to the illness Of the venerable Chid sHee havS1
been realized -he departed this lifs
in Hillsborough, on Saturday last ri wass hoped
few months since, that TIE health a Judge Nash
had been entirely restored land his friends INDUCED
the fond expectation that hes would yet bs spared
for some years to his friends and STATE. Only
week or two since he. WAS IN attendance On the Sy-
nod at Newbern, his native town, and took an &C
tive part in its but an affection ofhis
lungs, which were recently impaired, terminated a.
tally, as it was feared it would do from the first by
his physicians -,
Frederick Nash was the son of Abner Nash, Gov
ernor Of the State in 1899, and was nephew q
Gen. Francis Nash, who fell MORALLY wounded while
fighting for his country at the battle Of Brandy vine
Judge Nash was born in Newbern in 1871, and was
consequently in his 77thyear He represented that
Borough in the House of Commons in 1904 and 1906
In 1918 ne was elected Judge of the Superior
Courts which he resigned in 1919 In 1927 and
1928 he represented Hillsborough in the House of
Commons; in 1886 he was again elected Judge of
the Superior Court from which in 1874 he was trans
ferred to the Supreme Court bench, which dignifed
and important position he has since occupied with
credit to himself and satisfaction to the State,
We glance only at his long and useful public life,
leaving it to others more competent, and who knew
him more intimately than did, to do justice to
his social and private virtues. A good man has
gone down to the graye-the State mourns the loss
of faithful and honest son. The town of his adop-
tion Hsborough, is clad in mourning for the death
of one of its best and most useful citizens and the
cord of sympathetic sorrow vibrates thence to his
native town. at the confluence of the Neuse and
Trent.
We learn that his mortal remains were inferred
at Hillsborough yesterday, with Masonic honors.

Horse Tanning.

Prof Lanier, the great American horse-tamer, is
yet at the Marlborough House, but will remain only
short time unless sufficient number of pupils be
obtained to justify his longer stay.
On Saturday last he practiced his astonishing art
in our streets, pair of horses belonging to Col
Watson, of Johnston county. One of the horses
had run away several times and on Friday last in
jured four persons by taking fright and dashing off
Both horses were peculiarly afraid of Buffalo robe,
and could not be driven without blinds In very
short time the Professor had them perfectly docile
drove them without blinds, and threw Buffalo robe
over them first on their backs then on their heads
then wrapped himself in it and made them follow
him. The trial took place in the presence of large
crowd and so far as we could judge, all were tho
roughly satisfied and astonished
Prof L. uses no drugs nor does he use harshness
or severity in his training. He imparts this rare
and useful knowledge in few moments, and we
would advise all who deal with horses to avail them
selves of the present opportunity to acquire the art
That SANE ANDREW WIND, whom we properly
denounced some weeks ago, has written us two OF
three letters in keeping with the character of the
rascal who never intends to pay an honest debt il
he can avoid it. He consider his bill footed, as
his person would be if we were in reach of him.
We have drawn black marks around his account and
he is welcome to all he has made by the swindle
which is only $23,25.

State had power to levy taxes to build Railroads. it
had also the necessary power to make laws to pro-
tect them when built. As this bill had been con-
demned by the committee on internal improvements,
he hoped the House would reject it.
Mr. Mckay expressed sentiments similar to those
of Mr. Bridgers and stated Charleston ready to
tap the railroad which came within five miles of her
boundary. ..,s-
Mr. Caldwell, of Guilford, though in favor of the
Danvile connection, was opposed to this bill, and
thought the friends of the Danvle connection would
be able to prove the necessity of the measure before
the most prejudced jury
The Speaker interrupted Mr. Caldwell, to an
nounce that at 10 o'clock there was joint resolu-
ton in order to count the votes for Governor.
On motion of Mr.. Kerr the further discussion was
postponed to Friday next

MED by Mr.. HILL chief clerk, and followed by the

1t will thus be seen that the amount of humidity in
the atmosphere Of St. Paul during the winter months IL
not one-6fth that Of New York city during the same
period. A like remark can be made of Boston (s rep
resented by Cambridge in the above table) or of Ciucin-
natl, OHIO. f
Let Us look next at the influence of winds on the de.
gree of cold: Dr.. Kane gave it as his experience that
the atmosphere at zero, accompanied by a high wind
was more uncomfortable and absolutely colder than the
same atmosphere at thirty degrees below zero without
wind. On this subject popular experience is uniform
and it needs no citations from science to demonstrate
that the amount Of wind very materially Affects our
s~en-ibility to the cold.
This being granted let US examine how Minnesota
compares in this respect with other points in the Union
To do this We quote from the Army Register the fol.
lowing extracts as compiled from the report Of the Chief
Engineer Of the Minnesota and Pacific Railroad Com.

It appears that the mean force Of the wind ct Fort Saell-
ing for the whole terra 10 less than ct any other ststi"n. and
and twenty-five per cent less than the xve,a e Of all stations
for the yesr, except in 1851, when il eighty exceeds the
average
Hence, we End that although Minnesota occupies q
comparatively high northern latitude, the degree Of its
t~hermometrical cold is reduced BY the notifications of
the two great forces which alone could influence it,
viz: BY the small degree Of humidity and by the spall
amount Of wind in it, atmosphere. The result Isl clear,
dry, bracing and quiet air, we'll fitted for tho develop.
ment Of physical and mental strength.
The question, however, of the character of the winter
il not Of 80 much importance to the emigrsnt as that of
the character Of those months upon which the agricul.
tural success Of the country must depend. The emf
grant will conclude that a great degree Of cold during
the winter is more than compensated for during the re-
mainder Of the year, in the freedom Of the settler from
the miasmatic diseases ola more Southern latitude, and
in the enjoyment Of that good health for which this
State has q world wide celebrity. The great question
is Is to the agricultural capacities Of Minnesota,-upon
these must depend its future, and these will depend
upon three points,-6rst, the soil; second, the fall Of
rain, and third, the degree Of heat during the months
between April and October.
The soil of Minnesota possesses the rich, dark, al
luvial character Of the soils of the adjacent States Of
Iowa and Illinois, with however a greater admixture Of
sand, which gives it a lighter, looser. and warp, r char.
acter. We do not consider = defence Of the character
Of the soil necessary-it hes never been impeached-we
would however advert to one fact, Wig: that the mixture
Of sand with the other elements Of the soil makes it re.
ceiYe more quickly the warmth Of TIE early spring, hsv'

ing in this respect a decided advantage over the thick
rlayey, almost impervious soils of some Of tho adjscent
States.
In respect to the fall Of rain, it will be recollectei
that we have just stated that a less amount is found in
Minnesota during the winter months than in any other
part Of the Union. Now although this serves q useful
purpose in moderating the cold Of the winter, a con-
tinuance of the same state Of things during the agricul.
tural months would tend to create droughts and prove
seriously detrimental to the prosperity Of the country.
We will, however. by u reference to the following ex.
tract from the ClimatologyNf the United States, find
that instead Of this being the case, the amount Of rain
md humidity in the atmosphere increases in the exact
ratio required by the former, aud diminishes just in
proportion rs the period for agricultural pursuit passes
way. This table is based upon observations made by
the United States Government at Fort Smelling during
n neriod of n;nafoan uaars aud Ia n = E,lana.

The communication of Mr.. William Baker, of Athens,
Pine Bend Precinct, Dakota County, has been received,
urging the necessity for the formation of a Dakota Co..
Agricultural Society. We would say. in reply to Mr..
Baker, that previous to the date Of his letter, steps had
been taken to the end proposed by him. On Friday
evening next q meeting Of the farmers Of this vicinity
will be held at the Office Of Iguatius Donnelly, Esq, in
this place to take the necessary steps for calling together
a convention Of the farmers of the County. The meet
ing, We are confident, would be glad to have Mr.. Baker
present. Mr.. BIS letter is but another evidence of the
ripeness Of the community for such a step. While in
ferior counties possess Agricultural Societies, We, as the
FIRST Agricultural County in the State, should not be
behind hand. We have no doubt the matter is now in
the right hands to urge it to Development. Mr.. Baker
is right, all our citizens are interested in such a measure.
The County Commissioners, on the 9th ult., ordered
the opening of the road from this town to Spring Lake,
lately petitioned for. BY the new route over onethird
the distance will be shortened between these two points.
Securing, opening, and working roads is at present a
slow process large towns like ours are often built up to
contain a thousand inhabitants, before they can get suit
able roads made into the back country, and the people,
as in the above instance, have to pick a route wherever
free from fences, until the slow machinery of legal &C.
ton gives them the necessary accommodation. We may
hope to see some travel this summer on the new road
between this town and Cannon Falls, for the want Of
which we have suffered much. b4+ sSasS
