CHICAGO, February 5.-On Wednes
day Mr.. Burk, roadmaster, located at
Burt's station. Num-, discovered a
whole family frozen to death. Mr..
Burk noticed shanty close by, and
seeing no evidence of life, visited the
premises and forced open the door
when horrible sight greeted bis eyes.
Upon the couch and on the floor of the
wretched howell lay the father, mother
and children, evidently of a whole
family, frozen stiff. Word was at once
sent 10 the nearest town, and arrange
ments were made TO care for the re-
mains of the unfortunate family.

The Land League Excitement
Running High,

laegue excitement ran high in
Brooklyn this afternoon. The
fourteenth ward branch of the
league held large meeting at Han
cock Hall, North Sixth street. The
meeting was addressed by Rev.
Father Mackay, a Catholic priest,
who has lately arrived from Ireland.
He said he was glad to find that
Parnell, Dillon, Davitt and all
the other Irish representatives, in
Parliament have acted so nobly and
so well. Applause When Dayitt
was arrested they stood up ike
men and gave the representatives
Of the English government to UNI
derstand that they were not only
representatives of the Irish nation,
but that they were heart and soul
Irishmen. [Applause. The IRISH
will never go back Oh these men.
Farher Mackay declared that the
Irish will never submit to coercion
and tia; they will yet achieve M
tional independence Loud ap-
pause. If Mr.. Gladstone were
wise he would yield in time. Fa-
Their Mackay further said that if they
were forced to take up the musket
and fight for the freedom Of their
native land. must it not be said
that they were driven to it ? To
use Peter Cooper's words, They
might as well die fighting as die
starving" The applause and ex-
element that followed this remark
was so great that the speaker was
forced to pause. Before the meet
ing ended several persons signed
the roll of members.
Tie thirteenth ward league also
held a meeting and appointed a com
mittee to report a set Of resolutions
relative to the arrest OF Michael
Davitt. The committee reported
the following,waich was unanimous
ly adopted :
"Whereas the arrest Of Michael
Davitt by the British government is
an act of vindictiye tyranny which
deserves the cxccration of the civil
lied world.
"Res0tye9, That VIC, as Amcri-
can citizens, dcnounce that act as
unworthy Of nation which boasts
of having free institutions and sp
peal to every lover Of freedom to
join US in an indignant protest
against to shallow preiense on
which the arrest is sought to be
Justified 1t was also resolved to
form ladies' branch OF tie league
in that ward.
The Irish rational land le1guc'
which it is proposed to amalgamate
with the Parncll league, held a
arge meeting here to-day,when the
secretary reported that since March
% last year Sl,7jO had been lie
ceived, Of which S2,7Gj had Lecn
sent to Ireland, aud there was
a balance OF S64l on hand aiier
dcduciing expenses. At a meeting
of the Central land lcague,in Brook
Ign, last night, it was reported that
Sl,O29 had recently been received
from various leagues.

Irish Land League ofhe Uni

Two members eff the Land League
and the American people A crisis
has teen reached in Ireland. 1t is
not the unexpected that has hap

leadership, capacity sufficient for
the time exists thoughtful, resoluie
men lead. If they are silenoed 9th
ers will leap to fill vacant places.
Ireland cries for Justice, The land
league is her voice. England must
build more jalls before the voice
can be stihed. To the outrage up
on the peoples representatives, to
the attempt to place Ireland upon
her knees, to beat and scourge her
before righting her wrongs, to the
arrest of brave Michael Dayitt, let
America answer in protest. An
swer the bonfire flames on all the
hills in that olden-time when the
elict went forth; so now, in every
American city let the fire Of your
Indignation blaze. Call public meet
ings everywhere at once. AS you
save the Irish people from death
and raise them from dispair, show
that your sympathy is still with
them in their grand struggle for JUS
tice. Members of the league knit
closer together. Add to your num-
bers, from new branches in every
place where len friends of the cause
can he found. Place yourselves in
immediate communication with u.s..
Ireland moves fast to her supreme
crisis, and we must be close togeth-
