The Power or u SnOwdrIfe.

The Northwestern Railway Company has
spent over three hundred thousand dollars
in the fight against snow since October last.
Thirty-four immense snow ploughs have had
plenty Of work, and these have been packed
up tremendously by from two to six locomo-
tives each. The might Of these ploughs and
the great power Of q snoWdrift may be esti-
mated from the facts that one plough weigh
ing $4,000 pounds, ballasted By 8O,000
pounds Of railway iron and driven BY six 10
comotives, attacked 9 snoW-chocked cutting
but was defeated. The drift was SO feet
high. When the Workmen, after the tremen-
dous charge, caught . glimpse Of the i'm
mense plough, they found that il, with all its
1873, 900 pounds had been repelled as if it were
q feather, and that it had rolled disconsolate-
" over the drift and had lodged against some
forest trees, where It proposes to remain IN
til summer. From one cut 3324 900 cubic
yards of snow were taken, but in eight hours
the wind had piled it up full again. Nine
thousand men have been employed from
time to time during the winter az shoyellers.

number of companies; we should be contelt
with one company and not ask too much.
MI. Todd was in favor Of the resolution,
but before it was voted on he wished to hear
the report Of committee and moved that it be
tabled.
The motion was put and the resolution was
tabled.
The committee then reported the following
resolution:
Be it Resolved; That we, the citizens Of
Fort Benton and Choteau county, in mass
meeting assembled, do earnestly protest
against a discontinuance at this point Of q
military post, and for these reasons:
l.. That during this past winter and spring
the d~epredations of Indians have been very
great, and unless some protection be afforded
the settlers in our surrounding country, the
danger to life and property will be alarming.
Z. That such protection must and can
only be afforded by military at Fort Benton,
the natural centre of the radius Of country
most traversed by the roaming Indians in
their return from the Musselshell and judith
country to the British possessions in the
north.
8. That by retaining the troops at this
point the Indians are, in so far as the military
has been able, held under a restraint which,
though inadequate to effectually check great
damage already done, has been of material
aid in protecting the stock interests Of our
county from incalcalable losses.
4. That the only redress which our citi-
zens wish to seek is the effective aid Of US.
troops, insomuch as our civil authorities are
and will be utterly powerless to afford the
protection requisite, and upon the military
alone do we wish to call for security to our
lives and property. That we respectfully |
represent that the presence of troops in Fort
Benton is an imperative necessity, without
which our settlers feelinsecure in their homes
and in danger Of their herds, and we do ear
nestly pray that the order to break up this
post may be at once revoked, and the military
allowed to remain in protection Of our lives,
our property and our welfare.
That in the event of a withdrawal Of the
troops the nearest point of protection will be
Shaw, at q distance Of about IS miles
from Benton, and at too great a distance to
respond to q call for aid in case of an emer-
gency.
A debate ensued over the provisions en-
in the resolutions, and the points
covered in the previous discussion again re-
terated.
1t was finally moved to put the adoption of
resolution to a rising vote, which was
done, only one dissenting.
Mr.. Tattan moved that a committee of
hree be appointed to raise funds to pay the
of telegraphing resolutions to the War
Department.. Carried.
The same committee which drafted the
'esolutions was appointed, namely Messrs.
Tattan and Hunt.
Mr.. Tattan moved to adjourn, to again
when the reply of the Department
vas received. Adjourned.

Something like g. Tragedy.

Neapolitan society, says the London 7ele
graph, has lately been much exercised by .
terrible ''tragedy in high life." For some
time past the Countess del Cigno, a lady Of
extraordinary beauty, has been VIGOROUSLY al
odds with her husband, 9 gentleman to whom
she had, at the urgent interest Of her family,
most unwillingly given her hand, her Leart
having been already bestowed upon q young
Austrian artist, who quilted Europe for
America on the day Of her marriage, only5re-
turning thence to Naples a few weeks ago.
He became, it would appear, a frequentg gu st
at the countess evening re~ceptions-a fact
which reached the ears Of Count del Cigno at
his club, where he spent the greater part of
his time, by night as we'll by day. One even
ing, just as the painter was issuing from the
doorway of the Palazzo del Cigno, the count
drove up to the chief entrance, and, while
%alighting from his carriage, noticed his wife
on the first floor balcony, waving her hand in
farewell to her old lover as he descended the
stone steps leading to the street. Without 9
moments hesitation the count drew a stiletto
from the breast pocket of his coat and buried
it to the hilt in the bosom of his rival, who
fell mortally wounded to the ground. AS Del
Cigno was getting into his carriage, however,
a bullet from the Aus1rian's revolver, fred as
it were in extremis, passed through his head,
killing him on the spot. Five minutes later
the artist also breathed his last. This hor-
rible encounter took place under the very
eyes Of the countess, upon whom the specta-
Gle Of her husbands and lovers violent death
