WINTER SCENES AT MONTREAL
The inconVeniences occasIOned by the
present ice-jam In the st. Lawrence,
at Montreal, are well described by a
correspondent of the Boston journal,
who writes as follows, under date Of
the 18th ult.
"Thoreau might well have devoted
a week Of observation to the st. Law
renee, for, whether In winter or SUM
mer, il has many curious habits. In
summer, at ordinary times, no one
would suspect that the cellars along
the banks were in any danger, and YET
twice a year, spring and winter, all
goods along certain streets must be re-
moved from the basement story, and
sometimes respectable merchants have
padded TO their places of business in
a canoe. The Royal Insurance build
ings were constructed at great expense
In order to make the cellars water
proof, and yet a steam pump has been
in operation some days TO dry up the
concern The ice shove which has
just taken place generally occurs about
twice before the river is finally frozen
over. It is in this wise: The ice which
forms in the first of the season upon
the Ottawa and other tributaries comes
uOdhlQ& QOWug GahCuGe diUuB inc UN~
sins and shores, and accumulates to
such a degree as to dam up the water
In various places. Then the river rises
in the attempt to force a passage, and
the great dam is showed along. For
miles the ice is upheaved in the most
rough and Titanic forms. just here
at Montreal it is piled along for sever
al miles at the edge Of the river street,
having come up over all the Wharfs.-
Thousands on thousands of tons are
lying here, some Of it in cakes of
foot In thickness and Of all sizes and
dimensions. When the ice finally sets,
and of this the initiated seem to know
at once, the laborers begin to. make
their road. At best, however, it is a
rough one, and before spring the mar
row country sIeds cut up the snow that
falls on it into thank you marms, ez-
pressly called 'capoos, Of profound
depth This road is used until the
very latest period in the spring, andsas
the breaking up is sudden and violent,
they take boats across 50 as to De
caught floating.

In a Bin

My friends call me an odd man b.
cause I have a liking for the company
and conversation of ragged and un-
couth men, the poor Wretehes whom
I encounter on the streets, and whom
by the promise of a warm meal or
good liquor, [ seduce into the comforts
Of a restaurant or the charities of my
own room. Once comfortably enscOn-
ced with these ragamufins, l manage
to draw from them the frightful and
sometimes wondrOus stories of their
lives, which 1 write down in my book
of Poor Men" and read at times
when my soul is heavy with misery.
There is a world of wisdom to be de-
rived from these narratives, and thus
far [ have found IN their perusaI a
Danacea for my own woes, so much
are they belittled by the comparison.
I seek out only Door mems histories !;

A FLORIDA BRreAbE's FIRsF SfGHT
OF SNOWs-One of the most amusing
sight we ever saw was at Dalton Ia the
winter Of 1864 The first snow had
fallen during the night, and the army
woke up in the morning 20 find the
ground, far and near, the hills and the
gaps, and the little huts that served as
camps-for we had no tents--and the
worka from Potato Knob TO Rocky
Face, all shrOuded beneath a thfckA
white crust. There was a Florida
brigade among the troops bivUuaeked
Just outside of town, and most of the
men of this far Southern command,
when they opened their eyes, looked
on the snow for the FIRST time. It
amazed them at the start, and they
touched it as children touch forbid
den things they approached. 1T as
burned people approach IRE but at
length, after they realized the true
state of the caae aud became satisfied
that it was really snow, which they
had heard so much about but had new
er witnessed before, they abandOped
themselves to an ecstacy OF delight (;
and capeTs they cut were OF the oddest {
description, growing of course out OF
a want Of familiarity with the strange
element, and the circumstance gave
rise to many camp jokes fer the bal
ance of the season.-AdsbU5tte bduner'

MAN AND WWE.-The theory Of
man and wife, is truly very beautiful
and it would be good altogether could
it only be arranged that the husband
should be the greater and the stronger
of the two. In ordinary marriages the

clothed In petticoats or in coat, waist

The Republican State Central Commit
tee met vt indianapolis on Thursday Of
last week, by invitation number of
Representative men from all parts Of the
State pssembIed at the same time to confer
to, ether aud compare opinions in regard
to the political situation, and to suggest
to the party policy for the ensuing cam.
paun. There was full aud free inter
change ofopinion. No ono present ex.
pressed word IN favor OF abandoning any
recognized principle Of the party. The
temperance question was discussed very
freely, aud the opinion was general that,
US party, II should net be recognized =
the license law, il enforced, Is sufficient.
They were ia favor of temperance in all
things. The experience of tho past seems
to have proved that all the Efforts to weed
out inpmperance by laws have not only
proved abortive, but absolutely disastrous
os e,seiiing the good that had been done
by tho temperance societies and the church
es. While the Republican party will aid
these IN every way possible, they will do
aothiug TO keep temperance IN The politics
of the State.
On lnnpCo there was diversity Of
opinion as to the proper policy to be per.
inanently adopted. There were no differ.
cuccs ofopiuion, however, about the nee.
essi,y OF reform in tho finances OF the eoun.

duetion of the public burdens now pressing
so heavily upon the people. The hands
Of the Secretary Of the Treasury should be
tied to prevent him from doing more mis-.
