only would ask me, could tell you all about
him. Shall not speak much about his fam
lily. At least his father great many have
heard Of His father, General Fiehl, fought
with the great Napoleon at Leirzig. Every
one of Napoleon's allied generals left him,
when they saw his dark future but General
F., with his four regiments Of hussars, did
not leave him. He fought to the very last.
Wherever there was danger you could hear
his voice you could see his tall figure. You
could see victory wherever he went, and, till
at last he was surrounded by Butcher with
his savage Prussans. Blucher was ten times
as strong, but F. hussars would not surren-
der. They were mostly killed except few,
they were taken prisoners, F. amongst the

THE SPEAKER. Nathaniel P. Banks, jr., is
a native of Astead, New Hampshire. He
was bred to the trade of blacksmith, and
worked at machine shop until he was more
than 80 years old. He then commenced the
study of law, and before his admission to
the bar was elected member of the Massa-
chusetts house of representatives.. In 1881
he was reelected to the house, and was cho-
sen speaker of that body, which station he
filled with distinguished ability for two years.
In 1852 he presided over the Massachusetts
constitutional convention, the largest and

LIQUOR LAw.-We have been favored by
the prosecuting attorney with the following
facts attending the execution of the prohlb-
itory liquor law in Wood county, since the
act came into operation. Whole number OF
prosecutions, 8; convictions, a; acquittals,
3; actions dismissed. 2. Whole amount Of
costs, $l3449; fines assessed, $ll0; paid,
800; costs paid by defendants, $ll8; to be
paid BY complainants $l6.4S.
From this exhibit it will be observed that
the county has realized from the execution of
the liquor law 800, with a fair prospect Of
soon realizing 800 more. The expenses in
cdent to these prosecutions which the coun-
ty will have to pay, will be embraced in the
salaries of the probate judge and prosecuting
attorney. The salaries will probably be very
little enlarged on account of services rem
dered in this behalf Upon the whole, the
county is unquestionably the gamer in the
execution of the law.
From the facts here presented, we hope and
trust the friends of temperance and all good
aud sober citizens will take courage and pros
ecute for every infrGction of the liquor law
which falls under their notice.
1t is to very great extent self-sustaining
law, and were it ri9idly enforced, we should
not hear so often of brutal assaults and bat
teries. Trials for the last mentioned often

courts; and withal, having usually arisen in

HARBoRs FROZEN OvER.--New London
harbor is frozen over hard and tight, and
teams cross it to Groton. Stonington har-
bor is open. Bristol harbor, in Narragansett
bay, is closed by the ice for nearly two miles
from the shore. Providence harbor is also
shut up. Newport harbor is full of ice. and
navigation mostly suspended. Mount Hope
bay is frozen down to Bristol ferry. New
Haven harbor has been frozen fast ever since
the severe cold weather set in. The harbors
to the eastward are all more or less filled
with ice, and some are frozen over. Port
land harbor is still navigable. Boston har-
Dor is not reported as closed. 1t was closed
in 1874. Long Island Sound is closed. The
Mississippi river has been frozen lower down
than ever before known.

as the dinner itself. Fuel is very scarce, and
the American is surprised to find shops all
over the city, fitted up with shelves like those

split up in pieces about the size of mans
finger, and done up in bundles, as matches
were in the days of the finder box, steel and

asparagus. These little bundles sell at from
two to six cents. Larger sticks are bundled
up in the same way, and sell at frightful
price. Charcoal is sold by weight, and hard
coal being nearly as expensive as wood. can
: be bought in the smallest quantity at any Of
these fuel shops.
