NAGAEIEs OF THE v EATHER.-Nerth, Last,
and West OF US the general complaint Is OF
intensely cold weather. On the great pains
towards Utah and New Mexico, the weather
is said 10 be colder than it has been known
in 20 wears. In Pennsylvania, New York,
and New England, also, the winter is I'M
uaually severe. The morning Of the 10th
INST, "a week ago last Monday the thermsm-
e.er at Brookin was / 0 deg below zero, the
lowest temperature known in that locality
in 60 years. In the whole valley Of the
Mississippi, on the contrary, the winter has
thus far been remarkably mild. We have
as yet had but one really cold day, and at
no time has the Thermometer sunk below ze-
70, or the mud been stiff enough for a week
at a time to bear teams. At the south, too,
the winter is remarkably mild. y paper
before US says:
At Savannah they have fresh shad, in
Florida, green peas and other vegcta b!es and
fruits. At ST. Helena, S. c., the orange
trees are budded, and corn, sprung from
wasted seed, is from five to six inches in
height. At Charleston, on Friday, there
were successive showers with thunder and
lightning, and at Tampa, Florida, there have
been several cases Of yellow fever within a
fortnight, with four deaths from this dis
ease.

Fever and Ague,

from which mankind suffer over large part 4
the globe, is the consequence of diseased action

vegetable decay. This exhalation is evolved by
the action of solar heat on wet soil, and rises with
the watery vapor from it. While the sun is below
the horizon this vapor fingers near the earths sur

lungs into the blood. There it acts as an irritating
poison the internal visccra and excreting organs
of the body. The liver becomes torpid and fails to
sccretc not only this virus, bat also the bile from

LOCAL. MATTERS.



Niagara Fire Company No. 1, of this city,
was out in full uniform on Tuesday, and pa
raded through the principal streets, led by a
band of music, and made a splendid aE pear
ance. Their beautiful new engine, also, at
tracted universal admiration. About three
o'clock the company came to halt near the
Armour Warehouse on Madison street, and
gave their engine trial. Water was drawn
by the suction pipe from the side cut, and
after being forced through some 200 #. Of
Old, leaky hose, raised, against fierce south
west wind, to height of some 900 feet
The trial showed clearly enough that, with
good hose, the machine would easily raise
water to a height Of $50 or go feet The
result of the trial was entirely satisfactory,
showing the engine to be all that is claimed
for it.
We must also not neglect to notice that in
the rear of Niagara No. l, in the parade, fol-
lowed the juvenile fire company-the wv ash
ington No. 2'-also in beautiful uniform,
with their engine beautifully decorated with
flowers. The company is composed of
young gentlemen under the age OF MAS
ter WA. III. CoGswELL, Foreman. They
made a very fine and animatng appearance.
BY the following communication, which
We insert with much pleasure, it viii be seen
that Niagara No. has already common
ced paying fer their engine in the legitimate
way.
| Mr.. EDIroR: On Wednesday afternoon a
fire broke out in the drying house" or
kiln attaseed to Riggs Reaper Factory. In
! three minutes after the alarm was given, the
! NIAGARA was on the ground; Capt. Cogs-
well took Charge of the fire and lst Engineer
/ Henning of the engine, and III about three
minutes the FIRE eXtinguished!
I When we consider that the machine
has only been in town few days, that most
/ of the tiremen are new hands at the bust
ness, ard that this was their first real effort,
! their prcrnptncss and efficiency deserves
great credit, and will no doubt be appre-
ciated by our citizens, for no old experienced
/ company could have done better than they
I did on this occasion.
| The great advantage Of a Fire Engine was
well illustrated, for notwithstanding all the e
! forts that could be made towards extnguistl
! ing the fire, it was making great head~ay
when the engine arrived, and but for which,
property 10 vast amount must have been
destroyed. Success and prosperity to Ma
