A Night on the Matterhorn: A Telegram from Zermatt yesterday states that two English tourists, Mr. and Mrs. Pinsent, of London, and two guides from Evolene, were obliged to spend the night on the Matterhorn, having lost their way on the mountain. The shouts of the tourists were heard at the Matterhorn Hut, and relief columns were dispatched. The tourists were saved.
