The town of Galeshurs, Illinois, is suf
fclino from water famine, in consequence
of continued cold and drought. which have
diicd and frozen all tho wells, ponds and
cistcrns. Individuals and corporations aye
melting ice, obtained from the Mississippi
river, to supply their wants. The cold has
averaged about ten degrees below zero 1T
Galesburg forscveral nights. Great damage
was done in Virginia on Sunday by the rain
storm. The rain froze rs it fell q; and trees
and telcgraphs were broken in every direc-
ton. Two inches of snow fell ut Shvcve-
port, Louisiana. on Sunday, but melted
yesterday. A dispatch from Sandy Hook,
New York, reports about twenty vessels
caught in al ice blockade extending from
Horseshoe harbor mile out to sea. The
lighthouse Oh the east side was tlntcn:sblc
during the recent storms. and will he re-
moved to Il sheltered position on the West
side. The automatic whistlins buoy of
Fire Island has disappeared. 1t will he
replaced rs soon rs possible.

getting any profit from this he was vio-
lating the law IF the banks were having
the use of it for nothing, what a fine
thing they had of it, while the schools
and charitable institutions suffered. 1t
IS calculated that the school districts
alone lost S5o,oG0 last year by this state
of affairs. Surely such arrangement
should never exist undera well regulated
financial system, and the first thing the
Legislature ought to do is to readjust
this. SO that hereafter our public insti-
tutions do 10, ianguish for funds or be
driven to discounts on their state war-
rants while banks and other depositO-
