"A letter from Iowa, November &c,
says the Mississippi is closed, and persons
are crossing on the ice. In Minnesota, snow
was foot deep, and the thermometer de-
grees below Zero This is the "North-west,"
where people are so desirous of going, and
land is held so high.

Rev. DR.. Bellows, in his last lecture
before the Lowell Institute, strongly urged
the necessity of early marriages as the only
remedy for that licentiousness so prevalent
among the youth of our large cities, and
and soundly berated the fair sex for their
extravagant tastes and expensive habits
which, as he alledged, deter young men of
small means from entering the matrimonial
state, and thus lead to illicit indulgences.
- Gen. Sam. Housto :, the noted Scua-
tor from Texas, passed through Chattanooga
on Tuesday, en- route for Washington. His
costume was in the Continental style, en-
bracing top boots, short breeches, fawn skin
vest, surtout, military whiskers and NOUS
tache. He wore cap something on the cock
ade order. The Adrerti$er compliments him
in this wise: He was the very impression
of pomposity, vanity and disloyalty to the
South"
The y. O. Picayune speaking of the
progress of the French Governmental plan of
sending negro slaves from Africa, under the
name of "emigrant laborers," to the COL
onies of France in the West Indies, says that
"practically, it is an acknowledgement ex-
torted from the experience of mankind, and
the wants and necessities of civilization, that
the enforced labor of blacks in Southern
latitudes is the law of labor which cannot be
dispensed with without discarding all the
economies of production and checking the
comforts and the progress of both races"
"A Western exchange paper publishes
the following marriage notice: Married in
Seymour, on Sunday the 18th inst, by Es-
ouire Carter, Mr.. George Wolfrom better
known as old Wolfrom the tanner,) to Mrs.
Frederick Miller,a charming widow of twen-
ty-two. Old Wolfrom is the ugliest and FL
thiest man in the United States, without any
exception, and how, with all his ugliness,
he got the widows consent to have him is
mystery to us. We can assure the bride
that she need not be afraid of any woman
running away with Wolfrom, for she is the
only woman that has been in ten feet of him
for twenty years.
Mr.. Ten Brock, who arrived from
England by the Vanderbilt, proposes to pick
up some fresh horses here, with which he
will again go to England in the Spring
Those posted in such matters uncompromi-
singly assert that Prioress, if she remains on
the other side another year, so that she can
become perfectly acclimated, will do what
she hasyet failed to do-''take down" all the
British race horses. The loss of Prior, how
ever, is admitted on all hands to have been
the greatest disaster that could have occurred
to Mr.. Ten Broeck's stable. As compared
with Lecompte and Prioress, he was incom-
parably their superior.

The Editor of western paper, owes
bank about $1,000, for which they hold his
note. The defaulting wag announces it thus
in his paper: 'sThere is large and rare
collection of the autographs of distinguished
individuals deposited for safe keeping in the
cabinet of the Farmers and Merchants
Bank, each accompanied with note in the
handwriting of the autographist. We learn
they have cost the bank great deal OF

they could be easily collected again. Should

lose nnrs. we'll let them have another at
