Ed. PRESS As last was the sever
eat, SO this is the mildest winter, to
date, we have experienced since com
ing to Iowa. Commonly the roads
here do not thaw SO as to make them
muddy between Fall and Spring, but
they have not yet been frozen to q suf-
fcient depth to prevent vehicles from
cutting through, and we have had
plenty of mud. Our Winters usually
are dryer, colder, aud Of more uniform
| temperature than yours. in Ohio. We
have mad one death from Consumption
this Winter, in an adjoining county,
which is an unusual occurrence here.
Pulmonary and Bronchial affections
are rare among us, but we suffer as
much or more than you from enteric
fevers and intestinal diseases; but,
withal. it is poor place here for
Doctor to make q living in, unless he
combines some other employment
with his practice, asmest Of them do.
Henry Clay Dean drew together the
largest audience ever convened In our
county last week. His lecture, ''The
PHILOSOPHY of the American iRevolu-
tion," was begun the moment he en-
tered the honse, and without any for
msl introduction, with the following
sentence, "No country ever enjoyed
true freedom without religion He
then gave q compendious review Of the
worlds history, ,sacred and profane. to
shew that liberty and freedom Of
thought was only attainabie through
the influence Of Christianity. 1t SEEM
ed impossible that one mind should
garner and retain such an array Of his
torical facts as he presented. Concise,
eloquent and profound, his reputation
for Indifference to his personal ap-
pearance ought not to reach . notorie-
ty beyond his reputation as an orator
and scholar. But sssome men live q
loug time after they are laughed at"
and Mr.. Dean has our best wishes.
