ENCOUNTERED A BLizZAIiD.-Mr. Jas.
Howson (son of J. Howson, of this place,)
• recently had au unpleasant experience
duringone of the famous blizzards of: the
northwest. Leaving hisfarm out on/the
prairie for Regina, he was caught in
the blinding storm, and fearing unless he
reached' a place of' shelter, he would lose'
his life, he made desperate fforts to push
on, reaching, .considerably fatigued, an
abandoned shanty. Here he found an old
stove, and made preparations tostart a
fire, but found he had. no snatches. As.
the storm continued he had. no choice but
to remain in the shanty,; and he;spent 'the
night trying to keep warm the best he
could. 'When morning dawned, and the
storm had ceased, he found .he was only
a short distance from the town:
