The late cold weather produced ter
rible effects up in the "City of Port Hen
ry." One mans brain was actually con-
gealed, and it was painfully interesting
to listen to his strange phantasms. He
took to writing to the HERALD in an in
coherent sort of way, abusing and misrep-
resenting Ticonderoga in relation to the
much talked of ferry. But the poor fell
low ought not to be held responsible for
what he said.
One day last week a company OF insane
mon came down from Whitehall and at
tackled the workmen engaged in building
the ferry. One poor man evidently i'm
agined himself to be Ethan Allen, and
talked very nearly after Aliens style,
only he didn't say anything about the
Continental Congress. No use, gentle
men, to get angry and crazy about it. If
bad comes to worse, and Ticonderoga
eventually becomes the head of naviga.

strong man, nor is he very short, but he
never can see man in trouble without
offering to lend helping hand so in at
tempting to rescue his friend Baker, he
slipped in himself, but he could not rem
der Mr.. Baker much assistance, for he
found it utterly impossible to stand on
the bottom and have his head out of
water at the same time, though he tried
both ways alt ernately to his entire salts
faction. Finally assistance came and rem
dered an obituary unnecessary and quite
out of place. Hence, our brovity this

THE HAZARDS OF WINTER.

IHE HAZARDS OF WINTER,
The feeble and delicate dread the winter, anG
with good reason. The weather at this sea, ,or
has depressing effect upon the vital organs and
the animal sprits, and they have no vitality Of
mental animation to spare. The aged and infirn
in whom the fame of life is waxing dim, are |.
ways unpleasantly affected by the temperature
of winter, aud should fortify their system
against it. The extra vigor and resistant poye,
which the enfeebled system requires to enable il
to meet with safety the assaults of cold and
damp, may soon be acquired by the regular use
Of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. The tonic effect
of this wonderful medicine is soon apparent In
an increased appetite, a more active digestion,
and brighter, happier frame of mind. Food is
the fuel of the body, and if it is not properly di-
gested the fires of life burn low. When this is
the case, the disability can always be remedied
within short space Of time, by taking full
dose of the Bitters twice day. The stomach
will soon begin to perform its allotted task regu-
Is1y and steadily; the food, being thoroughly as
simulated, will yield the amount of vital heat and
noyrish ment which the body requires under the
extern al pressure of cold, and the winter all
meuts which are apt to assail the weak and I'M
toned physique will be avoided.

REDUCTION OF THE NATIONAL DEBT
OVER ONE HUNDRED AND TEN MIL
LIoNs.-The national debt was reduced
over 100000 during the month of Jan.
uary, and $110,000,000 since the frat of
March. Thus, Notwithstanding the great
reductions in taxes, is the good work going
steadily on, and the end pronounced i'm
possible by the democracy-and which
would have been impossible under demo-
cratic mansgement-is being gradually
reached. The rebellion was put down in
spite of democratic prophecy and opposi-
ton, and in defiance of the same prophecy
and opposition, the debt incurred in put
ting down the rebellion, is being slowly
but surely wiped out. Under democratic
management, State taxes and our State
debt are being rapidly increased under
republican management, federal taxes and
the federal debt are being diminished.
The same contract holds good every where
Democratic rule means extravaganza,
high t,xes and increased Indebtedness.
Re ubljcan administration means econ
omy, reduction of taxes, and tbs pay
ment Of all honest debts.

THE ARGUMENT OF FAoTs.-With the consent
of the parties concerned, the following facts are
made public: On the 22d of October last, Levi
NJ. Phillips, civil engineer, residing in Harlem,
was suffering from an obstinate and severe bilious
affection, accompanied by great bodily weakness
and utter loss of appetite. In compliance with
the wish of friend, tMr. j. 8. Latrobe, Of 40
Amity Place, New York; Mr.. Phillips commenced
taking Plantation Bitters. He had no faith, he
said, but would "make the experiment" We
rive the result, as related by Mr.. P. himself, at
So Park Place, on the 3oth of November. "Imet
Latrobe the other day in restaurant" said he,
.sand told him that the preparation saved my life
say so now. I weigh fourteen bounds more
than did five weeks ago, am quite well, and as
to eating-well, ask me to dinner and you'll see. !"
Facts like these are worth thousand assertions,
and Mr.. Phillips and his friends are at all times
ready to indorse them.
.There is but one opinion in regard to Sea
Moss Farine. All speak in its praise, and all
like it. It is found to be q great favorite with
all classes Of our people, and will prove q great
blessing to the poor. It is very cheap, and will

STATISTICS OF THE CENsUs.-The agri-
cultural statistics Of the census returns
will be ready for publication at an early
day, and will show many interesting
facts now rot generally known. They
will prove that there has been consider
able decrease in the amount of live stock
raised in New England since 1860, while
the business of market gardening, in the
vicinity of the cities and villages, has
grown very rapidly. One consequence Of
this is a marked improvement in the style
of living afforded by the middle classes,
as shown by the greater variety found on
the tables of mechanics and improved
modes of cooking. 1t is thought that this
will result in noticeable improvement
in the health of the people. The mortal
ity statistics will be very much more
complete than those of any previous CEN
sus, and though the death rate of 1870
may appear greater than that of 1860,
which was reported at / in 80, it Is sup
posed that this will show rather a more
faithful record than an Increase of NOR
tality. The bane of all vital statistics is
the unknown" column, and this Gen.
Walker expects to reduce from so to go
per cent. below that of 1860.
