A COSTLY

An eastern exchange says the North
western States have been buried in snow
for months, but the s~everest storm OF the
season has just come upon them. The
snow is three feet deep in Michigan, Wis.,
~consin, Illinois and other parts of the
Northwest. Business men of New York
had much to say Of the loss of 500, GOO a
day as the result Of the snow blockade Of
important business streets a few weeks
age. The loss to New York from the Sc
verify of the Winter, however, is insig-
n~iicant in comparison with that suffered
by the Northwest. The snow has not,
as far as can now be ascertained, injured
the crop prospect of next Summer, but
the destruction of cattle has been terrible.
In places where herds have often grazed
throughout every month Of the year the
snow has buried the grass this season,
and hunger and cold have killed a great
number of cattle. In some Of the Terri
tories and the States adjoining them it is
estimated that not less than one-third of
the cattle have persisted, and it is feared
that as many more will die before the re-
tnrn of warm weather. Herdsmen have
probably learned a lesson which will pre-
vent their entering upon another Winter
without a stock of hay sufficient to feed
their cattle whenever severe weather pre-
vents the animals from obtaining their
own food by grazing. But the lesson has
been costly, and many a herdsman will be
made too poor to profit by it. The de-
struction of cattle makes this one Of the
costliest Winters the country has ever
known

resided. When finished they we're

ment was refused until a duplicate set
was made for nothing. While he was
preparing the duplicate set they
tried to swindle him out of the original
set. Failing in their first attempt,
they had him arrested on a trumped
up charge and hurried him before an
illegal tribunal, which committed him
to prison and gave bis plans to one of
the city officials. Coffin communicated
with our Consul at Vera Cruz and our

before they arrived, with the cool
statement, after several days impris-
onment, that it was all a mistake. He
has fled a claim for damages with the

PARIS, December 26.-0ur st.
Petersburg correspondent telegrsphs:
To arrive at the mouths Of the Lena
tho boats of the shipwrecked Jean
nette must have pushed between New
Siberia and tho Island of Fadievskoi,
which is inhabited only during the
summer by nomads, who arrive at the
close of winter in sledges drawn by
dogs. Further on in her course was
lille Petite and the island Of Stolbovoi.
The distance is about five hundred
Iailes from the locality Of the ship
wreck to the mouths Of the Lena.
These mouths are situated in the most
dreary aud desolate part of the CON
fines of Northern Siberia. The whole
coast was last visited and described
by Lieutenant Pierre ADjou In 1923.
Previous to that these vast regions,
occupying a distance Of hundreds of
miles along the coast, were explored
in 1875 and 1876 by Lieutenant
Prontschischeff, and at their furthest
extremities by Lieutenant Dimitri
Lapteff in 1893. The place where
boat No. 8 landed is situated between
the graves of Lieutenant Lassinius,
~ho perished in 1875 with thirty five
Of his companions, and that Of Lieu
tenant PrOntschischtff and his vile,
who perished in 1876. From this point
to Yakutsk the distance is more than
a thousand miles, through a desert
country completely destitute Of popu-
lation."

CAPTAIN John II. Freeman may be
ever 50 innocent with regard to bond
speculationsi he may not have bribed
anybody, we have no idea that he did;
he may not have known that it was
done; possibly it was not done at all,
but there is one thing he cannot deny
after this, and it will cling to
him even when he goes to
his far-off rancho in Texas
He is a genial, good hearted fellow.
and a true friend when he proposes to
be one at all; he means what he says.
and his word is as good as his bond in

the fact remains confessed and un
