three rockets let off from the end of Sullivan's

EXTRAORDINARY DEATH--The Shake
pee Mimi Democrat contains an account
Of singular death which occurred ii that
vicinity on the 18th inst. 1t appears that
on that day man named Michael Flame
gan and his wife, who had been married
that morning, at Spring Lake, started in a
cutter for home, distant ten miles. When
within FIVE miles Of home, the young laly
complained Of being cold--she had on her
bead only alight bonnet. Her husband Of
fered to stop at q neighboring house; but
she resisted, saying -sWe will soon be
home" These were the last words she ut
tered. Her husband spoke to her several
times, but got no reply. Paying very lit
tie attention to the fact, he drove on, no
ticing, however, hat his bride was unusu-
ally pale. On arriving at bis house Mr..
Flanagan got out, and called to his wife,
said they had reached home. She not
moving, he instantly became alarmed, and
upon taking hold Of her to assist her out
Of the sleigh, to his horror found that she
was dead Calling in a physician, il was
discovered that the young lady's death had
been occasioned by "pleurisy on the brain,
or what is sometimes termed 'frozeu brain"
the result If wearing light bonnet.

From Thompson's Bank Note 4 Commercial Reporter.
Financial and Commercial.

i 1t Is quite apparent that the Fedora
Government will have to borrow, during
the present year, some fifty millions: anC
as the affairs of the nation are so distracted
that its credit is impaired, the borrowing
Twill necessarily devolve upon the Noltherr
States for account Of the Federal Govern
ment. Every free State, we believe, ex
Icept perhaps New jersey, will aid in rails
ling the money necessary for any emer-
gency.
Our foreign trade was never in rs sound
a condition, the b.lance being SO largely in
our favor as to insure continued import
of specie; showing conclusively that the
money market must continue casv, and that
the Northern States can, on their uaimpair-
ed credit, borrow almost any amount o.
money with which to aid the Federal Coy
lernment in its efforts to sustain the Union
and inasmuch as all the money borrowed
will be spent within the jurisdiction Of the
borrowers, it will make but little difference
whether the amount be twenty or fifty mil
lions. The rate of interest, however, will
necessarily be higher than in times in qui-
Ietude.
The Railroad interest Of the country has
grown from nothing 10 3l,16S miles in 20
years, and at cost Of more than 1900
millions Of dollars, or about $4,000 per
mile. In the Free States there are 90
500 miles, and in the Slave States 10,668
miles,
The Indebtedness Of the States is about
226 millions, and the Slave and Free States
owe about an equal amount-say 1l3 mil
lions each.
The States heaviest in debt are Virginia
and Missouri, South; and New York and
Pennsylvania, North While not Up ct.
of the Northern debt is held in the South,
more than so f2 ct. Of the Southern debt
is held in the North.
While the North owes the South next
to nothing on commercial account, the
South owes the North many millions. But
enough of this.
The Philadelphia Mint is now turning
out coins very rapidly. The amount re-
ceived here in five working days exceeds
100000, equal to Sl0,oO0,oo0 per
month. The accumulation of gold, how
ever, is very great, there being now about
five and half millions in the Assay Office
awaiting coinage.
The taking or buying the Bonds issued
by a seeding State for war purposes, is
undoubtedly treason, for, in point Of fact,
nothing would give more "aid and com
fort" to some Of our friends down South,
than the taking Of their war loans; and as
prudential move, the Board Of Brokers
have resolved to strike from the Stock List
all seeding States Bonds. This simple
fact should keep Virginia, Tennessee and
Missouri in the Union, for each Of these
States requires to borrow from five to sew
en- millions to finish Railroads now partial
ly built.

Boys, Helm Your ntothsr.

i it looks bad to see three or four large
lrobust boys sitting around the kitchen stovt
toastirsg their shins, cracking nuts and eat
ling apples, while their mother--a slender
feeble woman, Tugs in wood from the shed
vets hor feet going through the snow foI
water, and stands il the damp, chilly cellar
cutting meat for breakfast
Il isn't right boys, and when YOU Get to
be men and your imagirations wander back
to the old homestead, that pale face and
fragile form, long since mouldering IN the
grave, will haunt your memory and cause
bitter regrets at your careless neglect
You think Of her, as day after day she
moved about in the well remembered rooms
Iuncomplainingly, performing all the har-
RAISING toll of the household, sacrificing
herself and wearing out her life for you.
Think of it, and thing how much you can
do to tighten her burdens
A mothers work is never finished. II
is one Of unceasing, monotonous, ever re-
curing round of toll Her duties begin
first in the morning, and she must perform
the last stroke at night; and as She lays
her head upon the pillow it is with the
thought that the same treadmill Of labor is
to be begun at dawn. The calls upon
Mother are cndless-here coat to mend
a book to cover, q stocking TO darn
Tonmy has cut his finger and Mother
must bind it up with rag. Father has
got a cold, and none but her can make the
hoarhound ten. After all have retired at
night she goes carefully about to SEQ that
the fires are all safe--to lock the smoke
house door-shut up the old cat and kit
tens, and see that the hired girl has the
potatoes washed, the buckwheat batter pre-
pared, and the coffee ground for an early
breakfast.
Boys, think Of these things, and keep
the wood boxes well filed, and don't let
your mother pull that heavy well sweep.
Knock the mud and snow from your boots
when you go into the house-don't leave
your cap and comforter and books lying
around promiscuously; and instead Of
stopping to play on your way from school,
hurry home and do that heavy churning.
Do all this and much more, cheerfuliy, and
it will make home sweeter and gladden.

GREAT Snow STORM IN EURoPE.-The
advent Of Christmas brought to Western
Europe one of the most severe storms ever
experienced. Accounts Of its rayages have
been received from the United Kingdom,
France and Italy. Mr.. Lowe, the well
known r1eteorologist, reports that the cold
which ensued was perhaps the most extra
ordinary ever known in England. On
Christmas day the thermometer was S deg.
belov zero near London, and elsewhere j
is reported as having been still lower
The rivers were full of 6catng les, and
skating was as conrlon in London as in
New Yorss.
The quantity Of snow which fell in places
is said to have exceeded two feet. The
storm appears to have travelled over all
Western and Southern Europe. At Turin
the Raumur thermometer indicated eight
degrees below zero, 1.-THE freezing point.)
That city is nearly under the same parallel
Of Latitude as Montreal but its winter
usually corresponds with that Of Rich
lmond. In England numerous steam-boilel
explosions happened about that time in
private houses, apparently owing to the IN.
tense cold.
