The Cold.

The nearly eight weeks Of very cold
weather has become a subject of much
remark, and very rare even in this lati-
tude, more especially during the past ten
days. From various portions Of New
England and other parts of the country
come accounts of much suffering in many
ways. From those harbors from which
fishermen depart and arrive very serious
apprehension is felt. They cannot get
ashore with their boats on account of the
ice foes, and to attempt to travel on foot
five or ten miles over the great uneven
masses of ice and treacherous air holes,
is nearly equally dangerous.
OFF Provincetown the fishermen were
in a very dangerous condition on Mon
day, their provisions were giving out
and it was thought if no relief reached
them by Tuesday they must perish. A
few had succeeded in reaching the shore
on foot and some of them returned with
what few provisions they could carry tc
the comrades they had left behind. At.
tempts by steamers have been made from
Boston to send them aid, but they could
accomplish nothing on account of the ice
foes.
Gloucester harbor is completely frozer
over, a thing never known before in til,
memory of the Oldest inhabitant. Fifty
fishing boats are fast in the ice and steam
tugs have been sent out to try and eflec
their release.
The ice blockade on Long Islanc
Sound, is unprecedented The ice il

Post Office Romance.

Mr.. John III. Hallett, one of the oldest
servants in the New York post office, re-
members that in 1885 a young woman
used TO call every week for a letter adj
dressed miss Mary II. Russell, Post
Office" The regularity of her visits,
and her apparent unwillingness to give
any account of herself, elected much
curiosity among the clerks, but their in
quisitiveness was never gratified. Years
passed away and gray hairs appeared on
the woman's head, but she made her
calls as regularly as ever and the ex-
pected letter was always waiting for her,
Nearly ten years have elapsed since her
last visit, but the letters still come adj
dressed to her name, although the inter
walls between them are longer than in the
old time. These letters have of course
been opened, but they contain no clue to
the identity of either the writer or the
recipient. Each contains So bill, with
few lines of writing to say when the
next remittance would be made. No
address, no date, no signature. The
handwriting is apparently Of man fee
BILE with age, and another letter with the
usual superscription is at present writing
lying unopened at the post Office. Mary
H. Russell, an elderly woman ten years
ago, is probably dead. The letters with
their contents are sent to Washington,
but no one can guess who the anonymous
writer is who so faithfully maintained
his correspondence. Post offices are es
sentially practical places, but little bits
of romance may sometimes be found ev

port on the subject by the Senate judici-

the result is that the act of June %,

any criticism, and in respect of the crime
of libel it confers no power either to

Mr. Boyden's Reply TO Mr. MeBreen

Mr.. EDITOR Some two months ago,
getting somewhat tired of hearing the
most ridiculous falsehoods circulated
about the Changers repeated to me at
my lectures, resolved to publish some
of them in the journals and wrote the
Vermont Farmer long letter, recapitu-
lating some Of the absurd falsehoods /
had heard in Windham county some ex-
tracts from that letter was made by the
State papers and one James McBreen
sent note to the TINES, saying he
had neuer told Them consequently his
conclusion was that such stories never
were told; | did not care to occupy
space in the public journals to contra
dict any personal attack that some con-
ceited ignoramus had circulated. No
man of honor will invent and circulate
such falsehoods as some " runners have
circulated during the last few months
regarding the Grange trade. IT'S the
last resort of the vanquished always, to
attack mans honor and honesty when
he wishes to break down any cause the
man may be advocating and have new
er thought it worthy of my attention to
notice that class of villainous stories
Mr.. McBreen has referred to, as any
man of sense well understands that it
would be as impossible for me to give
the grange trade " to any store what.

control the revolutions of the earth
around the sun, as have nothing
whatever to do with the financial work.

influence it in any manner whatever.
Mr.. McBreen has told only half of that
story as told me long ago in Windham

referred to, as reported to me, said that
/ had "cleared fifty thousand dollar:
