OLD TINE WINTERs.-In 1864 the cold
was so intense that the Thames was cover
ed with ice sixty-one inches thick. Almost
all the birds persisted.
In 1892, the cold was so excessive that
the tamished wolves entered Vienna and at
tackled beasts and even men. Many people
in Germany were frozen to death in 1895,
and 1899, was nearly as bad.
In 1903, occurred that famous winter
called, by distinction, the cold winter. All
the rivers and lakes were frozen, and even
the sea for several miles from the shore
The ground was frozen nine feet deep
Birds and beasts were struck dead in the
fields, and men pershed by thousands in
their houses. In the south of France tie
wine pla. tations We're almost destroyed, nor
have they yet recovered that fatal disaster,
The Adriatic sea was frozen, and even the
Mediterranean about Genoa, and the citron
and orange groves suffered extremely in the
finest parts of Italy.
In l7l6, the winter was SO intense that
people travelled across the straits from CO.
penhagen TO the province Of Senia, in Swe-
den.
In 1925, in Scotland mceitudes Of cattle
aud sheep were buried in the snow.
In l740 the winter was scarcely inferior
to that of 1903. The snow lay ten feet deep
in Spain and Portugal. The Zuyder Zee
was frozen over, and thousands OF people
went over it, And the lakes in England
froze.
In l744 the winter was very cold. Snow
fell in Portugal to the depth ottwenty-tArcc
feet on a level.
In 1874 and 1855 the winters We're very
severe and cold. In England, the strongest
ale, exposed TO the air in glass was cov-
cred with ice one-eighth Of an inch thick.
In III the EIbe was frozen to the bot
tom.
! In I776 the Danube bore ice five feet deep
below Vienna. Vast numbers of the tcathe-
ry and tinny tribes perished.
The winters of l774 and l115 were un-
commonly severe. The Little Belt was fro
zen over.
From 1900 to 1912 also, the winters were
remarkably cold, particularly the latter, il
Russia, which proved so disastrous TO the
French army.

Capital.

A friend of ours from the South, men,
toned the other day funeral sermon which
he heard in North Carolina, not long since,
that set even our associate Owl-a-winking.
Parson S--.a rather eccentric charac-
ter, was called upon to preach the funer-
al of hard case named Ram, which he did
in the following unique style:-
My beloved brethren and sisters. if
your dear departed brother Ram, would o.
wanted somebody TO come here and tell lies
about him, and make him out a better man
than he was, he wouldn't a choose me to
''preach his funeral" No my brethren; he
wanted to be held up as burnin' and u
shining lightto warn you from the error Of
your ways. He kept horses and he run'd
EN-; he kept chickens and lie fou't en-; he
kept women. and--thcre sets his widow.
who can prove 1t. (Thc widow sat directly
in front Of the pulpit, and here gave an ofir-
matory nod.) Our dear departed brother
had many warnin's brethren. The first
warnin' was when he broke lis leg. but still
he went OIL in the error of lis ways. The
second warnin' was when his son Pete hung
himself in tail and the last ant ercalc.l
warnin of all was when lie died himself. -
The preacher enlarged On these topics until
he had sunk Ram SO low that his hearers
began to doubt whether lie would ever sue
coed in getting him up again, and, as usual
in funerals. landing him safely i'll Abra-
hams bosom. This was tie object OF the
second part of the sermon. which started oil
thus: My brethren, there IL be great meri-
Gle, great mcricle in Heaven. And the first
mcricle will De. that many who You expect

Plank Roads.

Very few persons, except those who re-
side in the immediate vicinity of these mod
ern improvements in locomotion, have form
ed any idea of the great value which they
have impaired to adjacent lands, and of the
profitable character of the impro ovements
themselves as stocks for investment The
aggregate length of the nineteen plank roads
OF this state 2, l06 miles, which cost So, $780,
29S-average cost per mile 81 1873. The
dividends on this class of improvements
have been highly remunerative. The Troy
and Lansingburg road pays ten per cent,
semi-annually; the Utica and Burlington
twenty per cent, and it is believed that
none in operation pay less than ten per cent.
annually. They are literally the farmers
road, and in every section of the country
where Plank Roads have for any extent been
built, they are bound to increase and be ex-
tended. Every person whose age admits of
their having experienced the very delightful
mode of travel which used to be prevalent
in this northern section, over good smooth
roads, in post coaches-or who has travel
led On similar roads those conveyances in
other sections of the Union-will remember,
as we do, the delightful free intercourse
which pervades travellers in this ancient
domestic mode Of passing over the country.
Ii railroad cars or in steamboats,, passen-
ger who embarks without having previously
attached himself to a party, would be just as
solitary and as much alone as if he had the
whole boat or car to himself, and would
probably not have sociable or kind word
addressed 10 him in the course of 500 miles
. travel; whereas in post coaches on plank
roads the whole inside party of nine-wheth-
cr they are total strangers to each other or
not-arc at once, from the admitted etiquette
in stage coaches-on par for the time
being, and socability takes the place Of
stiffness, and agreeable conversation is at
once elected. Whoever tries this mode of
travel will adopt it again. The northern
part of this state is doubling in value from
this class of crections. 1t really costs less
to make good plank road in many sections,
than it would cost to procure the gravel or
stone for usual turnpike road; and Fulton
Hamilton, Herkimer and other northern
countries would now hardly be known tc
those who have not visited them within the
last two or three years, SO much have they
been improved either from roads made, Oh
in anticipation of being built. This section
abounds with timber suitable for building
such roads, and if NON RESIDENT LAM
OWNERS in this city would study their owl
and originate Plank Road Stock Companies
over thei: lands, they would endow thi
