Terribly Cold In the West.

Judge J. F. Kinney, agent of the
Yankton Sioux Indian Agency in Da-
kota, arrived at Nebraska City, Neb.,
the 21st, after being nine days on the
road. Five days were necessary for
the party to travel 80 miles, and the
thermometer, most of the time was
40 degrees below zero. The Judge
repeats that the loss of life in Dakota
has been greatly underestimated, as
the Dakota papers have tried to cover
it up. He describes the scene which
took place on board the cars. The
coal was running low; the passengers
were crowded into one car trying to
keep warm two babies persisted; the
mer discarded all the outer garments
they could spare and gave them to
the ladies and children they brought
mail sacks from the postal car and
wrapped the children up in them.
While at one station in Bonhomme
county 10 frozen bodies were brought
into the depot in one day. In that
county the list of the dead will reach
$50. The reports made at Yankton
Saturday of the loss of life throughout
the Territory figure up over lOOO.
The northern and central parts of the
Territory have not been heard from
fully. A number of curious incidents
are given in relation to the wanderers
who went out in the storm. Mrs.
Browning, of Turner county, went
from the house to the stable, dis
tgnce of 100 feet, and her body was
recovered Sunday seven miles from
home. Charles Dollinger, persisted
seven feet from his home. A woman
went out to care for her chickens anG
was found two miles from home. The
roads from the agency to Yakton are
lined with dead cattle, many farmers
losing all they had. One man los
over a hundred head. P. L. CLARK
and wife, of Y ankton county were driv
ing toward Yankton when the biz
zard struck them. The horses were
turned loose. Mr.. Clark took stra[
and fastened one end to Mrs. Clarl
and the other end to himself, turned
their backs to the wind and wondered
at random. They came to a hay
stack into which they burrowed anC
remained all night. In the morning
Mr.. Clark crawled out and proceeded
: to house. He was obliged to craw
: on his hands and knees, as his clothe
were frozen stiff. He reached tn
house and procured assistance to g
af4er Mrs. Clark, bnt she was deat
when found. William Relswag AM
hired man, living near Trip, froze t
death within 3 few feet of the stabl
to which they had gone to care 70

near Scotland, started to water thei

A VERY PROPER DECISION
Ross, who has been holding county
court in Orange county, rather start
led the bar and others in the court
room recently by decision in regard
to some liquor cases which were on
the calendar for trial. During the
call Of the docket in one of these
liquor cases the respondents counsel
said that he would have the bonds
called. Judge Ross inquired if the
respondent was in the State, and be-
ing told that he was, said that the
bonds might be called if the counsel
wished, but that mittimus would im-
mediately issue to bring respondent
into court, as it was the purpose of
the law to punish the offender, not to
license the offence. Were the bonds
called and forfeited and the respond
ent allowed to go clear, it would be
impossible ever TO get conviction of
q first offence in liquor selling, and
thus our prohibitory statute would OPP
crate merely as a license law. This
holding of Judge Ross, if adhered to-
will have a salutary effect, for it has
long been a custom in this and Other
counties to treat a forfeiture of his
bonds as sufficient penalty for respon
dents offence, so much so, indeed
that he has scarcely ever been rear
rested after his bonds have been paid
1t would seem then that the one thin!
necessary to make the prohibitory Law
operative is for the officers Of tn
law to carry out its provisions ant
penalties and the temperance PEG
pie generally thank Judge Ross 70

COOP TEMrLAR's WoRK.-The Ex-
ecutive Committee of the Grand Lodge
of Good Tcmplars have engaged Mr..
Lorin B. Kendall, of Clinton, Mass,
to work in the interests of the Order
during the winter. He has been in
Windham, Windsor, Orange, Wash
ington, Caledonia and Essex coun.
ties, the work being mostly in help
ing weak lodges and it is expected
that good results will follow. Deem
Der 31st, with the assistance of r. A
Hatch, of STAFFORD, he organized and
instituted a new lodge at Chelsea.
The lodge is unusually strong in the
character of its membership, is rapid
ly increasing in numbers and seems
likely to be one of the best lodges in
the State. Chaplain Lodge, of Bur-
lington, the oldest in the State, is
having a revival in interest and num-
bers. Irasburgh still holds the lead
with 131 members and Waitsfield
comes next with 1874. The reports
from different points in the State show
good degree of interest and it is ex-
pected that the reports for the quar-
ter ending Feb. 1st will give q decided
gain in numbers.

A. Storrs, of Randolph, exhibitor.
There were Is lots Of butter entered
that scaled over IS points, and seven

being the product of Jersey cows.
The subject of the organization of a
State Board of Trade to promote the
interest of the makers of creamery
butter was discussed by leading dairy
men at a meeting held in the Pavilion
Friday. The desirability of having
such an organization in Vermont was
fully considered, and it was decided to

The 2ath annual meeting of the

was held in Robinson's hotel at Bar
ton week before last, beginning at-s
a. NJ Tuesday and closing Friday eve
ming. There were three sessions
dav, a promenade concert Wednesday

Friday afternoons, and concerts on

ma Shepard, of Boston, who enjoys
the enviable reputation of being the
finest lady pianist in New England,
was the accompanist. Mr.. Harry
May, bass, of St. Jobnsbury, thrilled
his listeners with delight by his rich,
deep, powerful voice, which, if one
could select from any OF his solos,
was especially effective in the charac-
ter of Lord Edward in the operetta
''Fair Elem" in the farewell to wife
and child at home, "bringing to his
hearers the pathos of the situation of
immediate death at the hand of Zulus,
who were attacking the beleagued
fortress. Mr.. Conant, the tenor, was
unfortunately detained from attend
ing, and G. H. Prouty, Of Newport,
kindly filled his place. Misses Louise
Baldwin and Lillian G. Smith, of Bos-
ton, were the other soloists. Miss
Smith did especially we'll, having I'M
usual compass for contralto voice !;
her low tones were very fine indeed.
Miss Lizzie Gleason, of Boston, a
graduate of the Boston School of Or

morous selections. The chorus was
smaller than previous years. Posi-
blv the fact that the hall was a small
one may have deferred some from at

The Election at jackson, Miss.

The Independent condenses from
the Southwestern Christian AdUOcate
the following recital of the circum-
stances which preceded the recent
municipal election in Jackson, Miss,
in which the colored men were warned
away from the polls by threats, and
in consequence abstained from voting ::
ga young white man who had a
grudge against colored man, of
some months standing, on Christmas
eve gathered a crowd of his associ-
ates and with tin horns and fire-crack-
ers they followed him in the streets.
The young white blew the horn in the
negroes face, and the latter, who was
escorting a lady, bore the insulting
demonstration with patience until sew
eral large fire-crackers were dropped
across the arm of the young lady. The
negro then dismissed his escort and
stepped into butcher shop. He
picked up knife, with which, after
receiving three shots from the revolt
yer of his assailant, he nearly severed
the neck of the young white from the
shoulders. Both died in less than
two hours. This incident was used tc
form an infammabe indictment against

rightly draws the conclusion from the
report of State Inspector of Finance
Page that there are no anarchists in
Vermont. The Ledger remarks that
the figures indicate that about every
sixth person in the Green Mountain
State is depositor in the savings
bank with an average credit of $500
to each name. Gas socialism and
anarchy contend that property is rob-
berry," adds the Ledger, {" it is evident
that neither of these instances prevail

The bill which Ex-Gov. Stewart of
Vermont has introduced in Congress,
to provide for the extradition of GRIM
inals fleeing from one state to another
in the United States, is the result of
his studies in connection with the
governors of several states, or their
representatives, who met in New
York, last summer, in pursuance of a
call signed by Gov. Ormsbee, Gov.
Ames and others, to devise a uniform
system of laws and practice upon this
subject of increasing Importance.
Probably his bill embodies the conclu-
sions of those who met. His position
as member of the committee on the
judiciary, and his recognized weig ht
as one of the ablest lawyers in the
House, will probably enable him to
carry it through, Notwithstanding the
fact that he belongs to the party which
is in the minority. This is not a
political question.
