tains provision for paying the town clerk
of New Haven for ''time spent in deciphering
those portions of the town records which are
partly or soaozly tl1egi6le."
Winter began at st. Petersburg in Novem-
Der with its old time severity, but of late the
weather there has been strangely warm, SO
that fears are expressed for the health of the
inhabitants. st. Petersburg is well known
to be an unhealthful place, owing to its stu
alton. During the past twelve years the
deaths have outnumbered the births by more
than 1000, and should this state of affairs
continue through "A years the present popu-
lation (nearly 900, OOO) would be extinguished.
The city, however, receives large accessions
to its population from without, for the same
returns which give these figures show that in
the same period the population had increased
by nearly 200, 900.
The Massachusetts House Committee on
Election Laws have reported bill providing
that when election returns are incomplete or
erroneous the Governor and Council may
order new copy of the recount to be made,
according to the law for the original return.
This new return must be made by the city or
town clerk within seven days of the date of
the order, and, if it is adjudged correct, it
shall have the force of correct original re-
turn. A penalty of not over 5000 may be
imposed for neglect of the order. After ex-
animation of all the returns and the determi-
nation of the result of the election the Sec
rs oI, oil Oh - lo,1,
newspaper in the State, and to at least one
| newspaper in counties where no daily is pub
lished, an abstract of the returns of votes
| and statement of all cases where corrected
returns have been received, showing the var
iation from, the first return. All copies of
records shall be open to public inspection in
the Office of the Secretary of State.
| Commenting upon the inference of a mag
azine writer that beyond the cost of paper
and ink the receipts of newspaper establish
ments are mostly profit, the Hartford Coatr-
ant very truly says The fact is that paper
and ink represent only a small part of the
cost of the newspaper. The expenses of
telegraph, news collecting, type-setting,
pAAheAhSi SNeAhBJ Soo ASht3 oeS's Shos
go to make up the cost of daily newspaper
in these days are monstrous. Few other ar
ticles that are sold embody such a large pro-
portion of labor to material as the newspaper
does. It is equivalent to saying that there
are few things SO hard to do as to get out a
good newspaper, since it is in 80 slight de-
gree mechanical product and 50 largely de-
ponds for all its merit upon the efforts of in
dividuals. That is the true way to look at it.
The man who thinks he can sell S16.4s
worth of paper and ink as 800 worth of
newspaper by merely calling it SO has an ex-
perience before him and will leave bank
account behind him-a long way behind, too.
One argument effectively used in favor of
the building of the Canadian Pacific railroad,
by syndicate of capitalists, at enormous
expense, was that it would furnish employ
ment to all the good engineers and contract

THE LATE BLIZZARD.

ST. PAUL, March 30-Ever since the
great snew storm and blizzard of last Sat
urday began, scattered rumors of loss of
life on the frontier have been received in
st. Paul 1t is difficult to get at the exact
facts, as persons best Informed both here
and at remote railway stations from which
the news comes, are interested in covering
them up. 1t is certain, however, that there
has been much suffering and many deaths.
The storm came after several days of bright
and warm weather, which tempted settlers
to leave their houses to start On Journeys,
to look over their farms, and which caused
the seasons immigration to set IN at a very
early date The blizzard extended from
Southern Dakota to Manitoba, and reports
of suffering come from points on the Hast
ing & Dakota, Winona & St. Peter, st.
Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba, and North
ern Pacific lines
/ One man was found frozen to death on
the prairie near St. Vincent. Two or three
similar cases are reported near Brecken-
ridge. Several narrow escapes of families
that got out of fuel are reported from diff
ferent places.

the officer died on Tuesday. He was going

coal miners convention has conclued its

was passed to the effect that as rents and

wages unfair. The President was instruct

thereon. These resolutions are in consid-

per bushel for mining. The miners agree
not to strike for mere than four cents nor
for change in the present.
