with snow, which he estimated in
places to be at least $50 feet thick. In
ordinary seasons this road in the Zogi
pass, is clear from snow some time
during the month of June. As another
instance of the great snowfall Mr.. Ly-
dekker takes the valley leading from
the town of Dlas up to the pass sepa-
rating that place from the valley of
the Kishengunga river. About the
middle of August almost the whole of
the aforementioned valley, at an ele-
vation of 10000 feet, was completely
choked with snow, which in places
was at least 200 feet deep. In the
district all passes over $4,000 feet
were still deep in snow at the same
seassn Of the year. Mr.. Lydekker
gives other instances of snow lying
in places in September where no snow
had ever before been observed after
June. AS to the destruction of ami
NAL life in the Upper Warawan val
ley, large numbers Of ibex were seen
imbedded in snow; in one place up
ward of 60 heads were counted, and
in another not less than 100, The
most convincing proofs, however, of
the havoc caused among the wild
animals by the great snowfall is the
fact that scarcely any ibex were seen
during last summer in those portions
of the Wardwan and Tilail valleys,
which are Ordinarily considered as
sure finds. So, also, the red bear and
the marmot were far less numerous
than usual. MIR. Lydekker estimates
that the destruction to animal life
caused by snow has far exceeded any
slaughter which could be inflicted by
sportsmen during period of at least
five or six years.

THE INDIANS.

DENVER, COL, Dec. pa special
to the Denver Tribune from Los Pinos
dated 25th inst, represents that the cit
uation is very serious there. Gen.
Hatch was to have started from Los
Pinos yesterday and spend the night
at Cline's Ranch, on the Simraror.
On the 30th he will start from
there for Alamosa, which is
the last railroad station. Gen.
Hatch has given up all hope of secur-
ing the Indians, and as his departure
is tantamount to declaration OF war,
much anxiety is felt as to his fate.
There are several hundred braves near
Los Pinos. and the whites, all told. do
not number over twenty-five. The
roads are blocked with snow, and
only passable for light buckboards.
The Indians have the whites COM
pletely mapped Those ia the bowl are
Gen. Hatch, Col. Valoise, W. T. Saun-
ders, of Virginia, a Denver Tribune
correspondent, fifteen soldiers and
the Agency employees. Gen. Adams
Is in Denver. 1t is believed that the
troop of cavalry under Col. McKen-
ze, stationed at Fort Garland, has been
ordered to make forced march to L. 8
Pinos at once, but they can not
get there before~the Indians make an
attack unless Ouray succeeds in keep.
ing them quiet little longer.
Ouray, Onidas City, Selverton and
other settlements are greatly exposed.
The White River Utes have consumed
all stores taken from the White River
Agency and are eager to make an at
tack on the Los Pinos Agency. If
Hatch has left without the Indian
murderers, it is considered that war
will open at once. The indians will
strike the first blow, as they have
everything their own way at present,
owing to the removal of the troops to
distant points at the demand of Ouray.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 29.-Advices
from Camp Rucker are to the effect
that Geronomo, an Apache Chief,
with eighty-three of his band, surren
dered to the military authorities at
Camp Rucker, and will be sent to the
San Carlos Reservation This is the
band which has been depredating for
some months along the border, and
did much of the work credited to Vic
toria's band. This virtually wipes out
all the renegade Indians in Arizons
and on the border.

NEW YORK.

New YORK, Dec. PIE. Ketch-

brick building, corner of South and
Second streets and Union avenue,
Brooklyn, was discovered to be on
fire about midnight last night. The
stock and machinery in the build
ing were damaged to the amount of
100000.
The suit begun September 20,
1877, by the United States against
Gen. John G. Fremont to recover
$11O,808, which vas, as alleged,
enormously paid him as Major
General of the United States army
from May IA, 1861, to July 16 in
same year, was discontinued to-day,
Judge Choate, at the instance of
District Attorney Woodford and the
Generals counsel signing tie order
of discontinuance. The complaint
set forth that Fremont had not gone
to his post and reported for duty
when he drew pay for the period
mentioned. District Attorney
Woodford, in letter to the Solici-
tor of the Treasury gave as his
reasons for discontinuing the suit
that the General had failed to file
the acceptance of his appointment,
or that 1t was merely a technical

SNOW TWO HUNDRED f. EFT DEEP.
The Extraordinary Snow Fall in
Cashmere Two Winters Ago.

The following remarkable account,
from the London Times, of enormous
snow falls in Northwestern India,
shows what world of vapor is carried
inland on the monsoons from the In
dian ocean, to strike against the lofti,
est mountain chain in the world, and
be precipitated in such SHOWS and
rains as occur on the middle slopes
and foothills of the Himalayas.
About the sources of some of the
great rivers of India occur the heaviest
rains ever known; and further east, in
Cashmere, it seems the SHOWS are
sometimes terrific. The London Times
says:
Some interesting details of this ex
traordinary snow fall in Cashmere in
1877 78 are given in a paper in the
just-issued number of the Journal of
the Asiatic Society of Bengal, by Mr..
Lydekker. Early in the month Of
Cashmere, and from that time up to
Mary, 1873 there seemed to have
been an almost incressant snowfall
in the higher mountains and valleys;
indeed, in places, it frequently snow
without intermission for upward of
October, 1877, snow commenced to
all in the valley and mountains of
ten days at time. At Dras, which
has an elevation of 10000 feet, Mr..
Lydekker estimated the snowfall, from
the native account as having been
from thirty to forty feet thick. The
effects of this enormous snowfall were
to be seen throughout the country.
At Dras, the wellbuilt traveller bun
galow which has stood some thirty
years, was entirely crashed down by
the weight of snow which fell upon it.
In almost every village of the neigh
boring mountains more or less of the
log houses had fallen, while at Gul-
marg and Sonomarg, where no at
tempt was made to remove the snow,
almost all the huts of the European
visitors were utterly broken down by
it. In the higher mountains whole
hillsides have been denuded of vege-
tation and soil by the enormous avail
anches which swept down them, leav
ing vast gaps. in the primeval forests,
and closing the valleys below with the
debris Of rocks and trees. AS an in,
stance Of the amount of snow which
must have fallen in the higher levels
Mr.. Lydekker mentions the Zogi pass,
leading from Cashmere to Dras,
which has an elevation of II 800 feet.
He crossed this early in August last
year, and then found that the whole
of the ravine leading up to the pass
from the Cashmere side was still flel

EX-Gov. AIKEN, of South Carolina,
writes another letter to the Charleston
NesUs and Courier, in which he says :
81 have asserted that no partisan un-
der the banner Of Democracy can com.
mand the confidence of the Northern
people. Neither Tilden, Hendricks,
Hancock nor Bdyard can insure
enough Northern electoral votes, in
my judgment, to ensure him, when
backed by an entire Southern vote, an
undisputed claim to the Executive
Chair. Is it reasonable or even inn
polite for me to say so? II so, then 1

was done on purpose.
