Dr.. George b. Winship attempted to lecture

from the hall his heart had nearly ceased to

The Laws Of Vermont.

We notice that our exchanges in the state
are pretty generally complaining Of the small
pittance that tho state allovs-us for publish,
ing the laws passed a; each session Of the
legislature. The sum allowed Is uiggardly
in the eytreme-it is no compensation at all.
Another legislature should not adjourn ill u
ill is passed allowing the press Of the state
somewhere near such price for services rem
dered MS individuals are required to give.
The following sers iblo remarks from the Bur
lington Free Press, we commend 10 all our
readers, and especially to those who have an
itching to represent their towns at the State
Capital;
We finish to-day the publication Of the acts
passed at the last session which were dcsig-
mated for publication in the newspapers by
the Secretary Of State. In oil they occupy
some thirteen columns OF our daily paper. and
for this large appropriation of space how
much do our readers suppose the state pays
WHY, the very munifcent sum of fifteen dot
lars We do not believe there is any other
state in the Union where the newspaper press
is dealt with on so niggardly scale by the
state legislature rs in Vermont. In most
states it is thought to be Of public service to
do something handsome in the way of sup.
porting the press-nn institution which
spends so much meagerly paid labor and SO
much money TO. difuse information among
the people and hence there is u large amount
Of government advertising done at fair rates
True, in many, perhaps in most cases, a large
share of that patronage is given to papers
which harmonic with the dominant party
for the time being. That Partially is avoid.
cd in this state by sponging from papers Of oil
parlies alike.
1t is al very well TO have the acts publish.
ed in all the newspapers-aH the acts en-.
acted, il il is thought besti and the rewspa.
pers would be willing to publish them at q
low rate but il is neither right nor oredita
bile for the state to get its work done for such
a boggnrly sum as it now pays.

,rhe Cold Abroad.---Men Frozen 10
Death.

The weather Of the pas, week has rot been
rqualled for severity. in the scaboard towns.
for thirty.iive years. IT, New York and Bus-
ton the quicksilver indicated degree OF cold
ranging from ten 10 fifteen degrees b,lo,e re
ro-,omethirg almost uuheArd Of in that lat.
iude. The hurbors were frozen so as TO al
most stop ferry boats. and men were found
in Boston, benumhcd by the cold, and almost
ready to die, bat who were cared FOR and
their lives saved. The following dctpa,ch
from New York will give some idea Of the
severity Of the weather there;
NEw YoRR, Jan. /. The driver Of one Of
the Broadway omnibuses waa frozen 70 death
on his box while driving up town.
driver OF one Of the Bowery stages be-
came helpless from ia, cold and felt ffon, his
box while the y,hicle was in motion.
Adrivcr OF one OF the city railroad cars be
came frozen 40 badly that he had TO be re-
moved, and it is thought he will die. Other
drivers had their limbs badly frozen. There
is a prospect that the rivers will DO closed
unless tho weather modcrates soon.
H. commenting upon the cold, tho Boston
Journal comforts its readers by observing
",hat while their thermometers only marked
