The storm .


We attempted to recite It's disasters
but the chapter is quite too long for our
columns. TO recite it would be 10 r e.
peat tale of horrors such as before
never startled Western society. Not
that the rigOrs of the storm were great.
er, but on account ofgreater population,
the disasters were more numerous.
To say that cattle and horses have
persisted by hundreds, if not by thou
sands, 10 only 1.-THE Of the awful calma-
ity. But men, women and children
have been lost, frozen to death, and
manned or wounded for life, by hun
dreds, and we forbear to recount them.
But we disagree entirely with many
of our contemporaries in relation to its
being the worst storm that ever swept
over this country; and, also, in relation TO
this being the most rigorous winter ev-
er know here. Within the last seven
years we have seen more than its equal
we have seen a perfect blockade here
for more than week at time with
the thermometer lower than il has aver
aged any week this winter. And when
we go back to the winter of 1867 and
find that the mercury in the thermom-
eters was CONCEALED for five consecutive
days, and that the spirit Thermometers
indicated as low as So and even 56 be-
low zero, we shall revive recollections
which put tie rigors of this rigorous
winter, entirely in the shade. This is
no fable, as full many an "old settler"
can fully attest.

DIED.

AT Lock tlaven, Pa, the 6th instant, Mrs
Jennie H., wife Of James Jefferis, and
daughter Of Hosea b. and Hannah Bates.
of this village, aged IS years aud six
months.
Mrs. Jefferis died of typhoid fever,
after very briefillness, induced doubt
less, by over exertion in the care of.
and great anxity for her husband aud
children who had been sick with the
same disease.
Mr.. Il Mrs. J were married in this
town on the Sth Of April. 1856, being
the first, or among the first white PEG.
pie married in Pierce County. They
lived in the town of Oak Grove for sew
eral years, when they removed to Pen
sylvania. Three children were the re.
suit Of their marriage, one daughter
aud two sons.
For several years the deceased was a
member Of the Baptist Church, and
was one Of the most devoted christian
women that ever reposed in the arms Of
a Savior.
For over forty years Mr. and Mrs.
Bates have been married, during which
time death has never before entered
their households aud now this sudden
aud entirely unexpected stroke, bears
heavily upon them, But they mourn
not as those without hope, since each
has an abiding faith that they will meet
their departed daughter beyond the con.
fines OF the tomb. To the angels who
gently bore her spirit from earth, they
would say:
"She hath done her bidding here:
Angels dear
Bear her perfect soul above,
sersph Of the skies. sweet love!
Good she was, aud fair IN youth:
Aad hsr mind was seen 10 soar.
aud her heart was used to truth:

From private letter from Austin
Davis, we learn that he is mayor of the
city in which he lives-even monarch
Of all he surveys, having received every
vote but one cast at the election. The
chances are that there was but one 9th .
er voter in the city, and that Austin
voted for himself.
He also gives thrilling account of
his narrow escape from death by freez-
ing, having attempted to cross the Mis-
sissippi river on the night of the recent
terrific snow storm.

ST. PAUL has u sensation. and q
lively one too, in the gossip about the
domestic affairs Of Ossian Il. Dodge and
wife, the latter having applied for a
bill of divorce aud the trifiing sum of
fifty thousand dollars as alimony. She
charged iIl-treatment, adultery, etc,
against her gentle spouse, while ne in
turn denies the soft impeachment.
And he goes farther and carries the
war into both Africa and Arabia, back
ing up his charges with numerous affi-
dayits He not only charges his wife
with improper intimacy with other men,
but with gross obscenity, profanity,
indecency and extravaganza Since
she left his house on the first day Of
January, she has run her husband in
debt sos so.
From what we gather from the &C.
counts given in the st. Paul papers, we
are inclined to think the devil is in the
woman any way, and for our friend
Dodge's sake, we hope she will get the
bill, minus the alimony.

TUE lecture By Judge Foster last
Friday evening was well attended. He
was greeted with applause, and listened
to with marked attention. The subject,
as announced by the speaker was, The
Past, the Present, and tie Future Of
Amsrica."
The speaker dwelt mainly upon the
political character of our country, and
dealt more largely in prophecy than
philosophy, predicting that the rising
SUI of this nation is soon to set in
blood.
For our own part, we believe the
bloody crises are past, and that our sun
shines forth in Respondent glory, being
still in the ascendant, with no dark
cloud of human slavery to obscure its
brilliant beams

the learned Judge on this occasion, but

JUDGE FOSTER has serious fore6od
iugs for the future of America, but
thinks if the rising generation should
receive proper instruction from thei,
mothers, there would be a bqre posi-
bility of escape from impending ruin.
Now We have a perfect paDaeea for
the existing social and political evils Of
this nation America is now in the
hands of the rising generation. AL.
ready have the fathers Of this republic
made their bequests-signed their last
will and testament, and the mothers
have no more to DO with it. All that
is needed, then, is few iudicious es
says, or lectures to the young upon
scientific counting. just put the court
ing affairs of America into the hands o.
D. S. Fowler, or George Francis Train
and the future Of America is well secur
ed. So away goes all of your grand
ma ans care, after alb SO be it.
