The temperature at Helena, Montana,
may properly be taken as a fair average
for the Territory, and hence for the noun
tain section of the Northern Pacific Rail
road, where climatic difficulties should
be encountered if anywhere. Helena is
on the general route of the Road, direct
ly in the mountains, and but a few hun
dred feet below the highest point on the
line. Notwithstanding the past winter
has been the coolest ever known in Mon
tana, and a surprise to the people, it will
be observed
1. That the average temperature at Hell
ena latitude 46157) for the four months
was the same as that of Philadelphia, al
though the latter city is 1900 feet lower,
! and 450 miles further south.
2. 1t was four degrees warmer at Hele-
ma than at Chicago, and only three de-
grees colder than at Washington.
3. During February and March it was
much warmer at Helena than at Philadel-
phia, Louisville, St. Louis, or Washing
| ton. During March it was nine degrees
warmer at Helena than ut Washington and
| Baltimore.
| L. The average winter temperature at
Kalama, Washington Territory, on the
finished portion of the Northern Pacific
Road lin latitude 46 - was several de
| grees warmer than Louisville, Washing
| ton, or Baltimore, in latitude 30 : The
| greatest cold of the past winter at Kalama
| was IA , above zero.
Letters from members of the Montana
| territorial government, dated March 9th,
state that for three weeks previous to that
time beginning about the middle of Feb
ruary) the weather had been SO mild that
all signs of winter had disappeared; farm
ers had put in nearly all their spring grain
crops, and new grass was three inches
high in the valleys. The significance OF
this can be appreciated when it is rcmcm-
bered that IN the Atlantic States, as late
as March 9Th, intensely cold weather and
heavy SHOWS prevailed; trains were block.

A Wonderful Fowl that Crows with
its Head on.

On last Friday, Mr.. George Forester,
e1-member of the Legislature from Ran
dolph County, and Col. II. S. Heffiin, ex-
member of Congress, passed through La
fayette with a living, headless rooster!
The facts, as related to US by Mr.. Forrest
er, to whom the chicken belongs, are
about as follows: "On the 5th of this
month he had a og-rolling, and, for the
purpose of preparing dinner for the &C.
casion, began at an early hour to dispatch
turkeys, chickens, ETC., among them the
rooster herein mentioned; but the won
derful bird, although his head was cut
smoothly off, refused to die. After the
lapse of ten or fifteen minutes, perhaps,
Mr. Forester, observing that he was still
alive, called in some of his neighbors to
see the unnatural phenomenon. In the
evening Mr.. F. put the headless fowl into
a basket in his room, thinking that he
imagine his establishment to hear the no.
headed chicken crow distinctly several
times during the might. After keeping
him at home nine days, Mr.. Forester
passed through here on his way to Opeli-
ka, where the remarkable sight was put
on public exhibition, twenty-five cents
admission being charged, which paid
handsomely. Mr.. Forester has decided
to visit New York with his "show," and
will doubtless have exhibitions at points
convenient on the route.
This seems to be an almost incredible
story, but is nevertheless true, as many
of our citizens can testify. We not only
saw, but had the rooster in our hands,
and know that there is no deception in
this matter. The life of this remarkable
chicken is sustained by meal and water
introduced into its craw with a spoon.
Last Thursday, ten days after decapita
ton, his roOstership crowed twenty-five
times; and, impossible as it may appear
yet it is said to be true, that he crows
every night, with the most exact REGULAR
ty. and occasionally during the day

How to Ornn ment the Hair.

HI that art can accomplish in identifying,

the human hair, is effected by the use of
BURNETT's COCAINE. There is stimulat-
