While Cheboygsn has been enjoying
all unusually pleasant winter, other por
tions of the country, situated much
farther South, have experienced All un
usual quantity Of severe cold weather
Even so far south rs the state of Ken.
tucky the Thermometer has indicated
some twenty degrees below zero, aud the
"oldest inhabitants" say they never ex.
perlenced such weather; and the same
has been the case in Southern Ohio and
Indiana, and yet the citizens of that sec
tion think that this is a sort of polar re-
giOn, where the mercury freezes every
day during the winter. and commiserate
the inhabitants of this section i'm having
20 reside in such Greenlandish portion
OF the country. Their ideas in regard to
our climate arc as fully erroneous as were
their impressions of this section i'm refer
ence to Its adaptability for agricultural
pursuits but upon this latter subject
thanks to the press of the village-a
knowledge of the advantages of this Sec
ton TOR purposes of agriculture has been
disseminated and the false impressions
in this regard are being eradicatcd, and
the effect is manifested i'm the numerous
settlements splinging up i'm different por-
tions oflour county, and, we think, it will
not be long until a more correct knowl-
edge of the actual condition of our cli-
mate will become generally known. and
the citizens be at least saved from the
cOmmisserations of those who now are
ignorant in regard to the temperature of
this latitude. tt
We have heard nothing but expires
siOns OF delight from those who are
spending the winter in our county for
the first time. The great advantage Of
this climate is the fact that it is not SUBJ
.ieccs to severe changes. While our ex-
treme cold weather does not exceed that
of more southern localities, the tenpera-
tufe is more equal, and the consequence
is that we do not feel the effects OF even
the extreme cold rs they do in those eli
mates where one day it may be as warm
rs spring, and perhaps within twenty
four hours the thermometer indicates
zero and below. Again. the tempera-
ture being so uniform, we enjoy the ben
eft OF IIice clean roads with good sleigh
ing during the whole winter, and hot a
succession ofinutl, slush. and then freez-
ing up leave roads with frozen knobs hub
high for vehicles to jolt over. The snow
falling i'll the early part of the season,
before the frost enters the soil, and re-
naming on the ground during the win
ter, prevents the ground from freezing to
any great depth, so that when the snow
goes OFT in the spring the soil is ready
for cultivation. er.

A REPUBLICAN VICToRY.--A special
election was held in Indiana on Tuesday 2Gth,
to fill a vacancy in the State Senate caused
by the death of the former incumbent.
The districtin which the election was held
has heretofore been Democratic, and in view
OF the fact that the political control of the
Senate dependent upon the result, unusual
efforts were made by the Democrats to elect
their candidate. The election of the Demo-
cratic candidate would have made the Senate
Democratic by one majority, while the elect
ion Of the Republican candidate makes it
Republican by one majority. The district is
composed Of the counties of Madison and Del
aware. Madison, at the Presidential elect
ion in November, gave Tiden over 900 major
ity, while on Tuesday last it gave Doxy, the
Republican candidate, 100 majority, thus
securing his election. Madison is one OF the
counties in which the war talk" has prevail
ed. and in which the Democrats have been
making threats of violence should Tilden
not be inaugurated. This election seems to
show that public sentiment is against such
revolutionary mutterings, aud that the peo-
pie of even Democratic communities have 10
sympathy with those Democratic leaders who
are counselling opposition to legal forms in
the final set, lement of the pending Presiden-
tia complications,

a war if conducted on the proper basis.
