region.
Severe Weather In Europe.
Lon don, Dec 24th. The weather is se
vere throughout Great Britain. There
bus also been a heavy snowfall here and in
many parts of the continent. In Keotlaud
it is especially severe, and all the railways
in the north are blocked. Two London
mail trains were at the last accounts snow
ed up ten or twelve miles from Aberdeen.
Altogether seven trains are snowed up and
the traffic is suspended. The snow was
still falling last uijiht. Iu some places it is
over twelve feet high, lc is the heaviest
snowfall in thirty years.
A telegram from Geueva, Switzerland,
nays : " No post has arrived from Germany
or from German Switzerland. The rail
way commuuicatious between Berne and
Lausanne were interrupted until late last
evening, and the service between Bouveret
and St. Maurice is entirely suspended."
Loudon, December 23. A Geneva dis
patch says 400 men and 120 horses and
carts are constantly occupied in clearing
the streets of snow.
A Paris dispatch states that the wolves
have penetrated as far as the gates of Metz.
There is - more snow on the Vosges than
the oldest inhabitants remember.
Dying With a Pardon in His Hands.
Columbus, O., Deo, 15. John Smith
was pardoned by Gov. Bishop, Friday.
Smith came from Wood County three years
ago with a sentence of fifteen years hanging
to his ueck, and a future dark with the
gloom of despair and death staring at him
from the portals of the prison. Daring the
past year he bad suffered much from con
sumption, and it was for the reason that
he bad not long to live that the Governor
pardoned him. On Ftiday evening, when
Warden McWbnrter handed the poor fel
low his pardon, he read it, kissed it, and
then died, with a smile on his face, and the
long-looked-for pardon clutched in his
hand. Yesterday his body was put in a
rough pine box, and buried in the O. P.
graveyard. Last evening a lady, richly
dressed and heavily veiled, called at the
prison, and excerciting ber right as the
wife of the deceased convict, had the body
dUintered, and departed with it.
A Nice Pair of Deacons.
Burton and Aikons, deacons in the same
Campbcllite church in Robard, Ky., loved
each other's wife. They did not hide their
sentiments from each other, but endeavor
ed to settle the difficulty amicable by ex
changing wives. An agreement to that
effect was made in writing and signed.
The wives were away on a visit when this
bargain was made, aud were informed of it
on their return. Mrs. Burton readily as
sented, and it is suspected that she had
advised the trade ; but Mrs. Aikensobject
ed, and the plan failed.
Another Bank Winds Up.
Wilkebbabbe, Pa., December 23 At
a meeting of the stockholders of the Wilkes
barre savings bank to-day it was decided
to wind up the affairs or that institution.
The directors say this step was taken be
cause of the ruinously excessive tales of
bank taxation and the dullness of business.
Tbs depositors will be paid in full and the
stockholders will be reimbursed in the
near future.
