winner III TIC IahS SuPciaoi ncSioh:-n
CORRESPONDENT of the Detroit Inquirer, writing
from Portage Lake says, that previous TO the first
of January the winter in that section OF the coun-
try was much mildcr than usual During January,
however, there was no reason 10 complain OF
want Of cold weather and plenty of snow, the
latter being on an average tour feet deep. The
mean temperature for the whole month was eleven
degrees The coolest day of the month was the
9th, the mean temperature being eighteen degrees
below zero. The lowest temperature was on the
morning ofthe 2sth, when the thermometer stood
a, thirty degrees below zero. The highest was al
noon on The 3lst, when the thermometer stood at
forty degrees above zero. In the Lake Superior
region the air is remarkably pure and dry, and
thus there is none ofthat shvering feeling so CON-
mon to cold, damp atmosphere. The cores
ponden, othe Inquirer says that such the dryness
of the air, that oftenlimes stove in which good
fire is burning, will become charged with electri-
ci,y so that sparks may be drawn from il.

Sentence of a Murderer.-Judge Hart, in
sentencing the murderer, Dick, at Dayton, Ohio,
a few days since, made use of the following Ian
guagc In terrible severity, il almost equals the
figures used by Mr.. Webster in his famous speech
on The trial of the Crowningshields, at Salem,
Massachusetts, many years ago, for the murder of
White.
What bloody devil seized upon your human
nature God knows; but this is certain, that issu-
ing from your lurking-place, you fell upon an old,
deienceless woman, dragged her perhaps from the
wagon, and with terrible force, beat her gray
hairs, her face, and her skull into mere mass;
that YOU fell upon her son, lad about fourteen
years old; that in his young love OF life, he fled
upon the wings of despair before your uplifted
and murderous weapon; that he fled in vain; you
outstripped him; the deadly blow fell upon his
tender skull, and he too was in eternity. Your
motives are not revealed. That they were cruel
and bloody, and backed by purpose which no
consideration of mercy could for moment shake
is plain There is no assignabie motive TO your
deed but an nexorablc revenge.
nFrancis Dick, you are guilty. Francis Dick,
YOU must die Ii is the law of God; it is, and
ought to be, the law of man, that the murderer
shall die.n-N T. Express

A friend informs us that there is colony Of at
least fifty professional beggars in the northern part
Of the city, and that every morning but Sunday,
he sees them swarming to their daily avocation,
provided with the necessary tools of business,
such as babies, crutches, and sticks 10 limp with
He particularly noticed that several of them did
not "put on the extras until they approached the
thckly populated fields Of operations.
There beggars are, for the most part, merely
visitors to the metropolis. After having gone the
rounds of the city, they will, there is but little
question, honor some other communities with
their presence for purposes similarto those which
attracted them hither.
An abrupt but benevolent old gentleman having
had his pocket lighted ten twelve times in the
course Of a morning, yielded to such fit of impa-
tence as to wish that he had as many horses as
beggars, so that, constituting the old adage literally
he might give them all an opportunity Of mount

brated character, with whom nobody especially
desires to become intimately acquainted.
