He has been in our employment for several years,

men desiring to prepare for college, viii do well
to patronize this school, as Mr.. Stuart has ksd
considerable experience in this business, and wher.

COLD.

Many Of the harbors at the North are cloi
sed by ice, which also offers serioas 0batrue-
ton to navigation In some Of the Southern
ports. At Lynchburg on Friday lass,s the
thermometer was down TO liz degree above
zero. At Savannah it has indicated rs a.
bose, and in Florida 81 above, being the
c0ldest ever known in that region. Ice
formed two inches in thickness. In Haysns
81 severe frost did considerable injury to the
crops, a phenomenon almost unknown in
that latitude. In all the Western rivers
steamers are frozen up. TIE great lakes
are covered with firm ice extending many
miles from shore. In the Northwestern
States the severity Of the weather it almost
Uppr ecedented, and Een and animals have
persisted in great numbers. A sample of the
terrible winter in that loyalty is shown BY
the following accounts from iowa last week
80" The roads were impossible. Sleds,ssmer
chandiss, and property were abandoned tt
the storms. Many men aud cattle were fro
zen to death in the highway. South of 'tha
line a party of Government surveyors tool
shelter from a snow storm in a ~ravine, which
scanned the prairie. They pitched thoir ten
upon three feet of snow. rugged a stove who's
pipe ran up through the top OF the tent, at,
and went to sleep. a difficulty Of brsat!lin,
aroused the party early, and it was discovere'
that the rayine had driftcd chock full, an
that the snow was three feet above the 10
o! the tent and the top of the pipe. Out Q
the entire surveying company Of which the
were a part, two men frozs to death, two Wa
ded the prairie SHOWS in stocking feet unab!
to draw on their stiff boots, and all wer
disabled, permanently or temporarily by th
freezing Of the extreanities.-Nat. Intel.

It is very strange, that persons suffering Fl on
diseases pertaining to = deranged state of the Liy-
er, will not, when all other remedies fall, just try
one bottle of Sanford's Inyigorator, or Liver Rem
edy the cure is certain.
1t is an established fact, and no reason why any
person should lingsr cut q miserable existence
from Bleeding Piles, as many do from Ignorance
Of a cure being within their reach. Sanford's In
vigorator, found in most drug stores, perfectly aim.
pie, cannot ~injure, but gives tone and strength t.
the general system, and is an all-suficient remed,

Conlensing clouds scowI overhead,
The tempest gathers fast.
Last Sunday was a day never to be for

ground covered with snow, and it continued
showing the l~ive-long day. The fierce north
blast ragged fufiously and for intensity Of
cold, its equal was scarcely ever felt. God
pity the poor and destitute in such q storm

ssffered severely even around our own city
for it is difficult to keep comfortable around
a blazing fire and in warm houses. Those
who have scanty fuel and miserable cabins

AN NINTEREsTING CONFERENCE.-The
New York Erening Post states that the
only two observations known to have
been made of an occultation of the plan
ct Mars, on the 14th of February, 1855.
were those by Col. j. G. Fremont, at
the western base of the Rocky Moun.
tains, and by DR.. Kane, in the midst of
Polar ice.
1.-The similarity in the circumstances.
in themselves so remarkable, and in the
occupation of the two men, makes the
fact of their being the only known OBJ
servers of the phenomenon alluded to a
coincidence of no ordinary interest. Both
were surrounded by snow and ice. and
reduced to extremities for want of food
both were lahoring with an unparalleled
devotion and disinterestedness for .be
promotion of geographical knowledge /;
and though many thousand miles apart,
their separate enthusiasms were mirror
ed in the same star, which was silently
revealing to both the distance thew had
wandered from their homes, and the
way to return to them"
The Nevada journal., 1857-02-13

AN AFFLICTED HUSBAND.-A bereav-
ed husband standing by the grave of his
deceased wife, "refuse to be comforted, y
said to friend as he turned towards
him and laid his head on his shoulder,
a" I've lost horses, and I've lost cows,
and I've lost likely calves, and shoats,
but | never had any thing to cut me
like this!' Wasn't that an afflicted
mourner.
This reminds us of scene we once
witnessed in a country store in one of
the oldest settled districts in Western
Virginia. The shop keeper was engag-
ed in waiting upon customer, when a
sturdy, country-born Dutchman come in
with whip under his arm and said:
Good morning, Mr.. Shones."
"Ah good morning Mr.. Appleback, "
said Mr.. Jones, in reply, show do you
do, and how is your family 2"
Well, we are all well, chust now, ex-
cept my wife, and she is dead again. -
answered Appleback.
Indeed said Mr.. Jones, 81 am very
sorry to hear it. | have no doubt you
are greatly disturbed in consequence Of
your loss, but you must bear it with the
philosophy of Christian"
