LATE SPRING.

Bv a letter received short time ago,
from a friend IN West6eld, New York,
we learn that the Spring has been much
more backward there than ii has here
A hard winter and late spring seems to
be general throughout the States, ana
we would say for the information OF
soIicitous friends, that we have had IN
Minnesota, no greater cause TO cosn-
nlain Of these than have those OF other
States. I'm fact, the past winter was
hard on account Of its length more than
it's severity Of cold. Not day last
winter mt Il man could work out, ano
Oh some oil tta @nperest days LOADED
teams were driven over praifies wfas.~
IN some instances, there were not stop
ping places for five to ten miles, without
expesiencing any suffering from cold
No one need be afraid Of the climate O

consequences. An immense crowd Of
men. women and children had assembled
in the church to witness double we'd

stairways were packed to sutfocatlon,
and many even scrambled on the backs
OF the pews and other available places.
The ceremony being over, the bridal
party had scarcely retired from the
church when an old bench, which had
been carried into the organ gallery
gave way under the weight of those
standing upon it, The crash started a
friahtiu] panic. Some persons in the
gallery cried out that the gallery was

commenced in all parts OF the church
