From the Cleveland Herald, 2fth
Twenty Years Ago--The Weather.

We havo often heard it asserted that the
winter Of 1878, was as mild as the pres
cnt Reference, however, TO the files of
the Herald show that although that win.
ter-which is we'll remembered as the time
Of the Patriot war was remarkably mild,
this winter is more remarkable than that.
Tho Jle-a1d Of jim. 9Th, 1900, enyo:
For somc days past tho south wind and
mild atmosphere has been truly spring
like. No rain, and the warm sun bad al
ready freed tho river and canal from ice
and the roads from frost. Even Offices arc
comfortable without fire, such is the unus-
ual temperature Of the season.
The canada "Emigrating Committee"
Of Cleveland, in file Of the Herald, re-
port that they care happy in being able to
say, that on Thursday last, (Which was
Jan. 4th, 1852 vessel (Which was the
scow Bcrkshire) left Cleveland fer Detroit,
with about 80 emgrants on board" The
Berkshire put in next day to Rocky Rive"
with loss Of sail, and some Of the cmi-
grants returned to this city. On Satur-
day the 9Th, the steamboat Erie left this
city for Detroit, stopping at Rocky River
and taking on the Bcfkslirc's passengers.
On the 9th Of January, 1898, the San
dusky Clarion stated that "the ice disap
pcared from the bay some days since" and
that the steamboat Cincinnati was to start
to-day on a trip to Maumee.
On the 18th of January, the Herald
chronicles the weather rs "mild rs May,
frost out Of the ground"
On January 25th the Herald says, "scv-
eral arrivals and departures during this
week."
On the Goth of January, 1888, the
steamboa: Fulton put into this port With
government troops on their way from Buf
falo to Detroit. Tie Fulton encountered
ice at Cunningham's (now Kelley's) island
and put into Huron.
Some day of the week previous to Feb
ruary I'd, 1888, the steamboat New Eng
land camc into this port with a detachment
Of government troops also on their way
from Buffalo to Detroit. Ice prexentcd
the New England from getting into Eric.
Sho left same day for Detroit, but meet
ing ice at the islands, she put back TO this
port. On her return TO Buffalo, on the
night Of January 2sth, she encountered a
very severe storm, covering her sides with
ice and her deck with snow. Her arrival
at Buffalo, the Goth of January, was
cbronicled as :hc latest lake navigation on
record.
On tho Sunday previous TO February I'd,
1888, tho north wind blew the ice over to
the south shore, so that at this point navi-
CATION was closed.
On the eth of January, that year, the
mercury stood in this city at 10 degrees
above zero, and on January 3lst tho lake
and river were fast bound with ice.
On March 25th, the steamer Cincinnati
arrived from Sandusky, being the first ar
rival.
The Hillsdale standard. [volume] (Hillsdale, Mich.) 1851-1909, 1858-02-09

We make the following extract from
the message Of Governor Randall, Of Wis.
consin:
"The necessity OF thoroughfarc, by
wagon or railroad, or By both, in our lat
itude. 10 the tactic, for the convenience
oftrade and navigation, is so apparent, that
| suggest that the Legislature join in the
efforts now he ing made for that purpose,
and memoriaize Congress on the subject.
From the head Of Lake Superior TO Puget
Sound, the distance in direct limo is n.
bout fourteen hundred miles, and by the
railroad route lately explored by Cover
nor Stevens, about eighteen hundred miles.
Tho explorations and surveys Of the sever
al routes--norlhcrn middle e. southern
have resulted in establishing the fact, that
the northern route possesses advantages
over all the others yet explored, in these
particulars; 1t requires, by connecting
with present roads, less railroad to be built
to make complete railroad communion
tion between the Atlantic and Pacific, ty
several hundred miles. 1t is through a
better district Of country--onc capable Of
sustaining an agricultural population near
ly the entire. The gradients arc less, and
tho general altitude much lower. 1t fur.
nshes greater supply, with moro gencr-
al distribution, q wood, timber. coal, wa
ter, and building stone, and facilities fof
supplying workmcn and material in tho
progress Of the work. Between the navi
gable waters of the Missouri at Fort Ben
ton, and the na,igalle waters Of the Col
umbia at the mouth of tho Pelusc river
fifty miles above Fort Wallah.wallah, the
distance is four hundred and fifty miles
With these and other facilities for furnish
ing supplies, the work Of constructing this
railroad can be simultaneously commenced
and carried forward, at Lake Superior
Puget Sound, Fort Benton, and Wallah'
walah, thus requiring less imo for its
completion than other routes, where tho
work must nccc: sarily be continuous from
either terminus. The climate, too, Of the
northern route is better adapted to labor
and greater amount can be performed in
n given length of time by the Same force
In commercial point of view, this limo
is the most direct b tween the great ship
ping ports of Asia and India, and the
great commercial Cities Now York and
Liverpool, and for North American pro
ducc it avoids the tropical regions. 1t is
of the creates, importance that Congress
should make an appropriation for wagon
road from Fort Benton TO Fort Wallah
wallah. 1t is believed that the sum Oh
100000 will be sufficient for this pur
pose"

ZONE HUNDRED YEARS AGo."-A book
with this title has recently been published
in England and is extensively noticed iu

and tossed it up in a ragout, minced the

slcos, fried them in butter, and placed
them round tho dish for garnish.

The Lcconpton Consultation.


Mr.. Olarkson, with the Locompton Con.
siitution, arrived last night He imme.
diatoly placed il in the hands Of the Prcsi-
dent. The Constitution is accompanied
by letter from Calhoun. Clarkson says
that the vote Cf Delaware Crossing Pre-
cinct, had beon returned TO tho Commis-
sioncr for Lcavenworth County, was in his
possession at tho timo when tho returns
were opened aud counted in the presence
Of tho Speaker of the House, President Of
tho Senate and tho Governor, and that it
amoInts 10 something over 800 votes
This gives the Democrats majority IN
Leavcnworlh County, and consequently
majority in both branches Of tho Lcgsla
turc. Calhoun is expected TO arrive here
in a few days. The Union Is informed
that tho Free State vote, said TO, have
been rejected by Calhoun because it was
returned to Denver, was the vote on the
Constitution alone, not for tho State off,
Gers, md was therefore rejected.
Tho Hcroids correspondence says: Tho
House Committee on Naval Affairs hayc
agreed TO report resolutions disapprovnig
tho arrest of Walker Oh the soil OF Nicara-
qua, and that tho net Of arrest, willie per
haps well meant, ought to be censurcd,
inasmuch us Paulding went beyond lis III
structi,ns.
The Tariff Investigating Committee had
n protracted session yesterday.
M. Stone testified yesterday that o. =.
Msttcson, during the pcndency Of the tar
iff bill, stated that it would lake at least
$4,000 to get tho bill through Congress
that Matteson proceeded from Washington
TO New York for tho purpose Of making
the arrangement, lut he does not state
whether Mattcson received the money.
Mr.. Stone said that Mr.. Banks had Dor
rowed $1,000, and another member had
also borrowed, which the books &C tho
company show, has never been paid.
