THE SroRM.--The fearful snow storm,
which extended from the Pacific TO the At
Iantic, commenced here OH Friday evening
last and continued three days; during which
time it was almost impossible for one to 90
out doors. The thermometer has ranged from
zero to 81 degrees below. Snow fell TO the
depth of about eighteen inches on the valley
but was drifted by the wind from four to
eight feet in some places. Quite NUMBER q
persons were badly frost-bitten. Stock has
necessarily suffered, but to what extent we
are not advised. Large herds, belonging 70
persons in this valley, were driven TO the
Yellowstone before the storm set in. We are
now having pleasant, sunshlny weather.

A London despatch from France
says it is regarded as significant that
Emil de Girandin, whose views gen.
orally accord with the dominant pub,
lie sentiment in France, declares
himself in favor of the Republic.
He holds that universal suffrage and
the Republic are lnseperable as
cause and effect. 1t is authoritively
announced that Theirs favors the
Republic for the future government.
Mazzini has written letter in which
he says that the excess of the Paris
Communists have done more to in
jure the Republican cause in Europe
than all the adverse influences during
the past hundred years.

Horace Greedy wrote from Mem
phis, when there: 81 am entirely
confident that no considerable num-
Der of Southern people either expect
or purpose to re-enslave their former
chattles; but if you mean to ask,
would the ex-slaveholders choose to
have their former slaves restored to
them as the chattles if they could?
| answer, l am very thankful that
the temptation is merclfully withheld.
Wise and thoughtful men there are
among them, who sincerely and pro-
foundly rejoice that American sla-
very is dead beyond hope of resurec-
ton but these are not the majority.
Two-thirds of the men, with nine
tenths of the women, who formerly
composed the slaveholding caste,
would this day give half their houses
and lands to have their slaves back
again, just as they held them in
1860" He added that there was
much Improvement among the poor
whites that those who fought for Sc
cession believed that they were right,
that the number who acquisce in the
restoration OF Union is daily increas-
ing, aud that the South is steadily re-
covering from its losses and calami-
ties.

The Democracy are clamorous for
the execution of Jeff Davis. They de
nounce the Republicans for not hang
ing or shooting him at the close of the
war, at a time when they were
pleading for his lite. The New
York Citizen, which is by no means
bloodthirsty paper, now cries out
"for sour apple tree, for stout cord
and slippery moose" 1t declares
jeff. to be "murderer more foul
than Cole, more cruel than Miss
Harris, meaner than Mcfarland,
more cowardly than Foster, and more
deceittul than Mrs. Fair; he is MUIR
dering the Democratic Party" Aye,
there's the rub. 1t was quite excu-
sable, if not praiseworthy, in Jeff:
to attempt the destruction of his
country, to assassinate liberty and to
starve Union prisoners but to try to
murder the Democratic Party is a
crime for which there can be no pallia-
ton or forgiveness, in this world or
the next. AS a western district Attor-
ney in summing up against criminal
charged with hen stealing, says: "it
is the greatest piece OF moral turpen-
tine that was ever known since the
Falls of Niagara. "-Haac&eye.

We'll Jack, what are you going to do with
your wool this season.:
Il do not know, James. Heretofore took my
wool to town and traded it at the stores for wool
goods. l got good price for the wool, and
goods were cheap bat my wife is always patch
ing-the boys look ragged"
Did you trade your wool at the factory OF
SlEBEL 81 CO., at Oskaloosa, for their goods ?"
II have never traded there. 1 heard much good
news about their goods and had made up my mind
last season to go there, but when | passed the
Square with any wool, the " COL buyers complete
ly surrounded my wagon l had to stop, else
might have hurt some OF them. They then began
TO argue how well they would do for me,
much better than any else in the world. At
last they persuaded me to let them have my wool.
They gave me a good price for it and their goods
were cheap, but my wife told me the other day
she used half of these goods to keep the other
half in repair"
81 pity you, Jack; but they served you right
We need factories at home, and should never for
get 10 supEoTt them all we possibly can; besides,
have traded at SIEBEL & cos for three years
and fud my boys do not look ragged neither
does my wife wear herself out patching"
''You right, James. shall bring my wool
to them henceforth, and share in the blessings you
have enjoyed for the last three years Good morn
ing, James."
James to himself know Jack will be much
benefited by doing so, and am glad he is goin g
to try it

over by train of cars on the b d M.

ing, and killed. The Haaokeye says
that che got off the train at the I'm
ion Depot, and started on foot for
the north part of the city, in company
with a boy, who was acting as a
guide. They proceeded up the B &
M. track, and when on the bridge
near Schenck's pork-house, discov-
cred that the westward. bound train
was close upon them. In attempting
to get out of the way the old man fell
and was unable to extricate himself.
The engineer saw him, whistled down

but all to no purpose. The unfor-
tunate man was run over, and instant

a brakesman, named Jones, on
the Lake Shore and Michigan South
ern railroad, accidentally fell upon
the track and the train ran over his
legs, tearing them off and mangling
his body. While lying on the track
i.e heard passenger train approach
ing. Expecting that he would not
be seen, and that the cars would run
over him he drew a knife from his
pocket, opened the blade and stabbed
himself twenty-five times about the
breast and left arm. He had tried to
penetrate his heat and produce
death sooner, but was too weak to
guide his blows. The engineer of
the train saw him in time to stop,
he was taken to Madison, where he
died soon after.

The n. Y. Tribune says: "The
new movement of the Democracy is
not without danger to the Republic
an party. 1t is the abandonment of
an attitude traught with great danger
to the country and as such we give
it a cordial, ungrudging welcome.
But we believe tn It while the peo-
pie will rejoice at the giving up of
the Democratic opposition to the
Constitution, they will still prefer to
confide the management of its de-
defense to hands that have never
opposed it. Democracy, from what
ever motives, have done patriotic
act. They have surrendered to the
Republicans. The people will see
in it final acknowledgements that
the Republicans were right in the
past, and further reason for trust
ing them in the future"
