AN UNTIMELY COLD WAvE.--A severe
"cold wave" most decidedly out OF time,
swept over the country FridIy night and
Saturday, enveloping pretty much every
section from the Atlantic ocean to the
Rocky mountains and from Canada to the
Gulf. In northern New Hampshire and
Vermont the thermometer marked about
20o above zero: in Ohio, Indiana and X en-
lucky from II to p above, while at Mont
gomery, Ala, and Augusta, Ga, it was
down to Il above zero. Ice formed quar-
ter of an inch thick at Nashville, Tenn,
and an eighth of an inch as far south as
Cornth, Miss. All exposed vegetation,
especially fruit, cotton and tobacco, was
badly injured all over the western and
southern states.
a violent snow storm served rs an ac-
compartment TO the cold wave in several
sections, especially in northern New Eng
land. Iitteton and Lebanon, y. H., got Il
foot, Gorham II inches, and White River
Junction and Woodsville IL inches. There
wss-a heavy, fall Of snow in western New
York State, Ohio, aud some portions OF
Kentucky.
A fierce gale OF wind from the west and
northwest swept over Michigan, Missouri
and Iowa, Friday night doing much dam
age. At Menomonee, Mich, the ice was
blown on shore to the depth Of 80 to b feet,
and damage was done to the extent OF $50,
900. \ large number of dwelling houses
and barns were crushed and swept away,
the inmates of The dwellings barely eScnp-
ing with their lives.

was an action TO recover for taxes paid by
the plaintiff under protest to the defendant,
who was a collector for the town Of Will
inington. The evidence on the part of the
plaintin tended to show that he had deter
mined to change his residence on account
of being unjustly taxed, and that In 1867 he
gave his farm to his children aud moved to
Pennington, where he remained for little
over year; that he then returned to his
old place on visit to his children, aud the
next year again returned to Bennington
that be afterwards purchased n place in
Nottingham aud made his residence there,
hut visited his children in Wilmington
each year. The defendants testimony went
to show that the plaintiff made his home in
Wilmington after his return from Ben
nington in 1868; that he did, on the last of
March in each year, pack his valise ard
journey to Bennington, for one or two
wears, and afterward TO Whitingham, but
returned each year to Wilmington in May
or June, where he remained until the last
of March the succeeding year; that the
plaintiff was listed in 1870, and that his son
paid his taxes without objection. 1t was
claimed by the defendant that if said Chase
made his home at Wilmington for the cur
rent purposes of life, that then Wilmington
would be his residence for purposes of tax
alton. The taxes paid, for which this suit
was brought, were assessed upon the lists
of 1871 and 1872, and the questions submit
ted to the jury were whether upon the lst
of April in these years the plaintiffs resi-
dence was in Wilmington. Verdict for
PHI. for 500.

ton of trespass for injury 10 the plaintiff

that the plaintiffs wife and her sister went

their return stopped at the residence OF
Mrs. Dickermsn Oh Main street that while
the plaintiffs horse and carriage stood
near the sidewalk in front of said house,
tue defendant came along with his heavy
baggage wagon with four horses attached,
and in attempting TO pass the defendants
carriage, struck it with the wheels of his
