CHINESE NEW YEAR. The Chinese New Year has been wet and disagreeable. With the New Year came the coldest snap of the season. The thermometer has been as low as 37. Ice has formed on water and sleet has fallen. The Chinese have suffered from the cold. The unusually warm weather just before the cold snap left the Chinese upprepared for the extreme cold. Several beggars have died on the streets.

Notwithstanding the cold the Chinese have succeeded in making merry. The noise in the streets was quite equal to former years. Chair passed along with officials and rich men in furs nisking their New Year's calls,

DEATH OF MR. SNETHLAGE.

We take the following from the Shanghui Mercury of the 3rd inst.

was

It is with profound regret that we have to record to-day the death of Mr. H. Snethiage, which sad event occurred at Berlin yesterday. The decensed gentleman, together with his wife, left Shanghai on the 17th December by the Prins Estel Friedrich in order to proceed to Berlin for the purpose of undergoing an operation. Mr. Snethlage, who

from Southern Germany, came out to Japan, carly in the seventies, remaining there for about eight years. On his arrival at Shanghai he started, on his own account, as a broker dealing specially in land. On the formation of the Shanghai Land investment Co, in which he took a prominent part, he joined the firm of Gibb, Livingston & Co.

►

When Mr. Snelblage left the latter's employ be founded the firm of Sethlage & Co., in Shanghai, and soon added a branch at Tsintau. During the last few years he has been deeply interested in the lumber business, the firm of Stethlage & Co. being the General Managers of the China Import and Expon Lumber Co., I.d., which practically rules the lumber market in Shanghai.

Mr. Snethlage quite recently admitted Mr. C. L. Seitz into partnership, so the onerous responsibilities of the large business will be carried on by one who has had the benefit of Mr. Sneihlage's experience. We are sure that all who had the pleasure of knowing Mr. Snethlage will join with us in an expression of sympathy with his widow, especially as she has no children to mourn with her in her sad

loss.
