Letter from Samuel Townsend.
For the Guyefte


MIR. EDIToR-I have been down to
Dover this week and talked with most
OF the members of the Legislature in
regard to county division. / proposed
that both Houses pass joint resolu
ton requesting the voters of New
Castle county to hold an election this
year on some day either in October or
November, and take a test vote for
and against making two counties out
OF New Castle county; Brandywine
and Christiana Hundreds and the CITY
OF Wilmington making one county,
and the balance of the Hundreds ma
King another county. Then Legis-
lature can act understandingly; as il
Is now, four Representatives voted one
way and three another, and persons
throughout the county claim that the
people are in favor of division, and
others claim that there is a majority
opposed to it. By holding an election
this year, when there is no politics in
the way, free expression of feelings
on the subject can be reached, and
thus restore harmony with our men,
bers OF the Legislature. No fair man
can or will, | think, oppose this plan.
l have been told by all that I have
talked with that they would vote for
this measure. .-.

The Cold Weather In Montana.

ACCORDING to the Neao Northsoest there
has been some remarkable cold weather
in Silver Bow, Mont. A correspondent of
that paper furnishes the following inter
esting item of news:
Your favor of the 10th is at hand, and
inquiries answered herewith. On the
evening of Jan. 8, several persons being
in my store, and the spirit thermometer
registering "35 deg. below" the remark
was made that quicksilver would CONCEAL
at deg lower. l requested my clerk
Mr. Stolte, to thoroughly cleanse bar
tumbler and partially fill it with quick
silver We then exposed the glass of
mercury and the spirit thermometer on
the roof of the fire-proof on the north
side of the store, giving them as nearly
equal exposure possible. An hour af-
ter the thermometer marked 80 degrees
below, but the quicksilver still renamed
unchanged. AT 30 p m. the thermom-
eter stood 40 degrees below; still the
quicksilver was ltUe, but terribly cold.
At 8 40 p. m. the spirit indicated Al de-
grees below; the quicksilver was harden
ing on the outside A few minutes later
the thermometer stood at AZ degrees be-
low. L picked up the tumbler of quick
silver, and to my astonishment found it
completely solidified-as hard as "a rock.
l carried it into the store, and several
persons examined it, it remaining in that
condition some time before It showed
life.
