After the Dreadful weather OF last week yesterday

up their accustomed practice OF betaking them

had been beguiled from mis- home by clear sky

to be further drawn by the magic spell Of the church
bells and by memories OF q God fearing childhood
within the sacred precincts OF the temple. The
Kindness OF Providence in regard TO the weather,
therefore, though it may have tempted some OF the
harder cases among the reprobate into unusual
paroxysms Of sabbath breaking, was, on the whole,
favorable to the interests OF religion, and the
kingdom Of Heaven gained, doubtless, goodly

Aroostook.

Mr. Pulslter, who is taking notes Off
cially at thf present term of the Court in
Aroostook County, sends to the Lewiston
Journal some interesting sketches of the
locality, and of The prominent citizens.
We make the following extract
The citizens of Aroostook all seemed pleased
with their residence. They believe in Aroos-
took they believe in themselves; they believe
in their climate, that the dry latitude of Fort
Kent is the best in the country for consump-
tives. Two of its first citizens, Madigan and
Dickey, credit their life and health to the salu-
brious air of northern Aroostook, which re-
stored them from imminent pulmonary con-
sumption. There are many wel-off citizens of
Houlton, among whom are mentioned, Mansur,
Madigan, l.. Powers, Cyrus NJ. Powers, Wood
bury, the heirs of Shepard Carey. Frisbie, Man
sur, Pummer, Dunn, FOgg, Tenney, Berry,
Nelson Herrin, &C., &c.
My business throws me most with the law
yers. On inspection, should say they were
able to keep the wolf from the door. James c.
Madigan, Catholic democrat and leading law
yer, IS perhaps the wealthiest citizen of the
county, and maintains style of elegant and
comfortable living. His wife is the niece Of our
former representative to Congress, Albert
smith. Madigan cultivates his acres surround
ing ms mansion on the legal maxim, qui facit
per Mt"m JdcH per Sc. From what eX-
perence your correspondent has had in farm
ing, he would say as Judge Tenney said nv the
snow storm, he would rather FACET Der alum
than face-t per Sc. Madigan has in his garden
a spring, the running water from which he ar
rests and expands into basin of some In
dozen rods in circumference, and then again
into another, in which he is rearing salmon
trout, now passing their second winter. His
leading competitor in the courts is LlewelIyn
Powers, a young man OF three and thirty, form
err County Attorney, now Collector of Customs,
graduate of Albany law school, the excellent
training Of which shows itself in the readiness
with which he meets and debates the questions
as they arise, but is trifie too earnest in his
jury trials, and wastes vital energies. Charles
NJ. Herrin presents a question to the court very
neatly.

WHY PARIS SURRENDERED. AT last
we hear the truth respecting the provis-
ions in Paris at the time of the capitula-
ton. The Berlin Stats Anzeiger records
u communique from the French govern
ment to the effect that since Janu airy 10,
the amount Of bread daily distributed was
300 cwts., that is, IL per cent. less than
what is consumed in ordinary times, when
there are so many other articles of food to
back it, But even at this low rate, the
flour left would have sutficed only for
seven more days. Besides bread, moth
ing but horse flesh was left, there being
still 80 900 horses in the town out of the
100, 900 it had at first. OF these $4,000,
no less than G50O were indispensably
necessary for the ambulances, the mill
tary transports and the maintenance of
communications. Reckoning about 30
grammes per head per day, Paris in the
last stage Of the seige daily consumed $50
horses, a number which, after no more
bread was to be had, would have increas-
ed to 5000. We may add that Nj. Favre
expressly stated at Versailles that the
last bread was expected to be eaten on
February 5. Paris, then, on the day OF
the capitulation, had meat and bread for
eight more days. In these eight days
5000 of the 26,50O would have been
aughtercd. The remainder Of 81, 300,
ut the rate Of 5000 per day, would have
Just been enough for an other week. In
other words, Paris might have held out
fifteen days longer, il it had consented to
subject itself to useless and. no doubt,
most injurious privations. Berlin Cor
