THOMAS MEREDITH.

In December, 1858, Thomas Meredith,
an old and highly respectable merchant
Of SmithtowD, was found dead in his
barn near here. He was for many years
a Justice Of the Peace, a man Of excel
lent sense, and very useful to the com.
munity. There are some things tending
to show that he died by his own hands,
but nothing definite is known.

Reports made by exploring parties,
consisting Of geologists and mineralo-
gists, under the lead Of Captain MUIR
ray Of the Royal Engineer service, who
recently journeyed into the unsettled
Western part OF Newfoundland, furn-
ish most interesting details Of the APP
pearance and resources Of that section
Of tho island. They frequently en-
countered closely grown forests OF
stately birch and pine extending many
miles without an opening between the
thickly matted branches and foliage.
Hay Of wild description had grown
to the height Of nearly six feet in some
instances. The horses seemed to relish
1t more than the ordinary grasses The
soil upon which this hay grows is said
to be chiefly nurtured BY the molder-
ing trees. A little island in the Gambo
River. a beautiful and partly navigable
channel Of fresh water, which, accord
ing to some vague tradition, had been
believed 10 be the last remnant Of ter.
ritory inhabited by the original red
men, was found to contain no vestige
Of Indian life. The numbcrless lakes,
gulleys, and rivulets team with trout.
Muskrats and offers abound in various
quarters Of this uninhabited Western
coast and give promise of very lucra'
tive industry. Here, rabbits, deer, sill
yer gray and black foxes were met in
numbers. Flowers, curlews, and par
tridges were very abundant. In spite
Of the fame this country has acquired

almost entirely to the reporters and cor

Winter Railroading on the Northern
Pacific.

Admirable arrangements lin opera
ton for the handling Of trains on the
Dakota Division of the Northern Pa
ciic this winter. Heretofore trains
have been suspended on this division
during me winter for the alleged reason
that the business of the line would not
justify its operation. But this winter
at the earnest request of the military
authorities the line is being operated
The line was thoroughly snow-fenced,
but this rrecaution was not enough
Every train that goes out is accom-
panied by a commissary department
carrying ten days provisions, together
with blankets and other comforts for
passengers, should the train become
blockaded at any time. Each train Is
supplied with snow-plow and an ex-
ira engine called "pusher," and with
a force of eight men. In case Of storm,
or threatened storm, the trains are not
allowed to move, and in case they are
overtaken by storm they are stopped At
once and remain in place until the
storm is over, provision having been
made through the commissary arrange
ments for the comfort Of passengers
So far no serious difficulties have been
encountered, and the train has come
through on time except on one or two
occasions, but in February and March,
when our heavy snow falls come, the
commissary arrangements are liable 10
