THE SEVERE WEATHER.
LATEST ACCOUNTS OF THE COLD,
NORTH, SOUTH, EAsTAND WEST.
Tho Cold in tho City.

Saturday was the coldest day of the year.
The thermometer at 8 a. NJ. stood five degrees
below the freezing point, and had only re,
turned to 1t at 10 O'Clock. Almost every poo
of water about the streets was covered with
thick crust Of ice, which resisted the action OF
the sun until the day was far spent, and then
quickly CONCEALED again as the SUMS rays
were removed. Along the banks Of the rivers
the salt wafer also froze into o thick shelf OF
Ice, extending In some places for ten feet
from the shore. Through the marshes above
the Northeastern Railroad depot the falling
tide left numberless snow-white canoples,
some of them covering areas of many feet.
Yesterday, as indicated by the thermome-
ter, the weather moderated somewhat; but
early In the morning there was even more Ice
to be seen than on Saturday. Though the
thermometer has not fallen at any time 80
low as on the 25th of December, 1870, when 1t
stood at twenty at eight A. NJ, yet this spell
of cold may, considering its duration, be re-
gardekas the most severe that Charleston has
experienced for thirty-dve years. The reports
brought by passengers on the South Carolina
Railroad yesterday afternoon Indicate that
thaw had commenced below Branchville, but
that the Ice stood hrm above that point. The
following is the range Of the thermometer for
the past two days: December 2Sth-s A. NJ,

HOW TO GO WEST.
comparison

This is an enquiry which every one should
have tr~thfully answered before he starts on
his journey, and little care taken in exam
ination of Routes wa. in many cases save
much trouble, time and money.
The &C., B. q Q r. R.,' running from
Chicago through Galesburg to Burlington,
has achieved q splendid reputation in the
last two years as The leading Passenger
Route to the west. AT Burlington it connects
with the great Burlington Route which runs
direct through Southern Iowa to Nebraska
and Kansas, with close connections to Cali
tornia and the Territories; and passengers
starting from Kenosha County, on their way
westward, cannot do better than to take the
G. B. q @. and Burlington Route.
This line has published a pamphlet called
'How to go VEST which contains much
valuable Information; large correct map of
the Great West, which can be obtained free
of charge by addressing the General Passen-
ger Agent B. 81 NJ. r. h. Burlington, Iowa.

ANOTHER LIE.

We are Informed that report has been
put in circulation that, at a meeting of
the Common Council last Monday even
ing, on a motion to revoke the license of
john Williams and OH a, na"Sion to amend,
that the matter lie over to the next regu-
lar meeting, thsre being tic, Mayor Farr
voted aye, thereby carrying the amend
ment, postponing action, and defeating
the motion to revoke the lisense for vio-
lation of law. #,.eys- eH-
The facts were that alderman Reed
moved that the license of John Williams
be revoked for violating law; alderman
Schend moved to amend that the matter
lie over till next e Getting; Ayes and Noes
were called and question taken on the
amendment offered by alderman Schend,
and resulted; Ayes, ALDERMAN French,
Limpert, schend, ZahDen, Frantz, and
Mayor. Noes alderman Nichols, Reed,
GAllighan, Durant, Nicol
Before license can be revoked the IL
censee must be convicted of violating law;
before he can be convicted he must have
trial; and before he can be tried he
must be summoned tc appear before the
Council. Such is the law as we under
stand it, and we are informed that the
City Attorney, General Lowell advises the
Common Council that such is the law
John Williams had not been convicted,
had not had trial, and had not been
summoned before the Council. The Com,
mon Council could have refused John
Williams license, and nine-tenths of all
others to whom they granted licences,
but having granted the licences, they can
not now revoke them in violation of law.
The Mayor was right in voting to let the
matter lie over till the next egular meet
ing thai the Council might have time to
act deliberately and understandingly in
revoking licences. To revoke licences
for violation Of law IL violation of law is
not what law abiding citizens expect of
the Common Council. And the eff ,rt to
carry votes against DR.. Farr for Member
Of Assembly on account of his vote as
Mayor in the John Williams case will
fail of its purpose.

Such is the campaign as carried on by
the editor of the Union to secure the ell.
ection ofithe Democratic candidate In this
Assembly District. 1t may truly be char
acterised as campaign OF lies. No lie is
too low or too degrading if it will only
tell No filth and no dirt is too filthy or
too dirty to be used if they will only ac-
complish the desired purpose. The edi4
tor can revel in the use of all of them and
delight in the revelry. Duty to truth and
decency. and to the Republican party and
candidate, compel US to notice him in his
revelry and disturb him in his delight.
And in doing SO we more than ever feel
our inability properly to discharge our
editorial duties. We are entirely unable
to characterize the editors campaign of
lies, of filth,a of dirt. as it deserves.

inability We close the subject, praying

The Corn Crsp.

A writer in the american 4griculturist well says
that the crop is the grand crop of this CONT
nent-the sheet anchor of American agriculture
This is true. The corn crop lies at the basis OF
the pork and beef product, and is the great staple
food of our domestic animals. Its consumption
upon the farm increases the prOductivencss of the
soil, and for this should never be sold
from the farm, as corn, but should be turned into
pork and beef or fed to the growing stock. Ac-
cording to the best scientific estimates, the ma
nure made by feeding corn is worth S665 to each
ton of corn fed. This is item not much
thought of in Kansas as yet but it is one of great
Importance, and will soon he recognized as such.
The same writer with whom We have already
quoted claims that 100 bushels of shelled corn
ought to be raised to the acre in New York-the
climate, he says is capable of doing it. Ii New
York is capable Of producing 100 bushels to the
acre, what limit shall we set to the productive
ness of kansasi But he calls for cheaper and
more expeditions methods of harvesting. He
says:
We have made little or no progress in this re-
spect. We harvest our corn crop Just as we did
thirty years ago. Great improv ements have been
made in drills, planters and cultivatOrs. We can
raise corn much easier, but nothing has been done
to lessen the labor of cutting and husking it.
believe corn Will yet I've harvested rs we har-
vest our wheat-cnt with reaper, bound into
bundles of convenient size for pitching, and
then thrashed husked by huge machine
driven by ten horses a steam engine. 1t must
be powerful enough to take in bundle at time
and the stalks as they pass through can be cut up
and elevated by straw carrier. l believe i'll
less than ten years shall see hundreds of such
machines travelling from farm to farm, as thrash
ing muchines now do, and we shall wonder how
We ever got along without them.

correspondent requires information to
how he can arrive at the true net weights OF
hogs after the gross weights have been ascer-
tanned. We know of no means by which the net
weights can be more than approximately ascer-
tanned. Many of our city packers with whom we
have conversed the subject tell us, that the
suits of various formulas very widely, and even
when 10 other disturbing elements occur, are
largely affected by the time which has elapsed
since the swine were fed and watered, and espe-
cialy by the circumstance of having been subjec-
ted to long confinement, sufficient to induce great
thirst and hunger, and prompt them to gorge
themselves with food and water. However, there
is a rule which will give aproximates results,
though We infer, scarcely near enough to buy or
sell by, and we therefore give it without vouch-
ing for its correctness. Perhaps some of our rea-
ders will subject it to practical test, and give
us the results.
For the first 100 lbs deduct IS for gross; for
the second 100 lbs, deduct l2i for the third 100
fbs deduct 81; all over the third hundred is net.
The net weight of hog 100 gross is IS lbs; q hog
of $50 gross will net 1884, or $50 gross 2O9t net,
and hog, the gross weigh of which is 800 pounds
will net 2564 pounds. From the gross weight of
hog thatgOes over 800, 49, pounds only is deduct
ed, even if the weight should be 400.-National
