AS to the. winter climate of Middle
Florida the same conditions which assure
equability OF temperature during the sum-
mer are OF force during the winter.
Hence the climate peculiarly favors the
comfort or cure Of those afflicted with the
diseases you mention, for sudden and ex-
treme changes of temperature are so rare
that they occur only at long intervals Of
years. We are exempt alike from the

Our "winters begin and end by the
calendar not by the weather; for the
former often shows that winter has come
before it is felt, and the latter that it has
ended before it's date of departure has ar
rived. Ice forms occasionally, but rarely
lasts through the day.
AS a place Of winter resort, each year
finds Tallahassee sought by more persons
than the preceding. The hotel accommo-
dations have been largely increased, and
the rates Of board range from twenty FIVE

We have the following letter from

MITCHELL, ONT Nov IA, 1888
To Editors F1oridian, Tallahassee:
DEAR SIRs: | read with interest your remarks
in reply TO the Philadelphian asking information
regarding your city and climate. had been
watching yonr paper for some time for informa-
ton of that nature, and now that you have com
menced 10 furnish it | probably, among many
other Canadian readers, would like TO know
something OF your winters. We care not 50
much for your summers, for there is no land un-
der the canopy of heaven that is blessed with
more beautiful summer than Western Canada,
but our winters are 100 severe and often during
their long months Of frost and snow we love TO
dwell in imagination Down in the sunny
south Is your climate during the winter
months considered healthy as yeu claim your
summers To be, Is il suitable 10 ESTIMATES and
those suffering from bronchial affections, When
does your winter sci in, and when does it end,
and what is It's characters Further, what does
il cost per week for hotel board in your CITY, and
do the Northern people IN any considerable num-
bers make II winter resort either from matter
OF pleasure or physical necessity.
| am pleased to sec, judging entirely from the
tone of your paper, that the social atmosphere Of
your community is comparatively pure, and ap-
parently free from that vulgar taste which not
only toeraes but encourages tina, slangy and
uDdigni6ed tone that obtains 10 such n marked
degree throughout the press Of the Northern
States
With US the winter has fairly set in, and the
snow now about four inches deep, not quite
enough TO make the sleighng good, but rs it is
falling more or less every day we expect before
another week 10 lay aside wheeled vehicles alto
gelher. Our winter continues with sleighing
most Of The time till about the first Of April
when the snow goes of very rapidly and the
spring opens If it would be of interest to your
readers generally would have no objection to
sending you few notes on Canadian life and
Canadian matters generally do not offer this
from any desire TO make myself notorious, but
because am pleased with the tone and ability
tina, characterizes your paper, and an attachment
thai formed for the Southern people that met
with during the fearful struggle Of 1851 and 1884.
besides an ever-lncreasing inclination to 60 end

Governor Bloxham's opposition to carpet bag
gers and carpetbag system is too we'll known to
need discussion He did more 10 overthrow il,
and can and will do and has done more to per-
petuate that overthrow, than all the Hiltons ever
can do. By the way, will Mr.. Hilton tell the
people oil this State-1st Whether or not he
voted for the adoption of the Constitution of
1S6S-the carpet-bag Constitution; ID. Whether
or not he voted against the adoption of that Con
stitutiony Some say he voted for its adoption ;
on the other hand, others say he did not vote at
all. Governor Bloxham voted against its adop-
ton, and he has given as much time and as much
Of his worldly substance and shown as much abil-
ity in fighting for the overthrow of carpet bag
rule as any man in Florida.
When Governor Bexham appointed General
Perry to conduct the railroad litigation, did he
not appoint better Damecrat than r. B. Hill
toni Is not General Perry one who has given
no encouragement 10 Independcntism and other
vagaries which Mr.. Hilton has tried to foster
The Governor could have made no better selec-
ten. His reasons for not appointing Mr.. Hilton
were doubtless the very best. The result has
proven the wisdom Of his selection. The public
have no ground for complaint II the Governor
10 sstisfied in not having appointed Mr. Hilton,
and surely he Is, the public will not be disturbed
the least by Mr.. Hiiton's dissatisfAction.

An affair occurred al Monterey,
Mexico, ON Saturday night last, winch
is characteristic OF the Mexican Mr.
jeff Miller, citizen of Laredo, while
visiting Monterey, drank too freely
of Mexican whisky, and while intoxj-
Gated misiook a private house for a
house Of ilI-fane, and entering, made
use of insulting language to the lady
who occupied it. A policeman was
promptly summoned, who entered the
house with 4 lamp in one hand and
his pistol in the other. Miller fired
upon him, the policeman returning
the fire as he fell 10 the floor corpse,
hitting Miller in the leg. BY this time
Il squad of policemen came on the
scene. Miller backed up against the
wall ard stood Them off, however, an
til an American rushed up behind him
and pinioned his arms. Then, when
a prisoner and powerIess to protect
himself, the treacherous and british
nature Of the Mexican asserted itself,
and they rushed upon him, Literally
hacking him to pieces. AliIlcr's leg
has been arnputated, and the dispatches
state there il a bare chance for his
recovery. When sober, Jeff Miller
was a perfect gentleman, bnt II des-
perate man when drinking.
,L4rER.--Since writing the above
Miller's death has occurred. And still
true to their reHengeful instincts, the
Mexican authorities refuse TO permit
the remains to be sent home for inter
ment.

THE ,lrouth which has prevailed in
this immediate section for the past
few weeks, emitting the cotton crop
short fully onc-third, has done even
greater damage in many parishes of
the state. 1t is safe to estimate the
result, taking the state as a whole, at
q falling off Of nearly Or quite one-
half. In some localities the cane crop
has sustained material damage, but
being limited to a small scope Of saan-
try, il will uoteffeet the yield Of sugar

q magnificent corn orpp has been
made, from one esd Of the slate to
the other, which il in itself cause for
rejoicing. Upon the whole, Louisiana
planters and farmers have bat little
grounds for complaint.
