trees have shed their raves, and LOOK like
mere skeletons of their former selves. Birds
and insects have migrated or hid themselves
in the earth. We sometimes call tia gloomy
season, and feel that nature is dead. But
why SO? - thousand secret operations are
in progress by which the seeds, buds and
ro1ts of future plants and flowers are not only
preserved but elaborated that when the pro-
life months Of Spring arrive, they may burst
into life in all the freshness and vigor Of a
new BIRTH The frost which binds the
stream loosens the soil, and by disintegra ting
the rocks adds TO its productive power. The
old English adage that
"December's frost and January's flood.
Never BODIED the Husbandman good"
is far from being correct. The frozen clods
crumble dOwn in the Spring go infinitely di-
vided as materially to lessen the labor of the
h~usoandman in preparing the soil for seed.
We might enlarge upon the beneficial effects
of frost during winter, but at present will
confne our remarks TO some of its operations
earlier In the season.
The eject of frost upon vegetables depend:
upon circumstances. If they thaw gradually
without exposure to the light, they receive
but little apparent injury. Scions, and cut
tings of trees. bushes and vines, may be buried
a few inches in the ground, and remain al
winter without injury. OF course they freez'
as hard as the ground with which they arr
covered But they thaw gradually and il
the dark. Potatoes left in the ground Otter
vegetate the next season.. The roots of grass
grain and trees are frozen solid during tn
winter. If they were on the surface of th
earth Bnd thawed in the light they would b
killed, but being thawed gradually and in tn
absence of light they retain their vitality
Apples are often frozen in the cellar, an,
thaw without apparent injury.
The effects of early frosts in the Autumn
upon vegetation, varies greatly at differen
times. Sometimes a slight frost destroys al
vegetable life, while another year, a frost il
which the temperature is considerably lower
appears to do but little injury. There was
smart frost the present season. September q

than the lean of other parts.

Not long since, the Postoffice Depart
ment at Washington became cognizant of
the fact that robberies of the mail were
alarmingly frequent at Elyria, Ohio, and
thus conse quently ordered Thomas P
Shallcross, one of their special agents, to
proceed forthwith to Elyria, and ferret out
the thief, or thieves, if possible. Mr.. Shall
cross promptly obeyed, and soon became
convinced that either the night telegraph
operator or the baggage master at the
EIyria Depot was the guilty party. He
therefore had both men arrested, yesterday
morning at O'Clock. They were arrested
on warrants issued by U. s. Commissioner
j. D. Cleveland, OF this city, and were
brought here. At his office, Mr.. Jesse
Webb, the baggage master, gave bail to re-
appear there at 8 O'Clock this morning.; the
OPERATOR lad of II years-was taken to
Jail, in default of bail. Afterwards he con-
fessed to the detectives, and few friends,
that he, alone, was guilty of the mail rob-
berries. Seventeen pouches had been open
ed !; but the exact number of letters or
amount OF money stolen are not known.
Portions of the destroy ed letters were found
in vault at Elyria station; and at a SINH
lar place at Ridgeville, tour miles east of
the former place. 1t is thought that the
robbery. has been in progress for three or
four months.

Elyria station for fourteen years, and has
always borne reputation for strict hon
esty and integrity.
~ The operator, too, has always been re-
garded as perfectly honest and trust
worthy. He belongs to one of the most re-
spectacle families in Cleveland. 1t appears
that the baggage master, who placed the
most implicit confidence in him, has been
in the habit of letting the operator have his
(baggage master's) key to the baggage
room. in which the pouches were kept, in
waiting for the trains, the Opei ator fire.
quently needing the key in the transaction
of his business during the arrival and de-
parture of trains. Sometimes he would
carry the key for two or three days, the
baggage master in the meantime using the
ticket agents key to the same room. In
this manner the operator had an Opportu-
nifty Of rObbing the mail bags, which, as has
transpired, he could not resist the tempta-
tion to improve.
Jesse Webb was this morning brought
before U. S. Commissioner Cleveland for
examination. S. NJ. Penn, special agent of
the Post Office Department, and several
postal clerks, running between here and
Toledo, were examined in reference to the
mail bags stolen, and the letters found. w.
w. Boynton. Esq, of Elyria, appears for
the defendant. Up to noon no evidence
had been adduced to prove Webb's COM
plicity in the affair.-Pldin Dealer.

The New Hampshire Election and
the Economy of Political Cam
DaigninE.

The political combat in New Hampshire
is growing hot and heavy-hotter and
heavier every day. The contending forces
haze been marshalled, and it is presumed
that at the present writing they are about
equal in strength, pertinacity, and deter
mination to win. Not since the days OF old
Isaac Hill have the granite hills been dis
turbed by the tumult of the gathering of
the clans as they are at this time. And
what is all this stir about? What is all
this steer, kimmer?" 1t
is absolutely whether the people of the ma
ton shall continue to be Overwhelmed by
oppressive taxation; whether change in
the financial policy of the Government is
not demanded; !; whether the country shall
perish in order that the negro may thrive
in all his fragrance; whether, in short, we
shall have plain, honest, economical and
faithful administration of the Government
for the next four years, or one that is cor
rupt, revolutionary and destructive. New
Hampshire speaks ON these points on the
10th of March, and Connecticut responds
o the 9Th of April following. Listen to
New Hampshire IN. Y. Herald.

Teaching by Example-The Ne

/ The news from Haytl Just now ought to
teach our ignorant and infamous Congress
the folly of placing political power in the
hands of barbarOus race. The negroes
ting each others throats in true African
style. We say just now, but, in fact, this
is the normal condition both of Hayti and
all other countries where the negroes have
attained power. From the time when st.
Domingo was emancipated its history has
been one of bloody revolutions and decay.
Is has been the same with all other coun-
tries in proportion to the number and In
fuence of these lbarbarians. This, too, is
what our infamous Congress is bringing
about in the South. This will be the fright
