher and students
was full of sentiment and thought.
Thus closed one of the most successful
and pleasant terms of school, that has
ever become our privilege to record.

eventually stand far in advance of its
