indifference manifested to the safety VI the
officers employed The evidence shows that

COLD WEATHER IN FLORIDA On the 23d Of
December the thermometer at Micauopy East
Florida, stood at 20 at sunrise, which was
colder than had ever been known in that re-
gion. Standing water froze to the depth of
two inches, and Ice accumulated for several
days.
Ia The Claiborne ala Southerner, Of a
recent date, SAYS: We have observed this
fall an unusual number Of emigrsnts moving
through this place. Sometimes thirty or forty
white persons are m one company. They
seem to be mostly from Georgia and the south
east counties in this State, and are generally
bound for Texas"
TThe Sunbury American says "The ice
on tie Susuuehanns at this place is about
eight inches thick. Horses and vehicles have
been passing over it daily for week past
The ice is beautifully smooth, and as clear as
crystal Our citizens are already engaged IN
6lGirg their ice-houses. II is now a proper
thickness for packing away.
