THE SENATE REVENUE RILL.
The Senate Revenue Committee will x>robably
repo: t back their bill early next week. It hits
’been gone over by the committee, and Messrs.
Madden *k Burd. The hitler has made various
efforts to modily the harsher provisions of that
bill, and to make it conform to the principles of
common sense in those sections where it at pres
ent departs from Them. But he has been unsuc
cessful in about every instance. Owing to the
•changes in the House hill.it does not now differ
materially from the Senate measure.
CHICAGO MILITARY OCCUPATION—MESSAGE FROM
TUEOOVEUNnIL
The second message of the Governor on Chicago
military occupation was received in both Houses
to-day, and in tho S-nutc was sent to the Judici
■«4ry committee, and in the other body to a special
Committee, of which Mr. is Chairman.
WOMAN’S RIGHTS.
The House this morning reconsidered the bill
granting leave to women to engage in trades and
j)rort*.s.'.j«2is on the ground that it exposed woman
to militia and jury service. Tho bill does not nec
essarily bear that construction, and if it did no
Sheriff could summon them, and no militia officer
could call them out, and Ihoiaw would bo opera
tive. But the fears of members that tho Legisla
ture might pass a bill making women into men,
and that the law would operate and society be
revolutionized was so great that a reconsidera
tion curried. The real object of the bill was. It is
assexted, to allow the appointment of womcnas
Notaries Public.
COOK COT'NTT APPORTIONMENT.
WVV4 VVI
There seems to be symptoms of something like
harmony in the Cook County delegation on the
apportionment question, and nearly ail of them
have -signed a paper agreeing to support any plan
the delegation will agree on. .Now ail thus re
mains is for the delegation to agree. It is not
likely that many county members will, under any
circumstances, support Mason’s plan,by which tho
county towns are greatly cut up.

NE'v York, Dec. 9.—The bank statement is re

THE STOCK MARKET,
with few exceptions, was strong, aud advanced
all day, the features being Chios, Lake Shore,
Pacific Mail, Centrals, Erie, aud Union Pacific.
The market stood up full in the face of the un
favorable bank statement, but it may have been
stimulated artificially, in order to enable the

however, prices were off a little in some stocks.

At tho close, the market was better for Minnesota

The wheal market was heavy, though holders were
firm. The market was strong for spring at tho
close, with a moderate inquiry for milling and
export, the lirmness of holders checking the lat

demand was chiefly for export, though fair for
the trade. New is much wanted.

SUPPRESSION or THE INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY
PARADE
At a meeting of the Board of Police to-day, the
following resolutions were adopted:
Jicsolrut, That the Superintendent be directed
to notify the oflicers of the International Societies
of this city that the proposed parade of tho socie
ties on Sunday next will not be permitted ou that
day. The parade, or demonstration, if made,
must be on some other day of th j week than Sun
day. Further, the Superintendent is directed to
take the necessary measures to prevent tho par
ade on .Sunday, in case the societies persist in
parading on that day.”
VoitK, Dec. i*.-—Tlie members of the Inter
national Society to-day denounced the order pro
lubitingtheirpaiado to-morrow. Theyasked the
Governor at, Albany, by telegraph, if they could
puraue, but no response had been received up to

the specific objection of the Police Commissioners
was ou account of the day. a motion whs car
ried to have a parade ‘>n Christmas day. Sub-
FKlutnily it was decided to refer tho matter

of the police authorities, expressed his determina

CONNOLLY'S CASE.
Alrant, December 9.—-In liie opening of the ar
gument before Judge Lamed, of tho Supreme
Court, on an order to show cause why tho order
for the arrest of Bichard B. Connolly, ex-Comp
troller, should not bo vacated or his ball boud
reduced, Hon. S. G. Courtney, of tbo counsel for
Connolly, read an alii davit of his
client in response to the afbd wit
of Beckham, on which the arrest was made. Con
nolly in the main denies the allegations in Feck-
Lam's affidavits, uud secs forth that he did not
appoint Green collector througa any conscious
nessof guilt, or that he was a party to any con
spiracy or collusion. Ho also positively denies
that he ever thought of leaving
theSlaio or country. Mr. Srraban, on behalf of
the people, read an affidavit of the Chief Clerk in
the Comptroller's ofliee, uud others, showing that
Connolly and tho late County Auditor, Watson,
were atcusiomcd to hold private consultations.
Other affidavits wire also read, showing
irregularity of the accounts iu the
Comptroller’s ollice. Mr. O’Conor produced
a portion ot the vouchers which were not stolen,
known as the Keyset* claims, uud to be torgeries,
for ttie inspection of the Judge. Mr. Courtney
then pi oceeded with his argument, saying tho
piosecutiou had given no evidence of guilt against
Connolly. They have uot shown tuat he has
got a single cent of tho 5a.000.000 al
leged to Lave been stolen. Taerc was
nut n single allegation which would warrant the
issuing oi an order fur Connolly's arrest, unless
it is that he was aoout to abscond. The Chairman
ot tho Committee of Seventy, and Sub-Com
mittee, after examination, could find nothing im
plicating Connolly. He concluded by appealing
to the Judge to decide this question without
regard to public clamor. Mr. O'Conor replying,
said ho had found nothing to show that Mayor
Hall is not a vulgar thief. Further, he believed
it there was anything against Hall he would not
fly. He cun be prosecuted at leisure. f believe,
however, that Tweed aud Counolly would fly.”
He coniinueu, referring ut length to the circum
stances of tlic frauds and Connolly’s connection
therewith. He eiiticizcd Connolly's allldavit, do
clarinjrlhat its denials were too general, and
thought it should be disregarded. He thought his
honor should postpone the case a week and ap
point a referee in New York to test all evidence.
Connolly should be held on two grounds—first,
insufficiency in answer; second, because he
isguilty of neglect. Wm. A. Beach, on behalf
of Connolly, next addressed the court. He said
Hall, who was equally guilty, was not proceeded
agiiiust, while Connolly was lodged iu jail. Cuu
m'Jly’s affidavit was a lull and satisfactory ans
wer. He denied the right of tho people of the
Slate to bring action to recover from the County
ol New York.
I‘OUCE PRECAUTIONS.
The police are all ordered ou duty to-morrow to
prevent anv display or procession by the Inter
national.-. Eight hundred men will be under

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.
This morning Samuel S. Anderson, aged go
years, attempted to commit suicide at the Tre
inont Iltmse, by cutting bis throat with a razor.
Although dangerously wounded, 1m will probably
iccover. Anderson was a bookkeeper in the
Comptroller’* oilier until a short time utter the ap
pointment of Green. Anderson states that pre
vious to hi-s discharge he furnished figures to tlie
Committee of Seventy, as evidence of the guilt
oi Connolly, Tweed, and company, and was pro
mised compensation; but did nut receive it. He
consequently became impoverished, and to this
he attributes the attempt on his lile.
DENIAL.
The statement that Commodore Garrison had
been negotiating to induce Connolly to make
jefetitmiuu Is said to be unfounded. The story is
denied by Connolly.

To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune
Sin: As a lawyer, and a buyer of real estate to
some oxten ti iu ibis city, I have had experience
in examining abstracts of title. lam not now
engaged in the practice of my profession, and am
not interested in the number of suits brought, or
tbo amount of litigation. But, owning a few
houses and lots, I feel an interest In tho question
of land titles. Our titles were not destroyed by
the great lire, but tbo evidences of these titles,
consisting mainly of tbo records of deeds,
AC., were. It is true that no one
is in dancer of losing his lot,
if he has actual possession of It. Such posses
sion, by continuous payment of taxes, will, in a
number of years, ripen into a good title. But tho
evidence of possession rests only in the memory
of individuals; ana of receipts for taxes there is
noiecord. No purchaser will pay out hla money
lor a lot to which there is no other evidence of
title than that of possession, aud seven, or even
twenty, years’ payment of shown by unre
corded lux receipts; nor cun money be borrowed
on such frail and transitory evidence- of title.
Our remedy for these oifliculties is two-fold.
1. A declaration of title by decree of court,
upon petition plea for that purpose. This must
not be couipulsorv. Let it bo optional with tho
owner. It will not be expensive, except iu cases
where there arc adverse claimants who have real
not pretended claims. In such cases there would
have beiu litigation, if wo had escaped the con
flagration of the Bili aud 9th of October last. In
uine-teutbs of the eases there would be no op
posing interest, ami they would be speedily and
rapidly disposed of -just as speedily as in actions
tipen debts, in which the defendants make no
(Science and judgments are rendered upon de
fault- Thousands of such cases could and would
be disposed of in ninety days from the passage of
the law authorizing the proceedings,
2. Make the abstract books of the three Anns of
Chase Bros., Bbortnil Hoard, and Jones
tellers, as they existed at the lime of tbo tiro,
cridcure for what they are worth iu all disputes
as to titles, and have them in tho liands and still
the property of these firms. They arc honest and
i(-liable men; and, if any of them are not, one set
of books w ill be a check upon tbo other. Thou
sands will be satisfied with this, and will not cure
to have a declaration of title by decree of court.
Purchases will be made, and money will bo bor
rowed upon abstracts, as of old. 1 consider my
self ordinarily prudent and careful In business
transactions, and I have bought property, and
intend to rely upon an abstract made since the
lire. But it will not do to buy these abstract
books, because,
1. No one tot of them is complete and perfect.
I fear all, together, aronot so.
2. No pi-reon, other than the present owners of
such books, and their clerks, can take them and
make out an abstract or chain of title that would
be satisfactory ti any good lawyer, purchaser, or
money-lender. Hence.
3. if bought by the county, a commission
(necessarily composed of tho present owners of
these books) will have to bo appointed to compile,
arrange, aud perfect one complete set of books,
so as in enable the keeper of tho records to make
out a full aud satisfactory abstract of title.
4. To do this, will require'"at least two years,
boioic the expiration of which time every title
in the city and county could be declared uud set
tlul by tl o courts.
Let those who think I am mistaken upon these
points inquire of the abstract men, and examine,
u permitted, their indices and memoranda.

as Deer Lake Lodge Bass. The climate dur

Mr. Sawtelle goes to Virginia City without
experiencing any great inconvenience. Ho
b:is land broken on the north side of the
lake (of which there is some very rich), and,
beside the common vegetables, raises good
crops of barley, oats, &c. From this place
it is only eighty miles to Taylor Bridge, on
Snake River; sixty-livo miles to Virginia
City, and about sixty to tho Infernal Re
gions, which is somewhat round-about, but
as '‘distance lends enchantment” more par
ticularly in this case than any other, is it
not likely there will ho a cut-oil for some
time to come.
By following around the lake to tho west
side, a dim trail is found leading over tho
Divjde to the head of Red Rock, where are
the famous Red Rock Lakes. Being out of
the usual line of hunters and sportsmen, elk,
moose, deer, as well as different kinds of
small game, abound is this wild, secluded
spot.
But one could dwell in this interesting
region for a week—yea. a month, ami then
not see all that is worth seeing. One be
comes almost bewildered when contemplat
ing the order of tilings.” Go east, west or
north, and a walk of a couple of hours will
bring you on the main chain of the Rocky
Mountains. South and southwest is the only
opening left fora triile cast of south, and tho
same great harrier confronts the traveller.
The range, in making this short crook, al
most doubles up. and resembles a curve in
the spine of a mighty serpent, and had it
come a little nearer together, Henry Lake
would have been squeezed up to tho size of a
brook.
By climbing to the top of tho high peak at
the west, we lookout upon the most wonder
ful region known to man. For within scone
of the eye are the sources of some of the
grandest rivers on the face of the globe—
uorn, as it were, in the same little lake, aud
drinking all from the same small spring.
Here the Yellowstone, Snake, aud tlreeu
Rivers, as well as Clark’s Fork, Wind River,
Madison, and Gallatin, start together, and
each seeks a course of its own. Green River
strikes boldly south, and keeps his eye on
the noonday sun, heeding neither mountain
nor plain-now almost lost amid the sands of
the desert, then again hid away among un
fathomable canons, but at last finds its way
to the sea. Then comes the Snake—the river
of magnificent falls, cataracts, ami cascades
—down, down it goes, its face to the setting
sum, parsing through fertile valley’s, by
mines of incalculable wealth, cities of thou
sand;; and tens of thousands of busy people,
aud finally rests in the bosom of the gntnd
old Pacific. And now We scO tho Y’ollow
stone going still an opposite course, striving
for the east, at times leaping hun
dreds of feet over perpendicu
lar precipices; at others cutting, as
with tho face of a diamond, its way through
walls of rock thousands upon thousands
of feet in height—after many days of toil
some journeying from primeval solitudes on
to a laud of civilization aud greatness, smil
ing alike upon the homo of the savage and
the Christian, it at last pays tribute to tho
ocean of its choice—the Atlantic. Between
these ore many other streams, some of thorn
rushing, dashing rivers. It is strange that
so many different waters should head here
and all run in different-directions. Bui with
out a doubt, it is owing to' the fact that this
is the real end of the world. Aud that it
was formerly (and is yot by rights) the North
Pole, and is liable to be again imbedded in
ice (some day), all of which 1 may attempt to
provein n subsequent paper.
At the same time, with all these sights in
view, while the frost of the morning is yet in
the air, there ean be seen, beyond the low
mountain to the southeast, the steam ascend

Sleep Enough.
Doctors of medicine are cither growing
complacent or sensible. A great many of
them have concluded that it is better to be
come allies of nature than to tight her and
repel all her kindly aid. Perhaps the phy
sicians are always wise (they al
ways looked wise) and only yield
ed to popular prejudice in their Sau
grado practice and their rigorous counsel,
\Ve have all been taught there is merit in
wasting as few hours as possible in sleep, and
that early rising is one of the cardinal vir
tues—admitting for the Protestant moment
that cardinals have virtues. We have all
been educated to believe that the time given
to the bed is lost, and that we gain all the
hours wc steal from it. Children have been
taught that prompt rising in the morning is
a beautiful thing.
1 am not sony, therefore, that one of the
medical faculty, Dr. Hall, has had the good
sense to tell the world that children until
the ago of eighteen, and old and feeble peo
ple (and ho might as well have said every
body), need ten hours* sleep; and that
bouncing suddenly out of bed in the morn
ing is as hurtful as it is disagreeable: that
fifteen or twenty minutes spent in gradu
ally waking no, stretching the limbs, aud
letting the blood slowdy resume its
wonted circulation, is time well spent. Por
the sudden sending of the blood to the heart
is a severe shock, and the person who gets
«1> in this hasty and reckless manner is cer
tain to he drowsy by midday, unless ho or
she is an editoror a belle, ami does not get
up till afternoon. I concur in this—in fact,
1 always knew that it was true; aud think,
further, that pulling anybody out of bed
ought to he a State's Prison offence, and
that conviction for it could ho had before
any of onr ordinal? sleepy juries—if they
•were awake enough to hoar the evidence,
j^&anj’people seem to think it is unbecom
ing to sleep muehauywhere. except in church
ami at evening lectures. They speak of it as
a merit that they do with so few hours’ sleep
at home. This is one reason why there are
so many stupid people in society—admitting
for the argument that there arc so many;
they got up too soou or too suddenly,
and so are never fairly awake all through.
What seems to be stupidity is really
want of sleep. A good many of
the sermons, and now aud thou an
editorial, are written in this state of mind;
aud even -fashionable people go gaping
around,making yawning calls upon acquaint
ances who ought to be in bed and who wish
the callers were.
The world is all astray about this mat
ter of sleep, led away by nursery couplets
about early to rise, and the examples of
Napoleon, Peter the Great, and other
military heroes, who arc reported to havo
been satisfied with an hour or two of sloop
snatched from the twenty-four, taken on a
plank, while their half-dozen scribbling sec
retaries were not allowed to sleep at all. We
all know what became of Napoleon. Even
air. Abbott cannot make it appear that he
had much more than a respect for the Ruler
of the Universe. Thesesleepless peoplehave
made most of the mischief in the world. Cath
erine de Medicis was, wo believe, a light
sleeper. George Washington, on. the con
trary, took his time, waked up the Rather o£
his Country by degrees, cot out of bed with
deliberation, and dressed himself with
thoughtful slowness. What a ridiculous
idea it would be to think of that great man
as bouncing out of bed at the first bell, and
dressing himsellaa if there was a fire nest
door.
The instinct of children against early and
especially sudden rising is well founded;
and it is pleasant to havo the learned facul
ty confirm a long and glowing conviction
that it is not a sin to lie inbedtillthe second
bell rings. It is the experience of the ma
jority of people that the most delicious mo
ments of the whole day are those when they
ought to get up, and do not.
Hereafter let them linger in this delight
ful borderland with a quiet conscience. Na
ture is about to bo vindicated by rhe scient
ists. If the whole of life could be like that
brief interval between ball awaking and
getting out into the cold world—that rare
space of time when duty calls so faintly that
there is a sweet delight in letting
call before conscience is aroused
at all-one might like to revise the
hymn-book, and live alwar. We have
been now for several thousand years going
tothoant and getting away from the slug
gard to that degree that 4 vro have developed
a very nervous condition. To say nothing
of being defrauded of our rights, and of the
legitimate and healthy luxury of sleeping
lone and waking up slowly, as plants do, no
doubt many of the nervous diseases that are
attributed to stock gambling, tobacco, and
unrequited love are due to want of sufficient
sleep, from childhood up.
It is not au idle fancy that wo modems do
not sleep enough. It is perhaps right to
shoot soldiers, .who arc hired for that pur
peso. for sleeping at their posts. Ic disci
plines them; but it might he bettor to re
lieve guard oftener, and send them to bed.
Yet civilians generally ought to bo lec

we do not sleep as much us tho former

arc becoming more and more wakeful, so
that we cannot sleep .soundly in the season

THE TALKING MACHINE.
Some Account of the latent Effort to
Articulation Other Similar Inrcn
liouH, etc*
Prom tho Uoston Post.
The talking machino which is daily ex
hibited to respectable assemblages of per
sons at tho Horticultural Hall, cun hardlv
bo said to realize tho expectations of the
spectators. To the scicntihc and curious it
is admitted to bo a very Ingenious
mechanical recreation; but the linal impres
sion is one of regret that so much power of
invention should have been wasted upon a
triile, or upon any object which can never bo
of the slightest practical use. It appears that
many years have been spent in the study
and experiments by which/this automatic
machine has been brought, as is imagined,
to something like perfection as an imitation
of the human power of speech. But
after all it is far from being
a speaking. and still further
from, being what is understood by a talking
machine, it is constructed scientifically, as
well as ingeniously, and with close reference
to the organs connected with speech in tho
human system; but there is no approxima
tion to either the natural tones or the modu
lations of the human voice. Tho sound ts
produced by the method, common in musi
cal instruments, of projecting air into pipes
by a bellows, the power of articulate utter
ance being very imperfectly attained by tho
construction of these pipes in accordance
with the anatomy of the throat and month
and all the organs of articulation. It is sim
ply a musical machine, capable of producing,
without variation of tone, a limited num
ber of vowel and consonant sounds resemb
ling articulation, but with utterance so in
distinct as that none of its words could be
understood by the listeners without being
previously' announced by the operator.
Nothing is attempted to be said by the auto
mation of which the hearers are not thus
forewarned. Tho manipulation of the ma
chine for the purpose of projecting
the air into tho pipes for the required
articulation ia similar to that of an organ.
Hut. ingenious as this amlrohles is it is no
thing new in principle, and it does not excel
if it equals many other similar contrivances.
Applying machinery to imitate life Is of
very ancient date. To say nothing-of the
pigeon of iychytas, tho clock of Charle
magne, tho speaking head of Roger Bacon,
the lly of Regiomontanus, and other automa
ta, the performances of which may have been
exaggerated, tho famous llnto-plaverof Van
causou is of authentic record. That really
played tho llute, projecting tho air| with
its lips aganst the eubouchuro, producing the
different octaves by’ expending and contract
ing the opening, forcing more or less air in
the manner of living performenrs. and regu
lating the tones by its lingers. It articula
ted the notes with its lips. Tho automaton
trumpeter of Maelzcl, exhibited in this
country many years ago. was not less won
derful. I'liat was made to play actually upon
the trumpet and to peform ditlienlt
music, being controlled by clocit work ma
chinery within tho figure, which was of life
size. Its sound was pure, and more agreea
ble than that which tho ablest musician
could produce from tho instrument, because
the breath gives the inside of the instrument
a moisture which is prejudicial to the purity
of the tone. Vaucunson >dso, a hundred
yearn ago.produced a flageolet-player of sim
ilarly wonderful artificial powers; and, what
was tho most ingenious of his comparatively
useless works, an automaton duck, which
dabbled in the water, swam, drank, and
quacked like a real duck, successfully imi
tating tho peculiar notions of the natural
fowl. It raised its head and moved its neck,
took food from tho hand and swallowed it,
the natural motions of tho muscles of the
neck being perceptible. But to what cud, or
what good, or to whose benefit will it tend
is tho natural query in view of such labo
rious and elaborate ingenuity. What place
will Vaucanson, or Maelvel, or Faber hold in
the estimate of posterity, as compared with
Arkwright, or Whitney, or Fulton
Broaching a Mine.
Among tho many clangors tho Cornish
miners have to battle against, one of the
greatest arises from accidentally carrying
the excavations too close to some disused old
pit, that perhaps many years since has been
boarded and earthed over, and in comso of
time forgotten. When ininers have reasons
to suspect that such Is the case—a suspicion
generally caused by a greater exudation of
water than is usual—they at once proceed to
what is teehinally termed hole it,“ and the
following description of holing or emptying
a pit of water may best he given in tho words
of an old Cornish miner, one of tho princi
pal actors in the undertaking:
Well, you see, sir, we were working two
Lundreed fathoms down—running a level
due north—and to our surprise, tho further
wo went tho more moist the earth became,
till, on going to work onomoruiiig, we found
the whole end of the wall covered with
drops of dew. Seeing this, it struck all of
us at once that there must ho a pit at no
great distance, and his they almost alius
arc) full-of water. Fancy this, sir; a body
of water, reaching many fathoms above you.
and tho narrow space in whiehyou are work
ing only separated from it by a thin crust
of clay, putting you in momentary
fear of this giving away, and the water
crashing in upon you. Jlowever, there it
was, and must he got rid of, and this, too,
bv driving or holing right into it: for if
left, we never would ho safe, or tell when
we might come unawares across one of the
man v levels or shafts which run in such nu
mci ons ways and depths. When the Captain
of tho mine learned of its existence, an oiler
was made on tolerably generous terms to any
who chose to empty it; which oiler, six of us
i accepting, wo at once proceeded with our
dangerous task.
“The first thing we did was to put up a
strong framework, with doors attached,
open inward toward the old pit, so that tho
instant the mine was holed, by running, and
closing the door in passing, the mass of
i water would he-kept hack for a time—long
I enough, at all events, for us to roach the
I ladders. After placing three of these safety-
Vplves. as we called them, along tho level at
short distances apart, wo proceeded slowly
and cautiously with tho more dangerous
part of our work. Bit by bit we got nearer
to the old mine, at cyery blow with tho
sledge on the borer, expecting tho rush
of water to follow, often and often fearing
to strike more than one blow before running
for our lives, till the constant dread which
wo were all of us in so worked upon the
nerves of the bravest that even a falling
stone would he sufficient to put everyone of
us to fight. Never shall I forgot the morn
ing, when at. last we did get through and I
can almost fancy seeing one of ray mates as
he then stood with the borer held up ready
for another to strike, the rest of us watching
for the blow to fall, and preparing to ran if
ucaeesary.
“At last when every eye was fixed upon
them, the steel hammer rang on the borer,
whichin another instant was sent whizzing
faraway down the level, as with a horrible
roar tho water came tearing and crushing
through. It was a run then for life, sir;
and in afar shorter time than I can tell it,
wo were through the first doorway, and in
the act of swinging to the next, when the
first was dashed against it; hut, thank God,
this for a time resisted the pressure of the
water, or I should not ho here telling of it.
On we sped, onr only hope of safety lying
in gaining tho ladders before the last door
gave way; and what a distance they seemed,
when even afew moment gained might rescue
us from death! Breathless, at last wo reached
them, and had hut ascended a few rounds,
when, with a hang—whirl—crash—tho water
was upon us, and, like some horrid monster,
it glided up, step for step with us. Even
nowTi shuddering feeling creeps over mo as I
call to mind the tierce struggle it was to
climb faster than tho water rose. Faint
and weary wo still hurried upward,
for to rest only a few momenta
would to a certainty have been
death. Up, no, with our dread enemy; cam
ins on our flashing footsteps; now with the
cold water gliding to our kuees« yet still with
renewed desperation struggling on. Thank
heaven, the adit was at last reached, and wo
were saved. Dragging.our exhausted limbs
a few feet higher, wo watched the dread tor
rent rushing through this outlet. Thou it
was, that giving a glance toward ray com
rades, I found there were hut two left. Yes,
sir, six of us went down; three only cumo
np. "Whether they were overtaken in
the level or washed from the ladders
none could tell, for death wjis
too closely following us at the time to allow
ns to bestow a thought on our poor mates.
However, we thought a. deal more about
them on reaching the mouth of the pit,
where stood their pale-faced, anxious wives,
scanning us on coming to grass, and asking
ns, with a frightened cry, whore are our
husbands?’
We could only point down to the roaring
gulf, for our hearts were ton full to utter
even the simple word— 4 dead.’

was frozen to death during the severe storm
last week. It is feared that a sou of the
Hon. Guy C. Rnrnma, of Columbus,who was
out on a buffalo hunt last week, was caught
during the storm, and frozen to death. From
"West Point wo hear that, on tho night of
November 25, William Hunter, Harrison
Allen, and Albert Miner, while travelling
near the Indian Reservation, lost their wav.
Hunter perished during the night, and his
companions were so badly frozen that they
are not expected to survive.
Probably tho most touching and heart
rending incident caused by the late extreme
weather is related by tho Plattsmouth Herald
of the sth. It says: “Mr. Alfred Pyzor, of
this county, came in from tho Republican a
fetv days since, and reports tho freezing to
death of a man and his wife and child, on
the Republican, during the recent storm.
They were out of fuel of any kind, and tho
man started for tho timber to obtain some,
and froze to death beside his team. Tho
woman burned everything she could find to
burn, and finally placed her infant in tho
oven of tho stove and burned a part of her
own clothing to prevent it from freezing, but
without avail. The infant was frozen to
death, as well as tho mother, and both were
found, the babe in the oven and tho guard
ian mother beside it, after the storm had
abated.
the St. Joseph (Mo.) Gazette, Doc. 7.
Gentlemen who catuo m on tho Kansas
City, St. Joseph Council Bluffh Road yes
terday infonn us that on Sunday last a ter
rible affair occurred in Saline County, Nob.
A party of immigrants, with their families,
were passing through the county westward,
when, tho cold constantly increasing, they
concluded to camp and light a firo. They
were on a piece of high prairie, and several
miles from any house; but some three miles
from them was a piece of timber. After un
hitching their teams, tho mea started for
this timber to procure fuel. Not return
ing for several hours, the women loft their
children and started to hunt them. This is
all that is known, save that next day the
bodies of seventeen persona, who had per
ished from the intense cold, were found. The
children who were left in the wagons were
tho only survivors of tho party who had
started to procure homes in the west. These
are the meagre particulars we have been ena
bled to glean of tho sad affair. We are as
sured that they are strictly true. We.shall
probably learn tho names of the unfortunate
persons in a day or so.
From tho Abilene (Kan.) Chronicle, Dec. 7.
Tho weather continues cold, ami many
cattle are dying for the want of shelter and
feed. The idea of wintering stock without
hay is well enough when the ground is not
covered with snow, but the attempt to carry
uO.CCO head, more or less, through tho winter
on a range, is a costly’ experiment this
time. WeTeam that many’cattle are dying
up the Solomon Valley. Our informant
says that he knows of ono herd of 000 head
out of which 700 have perished during
the past few days. There are probably 30,-
000 head in the valley’, and not hay sufficient
to winter 10,000. Tho loss must be heavy. lu
Dickinson County’ we hear of very’ little loss
of stock, from the fact that better prepara
tions were made for wintering. Tho oldest
inhabitants inform us that the present cold
weather is unprecedented so early in the
season in the history of the State. It is
honed that good weather will make up for
it before tho winter really sots in. Tho cold
has been general all over the country, and,
coming so suddenly, people were unprepared,
for it.
The Klooimc UPannci,
The people of Boston have been greatly
excited over a report that Commodore
Vanderbilt had made a proposition to buy
from tho State of Massachusetts tue Hoosac
Tunnel, and that his purpose iu making the
off er was to stop tho work on this improve
ment, aud leave the great boro in an unfin
ished condition forevermore, being stimulat
ed to this fell-design through jealousy of
Boston. Later accounts say that Messrs.
Vail and Robertson, who made the proposi
tion. do not represent Vanderbilt at all, but
the Troy Greenfield Railroad Company;
and that they propose to take the tunnel tor
the purpose of developing the traffic be
tween Boston and Oswego, but that it is not
likely that any action will ho taken at the
State House at present in relation to the
matter. The Hoosac Tunnel was undertaken
by the State of Massachusetts with the ob
ject of forming a portion of a railroad route
winch should shorten by forty’-tliree
miles the distance from Boston
to Troy- and the West. It will be a
little less than five miles long, piercing the
Hoosac range of mountains; a considerable
portion of the distance it passes through
ilinty granite rock. The present contract
ors, the Messrs. Shanly, after several unsuc
cessful attempts had been made to construct
the tunnel, and over $3,000,000 had been
spent on it, undertook, early in iSiJS, to com
plete the work f0r54,31M,205» with tho condi
tion that it should be finished before March
1.1574. At that time only 7,250 feet out of
the 25,531 had been excavated, while tho
proportion of tho vertical shaft was about
the same. On tho Ist of January’, 1871, the
work had progressed laterally ,13,022 feet.
A central shaft sunk through a depth of 1,718
feet, or one-third of a mile perpendicular,
reached the level of tho horizontal the lat
ter part of 1870, since which drifting in both
directions has been carried on. From pres
ent appearances tho work is likely to be
completed long before tho time specified in
tho contract.
