WINTER.-The weather at the North seems to
have been particularly severe. A snow storm pre-
allied in Buffalo, N. Y, on election day. The
ground was covered a foot deep, and it has fallen
sixteen inches deep at gainesville, Ohio, and at
Stockbridge, Massachusetts, three inches. Along
the rivers rain has swollen the creeks so as to pro-
duce heavy freshets. They had all the signs of
mid winter in New York on the 18th, and the boys
went skating on some of the ponds-the ice being
sufficiently strong. Snow fell from early evening
until late hour.

BALLOON AscENsIoN.-The balloon ASCENSION
which was advertised to come off in Baton Rouge
by Miss Emma V. was performed on Monday after
noon last by gentleman, brother of the lady, we
believe. The ascension, according to the Baton
Rouge Advocate, was really most beautiful spec
tace. The balloon started from the Garrison, and
majestically to the heightof about half mile,
and, after drifting eastward for couple of miles,
descended near the woods in the outskirts Of the
town. We learn that the balloon was damaged in
its deseeut-to what extent, we are positively un-

HoMIcIDE-We have never (says the Savan-
nah Georgian of the 2Oth) been called upon to re-
cord so cold blooded murder as occurred yester-
day morning in that portion of city styled Bat
tie Row. The lifeess bodies of Mrs. Bridget Han
nan and Patrick Welsh were found on the floor of
small dwelling, their skulls broken by club, the
former having received on the forehead a blow
which crushed the skull of the unfortunate woman,
while that of the latter exhibited the marks of two
blows which caused his death, The scene was,
we learn, horrible to contemplate. Patrick Han
nan, found in the house, is charged with the awful
crime of deprving two fellow-beings of life. An
inquest was held on the bodies of the deceased by
Thos. Eden, coroner. The verdict Of the jury has
not been furnished for publication.

ALABAMA Newspaper correspondents
in North Alabama are talking great deal about
successor to Dixon H. Lewis in the United States
Senate. They claim it as a kind of geographical
right that the appointment should be made from
that section of the State. The names of Houston,
Terry, Coleman, Hubbard, Clay, Clemens, Walker
and Acklin are mentioned in this connection. The
Huntsville Advocate thinks that Chapman, to save
himself from the unpleasant duty of deciding among
many political friends, had better appoint whig
