THE BIG SNOW IN 1856.

TO the Editor: Your informants are

the snow of January, 1857. The weather
was excessively cold Thermometers

said it was the coolest weather known
at Chapel Hill since 1903. 1t was not
a hail snow either. And it did not
last six or eight weeks. 1t was all

it was quite warm in that month. The
long continued cold and snow was in

From the Pittsburg Times
AS a sample of the feeling which existed

Jane Gray Swisshelm, will serve: Our

The idea that the Mexican war was waged
only for glory was adhered to two years
later by the "aunties when the new terri
tory was acquired from Mexico. Glory and
no profit. it was maintained, would be the
only outcome of the investment. The por-
ton of that territory which the returning

Nevada and Utah, all of which. with a por-
ton of Wyoming, which they will also
cross. was embraced in the Mexican cession

the expansion of 1919, when Texas was an
nexed, it's territory embracing the present
state of that name, nearly two-thirds of
New Mexico a portion of Colorado and
portions of wyoming and Oklahoma. Later
in 1853, as direct result of the other two
expansions, the Gadsden purchase added
the southern portion of Arizona and New
Mexico to the United States at a cost Of
$4,000, CO., which it was again claimed by
the "auntes'' was a waste of good money.
