FALLS CHURCH, VA. Jan. Is, 1873,
Eoatf Star:-Ne had very remarkable speci-
men OF weather last week. On Wednesday noon
the sun shone as brightly and almost as balmiIy
as I'D The spring time, and the pure white snow
melted. and the water f1owed in the street in
streanlets. But far otherwise was the weather
at sund0wn. nor. weSter blew with fearful
violence and bearing suffering on its wings

probably the thermometer marked the lowest
temperature we shall have this hibernal season.

bushels OF wheat all ready loaded to be taken To

StenSer the questions to be aSkedsaId the an
sWe1S TO be given by the witnesses. To some
thirteen SGbp9naS furnished by the republican
