A Cold Wlnter Years Ago.

Tho winterof 1871 was famous through.
out New England rs being mich colder
than any which Ind preceded it. Prob.
ably no year since could furnish tOsti-
mony for cold either SO intense or pro-
tractcd. The snow, which covered the
whole country as early Us the'13th OF
November, WIS still found the next
April covering the fences. Tho Boston
Post Boy, for january 70, reports q tent
on the Charles river for the entertain
ment OF travellers. Tho Boston Nctps
Letter, for March 0, tells us that "peo.
pic rido every day from Stamford, Conn,
to Long Island, which is three leagues. !"
Even as far east as Now London, wo are
told that "the ice extended into the
Sound as far rs could be seen from the
town." and that "Fishcr's Island was
united to tho mainland by solid bed. !"
On March %, the Boston News Letter
reports that the people living on Thomp-
sons Island had crossed over to Dor.
chester to church on the leo for the fifteen
preceding Sundays.
As late rs the 9th OF July n letter from
Now London, Conn, reports on the cast
side Of the Connecticut river q body OF
ice as large as two carts can draw, clear
and solid, and adds very artlesaly that
sit might lay there o month longer were
1t not that 80 many resort out OF curiosity
TO drink punch made out Of it." On the
18th Of July snow was still lying in q
mass in the town Of Ipswich, Mass.,
nearly four feet thick.
But the most marvellous record Of that
season is the statement made by Alonzo
Lewis, author of "Tlle Annals OF
Lynn, 1Iass.," that "Francis Lewis,
the signer OF the d Declaration OF Indepcn.
dence, drove his horse from New York
to Barnstable, the whole length Of Long
Island Sound. on the ice."

A Knowing Dog.

There was q panic in Paris street
over tho conduct Of a magnificent To-
triever in front Of the window Of o dealer
in picture frames. He jumped, yelled,
barked, tried TO throw himself through

They we're about TO kill him, but q
philosopher interfered. II seenod to
him that all those eccentriciies Of the
dog had relation 10 portrait in the win

sight Of the portrait Of o lady. That
lady lived In Mrseilles, and the dog had

out on the steam cars the other day, we
observed a man placc o bottle Of tomato
catsup, neck downward, in the rack
above his seat. Presently n friend came
in, aud in n few moments tho friend,
who was cleaning his nails with knife,

for Grant. The discussion gradually be-
came warm, and rs the excitement in.
creased tho man with the knife gesticu.
lated violently with the hand containing
the weapon, US he explained his views on
the question. Meantime the cork joltcd
out Of the bottle overhead, and the cat
sup dropped down over the owners head
and coat md collar without his perceiy-
ing the fact. Directly nervous old 'lady
on the opposite seat, who caught sight
Of the red stain, and imagined it was
blood, instantly began To scream "mur-
der " OF the top Of her voice. As the
passengers, conductors, and brakemen
rushed up, she brandished her umbrella
wildly, and exclaimed: "Arrest that
man there Arrest that willinl Isee
him doit. / SEQ him stab that other one
with his knife till the blood spurted out

rascal, TO take human life in that scandal
Gus manner. / sec you punch him with

tho rear car and soothed her, while the
victim wiped the catsup OF his coat,
