SUPPOSILD Mtatnits..—Sarah Alice Ashman, a girl 12' years of age, has been missing from her home at Beftton, two miles from Leeds, since the 3rd inst. There is reason to believe she has been murdered. The police, aided by bloodhounds, have searched a wood near the residence of the girl's parents without any clue being obtained. When last seen, it is stated, a man was ill-using the girl. Winter has *et in with unusual severity. A Friday's telegram from the North of Scotland states that snow had been falling in scene parts of the Highlands for three days, the average depth being three feet, but where drift had taken place the roads were entirely blocked. The Highland railway is being kept open by the constant use of snow ploughs. In West Sussex many thousand acres of land are under water, and a man and his horse have been drowned while attempting to pass through the inundated districts. Much land is also flooded in the neighbourhood. 'fits
