An article in our local columns, yester-
day, tended to show that remarkable sea-
sons were not very uncommon, but it is
doubtful, after all, if the present season
can be regarded as very remarkable. Ia
bles Of the temperature of New York city,
show that the mean temperature for De-
cember, 1875, was 33.S SO degrees, and for
the same month in 1874, 49, 81 degrees,
both months being colder than the months
of December, 1878, 1870, OF 1860. The
month of January, so far, has averaged
nearly fifteen degrees warmer than January,
1875, but has been only .03 of degree
warmer than January, 1869, and only
about three degrees warmer than the same
month in 1873. We have, before us, let
ter dated Rutland, December Goth, 1894,
which says: ''The mean heat of this
=" month has been forty-three degrees, Fab
renheit. Last week the farmers were
ploughing their fields, the bees were fly
ing about the gardens, and the roads as
mirey as they generally are in the month
" Of April The mean heat of that De
cember was the same as the mean heat OF
the years 1889, 1890 and 1i9l-and may be
called, as the letter termed It, an "uncom-
mon season."

Death Of a Vermont Inventor

Mr.. Reuben Daniels, whose death oc-
Cured in Woodstock on Saturday, the 22d
inst, deserves more than passing notice.
He was seventy-two years old at the time
of his death. He was born at New Ips-
witch, n. H., and came to Woodstock IN
1928, or near that time, and soon after
purchased what at that time was known as
"Bennetrs Mills then consisting of q
grist and saw mill about one mile west of
the village on Quechee river. There were
associated with him in the purchase of this
property, his brother, Thomas L. Daniels,
Royal Blake, Abraham Stearns and David
Pierce; Mr.. Abraham Stearns now being
the sole survivor. The business was CON
Quoted in the name of r. Daniels 81 Co.
Soon after the purchase the company
erected large wooden building, called a
machine shop, wherein WAS manufactured
a great variety of machinery, and most of
it the invention of Mr.. Reuben Daniels,
and for which lie obtained letters pat
ent from the United States govern
ment. This building was burned in
1864 and soon after the present large
building was erected under his supervision.
The first patented machine invented by
him was spinning jack called the "Roll
Jack" and the first one made was put up
in wooden mill in Springfield in Yer
mont He next invented ''shearing ma
chine" which come to be extensively used
in the WOODEN mills of this country. He
next invented a rag machine" so called,
being machine for making shoddy, which
is now extensively used. He invented also
straw cutter" much in use, and used
also extensively in paper mills for cutting
up rag, also brush CUTTER" "cider
milf and numerous other machines for
which he obtained patents. Mr. Daniels
had great genius for invention, and they
were mostly all of them of practical ma.
ture. lie was man of great industry, of
great will, great foe to shams of all kinds.
Mr.. Daniels was twice married his wife
survives him. He leaves but one child, a
married daughter, who lives In Boston.

SENATOR DoRsEY's MISFORTUNE.
Lights: and Shades OF Checkered Car

Lights: and Shades OF Checkered Career.
stephen w. Dorsey, United States
senator from Arkansas, who our readers
will remember is a native of Benson in this
county, having by his own petition, been
adjudged a bankrupt, notices have been
forwarded to his creditors that meeting
will be held in Helena, Ark, March l.,
1876, TO prove debts against his estate, and
to choose an assignee. Among his credi-
tors, as given in the New York Tribune,
are ex-Rerresentative Logan A. Roots,

G. g. Willard. hotel-keeper, Washington,
$3.50, and Mr.. Sessions of jamestown,
N. Y, $500. The total liabilities are
$1S3,5S0.
Among the creditors named above is j.
E. Gregg of Urbana, Ohio, who has q
claim OF $4,000. This man, says the 7ri-
6une, came to Washington in the summer
of 1878, with letter Of introduction from
Senator Dorsey, then and now member
of the senate committee on district affairs
Although he was entirely unacquainted
with the kind of work that the board Of
public works was then prosecuting, Mr.
Shepherd at once assigned him contracts
for laying. wood pavements and construct
ing sewers, the cost of which was eslimat
ed to exceed 100000. lie at once farmet
them out. About the same time the eena.
tor bought a house on Connecticut avenue
from Mr.. Shepherd for $4,000, and pur.
chased furniture from northern firm &c
place in it for $4,000 more. The grand
housewsrming with which the senator cee
brated his removal to the house will be re
membered by all the members of the ring
and their friends who were present as zone
of the most brilliant social events of the
season."
Soon after, the cash resources of the dis
trict government were exhausted and it,
securities and certificates in which con
tractors were paid were deprecated like
the French assignats, so that the allowing
board prices proved to be cheat, and the
long anticipated profits dwindled into moth
ing After the downfall of the Shepherd
administration. Senator Dorsey wa,
compelled to return the mansion TO Mr.
Shepherd. The drafts on London given il
payment Tor the furniture came back pro
tested, but Mr.. Shepherd kindly took the
| furniture off the senator's hands, and gave
his note in exchange for the notes out
standing. Thus Mr.. Shepherd lost moth
ing, but Mr.. Gregg is still on the list OF
creditors. OF course, the fact that Mr.
Gregg got contracts through Senator Dor
sey's influence, and that he now appears a
one of Dorsey's creditors, proves nothing
improper, but it is, to say the least, sug
gestive.
