LETTERS FROM THE SHORE.
Remarkable Weather-D Disasters ON the Sea
The Temperance Cause-Deaf Mutes-
New System of Instruction.

DEAR HERALD We have had re-
markable Autumn. The weather has
been like May, and still is like the
last OF Spring rather than the first of
Winter. The other day q little Girl
gathered somo violets. | have Just
looked at the thermometer on the
north side Of tho house, and il stands
at AZ above zero. The pastures are
quite az green as they usually are n
April The Autumn has been un-
usually dry too and tho wells are low.
The swamps that are wont TO be fill
ed up as Winter approaches are pas
sable to loaded carts. In q hundred
years there has not been such q seas
on as this.
Good aealth and prosperity pre-
vale on the land, but on the sea dis
aster. Many a sailors wife has been
widowed by the Autumn storms at
sea. There arc three ships that
ought to have been in port two
months ago-ships in which tins
ncighborhoud is interested, and every
community has its own There has
been draft Of men along the sea-
board One brave captain has been
out two hundred days from San
Francisco TO Liverpool, and he ought
to have arrivedin hundred aad 80 at
the longest. The owners have Given
up the ship his poor wife is cast be-
tween fear and hope her oldest son
is on board with her husband. Tho
coast is lined with wrecks.
The temperance cause is prosper
ing. The courts of law are begin.
ming to yield to public opinion
Time was when it was impossible TO
get twelve men to agree to a verdict
against the rum seller. But that
time has gone by. Our Superior
Court and eur Supreme Court have
both OF late given us verdicts against
rum. Two barns have been burned
in consequence. Both belonged to
prominent temperance men. Both
were set fire right on the heels of the
verdict against the rum sellers. Was
slavery ever more barbarous? Well,
those torches will fire the hearts Of
the people. They will not discour-
age the temperance movement
They will awaken by their glare the
sluggish and Indifferent to the fen
dishness Of that traffic which resorts
to such opposition
Another item that will interest the
Herdtd readers is this: A new sys-
TEN Of instructing deaf mutes to
speak is being taught here in our
midst. A man by the name of Jon
athan Whipplo is the author OF it.
He teaches the deaf to articulate and
to read the lips. | heard q lecture
the other night by Zevah G. Whip
pie, grandson of Jonathan Whipple
in which he showed the effects Of his
system upon little deaf, and dumb
boy named Willie Downing. In a
years time the boy has been taught
to converse with his teacher by
watching his lips when he speaks,
and found that he could understand
me by watching my lips if | spoke
very slowly.
What satisfaction it must be to
the parents Of such children to have
them instructed TO speak. Mr.. Whip
pie is satisfied that any child can be
taught to speak and read the lips.
The little boy in question certainly
stored it. La our newer states deaf
and dumb instruction should Be Civ
ca on this system.
With good wishes for the HeraH
readers close this letter.

AGRICULTURE IN NORTHWESTERN
WIscoNsGN.-The Times, published in
the Northwestern corner Of Wiscon-
sin, claims that the agricultural capa-
cities of that section are unsurpassed.
The land is generally cred mari, -
in somo places mixed with sand and
black loan. From 30 to so bushels
of wheat per acre are frequently
raised. Oats, barley, rye and peas
are sure crops and give abundant
yields, while, the Times claims, for
potatoes, turnips, cabbagcs, bcets, etc,
that section is unrivaled. The natur-
al grasses that abound in the valleys
and bottom lands are nearly sufficient
to supply present demands, but timo-
othy, rcd top and clover all thrive
well.
The fact that when winter sets in,
there is no alternate thawing and
freezing is much in favor of fall sown
crops. The SHOWS that fall in De-
cembcr remain until April,
Sugar maple, white ana yellow
birch, spruce, poplar, ash and oak are
found in abundance, while white pine
Is found in some places On the
prairies the winter winds are severe
and cause the snow to drift, but farms
cleared in the woods are not subject
to these winds.

g0g~ The Madison Democrat says
that it don't do to bet on a Wisconsin
winter, though present indications
all favor the belief that the present
will be warm and open one, In
1855 farmers plowod their fields, and
outdoor work went on uninterrupted
until the 20th OF December when
presto tho temperature sank to 20
deg. below zero ina single night, and
for fifty-siX continuous days was at
no time above 10 degrees. 1t turned
out the coolest winter ever known in
America.

IRON IN WIsCoNsIN.-The Oshkosh
Northeastern says that in making the
survey of the Northwestern railroad
through Sank county, valuable de-
positories ofiron ore were discovered
1t further says: We were informed
some time since by the gentleman
who is making geological survey Of
the lead mines, that iron ore Of good
exists in the north part Of Iowa coun-
ty. These discoveries show at least
five localities in the state where the
repositories Of iron ore must soon
prove Of great value, to wit, in Dodge
county, IN Sank county, in Jackson
county, in Iowa county, and in the
neighborhood of Lake Superior
There is no reason why we should
much longer depend on either
England, Wales, or Pennsylvania for
the valuable metal"

INTERNAL REvENUE.-None of the
annual reports submitted make a
better showing for the Administers
ton than that Of Mr. Deano, Com
missioner of Internal Revenue. The
exhibit made in this report establish
es certain things concusively. First.
the action OF Congress in July last in
removing some 100000 oftaxes.
although opposed at the same time as
suicidal by Secretary Boutwell,, was
timely aud well-advised second
that several more items of internal
tax, especially that on incomes. can
safely be repealed during the present
session (; third that the time is near
at hand when, with such an honest
and efficient administration Of the
revenue laws as we now have, the
tax on spirits, tobacco and fermented
liquors, added to the proceeds Of a
reasonable tariff will meet all cur
rent needs of the Government and
steadily cancel the public debt;
fourth, that while holding the Pres
ident and the Republican party to a
strict accountability we had better
beware OF any movement which.
however well intended, would help
to place in charge of our national
finances the ring that now rules and
robs the State and city of New
York.

Mr.. EDIToR,-The Whitehall Chronicle
in progress between Fort Ann aid Richland
for the Transcontinental railway, which af-
ford great satisfaction to the friends of the en-
terprise. Two parties of engineers were plac-
ed in the field, one moving from Richland
east by the way of Bonneville, the other from
Fort Ann by way of Glen's Falls, the two
parties to move forward to point agreed up
on at Stony Creek, or West Canada Creek,
according to the character of the ground near
the point of junction. The Fort Ann parry.
in charge OF Mr.. Green, well-known railroad
engineer OF Saratoga Springs, has run line
from Fort Ann to Piseco Lake by way of
Glen's Falls and Conklingvile, to the Piseco
river, on an average grade of fifteen feet to
the mile, thence up the Piseco river on a
grade of fifty feet to the mile for eight miles,
thence from Piseco river to West Canada
Creek, over grade of forty feet to the mile.
thence ten miles due west, which completed
the distance assigned to the Glen's Falls par
ty.
On the lst of February the party commence
ed to make more thorough survey, with a
map and profiles of the route, and estimates
OF the expense for constructing it. OF the
seventy-four miles surveyed, fifty-nne are
through an open country and fifteen through
the wilderness. Forty-five miles of the route
are along the courses of the Hudson, the Sa-
candoga and the Piseco rivers to Piseco Lake,
thence across the divide between the waters
OF the Hudson and West Canada Creek, from
which place to Boonville practical route is
conceded. From Rchland to Bonneville COM
ing east, there is a rise of 62O feet in a dis
lance OF thirty miles, with no grade exceeding
thirty feet to the mile. From BoonyilIe to
the Piseco summit a distance of forty miles,
rise of less that 500 feet is required.
From Richland to Piseco Lake, a practical
BILE line has always been assumed, and the
difficulty in the way of direct route from
OSwego to Glen's Falls has been Anticipated
on the line from Piseco Lake east. The re-
suits of the survey from Glen's Falls due
west to Piseco Lake and across the divide
into West Canada Greek, has satisfied the
friends of the direct route to Oswego, of its
entire practicabilty. Former SURVEYS from
the Hudson, toward Lake Ontario have aim
ell at Sackett's Harbor insteal of Oswego,
and it is now believed that line encounter
ing no grades exceeding fifty feet to the mile
on either side will be required between Fort
Ann and Richland. r.1 .r-
The direct distance from Richland to Fort
Aim is 12O miles, while the distance by rail-
way will probably reach 145 or $50 miles.
From Richland to Oswego the distance is %
miles, making the distance by rail from Os-
wego to Fort Ann by way OF Boonyille and
Glen's Falls from ITO to IT'S miles.
Although the elevation to be overcome is Lieh
above tide water, the approach ora either side
50 gradual as to regrees no ta Hone gas ss
ceedlng 30 feet to the mile will be encounter
ed in coming east from Chicago to Rutland by
the new line and the Michigan air line road.
