4 Hard winter.

The winter of 1852 90 was one Of the coolest
within the recollection Of the people of this sec
tion. Many au old gentleman refers to 1t with
the remark 1--WE do not have such winters ~ W,
made in such manner as to leave one to infer
TINT the fact is rather to be regretted The people
OF to-day however seem to stand the greater
moderation Of the climate with equauimity.
On the 18th of January 1858, fourteen years
ngo to-day, the cara of the p, W. & B. R. R. Co.
commenced running across the Susquehanna on
a railroad track bnilt upon the ice. The freight
and passenger cars were hauled over by horses
many ii ip i.spustrs corssing in sleishs and
others Walking.
This mode Of crossing the river was kept up
from Jan. 18th to Feb. 2ith, with but temporary
interruption, when, for greater security the
tracks were removed further up the stream.
During this time, there crossed on the ice 1873
cars, Carrying 10000 tons of merchandise.
We have nat the figures ut hand, but judge this
would look very small compared with tho amount
of freight passing over the new bridge, across the
river in the same length Of time now.
This feat Of taking loaded cars across the river
on the ice, was considered very remarkable one
at the time, and attracted much attention. We
believe the credit of conceiving and carrying out
the design belongs TO Mr.. Trimblc, who after
wards, in the early stage of the late war, made
such strenuous cxertions to destroy the railroad,
which he was at the time, to which we refer, em-
ployed upon.

Yesterday Mt about haif-paet sevea o'clock,
Thomas Doherty, gardener Tor Mrs. Geo. r.
Norrir, of this city, heard some one In the
nairian house scream for help. He hurried
to the house aud met the coachman coming out,
who suii that they were all dying 10 the house.
Doherty hurried in and found the girl whose
screams he had heard lying on the steps insensi-
hlc Another girl who had slept with this one
was also nearly insensible, and Mrs. Norris who
had been able to get up was very giddy, and
seemed likely to faint. Three other inmates
Of the mansion werc affected In similar
manner. Mr.. Doherty Oh entering no.
ticed strong smell of gas, and Immediately rails
ed oil the windows In the house, which seemed
to give the inmates some relief, though Mrs. Nor
ris and the others were 80 sick and faint that
they Ind to go to bed, and physician was I'M
mediately sent for.
The girl found on the stairs was the first to
discover something was the matter. When she
got up she awakened the other girl and remarked
that she had ringing In her ears and appeared
to hear hammering In the room. She then at
| tempted to go down stairs but became insensble
and fell as stated giving the scream heard by the
gardener. Mrs. Norris was SO nearly sutfocated
that she was barely able to crawl upon her hands
and knees, to the door of an adjoining room, in
which u female inmate of the family slept. This
lady was totally helpless, having been more &C.
| riously affected than the others. Her room Ia
occupied usually us bedroom for the children.
but the latter were fortunately absent from home.
The cause Of this partial suiiocation was the cs-
cape of coal gas from the furnace 1t is suppc-
sed the gas must have got into the hot air tlues,
and thus been communicated to all parts of the
building. All the persons injured were doing
well this morning. The coachman felt the effects
but slightly, sleeping in remote part of the

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.

Gold and Government Bonds have advanced.
Whether the advance in gold is caused by the po-
ltical movements at Washington or the action of
the Senate in regard to currency, is not known !;
many think the vote of the Senate points forward
to further Initiation of the currency but it is moth
ing more than the stoppage of contraction.
The advance in 5-20's in New York has been
caused by heavy purchases for foreign orders.
A meeting of the stockholders of the Whining
ton and Reading Railroad was held in Philadel-
phia on Monday, January 18th. Satisfactory re-
ports were read from the President and Chief
Engineer.
With the W. u X. Railroad terminating in Will
mington, and the Raritan Il Delaware Bay Road
completed to Pennsgrove, the advance and pros
poets of our city are beyond computation. Our
merchants do not as yet realize the advantages
they have over cities north of us we have easy
communication with the South and Southwest,
and should secure that t'ade. Parties from Phil
adelpha and New York will locate here, as some
are now contemplating such movements, in order
to reap the benefits of the projected Railroad i'm
provements.

SINGULAR EXPLOSION. corresT oIient of
the Village Record, writing from Pughtowu un-
der date of the 5th instant, says:-
"a somewhat singular accident hap ened In
the foundry of Messrs. Francis & Buckwalter of
Rogers Ford. They had just flushed filling the
furnace, previous to casting, and had thrown on
the top OF the stock quantity of small scraps of
iron filled with snow and ice, which prevented
the escape of the generated gas by the fire in the
back into the chambers leading to the fan, when
1t suddenly exploded, shvering the cast-iron fan
to atoms, tearing the staples and hinges from the
door, breaking the windows of the engine room,
throwing the engineer out Of the room into the
snow, stunning him somewhat, but inflcting nc
| serious injury. The accident was somewhat of
loss to the firm, besides breaking the fan, they
had to drop the bottom of the furnace withou
meltiag Theron, therefore causing loss of con
siderable amount of stock.

The Sussex Journal speaks thus of the hotels and
general appearance of Georgctown:-
Philip C. Jones, Esq, has removed to the
"Brick Hotel" aud Curtis A. Connaway has

bought this property and proposes, in the spring,
to raise it one story higher, fit up the bar and
sitting rooms, and thoroughly repair the house.
The spirit Of enterprise manifested by these gen.

| commendable. With the use Of a little paint and
large quantity of mhite-mash, GEORGETOWN
would compare fayorahly with the neighboring
towns. We hope that in the spring there will be
a general painting and cleaning up, for no money
paws better interest than that which is Judi
ciously used 10 embellishing our homes.
1t also suggests the improvement Of the street,
of that town. These two items constitute IL
