The "Cold wave."

Even the balmy latitude of Southern
New Jersey caught touch OF arctic
weather last week when the mercury
dropped below zero and made us think,
for a day or two, of New England. The
sscold wave" covered q good share of
the country, and in many places it ran
from fifteen to forty degrees below zero:
Such extreme cold is very rare in this
part of the state, and Wien it does come,
occasionly, it causes much greater suff-
ering and Inconvenience than it does
in places where people expect steady cold
and prepare for it.

WASHINGTON, Feb ll.-lhc next
move Of the western members who de.
sire the government to take possession
of the aided Pacific railroads for the
default in payment of their obligations
will be to try to prevent them from dis.
posing OF their grant lands until their
financial relations with the govern.
ment have been settled.
Representative Caminette, of Cali.
fornia, has bill which will be passed
upon by the public lands committee at
the next meeting to forfeit all the
land unpateuted when the companies
default in payment Of their bonds, to
withhold action on all applications for
patents, and to suspend proceedings on
applications for patents in the case Of
companies that are bankrupt or in the
hands OF receivers.
The Pacific railroad acts provided
for forfeiture Of these lands to the gov.
errment In case the aided companies
made default Mr. Caminette esti-
mates that 2000O,OOO acres OF grant
lands TO the Pacific railroads remain
unpatented, and argues that the gov
eminent will be allowing valuable
assets to slip away from 1t by permit
ting the title to any of this land to
pass before the question of foreclosure
has been settled.
