section got stuck in the snow at Wall
cut, it being drifted badly at that place,
and section two, which was running a
short distance behind, came up with it's
two powerful engines to pull out the
first section. Roadmaster Dobins was
standing in front of the head engine of
the first section. He was superintend-
ing the work when an avalanche of
snow came down without warning upon
the two trains. sweeping him away. He
was completely covered by the flying
mass of snow and was carried distance
Of several thousand feet and entirely
across the Ten Mile river and into the
Rio Grande tracks, where he managed
to extricate himself with great difficulty
One of his knees was badly sprained
but otherwise he was not injured: The
tremendous volume of snow piled itself
entirely over the four engines, putting
out their fires, and also buried com
pletely the mail car and flanger The
weight of the snow crushed in the from

Mail Agent George Roberts and Baggage

PROVIDENCE, r. l., March S.-The
supreme court has given decision

his formulas. The company brought
suit, and, after long consideration, a
majority of the full bench has decided
that it is entitled to the full benefit of
all the discoveries, and that Woolworth

"why, he married the cook."-Judge.

The Yarmouth IN. 81 Times repor is
that while two men of Port La Tour
were out fishing recently they saw,
about two hundred yards away from
them, an immense, Strengthening fish
about forty feet long, having side fms
about seven feet long which appeared
like wings. The fish was about the
color of a whale. but the side fms we're
white underneath. When it raised
itself out of the water, with it's
side fins extended, it looked like gil
gantic bird. Near it's tail on the back
it had an upright fin somewhat in the
form of sword. Its general color was
like that of a whale, but it did not blow
as the whale and porpoise do. 1t was
evidently after herring, as it came up in
the midst of shoal Of them. They saw
the fish several times, and therefore
had good opportunities to observe it.
They never saw any thing like it before.
The men are said to be entirely trust
worthy.
