The Richmond Wing says: Mr..
Daniel Morgan White has presented
to the State Library a door-key which
he found in 1867 among the ruins of
Blennerhassett's house, on Blenner-
hassett's Island, in the Ohio river, 3
miles below Parkersburg, West Vir-
ginia. Tho Blanncrhassctt house was
burned about 60 years ago, and the
key is marked with every evidence of
having been subjected to intense heat.
The Blennerhassett mansion was
much like Il feudal stronghold, and in
its time was the wonder of the Vest
crn country. It was there that the
Blcnnesllassctts and Aaron Burr dwelt
in almost princely magnificenca, and
INDUCED those dreams of empire in
connection with Mexico that caused
the arrest of both and the trial of Burr
for treason.

A late Newfoundland letter saws

A late Newfoundland letter SAYS :
There ia no record of such ice fields
IS have been sliding past our shores
this season. The sealing captains re-
port the ice in many instances twenty
feet in thickness, and as hard as float
ing masses of granite. Had the sea-
son been . stormy one this ice would
have played sad havoc among our
@ect. From the 9th of January, when
the ice first appeared here, till the
It'll ct May 1T was never out of sight
a hugh aiver Of ice slowly floating
past. Ships that came through it re-
ported it to be two hundred miles in
breadth. Its length is unknown, but
in all probability it extended from
Baffin's Bay to the Gulf Stream, q dis
lance Of 1900 or 1000 sailes. The in
tense cold Of this wiutcr seems to
dlave converted the Whole surface of
the sea along Greenland into ice fields,
aud no sooner was one borne away on
:the bosom At the Arctic current than
another was formed. One would sup
pose that such an enormous ice de-
livery would temporarily lower the
temperature of the Gulf Stream itself
and give us Il cold sumner. Even at
tlis date vast quantities Of ice are
passing south, though not i'll sight.
The first two outward bound mail
steamers drem Liverpool were unable
to enter the port of St. Louis owing
to the ice. aud had to run on to Hal
ajax; and the sane is true Of the first
two holaeward- bound steamers. The
third outward bound mail steamer,
by which this letter should be CON
veyetl, is overdue and may also have
passed lis by. The coolest inhabi-
tant" remembers no such season as
this.
