IA Cold WINTER IN THE WEST
People in Wisconsin, Iowa and Minnesota
may look out for the hardest winter seen
for many years. c There will be more cold
days-the mercury will run lower and the
snow will be deeper than before since 81.
This is the first fall since the winter Of
81 that the brook trout have cofiinenced7
leaving the small creeks for deep holes as
early as September, and the first season
since that the musk-rats have double
walled little hitlock homes. i These aud
certain Observation-Disclosures known to the
sportsman and hunter, indicate winter
of unusual severity. It,is our opinion
that the river will close at least two weeks
earlier than last year.-La Crosse Demo-

Aporrr KEEPING HOTEL, the Editor Oh
the Belfast (Me.) Journal says :. we oi.en
think there is world of meaning in the slang
phrase He can't keep hotel ) for, to keep
q large public house, and keep it well, requires
the possession of an organizing and execu!iVe
talent not inferior to that needed IN managing
the affairs of department of the government.
To select competent assistants, to tram most
of servants to be watchful, careful ana re-
spectful-to' furnish, warm and light huge
house.-to feed an army Of guests,-to bear
with the whims and caprices daily OF hundreds,
and to get them all to the cars IN season iof
the train, and without complaint, IS no Drama,
nv task. He who accomplishes it is entitled
to the respect and gratitude of his fellow NOR
tails.
That excellent and popular hotel, the Amer
can House, Boston, realizes these conditions,
under the supervision of its founder, Lewis
Rice, ESQ. It exceeds all others In extent OF
accommodations, and is exceeded by none IN
the considerate care with which the wants OF
guests are attended to, the scrupulous neatness
of apartments, or the tempting variety OF that
which ministers to the wants OF the inner man.
1t is the common remark of those who travel
for business or pleasure, that the American
gives that kind of entertainment the memory
whereof brings them thither again at the next
visit to the hub Of the universe

BOmbardment of Galveston.
r

The following extract from letter written
by acting assistant paymaster Frederick r.
Thompson, of the United States steamer New
London, detailing some incidents of the bonn
dardment of Galveston, has been forwarded to
the Secretary Of the Navy:
Saturday Eve, Jan. 10, 1868.
We arrived off Galveston about noon to-
day, and as soon as the Captain reported to
flag officer, the request went up from the flag
officer to prepare for action and get under
weigh The Brooklyn stopped about two
miles from the fort, while the New London and
Scoto vent close in, to draw, if possible, the
fire of any batteries the rebels might have
erected. Surrounding the fort could be seen
the tents of the troops, and toward theM our
fire was directed.
The ball was opened by the BROOKLYN She
was lying about mile and half from u.s.
We saw puff Of smoke at Der bow and then
heard the deep booming Of her gun. We
could hear the bowling of her shell as they
passed over US.
The Scotia followed with her IL inch and
Parrot at one extremity of the town, while
we were along the front at the other extremity.
We opened fire with one Parrot and Saw
yer but elected no reply. We then went
within mile and half of the Fort and open
ed fire the encampment.
The Sciota came after us, while the Brook
lyn, with the tremendous range of her guns,
planted shell in the Fort at distance of
nearly three miles.
We rolled tremendously, and we had to fire
as we were rising
Our starboard 80 FOUNDER was fred and we
watched in the direction Of the ras9e. The
shell exploded in the Fort, and soontleywn came
the rebel flag, the halyards being cut, so that
the credit belongs to the New London.
After firing several good shots the signal
was sent up from the flagship to cease action.
We came about, and as we returned field
piece volley was opened upon us, but it fell
