GERMANTC LOSS

Prussian List Now 877.1O7 Men
Austria Calls Landstrum of the
Glass of 1875.

LONDON, Jan. l9.-The Exchange
Telegraph 5 Vienna correspondent in al
despatch sent via Copenhagen says
that lilo Austrian casualty lists. which
do not include the losses Of the last
two months, give the following totals:
Officers killed, 2263; officers wounded,
$3.50; officers captured, 62S; total, H.
ST..
Men killed, 40,S27; men wounded,
23l 100; men captured, 9502: total,
PSI ,489; grand tot@l, 293,360.
The last five Prussian casualty lists,
according to the correspondent, give
the names of 36,764 officers and men
killed, wounded or missing, making the
total Prussian losses as disclosed in
1876 lists 877107.
These losses of Prussia and Aus
tria make together 1.170467 men. But
this is far below the actual total. The
BaVarian, Saxon, Wurtcmburp and
Baden losses have not been made pub,
lie
The states Of Germany outside Prus-
STA contain about 100000 of the &C.
000,000 population of the German En-
pire i'll Europe. Under the universal
CONSUMPTION of the Empire they would
furnish troops i'll about the same pro
portion.
It is known that the losses of the
several BayaGiau corps and the Saxon
army have been heavy. If their loss
es are of equal proportion with the
Prussian losses in the same period. the
figure would be approximately 525, 900
| This would give in round numbers. :
! 400 600 as the total German losses.
| If the Austrian total given i'm the
| despatch includes the losses Of the Hun
garian portion of the dual monarchy
| the addition to be made for the last
| two months Will bring in tens OF

These were largely from the Huuga
rian provinces. The Austrian force,
have also lost heavily in the recent
| fighting with the Russians. Heucc til,
Austrian total is now practically 500,
600.
The German and Austro- Hungarian
losses reach very nearly the amazin.
total Of 100000 men. This does no
mean all these men are lost to the ar
mics. for more than half the wound

war, where the transport and mcdic;,
service are the best. return to til

1t is considered doubtful if the Gen

board of health and the order which
WAS received lay the county officials
practically states HAT the building
must hc vacated.
Assistant Judge G.. \. Perry of

with Town Representative y. +. Hol-
lister and other officials relative TO
what steps must bc taken to carry ont
the order of lhe state board.
The county building which contains
the county Offices and Jail. has been
the subject Of severe criticism by the
state board and the structure had been
practically condemned on previous oc-
casions but the recommendations had
not been accompanied with an order
as in the present instance.
In it's report concerning the jail the
board says: 1.-The Jail rs it stands is
entirely unfit for human habitation.
There are many farms i'm Vermont
where cattle. are better housed and
cared for. 1t is Il disgrace to the state
and especially to the county RESPONSE
bile for il that such an institution as
this is tolerated in the state.
This is the more remarkable i'm
view Of tho fact that its condition has
been known TO the people of that
county for AT least five years through
tile previous report of this board.
I'm View OF what is stated above,
concerning the site of this count
building aud the building itself, no
| changes or Improvements which eau
be made will furnish 4 building prop
/ crly suited TO the county 5 needs.

Aurora Visible in Daytime.

An aurora seen in the daytime is
described by H. B. Collier in the
Journal of the Royal Astronomical
Society of Canada. The writer was at
Viking, Alberta, in latitude SO de-
grees north, and observed the aurora
half an hour before sunset on April
%. Its visibility was due to the fact
that a cloud hung above the horizon,
serving as a curtain of screen against
which the aurora could be seen. The
observer stated that numerous
bright, hazy, milklike streamers, ap-
pearing to have their source just be-
low the cloud, darted upward, rising
about Is degrees"
