An avalanche descended from Mount Bleyberg, at the rear of the town of that name, in Gavinthia province, in Austria, and killed 50 persona. It created great consternation among the villagers. The destruction was spread over a wide field, damaging some lead mines, and carrying away the works in connection with them. Many were injured. March 22.
