Our kindness for the sex will not permit 10
to refuse the request contained 10 the follow
ing communications, which ~ taks from the
Kentucky Yeoman
stTms is designed 10 let ell the world and
the rest Of mankind know, that WILLIAM
PARKER, my husband, has left my bed and
board, without cause or provocation. Scarce
ly had the honey moon passed by before he
sold my house and lot in Scott, near Stamp
ing Ground, and took me to wretchSd hut
in desolatc place in the Franklin Hills,
where he commenced collecting all that was
due me and selling out all possessed. Az
ter selling my negro woman and child, he
left and located in Lexington, whore he IL
now ranting with the girls, rugged on from
top to toe in broadcloth, bought with my
niger money, and left me destitute, forlorn
and wretched.
"Said Old Bill Parker is about sixty five
years Of age, low in stature, heavy built,
und-shouldered, bald-headed, makes a
wretched attempt to be politite and agree
able, and has a countenance sufficiently base
to convict him to the penitentiary or the gal
lows.
"Dear sir, you will do justice to right by
publishing the above, and requesting the ed
itors throughout the Union to give it place
in their columns.
30 that his bed may be made Of briers
And his path beset with tborns,
And the balance Of his days
Be haunted by the Beast with seven heads and ten
horns.
Wedlock has been woeful thing to me,
For marrying 10 not what it's cracked up TO be-
thought my pathway would be strewed with
flowers and roses,
But the way Old BILL has made me wrstchea IL
Gin to Moses,
feel like forest tree by the north wind shaker
Wrctchel, forlorn, sad and forsaken.
"JANE PARKER"

We are getting some accounts OF the late
storm, in the country above US. Much more
damage was done in northera Illinois than in
this State. AT Chicago the river rose so rap
idly that the thick ice WAS broken up and
gorged at various points in the city, causing
considerable overflow, and much damage,
but the sudden check caused By a change in
the temperature relieved the anxiety of the
people just as they had grown the most anx-
ious, and were on the eve of terrible dis
asters.
At Aurora, the heavy pressure caused by
high gorge in the Fox River, burst out the
ice in the pond above town in large sheets,
and sent it down the river 10 fearful rapid
ty. The railroad bridge, over which a train
had just passed, was swept away. The up
per bridge and two lower ones went with a
crash, and in their destruction involved a
saw mill and Moore L Hough's carriage fac
tory. Wards planning mill disappeared sud
denly, with thousands Of dollars worth of
lumber. Fifteen to twenty small houses
we're sent sailing down the stream, and it is
feared that more than one life was lost The
Guardian says it was Wild and terrible
scene. At Elgin the railroad bridge was so
seriously damaged AS to prevent cars from
crossing, and there was report that part Of
1t had fallen. The town bridge at Geneva
was swept away, but at last accounts the
railroad bridge stood firm.
The river was cleared Of ice from st. Louis
to Cairo on Thursday Of last week No
damage was done, except to the steamer
Grace Darling, which was considerably raked
BY the ice, aud finally sunk.

what - the Use Of snow

The snow was proverbially called the
poor farmers manure before scientific an
alysis had shown that it contained larger
per centage of ammonia than rain. The
snow was as Il protecting mantle to the tender
heritage ana the roots of plants against the
fierce blasts and cold Of winter. An exami-
natiop Of snow in Siberia showed that when
the temperature of the snow, little below
the surface, was twenty-nine degrees above
rero--over one hundred degrees difference
The snow keeps the earth Just below the sur
face in a condition to take on chemical
changes, which would not happen If the
ground were bare and frozen to great
depth. The snow prevents exhalations from
the earth, and is powerful absorbent, re-
tanning and returning to the Garth gasses
a arising from vege'asls b. and animal deoOmpo-
The snow though it falls heavily at the
door OF the poor, and brings death and star
walton to the fowls Of the air and the beasts
Of the field, is vet Of incalculable benefit
to a climate like ours, and especially ut the
time when the deep springs Of the earth were
failing, and the mill streams were refusing
their motive powers to the craving appetite
of man. If, during the last month, the
clouds had dropped rain instead of snow,
we might have pumped and bored the earth
in vain for water; but with a foot of snow
upon the earth, and many feet upon the
mountains, the hum of the mill-stone and
the harsh notes Of the saw mill will soon
and long testify its bene6cence. Bridges,
earth-works, and the fruits Of engineering,
skill and toll, may be swept away, but man
will still rejoice in the general good, and
adore the benevolence Of Him who orders
all things Alright. The snow ia like that Of
a sponge or coral. Immediately after snow
has fallen, melt it in clean vessel and taste
it, and you will find Immediately evidences
Of its impurity. Try some, day or two
old, and it becomes nauseous, especially in
cities. Snow water makes the mouth harsh
and dry. 1t has the same effect upon the
skin, and upon the hands and feet produces
the painful malady Of chilblains. The fol-
lowing easy experiment beautifully illus
,rates the absorbent property of snow
Take lump of snow, Go piece of snow crust
answers as well, of three or four inches in
length, and hold it in the fame Of lamp !:
not drop CT water falls from the snow but
the water, as fast az it is formed, will pene-
trate or be drawn up into the mass Of snow
by capillary attraction. 1t is by virtue of
this attraction that the snow purifes the at
mosphere by absorption and retaining it's
noxious and noisome gasses and odors.
The above is from late number of the
National lntelligencer, the production Of a
professor Of high repute Of the best au-
thority.

and also from Throgg's Neck, near Fort
Schuyler. The harbor At New Haven was
frozen as tight as Bafin's Bay. An unusual
circumstance is mentioned by the New Ha-
ven Register. That paper, OF Monday eve-
ming, says that ''Capt. Morrow, Of the
schooner Daniel Trowbridge, who has been
for week frozen in near Southwest Ledge,
at the mouth Of our hsrbor, reports that
nothing but ice can be seen from his top
mast With spy-g glass that from Faulkner's
Island across to Long Island, and from the
former to the Connecticut shore, up to Bran
ford, is solid field of ice. At ebb tide u
large gap opens at the mouth Of our hsrbor,
closing again at food tide. Thus Long
Island and Connecticut are, for the first time
in the memory of man, connected by solid
ice."-[N. II. Palladium.
