of late years which seems to me most

anxious TO have many calls, and in
their cagerness forget to be prudent,

community, having purchased or hired
dress coats, pool their lists and go from
house to house in groups. Aside from
the transparent folly of wearing even

unfriendliness of calling on ladies they
never saw or heard of, is their abso-

seems to be to make out long list.

BERRYyiLlE, Va, Jan. g.-Eoger l..
Cooper, resident Of the little village
Of Paris, Clarke county, situated on the
side OF the Blue Ridge mountain, near
the boundary line between Loudon
and Clarke counties, brings news OF a
terrible calamity in his native village

entire community Of 500 men, women
and children were suffering terribly
from intense cold. while no loss than
FIVE persons had been literally frozen to
death. The snow commenced falling
December 20, and continued with una.
bated fury until Christmas, when the
Thermometer registered Is below zero.
Nearly every house in the village.
owing TO its peculiar situation on the
mountain side was buried to the root
in mammoth snow drifts, compelling
residents to cut tunnels, in many in.

make exits. So completely was the
country overwhelmed with snow that

During Christmas day the able. bodied
men who had succeeded in cutting their
way out Of their houses were busily en-.
gagged in assisting many of their neigh.
bors to cut tunnels through the snow
which completely enveloped some Of
the smaller cottages. The safety of
fifty or seventy.ive Of the villagers
could not be placed beyond doubt until
late in the afternoon, when they emerg

hands and feet, brought on by want of
fuel with which to keep the fires going.
One cottage, occupied by widow, Mrs.
Kate Whitman, and her two children,
was the last for which the kindly Offices
Of a rescue party were performed.
When an entrance TO this house was
finally effected, after several hours
labor, the unfortunate lady and one of
her children were found dead upon a

day Sunday a meeting of the villagers
was held in the school. house, when il
was resolved to appoint committee of
fifteen to take charge of all the wood
and provisions in town. This was in
order TO economic fuel. The number
OF sick and frozen became 90 great on
Tuesday that the committee converted
a dwelling. house into hospital, whith.
er oil the invalids were removed and
placed in charge Of n body Of physi.
clans. BY Tuesday evening the number
of patients, in various stages OF sickness
had reached seventy.fve, while Others
were coming in hourly. The committee
then determined 10 reduce rations and
send message to Berryville TO ask that
assistance be sent as soon as possible.

4 GOOD MOTTO.

WHERE DiD JUDGE BLACK FlSD IT?
Mis-. Grundy in Plilaisrhia Time,
When Judge Black was here to at
tend the wcddingof his granddaughter,
Miss Skunk and Lieutenant Evans. he
unintcntionally started IA topic which
has now become iavortc subject for
discussion when two or three legal
minds are assembled at a state dinner.
Judge Black told me the story, and
have repeated it to many, Of the motto
on the attorney generals official seal, +,
which the Judge had placed upon it
when he was attorney general in Bu-
chanan's administration. The motto
Is: "Cui pro Domino J,Htitja scqtuftr"
who prosccutcs for our lady Justice.
Judge Black says that he made use
of this, remembering the story which
he asserts Sir Edward Coke tells Of
his interview with Queen Elizabeth
when he was taken 10 her 20 kiss
hands for his patent, and was intro
duccd as Her Majesty Attorney
General Qni pro Domino Regina r.
quiiur.' Elizabeth replied with en-
phasis' Nay, by Gods teeth it shall
not be so: We must change that he
shall be my attorney general, QH pro
Domino Justitid s,gnhir."

Professor Proctor, the greatest Of
living astronomers, who has made the
investigation Of the approaching com.

his observations to the public, and his
conclusions are that an awful collision
of the sun and comet are certain, and
that changes in another stellar system
will take place, and the sun may after.
wards resume its ordinary influence.
The menacing comet is the one re-
Gently visible in 1880 in the Austria
lian heavenS, and which i one of the
most interesting comets ever seen by
man. Views respecting it, not by
fanciful theorizers, but by mathema-
ticians of emineuce by no means prone
to adopt vivid and startling ideas,
suggest the possibility--nay, even
some degree Of probability, that the
comet may bring some danger TO the
solar system. Like the comet of 1S43,
il passed within about 10000 miles
from the solar surface, and on a path
similar to that pursued by the comet
of ls43 while in the neighborhood of
the sun. The comet of 1880 il, in
fact, identical with the comet of ls43,
but its period is diminishing rapidly,
so that at an early date IL may fall
into the sun, with this alarming i'm.
mediate result-that all higher forms
of life, at least. will be destroyed Off
the surface Of the earth.
