ga prophet is not without honor, etc. 1t
is truly wonderful how many people will pin
their faith on the assurances Of man, if only
he positively asserts thing, and if he can
only throw some mystery around the sources
of his information. This has always been the
habit of Henry G. Vennor of Montreal, who
in connection with his weather predictions
or anything else, for that materials as much
claim to be regarded as scientific" as any
first-class mason's lAborer, and no more. This
is the way the Montreal Star of Feb. LIST
speaks of him
''There was good deal of grumbling dur
ing last week at the severity of the weather,
but We venture TO say that there was no man
had 80 great a cause for discomfort as our re-
nowned weather prophet. According 10 his
predictions, thaw was TO set in about the
18th Of january, and, with the exception of
a brief cold spell, would continue until the
beginning of this month. Mr.. VennOr is far
away from the mark this time. Had he re-
versed the order Of his representation, he
would have hit the nail on the head Instead
of having a continual thAW with a brief cold
spell, we have had it continually cold, with a
very brief spell of moderate weather. Such
thing as a thaw was not known during the
last fortnight, and at the present moment
there is very little appearance of the Their
mometer rising. The predictions for the
first two quarters of this month are as fol-
lows
The mild spell with which January closes
will probably continue well into this month,
with the exception of q day or two, up 10 the

The almost unprecedented cold weather,
which has prevailed over the whole eastern
part of the country during the past week,
seems to have reached climax on Wednes-
day, when the cold was intensified by strong
northwest wind which amounted in some
places almost to a gale. At Bath, n. H., the
mercury dropped to so below zero. The
Boston, Concord and Montreal road cancelled
the express train from Plymouth to Lancaster,
and the only travel possible was on foot. At
Cambridge and Enosburg Falls in this State
the mercury is reported to have CONCEALED,
indicating 40' below zero, and at North Shell
don q spirit thermometer recorded 45o below
Richford reports So below, st. Adams %,
and Springfield 22o below. At Hartford,
Conn, the winter is the coolest since 1856.
Some of the schools were dismissed Wednes-
day on account of the cold and the superior
court adjourned for the same reason. In
New York the harbor ice is the heaviest
known for years, and ferry travel is greatly
impeded. At Providence, and Newport, Il.
l., the ice has made so fast in the hArbors as
to put a stop to navigation. The Newport
and Providence steamers have discontinued
their trips for the present. At Pittsburg,
Pa, on Wednesday, the mercury registered
PC below zero, Port Jervis, N. Y, 14o below,
Whitehall and Saratoga, N. Y, $50 below,
Burlington, Ia, 18o below, Marquette, Mich,
l40 below. Severe weather is reported from
portions of the South. A regular blizzard
prevailed at Ottawa, Ont, Wednesday, the
thermometer standing 3Oo below zero.

FROM WASHINGTON.
A Pleasant Letter frons n Thorough
Green Mountain Girl.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1st 1881.
have forgotten when my subscription for
the PHGNr1 began, and for fear that il might
end win say that wish TO be a subscriber
for the same as long as / live. or course ex-
pect the PHGNIx to live eternally, and when
my subscription runs out please to send bill
for the next year.
Sometimes the PHOENIX reaches me Satur-
day, and then again not till Monday, but
whenever it does come il is like seeing q
friend Of my childhood. l read every line,
miliar names of people used to know. / as
sure you it is a delight to read-and read
them over every week-the advertisements Of
20. J. Pratt, pratt, Wright & Co., and l
believe I'll send them an order G. o. D., just
TO show how we wanderers from our child
hoods home appreciate reading the adver-
tisements of establishments we used TO deal
with" What woman is there that doesn't
have fond recolections of the handsome
young ''storekeeper'-st we called
them then, now they are salesmen-who used
to chat with her as she fingered over the
choice of pair Of gloves, or persuaded her
that fascinating bright ribbon would be
very becoming to her l used to know just
such ''storekeeper" in o. j. Pratts store,
and II he is there still, I'll send an order for
another yard of that bright ribbon
But, bless me why don't some of your
hotels advertise / am sure you have hotels,
and good ones, unless time has swept them
all away, for Brattleboro used to boast Of
having some Of the very best hotels in all
New England. A party of us are going to
Brattleboro next summer, aud where shall we
stopG At the botel that has standing card
in TIRE PHGNIx o.
As am a thorough Green Mountain girl,
and proud Of my bhthright, ] feel a Just
pride in vermont's representatives in Con-
gress. Senators Edmunds and Morrell are
statesmen that you may well be proud Of.
Senator Edmunds is one OF the ablest states
men in the Senate and while you are ambi-
tious for him to occupy the highest position
our government has TO bestow, keep him in
tine United States Senate, for there be is need
ed, aud it's there he can serve his country
best. Powers so grand AZ his would be Grip
pied on the United States bench, or shut up
in the White House. Every now and then
We are startled by the rumor that Senator
Edmunds is to be United States Supreme
Judge. The Senate cannot afford to lose a
legislator like Edmunds, and Vermont cannot
afford TO let him go. For the love of your
country, keep the old Green Mountain watch
dog" to guard the United States Senate
should like TO tell you of many interesting
scenes and anecdotes have Witnessed and
heard regarding Senator Edmunds, but as
Rm fellow craftsman as wen as a fellow
townsman, fully appreciate the woes Of an
editor aud will not take moro Of your valuable

Our Aiken, =. g., Letter.

We have for fortnight had reason 10 be-
lieve that the Aiken, S. O., letter which we
published on Jan. 14th, describing, among
other things, some Of the late election scenes
in that place, produced no little commotion
in the latitude TO which It especially applied.
This impression finds abundant confirmation
in a copy Of the Aiken journal and Review
Of Jan. 26, now at hand, in which our letter,
and appended comments are copied in full,
with the following predatory remarks:
'Since our last issue we have received q
copy of the Vermont PhGnip and Recorder
containing letter from Aiken, dated Decem-
Der rs, 1880. The paper is published in
Brattleboro', and upon the margin the expir-
alton term displays the name of f. w.
Ohilds Upon application at our post Office
we were told by the Post Mistress that no
such name as +. w. Childs was recorded
there, hence il is clear that some one has COW
cred his or her identity under penny post
age stamp. We know of but one gentleman
from Brattleboro' now in Aiken, and he is in
every respect gentleman, high toned, and q
man of unbending integrity. We were un-
der the same roof with him and his charm
ing family for six months last season, and
feel satisfied that he would scorn to send
such a letter among his kindred and friends
of New England. Besides, he has spent three
seasons in our midst time enough to discov-
er the Tins and outs" of agitators, office
seekers and tuft hunters. He could not pos
sibly so flippantly dispose of the fourteen
achtte men, for we have frequently seen our
friend greet the major portion of them in the
most cordial manner. II the hunters party
who favors us through the post-offce desires
us TO comment upon the letter, he has reok-

The remarks about the sender of the copy

ent to say that it is useless to try to throw
sand in Northern eyes by any such high
sounding ORGANIZATIONS or attempted per.
sonal thrusts. The letter of our correspond
