THE WINTER OF 1e4e.

We have the authority of DR.. Rob-
bins, the venerable Librarian of the Hart
ford Athanaeum, for our assertion that
the present winter is the severest on rec
ord. DR.. R., as everybody knows, has
made statistical and antiquarian research
his "meat and drink" for these many
years, He is now near 80 years old, and
we have no doubt, has kept daily rec
ord of the weather ever since he could
write. He told gentleman Of our &C

just been reviewing his meteorological rec

THE DEAD SEA.

The Journal Of Royal Geog. Soc. of
London, for ls4s, Part II, just received,
contains three articles on the Dead Sea,
and the valley Of the Jordan. The first
of the articles by DR.. Edw. Robinson,
of New York, gives lucid exhibition of
the state of the case, and suggests some
doubts as to the conclusions of Lieut..
Symonds, particularly that the Dead sea
is 9s4 feet below the Lake of Liberals,
arising from the short distance between
those lakes, and the supposed sluggish
character of the Jordan, and would OK
cite the scientific public to farther inves-
legations. The second article by Mr..
Aug. Petermann, endeavors to sustain
Lieut.. Symonds in his main fact, the de-
preston of the Dead Sea below the Med
iterranean, by appealing to the analogy
of other rivers.
The third article is an account by 1t.
Molyneux, of her majesty's ship Spartan,
of his expedition to the Jordon and the
Dead Sea. He met with many difficult
ties from the wild Arabs of that region,
which nearly broke up the enterprise
He found the Jordan very crooked riv-
err, forbade in hundred places at least,
and the Dead Sea, by sounding, to be
more than 1000 feet deep. These facts
have already been anticipated to us by
the result cf Lieut.. Maury's expedition,
who has gone over nearly the same
ground with Lieut.. Molyneux. The two
accounts will throw light on each other
