COLD WINTER PREDICTED.-Those who
are experts in signs profess to see the fore
shadowings of an extremely cold wintcr.-
The St. Paul Daily Press says:
That weather prophets in Minnesota,
predict the hardest winter seen for years.
There will be, says the Press, more cold days
the mercury will run lower, and the snow
be deeper, than before sincef 1857. This is
the first fall since that of 1857 that the brook
trout have commenced leaving the small
creeks for deep holes as early as September,
and the first season since then that the musk
rats have double-walIed their little hilloc;
homes These and certain other infallible
signs. known to the sportsman and hunter, in
dicate winter of unusual severity. 1t is
thought by many that the river will close al
least two weeks earlier than last year."

True TO fIae Cause.

We are permitted to make the following
extract from aletter written by. Andrew Jack
son, Esq, of this village, before the late elec-
tion. 1t was written in the upstudied free
dom of private correspondence, but is so cred
liable TO the patriotism of the writer, and
places him in so honorable light as true
soldier faithful to his country's cause, that we
take'gSe eat pleasure in laying it before our
readers

lesson, but it seems they are bouad to be
traitors. 1t would, indeed, be a very great
national calamity ifthese rascals with whose
superors the penitentiaries are filed should
succeed in electing that worthless traitor, VAL

vote right, and vote early, and if we fail in
this election, am satisfied the sEwar will be
protracted very considerably by such result

ifthere isa Vallandigham voter there, he has

A FORAGING PARTY.

When the Forty eleventh P. NJ. were en-
camped at Boonsboro, what time the rebels
were driven out Of Maryland, the Colonel of
said regiment duly issued orders that all
provender taken by troops under his com.
mand should be fairly paid for without dc.
falcation for value received. Now it happen.
cd that one bright morning that the Major
Of tho aforesaid regiment riding out near
camp, saw private deliberately lift up what
is known in Southern tongue an rock, and
throwing the same with great skill, instantly
killed small pig that with halt a dozen
other small pigs were following their mother
at full speed away from the neighborhood Of
this same private.
The soldier who was an Irishman, picked
up the pig, and hiding it under his army
sack, was returning to camp, when, lifting
up his head, he saw before him the major,
who, assuming his most solemn look thus
spoke to him: vl
"What have you under your coat, there?'
a small pig that's hurted itself--poor little
thing and Pm taking it home to mend its
leg sure the poor crayture wud he after dy-
ing if left all alone in the cold, the raw morn

discipline is discipline, and there was but one
way to overlook this breach of it : that was
to punish Paddy by giving him three mile
walk down the road and over the fields back
to camp, before he could bring his pig in.
You say the pig ID lame ~ asked the
officer .a 49,
"Shure, that's the truth, sirr; and I'm
after behaving it'll niver be able to run any
more at all, at all: be the same token its
tails out of curl entirely; and hadn't bet,
ter be afther taking it home than letting il
die like haythin in the road here?
"Do you see that old SOW down the road
there with those other pigsf you follow hel
home at once, sir, and leave the lame pig
there Z" ...' "'
Saying which the mrjor continued his ride
and tho lrishman duly followed the old SOW
to-a turn:in the road, when he obeyed or
ders, and left the lame pig at home, where
that night at least one mess had roast pig
with "ubi beans ibi potria' sauce at discre

A BAcnELoR's Defence. E.-Bachelors are
styled by married mem who have put their
foot into it as only half perfected beings,
checrless vasabonds, but half pair of scis-
sots, and many other titles are given them;
while on the other hand they extcle their
state as one Of perfect bliss, that change
from earth to heaven would be somewhat Of
doubtful good. Ifthey are so happy, why
don't they enjoy their happiness, and hold
their tongues about it? What do half the
men get married for? Simply that they
may have some one to darn their stockings,
sew buttons on their shirts, and trot their
babies that they may have somebody, as a
married man once said. ito pull off their
boots when they are little balmy." These
fellows are always talking of the loneliness
Of bachelors. Lonelness indeed who is
petted to death by ladies who have daught-
ers, invited to tea and evening parties. and
told to drop in just when it is convenient ?
The bachelor. Who lives in clover all his
days, and when he dies has flowers strewn
on his grave by the girls who couldn't en-
trap him? The bachelor. Who strews
flowers upon the married mans grave His
widow? Not q bit of it she pulls down the
tombstone that a six weeks grief has set up
in her heart, and goes and gets married again,
she does. Who goes to bed early because
time hangs heavily on his hands? The mar
ried man. Who has wood to split, house
hunting and marketing to do, the young
ones to wash, and the lazy servants to look
after ? The married man. Who is taken
up for whipping his wife? The married
man. Who gets divorced? The married
man. Finally, who has got the Scripture
on his side The bachelor. st Paul knew
what he was talking about" lie that mar.
.ieth does well but he that marrieth not
docs Eetter."
