Fer eur Eastern Readers.

Here is one Of the peculiar characteristics Of
our Minnesota winters, and one which We believe
our eastern friends will know how to appreciate.
The season is 80 cold, and the cold 10 % clear and
constant, that all meat can be frozen permanently
in the Fall, to be ready for the cook at any time
before the summer thaw. We kill no beef wor-
thy of mention, from December to March, vet We
can have fresh meat on our table every day! We
ate piece Of fresh beef yesterday, which was
slaughtered in December, and We expect to
partake Of another slice of the same OF, two
months hence just as fresh as when it was brought
to market. Thus chickens and turkies, beef and
pork, bear, veal and venison, are all frozen in
early winter hard md tough a. troken pbysiog-
nomy, and 80 they remain until Demand takes
them out of the icy refrigerator and prepares
them for the table and the harder. Lp't 1t con.

We have seen map Of st. Cloud, very
aourishing little town on the Upper Mississippi,
in which that place was marked out 90 as to bear
the same relation to the rest of Minnesota as the
sun does to the siderial heavens! Its citizens
must take particularly magnificent view to
chalk out such map. On it, st. Cloud seems
the geographical centre Of the social, Industrial
and>moral universe; il 10 the focus Of all the
light, all the enterprise, oil the railroads and tel
egraphs Of the 10Th century, while st. Paul is .
little one horse town, in the back woods that
don't amount to shncks! That il huge city

Several sleigh loads of ladies and gentlemen
left this Sity on Tuesday sve last, to attend part,
given at the residences Of d. A. j. Baker, about
four miles from the CITY limits on the st. Anthony
road. 1t vas cold night and tho wind was pen.
etrating and piercing, but the members Of tn,
company. full of'fun and frolic, started OF ID
gIeefu spirits quite certain of reaching their des.
tination. About two miles from the city there j,
small prairie, on which Boreas plays fantastic
tricks, and usually scatters the snow into the
road so that it is almost impossible, except on q
moonlighs night, TO discover the way. II sssms
that most Of the party got of this road, and nm
aware of the direction they were taking, (ths
night being dark, y wandered over the prairie and
through the snow-drifts until several of them be-
came nearly frozen. We regret to,learn tina! Mr..
Crawford, of the firm Of Fonseca & Crawford,
was verymueh chilled, and that it was with great
difficulty on the part of his friends that he wal
prevented from freezing to death. In company
with an acquaintance be started for small house
through the window-psne Of which glimmsred Z
light, but on their way back Mr.. @. felt . drow.
sness creeping over him and an uncontrollable de.
sire to sleep. His hands, feet and legs besame
numb, and when he reached. the sleighs he wa
well-nigh exhausted. During bis absence thu
party had succeeded in finding the road. He wal
immediately taken to the residence Of Mr.. Isaac
Markly, where the best attention was paid him,
and We are happy to learn this morning that

bank and either for the want of gloves or 10 con.
sequence of losing them, his hands became in.
tensely cold, and when the road was found and
the residence of Mr.. Baker reached, it was ascer.
tanned that both hands were frozen and the un.
fortunate man suffered circulating pain. DR..
Stewart, of this city was called, who is of the
opinion that it will be necessary to amputate sev-
eral fingers of both hands. MIR. W. was kindly
cared for by. Mr.. Baker and his family, where be
still remains.
Mrs. Warren, wife of John E. Warren, Esq.
had both ears partially frozen. They sought shell.
ter in small house by the wsy-side, where they
remained al: night. Mr.. McVey had an ear fro.
zen, while others were more or less chilled OF
frost-bitten. The ladies of the company (and
there were quite number of them,) endured the
trials of the occasion with true heroism, and We
do not learn that any of them with the exception
of Mrs. Warren,) were seriously injured. % ai2
While in the distance the gay saloon was vo.
cal with the hum of happy voices, friends and
neighbors were struggling with the elements Of
nature on the bleak prairie, but thanks to Di.
