great many red -coated soldiets were on the

Yankee pilgrims watched the . proceedings

in a very indiscreet voice, " — -- the

BURIED N THE SNOW.
An Entire Village Enveloped in the
" Beautiful "-Sufferings of the
Inhabitants -
A GALLANT ILESCUE.
.-k. letter from Berryville, Clerk county,
Virginia, dated the 8th inst., says : c" The
relief party which was despatched from
here to the snow -bound village of Paris
succeeded in reaching the place yesterday
after an exhausting and dengerous journey.
The sufferings of the 300 villagers who have
been bilged in the snow since December
20th evere something appalling. To -day
Charles A..Watson, one of the relief party,
returned here: Ile says that they wera all
painfully frostbitten d:uring their journey.
The relief party, which sterted out in a
large four -horse sleigh, made rapid pro-
gress for five or six miles, but when they
reached the foot of the mountains the
roads became almost impassable. Several
.drifts were encounterecl - of immense
depth, while the men were . -rendered
nearly helpless by the cold. One of the
horses got stick in a snowdrift and had to
be: abandoned. D'uring 'Thursday night
the Patty only made four miles. The crust
.of snow was not quite strong !enough to
bear the 'sleigh, which broke through again
and again; compelling the half -frozen men
to get out and struggle through. the drifts
oe foot. They kept:bravely on; however,
.and reached the village by 10--a-ena. Friday,
having :ineaneihile lest -anothei horse.
Not sigu of life could be seen, and the re-
lief _party. .at first thought 'that they
hall arrived: at : a 'city ' of the dead,
oii. .the twa horses thee I lied survived
only , to . die themselves. Trey urged

harbor on the northern coast, in the absence
