Fourth Anniversary Of the Webster
Literary Society.

This interesting event was ably celebrated,
on Friday evening, the 10th instant, in Odd
Fellows Hall, in the presence Of the Faculty
of the College andA large assembly of citl.
zens, all Of whom who occupied favorable
seats, were highly entertained, and were
| deeply impressed with the brilliant talents
developed by our rapidly growing Young in.
stitution Of learning.
| The exercises on the Stage were conducted
with admirable propriety aud an ability tia,
Swould have been crediiable TO much more
experienced elocationisis, and we're enlvened
by the Amphions' sweetest music.
| The Grafton, "Unsatisiied,n made the i'm.
preston on all who had tho pleasure 10 hear
it, that the young speaker possesses the high.
est order of talent and an energy that must
carry him triumphantly over the breakers OF
iife, unless he shall become too bold TO be
cautious. His effort on this occasion deeply
interested all, higaly gratifed many, startled
not a lev, and perhaps 'tnRsatisjied'' some OF
his warmest personal friends who may be in.
clined to contest several of his conclusions
uttered with SO much emphasis. In.ls.much
as this able Grafton has been more than com.
monty criticised, the writer of this notice be.
lieyes that justice TO the speaker requires It's
publication, as, il is said, Is determined on.
Its publication, enabling the reader to crit.
cisejustly, will, doubtless, show the exception.
able conclusion to be the only proper ones to
be drawn from the line Of argument on that
subject.
In getting up public exhibitions ofihis kind,
the utmost caution should be observed, TO mr..
range matters SO that every part of the au.
dience shall be treated with due courtesy.
The neglect Of this caution, in this instance,
was IN some degree unfortunate. The young
gentlemen, doubtless intended to please and
crafty every body, but the omission, through
the inexperience Of the gentlemanly ushers,
to provide comfortable places for guests hold
ing complimentary tickets, prevented some Of
the warmest friends of the Society from en-.
joying the pleasures Of the evening, which
perhaps have never been surpassed in Odd
Fellows Hall. N.Y..

An Arctic Wave.

The unseasonably cold weather Of the past
week has prevailed over the greater portion
Of the United States east of the Rocky Noun
tains. In Michigan, Illinois and Iowa, the
thermometer has marked from II TO 20
degrees below the freezing point, with high
wind blowing. At Nashville, Tenn. ice
formed quarter Of an inch in thickness. aud
even at Corinih, in Mississippi, ice an eighth
OF an inch in thickness was seen. There was
a heavy snow fall throughout Tennessee and
Kentucky. On Saturday nigh, a severe frost
visited Georgia and the Carolinas, and snow
fell at Fortress Monroe to the depth Of three
inches. Snow also fell to the depth Of several
inches in Pennsylvania and New England.
Snow fell at Hazleton, Pa. on Friday night.
TO the depth OF eight inches. In the northern
and western portions Of the country great
damage has been done to vegetables and
fruits, and il is feared that the cotton, tobacco
and wheat in the South have suffered equally.
There were heavy snow squalls at Rich.
mond, Va. on Sunday, and Monday morning.
the thermometer there marked eight degrees
below the freezing point. Early vegetables,
fruits and clover throughout the State mere
killed, and the loss TO the farmers in the
western counties Of Virginia is estimated ut
Sl,0OO,OOO. At Wilmington, N. G. ice half
an inch thick formed on Sunday night. II L
feared in Canada that the fall wheat has been
killed IN some sections by the frost 10 the
province Of Ontario, last saturday, the ther.
momeieT fell to nine degrees below zero.
Accounts from the neighborhood of the
mouths Of the James and Elizabeth rivers,
Virginia, give sad accounts Of the wholesale
destruction by the late cold spell OF the crops
OF early vegetables and fruits. In many parts
OF THIS section these are almost the sole reli.
anee OF the farmers. They have now TO buy
new seed and go to work as best they can and
get IN new crops, in order to realize ANYTHING
IN the summer markets.
The steamer Nova Scotia, which arrived n,
Halifax, on Saturday, from Liverpool, REPORTS
that IN latitude 1850 she met a field OF hacked
Arctic ice and passed one hundred miles 10
the south to clear it. Several large vessels
were in the ice.
Dispatches from Ohio, Indiana, Western
Pennsylvania and Michigan give generally
woful accounts of the disastrous effects Of he
ate cold spell upon the fruit and wheat crops.
At many points complete failure is reported.
As To wheat, though, il is added tina, abundant
rams may improve it materially.
Reports were received at Detroit wedues.

The Losses by the Strikes.

The strikes in the coal regions of Pennsyl.
vania are said 20 be rendering coal so scarce
that the furnaces and iron works which are
fortunate enough 10 have orders are unable
TO run. This cause, together with the demands
Of the furnace hands for higher wages, are
said 10 have led 10 the shutting down Of o large
number OF manufacturing establishments.
Where orders are urgent, some are using coke
in the place Of coal.
The New York Daily bulletin says Il Is
stated on good authority that not less than
500, 000, 600 of investments IN the Schuylkill
coal regions alone are now lying idle, with no
fewer than fifty thousand people ont of EN-.
ployment, many Of whom are suffering for
neeessaries Of life. The most Of the idle in
dustries Of Pennsylvania are regarded as the
direct consequence Of THERON workers strikes
or indirectly Of those Of the coal miners. The
Bulletin makes rough calculations that there
are to-day nearly one hundred thousand per.
sons and nearly $500, 000, 900 Of capital lying
idle in that single State-simply because Of
the strikes Il Is impossible 10 calculate this
loss in all its rami6eations, but ii daily equals
magnificent fortune worse than thrown
away. To gain some conception Of the agere-
gate amount, We have only 10 multiply Ire
one hundred thousand persons By what would
DO their average wages--ssy 81 per day--and
we have loss on the iaborers' part Of 5000.
600 per day. On the part Of capitalists We
have 70 compute the interest on the money
invested, not calculating for any deterioration
Of works and material By disase. Here We
have, at six per cent. interest for the working
days OF theysar, over 81, 900 per day. These
figures clearly show upon whom the great
bulk Of the loss falls. The weaker and least
able party the working men--are thus losing

however, merely as an opinion, for he says
