Lost IN the Snow.—During the last ten days the weatiu r has been exceedingly inclemcut on the Aoitli Yorkshire moors, snow failing daily, and, ss the fall of enow has been accompanied by wind, deep driits being gathered, and travelling has been impossible, Tiw re- sidents in outlaying places nave been to a large ex- tent blocked up, and nearly all communicatiou with the neighbouring town has been stopped. The country people who have come into the market at Barnard Cas- tie this week have brought word of n very painful cir- cumstance that occurred on Saturday evening. A per- son named ltalph Ruinney, a native of Uarwood, in Teedsdale, met a sad fate ou Saturday evening in attempt- ing to visit a neighbour who resided about a milo dis- tant, Not returning home at the time he was expected, his friends be.-an to be alarmed as to his safety, and on Sunday morning a number of his neighbours mustered and coir.menecd to starch for him. After tfome time; they discovered traces of his footsteps in the snow, which they pursued until they found him lying insensible within a Jew hUI,I/; ,;d Y"lQ, (,j hi5 .n Lome, lie \yrf< removed as sj-ccouy ui:u a>> cjiieiuhy fsjio^ibie.but viiea they reached home ie was i;,und io be uead.

On i'hur;d;y last dur- ing a suow-storm, Mr 1 horn as Maym.ll, wiio resides in Aikindale, went to Barnard Castle on business, lie set off to return home, and reached a public bouse at the fctangfoot, about dusk in the evening. By that time the snow had drifted considerably, and before he cluld reach the top of the otang, a wild bleak spot, the road was invisible. Almost blinded by the drifting snow he lost his way and wandered over the wild mocis ill the night. Fortunately he was able to resist the tempta- tiun to sit down and rest, else the coasequeuce might have been fatal. He continued struggling against the storm, and was picked up next mornii g by si,me miners in an extremely exhausted state, lie was taken to the nearest house, and fortunately recovered. Thursday last was an extremely stormy day in the counties of Durham and Northumberland, wild blinding showers of sleet and snow drilling nearly all day before a Etreng north-east gaie. The North sea was extremely rough, so much so that several steamships destined for London and the Contintnt were detained in the Tyne.

Eru'iuoiiDiN'ARY DicCovi-uv.—Thv Journal de leXerre contains the ltiliiwiiil, :-It may he remembered that an account was lately given of tho discovery in a liedd at l.acelle sur Loire, in the Niavre, of not fewer than seven- teen human ekeletons. They wcre found by some lab- ourers when engaged in ui-iiving a cutting for toe Bott- bonniis railway from Paiis to Lyons. The matter was considered very extraordinary, as the lie id had never served for a cemetery, an I there v. as no recoid of any persons having ceen interred in it. What made the dis- covery seem stranger was that some years hack in cut- ti: a roa-I iii tile same field ten s!;eLt..ns wcie found then'. Toe excavations having continued in the tield iilteen other skeletons, singular to relate, have been found within the bilt few day, making a total of fortv- two r Sooi-3 of the local jourml- repeating the gorsip of the nf\<h(lllrhouJ, have spread tho report that ti-ie I skeletons were those of travellers murdered by the keep- er of a read side public house, io whom the field k- longs: and that this man and lo- wiie h ad, in ecnsequencc ¿ 6'" ( u.1..

The register cf shareholders was sealed, when Mr ROI)CI-ts, read the fol- lowing report:—"The Cemetery hasnow become so completely (etablished, and the working is attended with s:) little variation or accident, tha: the directors do not feci they have anything to remark I the fact of every thing being entirely satisfactory in each of the several derailments. The accounts ot the Ceme- tery Company for the year ending December, :.S5), are presented beieividi: and although the balance in hand is large, the directors would remind the share- holders that a eonsbhuablo proportion of it arises from ihe sale of land, and they therefore hope tnat the prin- I ciple of paying into the s'nking fund some proportion of the apparent profits will not be departed from. And if such a sum be so appropriated as will, with the amount already in hand, Eunice to purchase ie 100 consols, or 00 invested in some other eligible security at tiio dicere- lion of the directors and also if a dividend for the year 1S39, at the rate of 5 per cent., is divided, the directors consider thai a suflicient working balance will remain in their banker's hinds applicable to tho general purposes of the company."
