Texas has a surplus of s1,72j,O0O
in her Treasury, and the press of
that State wants an extra session of
the Legislature called to reduce tax
es. Texas is about the only State
which has a surplus, and if she
doesn't want to get rid of it right
away she will not insist upon an ex-
ira session of her Legislature. II
her Legislature is convened it will
likely stay so as long as there is a
dollar with which to pay members
their compensation.

The snow in the mountain regions
of Pennsylvania it deep enough for
Dakota or Montana. On Friday last
between Stockertown and Nazareth,
the snow banks through which cut
had been made, were as high as the
tops of the locomotives and passenger
cars. 1t was between these towns that
two engines were completely bur
led in drift for three days. 1t
will be at least a month before all
the snow is shoveled away from this
road. To get it away the force of
laborers has been largely increased.
The snow along a stretch of four
miles Of this road is from twelve to
to twenty feet deep, and the cut
through it looks like a cut through a
high hill. This must be removed to
prevent slides or the flooding of the
track in case of thaw.
