THE DA1LF EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, AVEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1870. WINTER INTHE CLOUDS. The Proposed Enrnmpmrit on Mount Wash- A correspondent of the BoRton Journal trrites from the White Mountain House, dating October 3: TrofesBor 0. II. Hitchcock and Professor J. II. Huntington were here on Friday and Saturday making further arrangements for the winter sojourn of the latter gentleman and his party on Mount Washington. The necessary supplies are all at the railway depot awaiting transportation up the mountain side. The railway company have generously offered to carry them up, and will resume the running of their cars for this purpose as soon as the new rails are laid at the lower end of the road. The supplies consist of eleven tons of coal, two Btoves (one for cooking pur poses), cooking utensils, provisions of various kinds in numberless barrels and boxes, a variety of scientific inntmments, a small snow sled, show shoes, and such other articles as are indispensable for comfort and scientific investigation. Half a dozen or more trips up the mountain will be necessary to transport the supplies to their destination. "The party will consist certainly of three, and possibly four persons, and two of these, Professor Huntington and Mr. A. F. Clough, photographer, of Warren, N. II., have already fitted themselves for their severe task by a wintering residence on Moosilauko. Professor Huntington and hia daring asso ciates propose to go into their elevated win ter quarters about the tenth of November. As the lessee of the Tip Top and Summit Honses objects to the occupation of either of those buildings for fear of their destruc tion by fire, the party have made up their mind to fix their residence near the ne w rail road depot, which, though less adapted to keeping out the cold than the other struc tures, can doubtless be made comparatively comfortable. It is proposed t partition off an apartment, and make it so far as possible impervious to the effects of the weather. "The results of the investigation to be car ried on at the summit of Mount Washington, like those instituted last winter on Moosi lauke, are likely to prove of much value to science in the way of affording new facts re garding barometrical and thermometrioal variations, the velocity of winds, the philoso phy ef storms, etc. Observations will be made in regard to storms, in connection with the system now being organized under Gov ernment auspices, and arrangements are making to have all the investigations, in whatever direction made, as full and complete as possible. As the ordinary telegraph wires running up the mountain can be of little if of any use, a telegraphic cable will be nsed to communicate with the outside world. "Professor Hitchcock and his assistants have been carrying on their geological inves tigations in the mountain region and in the northern extremity of the btate with great diligence for the past few years, and have made many interesting discoveries. Only a few days since, Professor Hitchcock disco vered, in a bed of lime rock in Littleton, some fossil coral. This is the first discovery of the kind, we believe, ever made in the State, and it has an important bearing upon the geologic construction ef the granite hills. A careful survey of the State is also making under Professor Hitchcock's direction, and a carefully prepared map of the mountain re gion, based on detailed and accurate surveys, will be issued in the spring. It will be on the scale of two and one-half miles to tha inch, and uniformly with a map eventually to be published of the entire State. "A model of the White Mountains is also in preparation at Dartmouth College, under Professor Hitchcock's direction, the easterly section being, in fact, about completed. A large model will be kept at the college, and smaller copies will probably be furnished other institutions desiring them. Professor Huntington, as well as Professor Hitchcock, has spent much time in exploring the moun tain region, and also the section of the State lying north of the mountains in the direction of Canada, often spending days and weeks in tracing out streams and notches, and in geological investigations. He has, doubtless, visited many spots in and about the moun tains, where no white man not even the deer-hunter, who scours the seemingly inac cessible parts of the country in the winter season for game had ever been before him. ne is, to appearances, the very man, of all others, to undertake the bpld adventure of spending the winter upon the bleak summit of Mount Washington." CITY ITEMS.

A Cross IIi sband Mrs. Smith The fact Is, my husband Is becoming so outrageously cross and nervous that there Is no living with htm. lie pre tends ons day that he ha got the dyspepsia; the next day liver complaint; the next Is sick, with no appetite declares that there Is nothing on the table fit to eat, and so on. It Is all nonsense, and nothing but his confounded ugliness. From the very-bottom of ray heart, I believe he wants to worry me to death. Lady Friend Mrs. Smith, I think yon are wrong. No woman has a kinder or more Indulgent husband than you. I must confess that I have noticed a change In Mr, Smith ; but am Inclined to think that all he wants Is a tonic ; and If I were you, I would not be a day without Plantation Bitters In the house. Make him taXe them moderately three times a day, and In a short time I think you will see a change. My experience Is that Plantation Bitters is one of the best and most delicious tonics In the world ; and that for nervousness, loss of appetite, dyspepsia, and all kindred complaints, there Is nothing so good. An Important Medical Discovery.
