Cold WEATHER on THE PLAINs-SCFFERING
OF TEAMsTERs.-The Olaihe Neirs Letter says
that Charles Stur,levant met with a narrow es-

The night before the sparty left Fort Dodge, one
of Charities mules B,st with an accident while in

the morning with HE rest of the party, who
were Overtaken by the storm about five miles
from Fort Dodge. The party stopped and kill
died fire, but soon consumed their scanty sup
ply of fuel; in the meantime taking off their Wa
gOn covers, and with them and their blankets
they tried to wrap themselves up To keep from
freezing, but soon found that would not answer.
They then burnt their wagons one after another
nutil all were consumed; then burnt the corn
with which their wagons were loaded. While
the corn was burning, some of the men, in their
desperation, scattered the burning grain and lay
down up0n il, getting their clothes and persons
severely burnt. Finally, two members of the
party volunteered 10 20 down to the Fort for as
sisiance, and, selecting q couple of the best hor-

frozen. After hearing their report, parties star
ted out to find aud relieve the balance nf the par
ty, and well knowing their dangerous aud suife
ring condition, Went prepared for the onerons
task, taking with them wagons, hay, blankets,
provisions, etc. They succeeded in getting the
party back to the Fort, bnt they were badly
frozen that many of them were blind, and all had
their limbs more or less frozen, rendering them
cripples for life.

An Old Acauainfance. A

tious. We remember the time when this Alma
nae or its limitations, and one called Solomon
Tbrifty's Almanac, were almost exclusively used
throughout large scope of country, extending
faom the seabosrd to the far West. In those
days. there were no Patent Medicine Almanacs,
with threads already in them 10 bang them up
by, for gratuitous distributiOn: but Almanacs
were articles of trade, the same as, sugar and
coffee. They cost about 12i cents per copy
called in the East a shilling, in the Ohio Valley
"levy," aud in the far West "bit."
This Almanac was started before the CON-
mencemeut of the present century, and it is just
the same now, with the exception OF It's annual
calculations, as it was then. It has the same
pyramid-shaped Multiplication Table on the last
page; "the same vignettcs illustrating the usual
occupation IF farmers for the differnt mouths
They are exactly as they were at the beginning
of this century, and consequently very few OF

r. Senator Carpenter has been defeated in
Wisconsin, and a man named Cameron elected to
the Senate He is Republican, but was elected
by a combination between Democrats and Anti
Carpenter Republicans. Thus under the dema-
sugue cry of Reform an publication, the Repnb-
licaus of ability and experience are being with
drawn from Congress- at this critical juncture,
and new men Sent in their stead, who will be
about as effective in copirg with the old stagers
of the Democracy, regiment of raw militia
opposed to a company Of drilled veterans. The
secret of the power of New England in Congress,
aud of the South in former days. was, that when
they got able men into Congress, they kept them
there for years. The young West has not yet
had its eye-teeth cut in this matter, and proba-
bly, will not have, until the fool killer has done
his duty.
