 ST. LOUIS, Jan. 17.-Reports from differ ent sections of Texas note the cessation of the blizzard, but the temperature is very low for that locality. The weather has been the most severe known for years and in many places it has been unprecedented. Bonham reports farmer named Hem ry Williams frozen to death while on his way home and good many cattle perish ed. Cleburne reports Henry Corbin, a negro, and many cattle frozen. Austin, the capital, reports the Colorado river frozen over for the frst time on record and ice four to six inches thick. Reports from the ranges are meagre but it is believed the loss of cattle and sheep on the prairies has been very great. A large number have died in this vicinity. Corsi- cana says the snow and steet has been unpre- cedented and travel is greatly impeded. An attempt to drive herd of cate to Ennis, 20 miles distant, resulted in losing 250 of them. Stock froze to death in the streets. Sherman reports that meagre advice from the Pan Handle are that many cattle have been frozen to death. Terrell says there are twelve thousand cattle on the pastures around that town and many have died from cold. Cattle men have suffered severely for two Months past by bad weather and have been at great expense feeding stock. Several failures have occurred.
 Colorado in the western part of the State says cattle have drifted badly and it is be- ieved many have perished. The sheep on the prairies have suffered greatly and it is feared human lives have been lost at the camps. Belton reports that many cattle on the range in that vicinity have died. Gainesville reports that Tom Jackson, a negro, was frozen to death on the prairie and Bob Smith, a com panion, was badly frozen, his feet hands and ears burst open and he will prob ably die. News comes from every part of northern Texas of unheard of suffering among the people and wholesale destruction among cattle, many of which were frozen to death under good shelter. The effects of this weather will cripple the cattle interest it's effects upon growing cereals and the fruit for this year will prove most disastrous.
