0FThe cold weather of this month is un-
.precedented. The Upper Missouri and Mis-
sissippi are closed, and winter has fairly COM
menced in that latitude. The steamer A. G.
Mason, bound for st. Louis, was frozen up in
the middle of the river above Hastings on the
Mississippi, where she now lies. The passen-
gers saved themselves, by going ashore on
planks laid on the ice. On many of the North
ern Railroads. the trains have been delayed by
snow storms and in one instance the fires o.
the locomotive were extinguished by the
heavy fall of snow. Altogether the weather
of this month is remarkable, both for its
severity in the North, and its beauty here.

GA wealthy gentleman OF Bal timore
meeting last week in the cars between Lowell
and Boston, fascinating little lady, travelling
alone, with an air that invited an approach to
an acquaintance, hei improved it, and got so far
caught in the Irritation, that on their arrival,
in the evening. at the city, they went together
to the same hotel, where their names were re-
gistered as a gentleman and his lady and
rooms were assigned to them as such. They
had hardly taken possession of the apartments
before an enraged man was laundering at the
door backed by sheriff and lawyer, and
armed with revolver; rushing in he demand
ed hundred thousand dollars for the honor
of his wife or the life of her seducer. The
scene was dramatic, and enacted to perfection
on the part of the frightened and shame
stricken lady. The wrath and demands OF
the furious husband gradually abated, till he
came to terms on the payment of $1,000 dam
ages, which being given him in good drafts
and Notes, he departed, taking the erring la
dy under his arm. When the affair became
kRoK-n,s and the names of the parties were
disclosed, it was discovered the lady had
previously "been up to such tricks" and the
husband was notorious confidence man.
and swirdler; the whole affair had been re-
gularly arranged plot to entrap the gentleman
and 'make MIN shell out" The conspirators
were subsequently, pursued TO Lowell and ar
rested. and the Notes and Drafts which they
had extorted from their soft victim were re-
covered. But as he refused to prosecute
they escaped unpublished.

JAMAICA - A passenger on one the steam
ers from New York to Aspinwall on a recent
trip, gives the following description of Kingston
jamaica once the seat of an active commerce,
of wealth. refinement and prosperity:
Since the emancipation, business has been
almost abandoned by the whites, and some Of
the finest plantations and estates have been
left without sale to be occupied by worthless
manumitted blacks. The city looks like a
place that had been beseiged and sacked, and
was in the hands of the debris of the beseiging
army. Nearly all of the wealthy and intelli-
gent classes have left and parted with their
property for one tenth of it's value, and in
many cases abandoned it on account of the
conduct of the free negroes, whose sole occu-
patton ever since has been huckstering the
fruit that grows on the vacant estates. The
arrival ofthe steamer crowded the whole town.
and many thousands of blacks lined the brok
en- and crumbling wharyes to witness our yes
sci. AS soon as we landed, crowds of fruit
vendors offered the most delicious orangen,
bananas, &c, in odd-looking baskets-for the
standard price of everything-one dime. We
eat cautiously of them then, but numbers were
devoured unseen in the state-rooms at night

mcdonnell, a native of Dublin, was blown to
atoms before Sebastopol A few days before
the regiment was removed to the camp at
Currah, our young hero's widowed mother

her the only relic of her only son. In the
course of the evening the poor woman, in the
height of her grief and natural affection, "laid
out" the medal on the kitchen table, and hav-
ing procured four mold candles and several
quarts of whisky, she collected her neighbors
and kept up the wake" until an early hour
