Hon. s. w. Cox was nearly Frustrated
to-day by receiving word from the superin-
tendant OF his ostrich farm that the terrible
snow storm yesterday and last night had
killed five of his young ostriches. The os-
trich is not capable OF standing much cold
weather, and Mr.. Cox knowing this, had
prepared large cave for their use during
cold weather. 1t appears that yesterday
five OF the young BIRDS were accidentally
left on the outside and the storm soon
killed them. This is a heavy loss to Mr..
Cox, but it will perhaps prove a valuable
lesson to his superintendent in the future.
