started up which soon increased to u
gale that contin ued throughout The
night, and all day yesterday tho wind
reached something near the dimen-
sions Of a hurricane. This was sue
ceeded by fierce snow storm which
commenced about o'clock last even
ing and continued for an hour or
more, covering the ground to the
depth of several inches. Trains are

Native Peculiarities.

The Governor of Alaska, in his an
nual report to the Secretary of the
Interior, says: 1.-THE natives become
devotedly piaus and swear like pf-
rates." The Norristown Herald says
this is queer idea. In this part Of
the country the natives can swear
like pirates without becoming pious.
The difference in the temperature
may have something to do with it.

From Rnby Valley.

A letter from VIM. Snow dated Ru-
by Valley, Feb. 18th, says:
81 arrived here last night and
found the valley nearly clear Of snow
and stock doing better. a few range
stock pulled through but not many
cattle. Lots of horses died within
the past three weeks. Griswold rode
four days last week and found about
100 dead horses, and said he saw in
the neighborhood Of 600 dead cattle
out in the valley, not counting any
thing that died around the fields"
The above presents a rather gloomy
aspect for that locality, but wo
trust that the Spring roundups will
show q moro favorable state Of af-
fairs.
