The CoLD OF LAST WEEK Tuesday of last
week was unquestionably the coolest day, taken
through the whole day, that has occurred OF late
years; and Mr.. Mating Of Randolph Centre,
who has kept II thermometer for nearly half a
century says it was the coolest day since tho
memorable cold Friday, forty-fvc or forty
years ago, There was no time that day in any
locality We can hear OF in these central counties
OF the State, whers the mercury did not stand
TO- below zero in the warmest part of the day.
This is very extraordinary, and we are inclined
to think Mr.. Nutting is right On Wednesday
morning. the mercury touched the point of con-
gealation, 400 below zero, in several of our
lowest localities-sucb rs Mortified and West
Rlndolph--and in the latter place the mercury
sArunk several degrees below 40 which it will
do without bursting the glass tube. In Mont
pelier the greatest cold exhibited was but 80 >
below zero And even this has not, for the last
seven years, before occurred

A MAMMOTH WBAsEL,-Capt. Daniel Russell,
of East Montpelier, last week killed weasel, in
his house, measuring 10 inches in length from
the nose to the end of the tail, and weighing
over ten ounces This is about double the usual
size of the animal, and altogether the largest we
ever heard Of, except one which we caught in u
log-trap when a boy and which was somewhat
larger.
Our CORRESPONDENTS We give up this week
a large portion of our editorial space to the in
teresting communication of our Western cores
pond9nt, M. M. D., who, we may at least VEN
tare to say, was not long since citizen of YER
mont, OF high standing, and member Of our
Free Democratic State Committee His letter
Was written before the decision OF the Supreme
Court of Wisconsin, dschargng Booth, which
will also DO found in this paper, was made.
Wisconsin is setting noble example. May all
OF her sisters of the Free States speedily follow
it, and trample that accused Fugitive Slave
Law in the dust by State notification.
If our subscriber, in the wealthy town 0
Bennington, who claims to be a man Of stand
ing, but who has not only taken our paper six
years, without any payment, and still docs SO,
but refuses to answer our repeated notes to him
on the sabject don t want his name passed round
to the printing fraternity and the public, no
must speak soon for, having been member OF
the Legislature, and a Professor, to boot, he viii
make a conspicuous heading to the black list Of
delinqaents of six years standing we are prepar
ing to publish, if they much longer refuse t.
heed both our printed and written appeals tt
them for settlement. We don't believe in print
or being used so much meaner than other people

British Poets has long been wanting; and it j
with pleasure we notice how completely tn
want is being supplied. The old editions be
sides being incomplete and announcement, wer
beyond the reach of most persons on account o
their costlincss. The present edition, which
being issued by Messrs. Little Brown, of Bos
ton, combines beauty, convenience and cheap
ness. The text is unimpoachable, and the exc
cution could not be letter. The low price o
rs cents per volume places it within the reacl
of most who desire it.. Each part is sold sepa
rately, so that. generally, the writings of a sin
gle author can be obtained here, much cheape
than in any other form. For public, as we'll a
private libraries, this edition cannot fail to b
preferred. All who desire these standard works
and they are almost indispensable to every read
ing man, should not fail to improve this oppor
tunity. We notice among those announced a
just published the works Of Milton, Young, But
Ter, Pope, Gay, Wordsworth, and Coleridge G
