BALTIMORE, Jan. s, 1879.

BALTIMORE, Jan. S, 1879.
Last week and part of this have
been extraordinary for their extreme
cold aud now, although it has greatly
moderated, it is still disagreeable on
account of the slush and water over
flowing the streets. Ladies 90 out
but little unless on imperative bust
ness and then they pick their way
gingerly over the crossings and hurry
home while the gentlemen remain to
bear the bcunt of the weather.
Business seems rather dull now af-
ter the hurry and furry of Christmas
although the articles bought for pres
ents this year were generally from the
list marked ''cheap but pretty. The
necessity of eConomjZjng seemed to
be realized by almost every one this
yeor, and although the stores before
the holidays were always crowded,
very little expensive purchasing was
done.
New Years day was as usual spent
By the young men in calling, and by
the ladies in receiving their visitors
most of the gentlemen went in car
riages, as the snow fell NEST of the
day and it was ma tier Of the gray

boots in the highest state Of black

a conveyance together and if Cniy one
knows a lady they intend calling up
on it is considered perfectly right and
proper to introduce his three friends
without a previous warning to the
lady, as would be necessary On any
other occasion. The visits are very
short ones, but it is a great breach of
seasonable etiquette if tie gentlemen
refuse to eat and drink something,
and if a person makes two hundred
or three hundred calls during the day

day may be imagined,

This week was set apart as the "Week

though the meetings are 90 many,
each one is well attended.
Baltimore has always been noted as
being the most Lorzi Of all the large
cities and theatres have never done a
hourishing business here, yet the
year they seem to be doing even less
than usual. Whether this is owing
to the hard times or to the interest il
religious matters Is hard to determine.

This volume is one of greatinterest,
as it contains faithful histosy Of
events transpiring at T. period wien
the struggle between the British end
French for possession of vast extent
of territory led to sanguinary Indian
war. 1t is rich in the events of mere

corning a section ofcountry which
has in every decade commanded
much of public attention, from the
period when Washington made his
first military march to the close Of the
late civil war.
1t reveals the heretofore obscure
history of Fort Cumberland, which is
of the most interesting character, as it
invests with charm every foot Of
ground about Wills Creek. The To-
cation, size, shape, character, CON
struction, and daily events of the Fort,
are portrayed in graphic manne!
with historic fidelity.

In Cumberland they prayed for a
