Aberdeen, S. D., Nov. 30.- The present storm has not been paralleled since the great blizzard of Jan. 12, 1888. Drifts in the streets and in the railroad tracks are live and six feet deep. Railroading has been entirely abandoned until the storm breaks. A freight train on the Hastings and Dakota is in the terriflc drifts near Bath station, and the Eureka acccmmodation is fast at Hillsview. A demoralized condition everywhere prevaĆ¼s. The loss to stock it is feared will be great. A special dispatch from Mallette, S. D., says: The worst snowstorm and blizzard through this section for years commenced Wednesday night. The trains are blocked and snow drifts in the main streets are flfteen feet deep. The wagon roads ara blocked and stock will suffer greatly.
