HIRAM.

The war meeting alluded to last week, met
pursuant to adjournment on Wednesday eve
ming the 23d ult., and after the transaction of
some unimpsrtant business, adjourned to
meet on Monday evening the 2sth ult.,-the
necessary amount, not having been raised.
Met again on Monday evenina with $780,
90 on the subscription papers. Numerous
attempts were made to have the money paid
over, and applied to the purpose, for which
it was subscribed, but owing to some unfor-
tunate misunderstanding, every effort failed,
and the meeting broke up in confusion, It
is the more to be regretted because other
towns, by well directed efforts, have nearly,
or quite, filed their respective quotas.
A BOVINE IN A FH-0ne day last week,
Mr.. D. G. Tilden, after having fed his stock
in the morning, was startled at hearing an un-
usual noise in the barn. Upon going out he
found fine young COW. partially on her back.
in low manger, and entirely unable to extri-
cate herself. She was believing loudly, thus
giving due notice of her condition. by the on
ly means in her power Assistance was pro-
cured, and she was, with no little dificultya
rescued from her uncomfortable if not dan
gerous situation.
It is supposed that she was hooked by an
other cow, and thrown into the manger, as
they were both loose in the barn.
SOLD ouT.-John Mason. Esq, after hav-
ing resided in this town. for nearly IS years,
has sold his farm, situated in the south part

BRUTAL WIRE WHIpPINe.-The usually
quiet and unsensational town of Windham
was shocked and horrifed by most brutal
outrage committed by temporary resident Of
the town, upon Monday evening last week
The case was heard before Justice Snow
Peter Mulchay, lately section "bcss' on the
a. d Ct w. R. r, came home to his house
upon the evening named, about nine o'clock,
and addressed his wife in passionate and
abusive manner because supper was not
ready, and concluded his greeting by striking
her-knocking her down, and then jumping
upon her with his feet: and threatening to
kill her, went in search of the ak. The wo-
man, though in most pitiful condition, got
out of the house, and kept out the way of her
gentle and affectionate husband. Mulchay
was at once arrested and taken before Justice
Snow. The bruised and beaten woman was
present in Court, covered with her own blood,
looking little like human being. The cul-
prit was stolid and dogged, and the indigna-
ton against him was great. In default of bail
in the sum of $4,000, on the charge of as
sault with the intent to kill, the wife-whipper
was sent to the County Jail.
Only the Friday before this last occurrence,
Muichay whipped his wife and threw her out
Of the house, and on neither occasion was he
in liquor, but vented upon defenceless OBJ
ject the passion base and cowardly nature
dare re. bring into exercise against stronger
opponents.

from the door. But Friday and Saturday
were cold days, not that the mercury has not

transition from " moderate weather. to an or

to have deserted everything. The cold has
not in years penetrated dwellings and cellars
to so great an extent as upon the days and
nights of January list and I'd, 1854.
The thermometer bears witness to change
of forty degrees. from O'Clock a. m. January

rage temperature was ten below zero, though,
in some adjacent localities, fifteen degrees be-
low, is noted. The suffering resulting from
this state of the atmosphere was intense ;
coming upon systems entirely unprepared for
a tension so severe.
Upon Saturday during the day there was
but little variation from 10 degrees below ze-
