cannot fail to make us admire our climate
here in Delaware. We fancy that we have
had a hard winter, anl are often disposed
to grumhle about it and envy the hhlmy
gales and orange groves Of Florida. But
up in Minnesota and Dakota there has
been an almost continuous snow blockade
for three months past, with deeper snow
drifts than were ever known before. The
painful impression seems to exist that
when the snow has disappeared it will be
found that there has been great loss ot
life. 1t is claimed that many remote settle
ments have been literally buried under
the avalanches of snow, and the inhabitants
have perished from cold and hunger. 1t is
said that in the cattle ranges between the
Missouri river and the Rocky mountains
over 100000 head of cattle have per

100000. In the country between the Platte
and the NiOhrara rivers the loss of stock
from severe weather has been from 25 TO 40
per cent. The cattle were mostly killed
during the terrible "blzzards" that have
repeatedly swept over those sections, hut
many perished from want Of food. Th"
people in these regions have now before
their eyes the new danger Of floods from
