and devoted friends therefore, Be it

How to Trent Frozen Parts.

Put the frozen parts into water III which
there is a considerable portion of ice in
small pieces. The ice will keep the tenn
perature of the water down to the requisite
degree of GOODNESS, but there will be no
danger Of the freezing going on while the
water remains uncongealed. A thermome-
ter is very convenient to test the tempera-
ture of the water. If one becomes frozen
at distance from house, it would be ad-
visable to plunge the hand as deep as posi-
BILE into drift Of snow, and take some of
that to apply to the afflicted parts, as it will
he at temperature much above that on
the surface. Nothing is better settled than
that the frozen portion should not be
rubbed, as the flesh would become very
sore in consequence. The flesh near to
that which is frozen may be rubbed, how
ever, to good advantage, as that will has
ten the circulation of the blood.

CONSUMPTION.

A writer in the Atlantic Monthly gives
some startling evidences to prove that
consumption is mainly caused by the damp
ness surrounding the abodes of those at
tackled by the disease. He says that ex-
tended and repeated observations in En-
gland and Massachusetts, show beyond
doubt that, other things being equal, con-
sumption among the people is in direct
proportion with the moisture of the locali-
ties where they live. He thinks that con-
sumption is in no ordinary sense heredi-
tary disease, and believes that with proper
precautions in building houses in dry
houses are already built, this terrible dis
ease may be robbed of full one-third of it's
victims at once, and may be eventually ban
i5hed from among men entirely.

ALBANY, N. Y, Jan. 1.-Governor elect
Hoffman was this morning escorted to the
State capitol by the ninth brigade, Ma
tional Guard, and company Of cavalry, to
be inauguated. Notwithstanding the storm,
which is the worst of the season, large
crowd were present to witness the cere
mony.
Governor Fenton and staff, followed by
Governor Hoffman and staff, entered the
Assembly Chamber at o'clock. Governor
Fenton elect in cordial and congratula
tory manner, surrendered to him the symbols
of Office.
Governor Hoffman replied in an equally
complimentary and congratulatory speech,
and subsequently, with Lieut.. Gov. Allen
@. Beach, was sworn in by Judge Nelson.
After the ceremony the Executive chambers
were opened and Mrs. Hoffman received

Death of "a Celebrated Irish Clergyman.

The Irish Presbyterian Church is in
deep sorrow at the loss of Rev. Henry
Cooke, DID,, LII. D., who died on De-
cember IS, 1868, at Belfast, in the 91st
year Of his age. He was most remarka-
bic man, and as preacher and orator he
was without a parallel in the Church. For
the long period of sixty years his public
life has been one of unceasing toll. He
was equally known and as much sought
after in England and Scotland as he was in
Ireland. His splendid eloquence and won
drous rhetorical power were greatly aided
by the character Of his memory. He seem
ed never to forget anything that he had
heard or read, and he always recollected
the fact or the incident just at the time when
his subject requiered it as proof of illustra-
ton. His readiness in debate was marvel
lous. He never wanted a word. He nev-
er hesitated. He was never taken una
wares, and he always rose in power and
brilliancy in proportion to the vigor of his
opponent. Although he was attached to
the Presbyterian Church, still his expan-
sive affections embraced all good men. His
decease will be extremely regretted by
many in this land, who knew him in for
mer days.-Phil. Ledger.

this definition we may learn that education

strengthen, elevate and purify our intel

other class aims at a preparation for the

Recon In Practice.

We have submitted with patience and
quietude to the Inevitable results Of Con-
gressional reconstruction. In the history
of the world there never has been an in
stance gilmore quiet-nay, humble submis
sion to all the natural and forced results of
the war, than that presented by the South
ern people. Yet is there a human soul in
all this land that does not look at our
awful condition with shame and sorrow !?
Can any American read of the startling
atrocities of the Arkansas militia and the
Georgia negroes, without a glow of manly
indignation mantling his checks and just
impulse of passion kindling his eye
Since the beginning of time down through
all succeeding ages, no commissions, wars
and crimes which have blackened the his
tory of mankind, to the present day, no
time or age or people have ever before
witnessed degradation more CALLING, a
despotism more cowardly, or vindictive-
ness more Unsuitable, than that which reigns
in wicked, riotous power over the PROSTATE
people of the South.
From Arkan. as, helpless citizens fleeing
from armed bJdics of men acting under
the orders o. The Governor, seek refuge in
other States, while these official wolves
and hyenas are drinking the blood of the
best of the people who fall into their hands.
In Georgia, women and children fly from
their homes and seek refuge from prowling
and murderous bands of negroes. Whole
districts of country are depopulated of their
white residents, while murder, rapine and
arson stalk abroad with barbarous fury.
From Louisiana the news is but little bet

State violence and bloodshed are of fire.
quent occurrence.
This condition of affairs appeals most
powerfully to the Government, by whose
interference in the affairs of the States,
these things have been brought about.
These helpless people need aid and pro-
lection. Their civil governments are in
adequate or unwilling to do anything for
their welfare-in fact, so far as Arkansas is
concerned, the Governor is himself the
head and front of the mischief. Certainly
these things cannot long be permitted in a
land protesting to be civilized. Humanity
at least, if not sympathy and good will,
demands that they should cease, and not
be permitted to be hid by the clamor in
which party seeks to bury. them.

New York Dry Goods Market.

The activity in domestic cottons. T.
which there were some premonitory symp-
toms last week, set in with very decided
indication of increasing strength early III
the week after our last reports had been
made up. The growing tightness of the
money market were anything but fayora-
BILE to a speculative movement; but the
high price of the raw material rendered
higher prices of manufactured goods in
evitable, and the moment an attempt WAS
made by certain leading iobbers to increasr
their stocks, the manufacturers at once al.
vanced their prices, and very lively time
ensued. 1t will not be thought strange
that the jobbers should be anxious to pur-
chase at the ruling rates of last week, when
it Is remembered that cotton is now sell
ing at about ten cents pound higher than
it did last year, with strong indications o.
still higher prices. Most of the standard
makes have advanced from one cent 10 70
cent and half yard.
The transactions in unbleachcd goods
have not been on so large q scale as in the
finer grades of bleached shirtings and
sheetings. Prices, however, are very firm,
but rates are not fully established. The
stocks in first hands of the better qualities
of shirtings was pretty well cleared out by
the close of the week. The excitement
among the leading buyers of bleached
goods led to the clearing out of 4 large
part OF the stock in first hands early in the
week. The rise in prices of the finer grade.
Of hleached goods is well maintained, and
sales have been freely effected without
causing any tendency to n decline. The
demand for drills is good for the season,
but mostly for export. Prices steady
Apron checks and stripes and ticks are
firmly held at quoted prices, but sales are
small. Denims and cottonades are rather
slow of sale. Prices are without material
change.
Printing cloths have undergone good
deal of excitement, and the stock of stan
dard makes in first hands has been very
greatly reduced. Prints have advanced
about one cent yard, aud prices are firm
at the advance; but sales have not been as
large in other descriptions of cotton fab
RIGS. Agents have attempted to advance
rates of standard prints to - cents, bat
considerable sales have been made at l..
In rolled jaconets and cambricks there has
been more doing since prices advanced
but transactions have not been very large
and prices are steady. In muslin do LANES
the trade is limited to the supply OF immo-
diate wants and the demand is principally
confined to the new and attractive pat
terms. Prices steady.
Woolens are without any change OF lnl-
portance. The demand for cloths is limi-
ted to the better grades. Ovorcoatings
and cloakings are in fair demand. Prices
steady. The demand for fancy cassimcrcs
and satinets for the spring business Is
moderate for the present; but the clothing
houses have commenced their purchases,
and prices are well sustained. There has
been but little doing in foreign goods, and
the importations are very light.

Grant and Carpet-Rarxers

General GRANT is reported to have ex-
pressed his opposition to the election to
the Senate from Missouri of CARL ScHuRz,
whom he regards as San adyenturer and
carpet-bagger.
Inns Is certainly going home very soon
upon ones friends, for without the support
OF adventures and carpet-baggers and

not now be in position to oppose the
