have occurred in Wisconsin, Michigan and
the provinces OF Ontario, Canada, where the
ground is frozen five to eight feet in depth,
not one burial has been made. Corpses are
therefore, necessarily placed in vaults or
snow and sand is scattered over them.
A dispatch from Buffalo says: Three hun
dred dead bodies are piled up FIVE tiers high
in the vaults there. Cleveland is even more
distressed and an epidemic is feared.
Toledo has not had burial for fifteen
weeks, though two attempts were made to
blast the soil with dynamite. All of Lucas
county will be digging in the sand after the
first ten days thaw.
Michigan is taking care Of her dead, but
friends of diseased citizens will be nervous
for two months to come.
Dispatches from Wisconsin cities, re-
ceived tonight, reveal like condition, but
there is no undue excitement.
The Canada peninsula opposite here has
been remarkably healthy this winter, but
nevertheless thousands Of deaths have oc-
CURED, and not one burial can be made
until spring.

More Emigration to Kansas.

On December 9Th, trunk belonging to
Miss Louie Mitchell, a young lady who had
been staying at the house OF William Forbes,
near Brighton. was broken into and two gold
rings distracted. Nothing was seen of the
rings until a couple of days ago. when Miss
Mitchell ran across the missing articles IN
Hoffman & Co.'s jewelry store. Here che
learned tnat the rings had been brought in BY
William Forbes himself. Forbes was ar
rested Thursday, and released on bail
of $50, furnished by his grandmother,
Mrs. Shippes, until bis trial, which was set
for 2 O'Clock yesterday afternoon. Forbes
failed to show up at that time, and, on in-
quiry, it was found that be had forged his
grapdmother's name to pension vouchers to
the amount of $23, had stolen an ovsrcoat,
and skipped to Kansas. Westward the tide
of emigration takes its way" FORBES has
doubtless been caught in the rush and carried

The greedy eyes of the nations Of the
earth have been fixed upon Miss Congo, Of
Africa. She is the beautiful blonde heir
ess Of immense wealth which she keeps
locked up in hidden Golfers, the keys Of
which she seems to have carelessly mis-

all through the recent courting match,
that Uncle Sam had possession of the ear
of the sable Congo belle and was compla'
Gently intent upon the sure conquest Of the
maiden's heart. 1t has been observed also
that the young lady smiled at him encour
agingly behind her fan. II Uncle San
