The EFFECTS or COLD on FARM ANNALS
The Peru (Illinois) Chronicle Of tho 7th inst.
learns from q f.rmer who resides on the
south side Of the Illinois river, some p%articu-
lars of Inc storm on the Goth ult. His cattle,
though they were inclosed within q circle OF
straw stacks and hay stacks, were SO much
affected with the driving snow blast, that
they refused to eat. The snow was driven
between the hairs, and, coming into contact
with the skin, was for a moment melted, then
frozen, until the whole covering of the animal
seemed one unbroken armor of ice, which did
not disappear, on many for four days after.
The snow melted on their foreheads and run
ming down, formed huge %icirles that passed
down over the face, and reached far below the
nose, giving them the appearance oil the beast
with the ten horns-in many instances the
broad sheet Of ice falling over their eyes, blind
folded them effectually. Their %nostrils were
filled with frozen snow that had been driven
into them by the violence Of the wind. The
quails that had gathered about his barnyard
as q last resort, were frozen to death. Prai-
RE chickens were either frozen to death or SC
benumbed that he could take them with hls
hands as they sat on the fence, sleeping witt
actual stupor. His barnyard chickens were
many Of them frozen, and what is singular
In nearly every case they were found VIII
their bills as wide apart as they could o'
sundered, and the mouth filed with solid ice
He has driven his cattle and teams over III
fences, the snow being on a level with them
and so compact as to sustain q heavy load.

Cuba,

The attest intelligence from Cuba, under
Havana dates Of Feb. 18th, indicates an un-
common excitement in that not always quiet
island. Concha, the Captain General, is taking
vigorous measures to defeat the fllibustering
expedition, understood to be fitting out under
Gen. Quitman and others, in this country.
By a recent decree the island is declared in a
state of siege, and subject to martial law.
The coast is declared to be ~blockaded by the
navy of her most Catholic Majesty. Every
vessel desiring to enter the ports will be re-
quired to exhibit her papers, and will be
scrupulously examined. Vessels arriving
filled with people are considered euspi-
cious from that fact alone ; if the papers are
irregular, or the vessels have arms or NUM-
ton Of War on board, they will be considered
piratical, and be subjected to the penalties
proclaimed against piracy. Her B. NJ. ship
Meded had sailed with Spanish troops for
Vuelta De Abajo, and that circumstance had
caused rejoicing amongst the Spaniards, who
deemed it a manifestation Of good will from
England. voluntoer forces had been raised
and additional defences built around Havana
Numerous arrests of persons, SUSPECTED q,
having some connection with %6llibusters had
been made. From New Orleans it is stated
that Quitman's " invading army will leave
that port for Cuba within q week.

New Hampshire Election.

They are having n rough timo in New
Hampshire about these days. The political
wal is waged with the greatest iiercmess.-
At a political meeting In Newport n. H.,
on the sth inst, Mr.. Hartman, Stat, Treas
urer, lauded Gen. Pierce to the skies, and
said he was elected to the presidency unso-
licitcd. Whereupon Edmund Burie drew
from his pocket n letter in which Gen. Pierce
addressed him, soliciting his aid in securing
his nomination. After going over the whole
ground of the management of the Baltimore
ConyentiOn-showing up the corrupt Concord
clique, and exposing the Infamous d,sign of
the Nebraska bill, and the endeavor of the
Pierce clique of presses and speakers To keep
it out of the peoples sight during the canvass
now going on, he wound up with tie follow
ing resolution
Rs'oiuci, That President Pierco's administration
IS unworthy the support of the democracy Of New
Hampshire.
which was passed almost unanimously.
1t was predicted last fall, that everything
would be Strengthened out in New HAMPSHIRE
in March. The n. Hampshire Sentinel saws
that whatever else is to he Strengthened, the

ruled the State, will be straight in shrouds.

The SPolIArroN BILL,-When the vote was
taken on the Bill after the veto, all the New
England Members voted aye, except Morrison
and llibbard of New Hampshire
The Hartford Times, tho leading Demo-
cratic paper in Connecticut, pronounces the
Presidents reasons 6imsy, and adds
The money appropriated by this bill would
mostly come to New England, Connecticut
would have received a large share of it. On
this account, Davis, Dobbin and Guthrie
might very naturally oppose the appropria-
ton. But the President ought not, and OF
course does not, give this reason. But who
is there that believes if this money had been
due to the citizens of Virginia, the bill would
now rest under a veto
Some members from tho Southern States
democrats too, voted for it.
