A,mo.nherIn Phenomena.

Here, in the Northern and Middle
States, the winter may 10Y be said
fairly to have set in, colder and earlier
than usual. In Montreal, cold Of from
Is to rs degrees below zero has been
already experienced. The rivers and
canals we're closed fast for the season
several weeks ago, and all is settling
down into the accustomed channels Of
winter. In tho extreme South and in
the West Indies matters appear quite
different. Hurricanes and tornadoes
have made great havoc, and such a
month of rayagc and desolation 10 the
shipping, houses and lives has rarely
been recorded. No doubt there has
been much exnggcration. As, for in
stance, in the irst reports about the
Island Of Tortola. But the reality proves
sufficiently grave to account for any
stories obtaining crcdcnee.
1t would be interesting and useful to
observe more closely than has yet been
done TO what extent a connection a be
traced between the stormy periods Of
the weather and the earthquakes and
volcanic cruptions so common and fear
full 10 the tropics. Porto Rico has had,
according to the latest accounts, severe
touches Of both visitations. II Is, per-
haps. more easy to conceive that the in
ternnl connections Of the earth's crust
produce atmospheric disturbances than
that mere storms should occasion the
more fearful commissions Of q volcanic
character. 1t can, in fact, hardly be
conceived that earthquakes and rolca-
noes should fail to produce violent and
dangerous storms. The heat liberated
must affect the electrical equilibrium Of
the air. The magnetic disturbances
have been found in some Of these late
storms't to be so great that it was diff
cult and almost impossible to steer a
vessel by the compass. On tho other
hand it is well-known volcanoes are
frequently brought into q state Of activ.
ity BY anything which lets in some OF

%mospheric phenomena naturally belong.
ing to it. Usually, however, our knowl.
edge of these disturbances must begin
with those of the carth's crust. We
cannot go below that MS n general rule,

however, we are becoming increasingly

probable that the carly setting in OIL

cold in Montreal, may be in some way
connected with the volcanic activities
in various parts of tho globe, and the
storms and tornadoes that have dcsola'

In getting wet there is great danger
of taking cold. When n person is wet
he ought never to stand, but to continue
in motion till he arrives at a place where
he may be suitably accommodated.
Here he should strip of his wet clothes,
to be changed for such as are dry, and
have those parts of his body which have
been wet we'll rubbed with u dry cloth.
The legs, shoulders, and arms, are gen.
orally the parts most exposed to wet
they should, therefore, be particularly
attended TO. It Is almost incredible
how many diseases may be prcyentedby ~.

THE VIRGINIA UNION CUB FOR GRANT.
At a regular meeting of the Central
Union Club of Nevada, held in Virginia,
January Il, 1868, on motion it was
unanimously
Resolved, That General U. S. Grant
is the choice Of this Club MS the can-
didate Of the Union party for the ncxt
Presidency.
Re.olred, That all other Union orgau-
izations in this State are cordially in
vited to cooperate with this Club

sold Smar.y from Mud Springs must
have been around Virginia city last
night. No sooner had the Union men
of Gold Hill announced, yesterday,
their intention to organize the first
Grant Club in this State, than
"old Smarty" in Virginia city
jumped the honor by ~''nosing' him.
self before the public in stating
that the job was. already accom-
plishcd-and that the initial point of its
birth was Virginia city ! But, it is just
like the politicians of that side-hill city.
They are always ~"playing second
fiddle to Gold Hill in political matters;
and they then claim the credit Of always
taking the lead. The honest, Gods
truth of the matter in this instance is,
the Club had no regular or called meet
ing last night-the regular meeting Of
the Club being on Friday evenings-and
several members Of the Club from Gold
Hill were in Virginia until near night,
saw some Of the officers, and not o word
was said about a special meeting. The
fact is, some over-ambitious member of
the Central Club, seeing the call Of the
Union men of Gold Hill, published in
the News last evening, put up the job of
passing the above resolutions, no doubt
all by himself, and in behalf of tho Gen.
trail Club. What q joke on Schimmer.

regular meeting on Friday evening were
to take the gentleman TO task for his

GonHAx on HIS 0wy DEFEAT.-The

GoRHAN on HIS Own DEFEAT.-The
New York correspondent Of the Bulletin
writes, December 9th, 1867:
George c. Gorham, of your State,
writes to a friend in Brooklyn, referring
his defeat in the Gubernatorial race to
general causes-'tsuch" (he says) Gas
nervous exhaustion OF the Union party,
oppressive taxation, secondary symp-
toms of a.phyria nigrum, etc; and partly
to local NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. of de-
fcated candidates for State or county
Offices, friction Of the Senatorial contest,
and last, but not least, the libcls Of two
newspapers, controlled by as base and
unprincipled men rs we have among us.
l denounced as false the charges
of the Independent Press, and defed
them to su%bstantiate any of their libels.
They answered by mere reitcration Of
their calumnies to the end. The forty
thousand true men who voted for me
are rindication enough. OF course 1t
pains me to have tho Tribune and such
papers denounce me and the party in
stead of those who defeated both. But
time will show the truth. I nm not con-
sumed with egotism. l try to forgetmy
own wrongs. The Right shall have all
my energies. az shall do good work, l
trust, next year" Mr.. Gorham indul-
ges in representations, something in
tho Colorado vein, as follows: "Tho
negroes seem to vote we'll in tho Rebel
regions. Their Conventions will do
thorough work unless the Rebels take
courage from our reverses OF the North,
and attempt their violent dispersion.
Constitutions being framed and ratified,
if we can then prevail again in the
election Of legislators, Estate and Ma
%tionai, J the States will come back into
the Union black-end-foremost. Then,
unless the Democrats indorse negro suf-
frage, and put a negro ticket for Vice
President, we shall have a Radical vic
tory in 1868. Nothing n prevent this
but q surrender. by Congress or the in
a%uguration by the Rebels Of a social
civil war. The latter would mako the
North q Radical unit again"

The Post Office Department is expert
men,ing with a postage stamp on en-
bossed paper, which seems to afford
good security against fraud. The fibres
Of the paper being broken, canceling
marks almost necessarily penetrate, so
they cannot easily be removed without
destroying the stamp. The adhesive
properties are also promoted, and other
advantages secured, that commend the
invention to favorable notice. The
number Of packages Of postage stamps
lost in the mails during the year ending
June 80, 1867, was nineteen, represent
ing $3.50. The number of packages
of stamped envelopes lost during the
period was seven, valued at Sl,l9l.
