Great distress continues in Kansas and Nebraska owing to the ravages of grasshoppers, aggravated by cold weather. There was intense cold in all parts of the States in tho middle of February. At Boston many of the docks were frozen solid so that people could walk around the shipping. The flats south-east of Boston were covered six inches deep with snow, and East River was frozen over between New York and Brooklyn, and formed a bridge of ice over which thousands of people crossed. At Philadelphia the Delaware lliver was frozen over. Ships cannot approach the city. From all parts of the north and north-west come accounts of cold, sleet, storms, and ice. By reason of the cold there is great loss of life to human beings and cattle. Trains are delayed and navigation impeded. Sorrow and destitution accompanying the terrible winter, thousands of poor people are thrown out of employment, and are in terrible straits from want of coal, blankets, and food.
