The weather has been mild and
the sky sunny for the last five or
six weeks, with only little rain
at long intervals, forming the most
perfect climate for spring operations
on the farm and gardens. There
has been no chilly weather during
this time, nor any very warm days.
Children play out Of doors all day
long and most of the time bare

OUR NEW YORK LETTER.


From our Regular Correspondent
NEW YORK. January 5th, 1854.
The Legislature is in full operation
and the rapldlty with which the Re-
publicans have organized, and the
total absence of all strife which charac-
terized the selection of Mr.. Sheard
as Speaker of the Assembly shows
that the party is on the best of terms
with itself, and that the old sectional
terms of Stalwart and Half Breed,
however much they may still exist in
name have ceased to exercise potent
effect in the councils of the party.
Governor Cleveland's message is
universally regarded as a very COM
mOnplace affair. Even Democrats
think but little of it. Said one of the
prominent leaders of the party the
other evening; at shows very plain.
ly that during his year in Office Mr..
Cleveland has learned nothing; that
there is no possibility of mental or
political growth in him, and that
whatever chances he may once have
had, they are now no better than
those of common ward politician.
After he retires from the Governor
ship, he will be of less account even
than the late lamented President
Hayes"
General Grant is fast recovering
from the effects Of his fall, though he
is still unable to stand on his injured
leg. A man who processes to speak
by the card, and who certainly Is on
the best of terms with the ex Presi-
dent assures nae that General Grant

has given up all political aspirations
that he wants to remain in private
life. and that it will require extraor-
binary inducements to bring about
his return to the political arena. l
was also given to understand that the
General was greatly IN favor of Ar
thur, and that if needs be, he would
throw all his influence on the side OF
the existing President.
One of the movements on foot in
the Legislature, is to make the Chair
manship of the Board of Aldermen of
New York City an elective Office. by
the people, instead of as it now is. by
the Board. Ofcourse the Democratic
solons from corner gin mills will
strongly object to such an Interior
ence with their prerogatives, but the
question is an important one ami will
receive mature consideration at AL
bany.

A Convent Burned.

BELLvILLE. Jan. 1.-THE convent
known as the Institute of the Immac.
ulate Conception, conducted by the
Sisters of Notre Dame. was destroy
ed by fire Saturday night. There
were sixty female pupils, between
ten and twenty years of age, and
a number of other inmates, besides
the Sisters. An attempt was made
by the Sisters to extinguish the
flames, but this failing, efforts were
made to save the pupils. The fire
spread so rapidly that order could
not be preserved, and panic seized
both the children and Sisters, all
making a wild, confused rush to es-
cape. Miss Mary Campbell, of East
St. Louis, teacher. leaped from the
third story, and died in a few min
uteS. Another climbed to the roof
portico, and either fell or was blown
off, sustaining fatal injuries. When
the ruins were sufficiently cooled a
volunteer corps went to work to
bring out the bodies. 1t was a terri
bile sight. At times the searchers
would find two or three charred mas
SEES huddled close together. as if the
victims had sought protection from
one another from the advancing
flames. Two bodies were found in
the rear part of the building burned
into an unacceptable mass. hut the
majority were found beneath where
the dormitory was situated. They
seemed to have sought shelter in
this room too late To recognize that it
was impossible to escape from it.
The flames beneath, eating away the
supports, let down the floor into the
seething vortex of fire and smoke.

at first estimated. The total known

latter is the Sister superior. The fire

from the ruins yesterday.
The al' I advices from Belleville
are that the work of searching for
bodies ceased about O'Clock yester-
day because of fear of falling of the
walls, but probably, will he resumed
without delay. A mass Of requiem
was celebrated in the morning, and
