Tuesday, the Goth day of January. 1859, will be
long remembered as of the coolest days, If not

clock ten degrees above, ranging under twerty all

The present Winter will be spoken of for years to
come, as the cold Winter. The mercury has ranged
below ten degrees above zero for four mornings dur

as four cold spells, either of which was colder
than our average Winter weather in North Carolina.
There will be no want of ice during the next Sum-

TO all who have the proper places of Deposit for hous-

PUBLIC SPEAKING. The following embodies
some useful hints to public speakers:
1t is curious fact in the history of sound that
the loudest noises always perish the spot where
they are produced, whereas musical notes will be
heard at great distance. Thus, if we approach
within a mile or two of a town or village in which
fair is held, may hear very family the clamor
OF the multitude but more distinctly the organs
and other musical instruments which are played
for their amusement. If Cremona violin, real
Amat, be played by the side of a modern fiddle,
the latter will sound much louder than the former
| but the sweet brilliant tone of the Amati will be
heard at distance the other cannot reach. DIR.
Young, on the authority of Durham, states that
at Gibraltar the human voice may be heard at a
greater distance than that of any other animal.
Thus when the cottager in the woods or the open
plain wishes to call her husband who is working
at distance, she does not shout, but pitches her
voice to musical key, which she knows from hab-
it, and by that means reaches his ear. The loud
est roar of the largest lion could penetrate so
far. Loud speakers are seldom heard to advan-
tage Burke's voice is said to have been a sort of
! lofty cry, which tended as much as the formality
of his discourse in the House of Commons to send
the members to their dinner Chatham's lowest
whisper was distinctly heard. Ellis middle tones
were sweet, rich and beautifully varied" SAYS a
writer describing the orator; when he raised his
voice to the highest PITCH the house was complete
ly filled with the volume of sound; and the effect
was awful, except when he wished to cheer or ami
mate-and then he had spirit-stirring notes which
were perfectly irresistible. The terrible however
was his peculiar power. Then the house sank be
fore him; still he was dignifed, and wonderful as
was his eloquence, it attended with this impor-
tant effect that it possessed every one with con-
vctlon that there was something in him finer than
ms words /; that the man greater infinitely
greater, thanthe orator" .f
