BURIED IN THE SNOW. Emily Black
man, woman about sixty years of age,
who had made it her home with different
families in Williston, and who had not
been seen since the fore part of last Jan
uary, was found dead Saturday in a
swamp in Essex by a party who were
searching for her. She was laying upon
one side with her clothes intact and her
head completely covered with her shawl.
She had one of her rubbers in her hand
and her knitting work in her pocket. No
satchel or bundle, with $40 in money,
which it was supposed she had with her,
was found. The flesh from her head and
face had been much eaten, probably by
mice. The deceased was a respectable
maiden lady, small of stature and badly
detormed; and had been engaged in SELL
ing albums and books. She was last seen
at j. III. Ransom's in Essex the 9th of
January last. where she called at dusk
and inquired the way to 60 across lots
from there to family living on the South
road leading from Essex Centre to Jeri-
cho. She started in the direction pointed
out, and while some think she got lost
and was frozen to death, others point to
the absence of her valise and money as
conclusive evidence of foul play. Her re-
mains were taken to Jericho, where flu
neral was held. 1t is understood that the
deceased had several thousand dollars in
the savings bank. and that she has two
| brothers in New York city, who are In
good circumstances.

A GROUNDLESS SCARE.

A writer in the La Sale Dem-Press re-
wives the cold rot against the Hennepin
and Illinois ship canal, that it will turn
the current of the Chicago river this way,
and thereby "empty the entire sewage of
Chicago-mllions of tons of filth-down
along the narrow, sluggish Des PLANES
and Illinois rivers, resulting inevitably
in such pollution, disease and death as
must render the country uninhabitable
for wide distance along the banks of
said stream"
A little reflection will show that there
is no foundation for any such scare.
What is sewageY What is 9Th? What
is dirt? A few mineral elements, which,
dumped into water, by the action Of sun
shine and air, are resolved into their ma
tive elements-one part sinking to the
bottom as mere earth, the other passing
off into the atmosphere in the form of
gas, both harmless if left free to be
manipulated in natures own laboratory.
AT present the sewage of Chicago passes
into the Chicago river and is confined
there, except what little passes into the
lake or is pumped into the canal. If this
sewage is such deadly poison, now is it
that all the inhabitants "for wide dis.
lance along the banks of Chicago river
are not poisoned? Yet the average
health of Chicago is about eQuel to that
Of any other city in the country And if
all this filth, confined to such narrow
limits, is so innocuous, how can it become
dangerous by being spread over so wide
a surface and exposed to as much add-
tional sunshine as it would be in passing
along the whole length of the enlarged
canal to Joliet and then three hundred
and fifty miles down the Illinois river ,
The simple truth is, all the deleterious or
poisonous properties of the sewage will
have passed of in the form of harmless
gas before the waters of Chicago river
get twenty miles outside the oiiy limits
the rest, as an earthly sediment, having
settled on the bottom.
1t is true that this sewage can become
the source of endless pcstilentiai poison
by being so massed and confined as
not to be exposed to the free action of
sunshine and air. Thus the Ogden
ditch" may get SO full that sunshine and
air can only reach part of it, the rest of
the confined gas becoming mixed with
and poisoning the water; or it NAV be
forced into the air in such mass as to fill
it with stencil, and thus poison it. Or,
as often happens in winter, it may be
covered over with and confined under the
ice. and then il mixes with and poisons
the water, and unquestionably, as it sew.
eral times has done along the Illinois
river, kills the fish. But to avoid this il
is only necessary to do what was done
last winter-keep the ice broken and the
water exposed to the sun and air in the
ieep cut from Bridgeport to Lockport.
The canal is Of SO much Importance as . |
