WEATHER.-There was a notice in the Press
a short time since that the mercury did not
show as low as zero during the whole winter Ct
1868 60 in Portland; afterwards objected to by a
correspondent, whose thermometer recorded
below zero.
On windy morning thermometers about
the city compare very well, while on still cold
morning they differ from each other very
much, running lower on the low land than on
the hills. Two thermometers of good quality,
but not standard, in the centre of the city did
not reach lower than one degree above zero in
the winter of 1868 60.
Our coolest winds are from the west and
southwest and at the Rolling Mills these
winds do not pass any salt water to reduce
their temperature, and thermometer there
shev below zero four times during the same
winter. On Dec. %, 1868, AZ bolew; March 6,
1869, So below, while on hill in Westbrook
it did not reach lower than % zero. On
Dec. Z, 1869. the mercury at the same place was
&c below zero, while in Portland it was above
zero.
Even where good thermometers are used
they will differ on account of being near or re-
mote from salt water, and whether on high or
low land

INDIAN TERRITORY.

GENERAL INDIAN WAR ON THE PLAINS.
CHICAGO, Feb. ga letter received at Gen.
Sheridan's headquarters in this city to-day,
from Camp Supply, Indian Territory, dated
Jan. 23d, says that Bull Bear, a prominent
chief of the Cheyennes, came to that post and
stated that the Kiowas, Camanches and Apa-
ches, who are numerous and formidable, are
making active preparations for war upon the
whites, and had urged the Cheyennes to Join
them. No little apprehension was excited
among the white settlers of the Territory who
heard the news, and it is to be feared that Sc
rous trouble with the Indians is in store for
them at an early day.

admit the ccrtege, the instructor, by way of il
lustration, walked slowly down between the
ranks, saying as he went, "Now L am the
corpse, pay attention" Having reached the
