NEATH AN AVALANCHE.

| A Number of Deutlis Reported in Switzerland. London, Feb. 15.—The exceptional mildness of the weather in Switzerland j has caused several avalanches. By one l of these three chamois hunters who were trying to scale the Spitzfiuh, near Berne, were overwhelmed and two of them were killed. Some Turlo hotel servants who were sent to inspect a small hotel a„ the summit of the mountain at Saentio have not returned. A search party was organized to rescue them, but they found their progress barred by an enormous avalanche. It is supposed that the raising men are buriect beneath it.
