A scene terminated very happily on the 9th
ult.. which might have had a. verJ sad ending
and calls to mind the apt repeated fact that
+" life is uncertain" a few days before, inv-
tatons had been sent out privately 20 few OF
her old friends, who were to meet and give her
pleasant surprise, and celebrate her sixty
second birthday. which occurred on that day,
and everv thing was running on smoothly,
until the Mouday night previous, when she was
suddenly attacked with a psralytc stroke,
which for while threatened TO turn the day of
celebration and festivities into one OF mourn
ing, but it seemed that the Master had more
sor her to do here before calling her TO render
up an account, and her friends were permitted
to witness ber recovery almost as suddenly as
she was taken, and when the time came for the
company 20 assemble, she was ready to receive
and entertain them. 1t is to be hoped that the
closeness OF the call will prove warning to all
who were cognizant of the facts, to have their
lamps trimmed and burning, so when the Mas
ter calls we shall be prepared to have an an
swer.
Among those present were Mrs. Kdder,

ted to Mrs. Maria Shilling by her friend, Mrs,
Louisa Williams, OF New York city:
Dear friend, we hail your natal day
Just three score years and two
And many more, We truly pray
Our God will grant to you.
Long have you sailed the sea OF life;
Full many storm you've braved;
With kindness and patience assuaged every
strife,
In the harpor of love thou art saved.
In your neat little cot, with your dear ones
around,
May sorrow and sadness ne'er come;
But health, love and happiness ever be found
Til your stay on this earth shall be done.

N hour in praying. A Chicago Captain said he
Was made TO feel what an awful sinner he was.
A Clevelsnder replied that he made solemn

the revolutionary propsgandists, and
day or two afterward he WIS surprised
TO receive at his house visit from three
young men, who expressed great desire
to make his personal acquaintance. Az
soon az they wero announced by the
servant, the priest suspected there was
something wrong, and before asking them
in, took the prccaution of sending for an
attendant to be present during the inter

THE FROZEN TRUTH.
Terrible Destruction of Jack Rabbits by
Cold.
Carson (Nev) Appeal.

| Carson (Nev) Appeal.
Ever since the cold snap the Washoe
and Piute Indians have been selling
jack rabbits in astonishing quantities at
| figures which have ruled considerably
below their usual market prices. Bill
jackson, who has been out hunting and
prospecting for week or ten days past,
tells remarkable story III connection
with the bountiful supply of rabbits
which the Indians are at present fur
nishing A few days ago he visited
Kings canon, and there he asserts he
found acres of jack rabbits frozen stiff
on the ground. Rather than shoulder
the responsibility of the remarkable
statement, the appeal gives the yarn in
Jlckson's own words:
"You see the cold snap drove the rab-
bits into the canon sut ofthe wind. One
moonlight night | came across q drove
of over five hundred making for the
canon. They were all huddled together
getting as much warmth as possible from
each others bodies. The drove were
packed together as close as the threads
OF IA three ply carpet, and as they moved
along they looked like a big army blank
ct drawn over the ground. They passed
close by me. and when | fired into the
drove with shotgun, eight or ten drop
ped, but the balance closed right up and
passed on as before. | didn't think at
the time exactly what was up, but a
few days ago | was up in Kings canon.
and there | saw a sight which was the
most uncommonest thing | ever glued
my eyes to. There were the rabbits

wedge. ] turned up the edge of the
mass with my gun, and broke oil a slice
with a dozen in all stuck together.
Presently some Indians came along and
began to yell. They concluded they'd
struck meat bonanza, and they've been
lngging off the meat ever since. That's
the reason rabbits are so cheap around
the town. Why, ont in the brush you
can find whole gangs of 'cm standin' on
their hind legs and lrozen stiff. | shot Il

O.her hunters report thousands of
frozen jack rabbits in Carson valley, al
though none have as yet viewed the as.
tonishing sights as viewed by jackson.
Hank Monk corroborates Jdckson's yarn,
but says that the present crisis in the
affairs of the jack rabbits isn't to be - ON
pared with the general destruction of
the animals in 1869. lie asserts that
every darned rabbit on the earth was

had more about rabbits. That's all
true what Jackson says, but he hasn't
told half. Yesterday | seed hundreds
of them thawing out. 1t is a fact.

Y. Herald.
The falling Of the barometer in the in
terror reported on the 21th ult., seems
to illustrate the tendency of certain
types of weather when once fairly set
in, as noted by Blaniord, Glaisher and
Other weather students, TO reproduce
themselves and impress their peculiari-
ties on whole season. The barometric
depression which prevails more or less
in the West and Northwest since last
October, though small. ought not to es-
cape the notice of our meteoroiogists, as
its continuance will have great influence
in determining the winter rainfall over
the trans Mississippi erain-growing re-
gion, and, consequently, of the agricul-
tural yield of next summer. The Herald
has already pointed out the powerful
agency of this meteorological in connec-
ton with the mild winter, but il is of the
greatest moment that its possible effect
on the precipitation of the country and
the crop prospects be carefully studied,
for il Is in winter that the moisture
needed for summer vegetation must in
large measure. either in the shape OF
rain or snow, be deposited ON the soil.
The winds of winter which cross the
Rocky mountains bring but little moist
ure to the Northwest, their value to the
agriculturist consisting only in their
power to condense vapor borne thither
by southerly winds, which scarcely reach
ed this region in December. BY COM
pairing the rain and snowfall data, ii ap-
pears that in October the rainfall was
below the normal from Minnesota west
ward to the plateau districts: in Novem-
Der there was small deficiency in the
Upper Missouri valley and Minnesota,
while in December there was a slight
deficiency from the Upper Mississippi
valley northwestwardly for some dis
tance. These deficiencies, tritling as
they appear to be, are worthy of vigilant
attention. But as they result from the
general distribution of continental press
ure the latter feature OF our winter
meteorology must be diligently investi-
gated.
The Smithsonian researches have strik-
ingly established a certain tendency to
an arrangement of groups of years of
drought followed by unusually wet years.
Although in the East the Alleghenies
will, as 1t now appears, have no great
snow accumulations to be liquified in
Spring and discharged into the rivers
flowing from them, the rain supply to
the present data is in excess. But if the
meteorological status undergoes no
change in the interior the case may be
otherwise in the Northwest.
