Dakota and Minnesota. was en- route
from Brandon to Winnipeg, distance
of one hundred aud eighty miles by rail
and was caught in a snow blockade
which lasted eight days and kept us in a
situation not likely again to occur. The
storm was so severe that relief trains
could not leave Winnipeg, and a couple
of us who haG the long snow shoes used
on the prairies trsmped to and from
farm houses a couple of miles distant for
provisions for the passengers. The snow
plows were of no use, and in desperate
attempt to cut way through the drifts,
the engine jumped the track and came
to grief The train was pulled back
from the debris by an engine in the rear
and the next morning we found our
selves separated from the wreck by deep
drifts, some of them fifteen feet high.
Night after night passed; the coal and
wood ran short; two of the cars were
abandoned by the passengers, and, to
economize fuel, we were crowded into
the Two remaining cars. The sleeping
accommodations imp,'Ovised were very
amusing. Fancy roosting two in sim
gle seat, with your knees doubled up to
your chin; or lying like sardines, four in
a double seat; or propped on top of the
back of the seats, which were turned up
and brought together so as to form
sort of double deck. Shovels had been
working day and night, but there we're
too few Of them; md at last the ass e =
gers went to work, and from nire a. nc.
to five D. m. pitched the snow with
IL light and main, and succeeded in clear
ing the track. In order 10 pass the OBJ
stacle of the wrecked engine, we raised
old rails, got It's and laid new side
track on the hard snow, and our cars
were safely showed forward. Shovels
from.Winnipeg had succeeded, with the
snow plow, in reaching us, and we were
soon on nur way. The effect of this
exposure upon the health of many of
the passengers was remarkably good.
One Clergyman who had come out from
England for some affection of the throat,
was determined to do his share of the
shoveling. He had very thin moccasins
on his feet, and during the day, as there
was a warm wind they were v ct through.
He never expected to see England again
but that one days work cured him effect
ually. Other persons suffering from
throat and lung affections have not since
been troubled. One would suppose the
conditions were Just those to provoke

ESCAPED THE ROPE.

One hot day in July, 1850, herdsman
was moving his cattle to new rancho
further north, near Helena, Texas, and
passing down he banks of stream, his
herd became mixed with other cattle
that were grazing in the valley, and
some of them failed to be separated. The
next day about noon band of dozen
mounted Texan rangers overlook the
herdsman and demanded their cattle,
which they said were stolen.
1t was before the days of law and
court houses in Texas, and one had better
kill five men than to steal a mule worth
five dollars, and the herdsn an knew it
He tried to explain, but they told him
to cut il short. He Offered 10 turn over
all the cattle not his own, but they
laughed at this proposition, and hinted
that they usually confscated the whole
herd, and left the thief hanging on 9
tree as u warning to others in like cases
The poor fellow was completely over

The Generals belligerent attitude is due

Boston are deeply interested and in the cap

Butler seems elated by the knowledge that

BLOODHOUNDS STILL USED.
