Western Union Telegraph Company has no
wires between this city and Philadelphia,
thus shutting of all Southern points. The
Associated Press, Washington circuit, which
usually runs from this city to Philadelphia,
Baltimore and Washington direct, is today
made up by way of Buffalo, Cleveland ind
Pittsburgh. The storm along the coast all
the way from Hatteras has been very vic.
lent, and it is feared that many marine dis.
asters have occurred, although il will be
SOM days before reports will begin to come
in, as the storm would drive the vessels of
shore. The wires to Sandy Hook are all
down, but the last message received from
that place stated that the highest wind ever
experienced by the observer there was rag.

In this harbor 10 canal boats were sunk.
lt is believed that no lives were lost. One of
the most disastrous accidents which has ever
occurred to a tow of bnrges happened about
2 o'clock Sunday morning in the lower bay.
Out of O feet OF IL barges only three were
saved. All the rest went to the bottom with
their eargoes, which consisted of coal. On
nearly every barge there were women aud
children, and although as yet il Is not known
that any we're lost, it is little short of q
miracle that anybody on board escaped
alive.
River travel is entirely suspended. The
steamer City of Hudson WINS beaten into
Cattskills creek. and is frozen fast. Down the
river passenger and freight boats are laid in
for shelter from the storm. Ferry boats and
transfer barges are reported sunk.

from twenty-seven to thirty pounds
of hay. A ton would last 66A DAYS

With ensilage, one acre will furnish
eighteen tons. So there is iced for

months. do not state this on some

gentlemen, whose statements were
made in the presence of hundreds, one
acre ofensilage viii support nine cows,
against only one COW on hay. This
comparison is u startling one, and
the difference is too great to be over.

hay or ensilage may be, in the first
place, the proportion of eight or
hlhe to one represents sums that can.
not be rcconciled.
