Although falling about three degrees below the highest mean for the mouth on record, the mean tem perature of Jauuary, 1870, exceeded by several degrees the highest recorded in this vicinity in a quarter of a century. The nearest approach to it was a mean of 39-75degrecs in 1858. Thetempera tnre of February, with a mean of 31-93 degrees, was unusually mild, although not extraordina rily so, being exceeded in 1809 by 2 75 degrees, and In 1857 by 7-10 degrees, February of the latter year being the milde6t on record. Taking the three winter months together, the mean temperature exceeded the average of 81 years by 0 30 degrees, but still fell more than half a degree below the highest on record, that of 1828 aBd 1851. The mid-winter "heated term" terminated on the 20th of February, and the mean temperature of March fell 1 20 degrees below the average for eighty-one years. April witnessed a return to unusual warmth, the mean temperature being 53-50 degrees, or 2-23 degrees above the average. 1U tUQ '8lb, the thennometer at the Pennsyl vania Hospital etooi at 8V5 degrees. May maintained the unusual warmth of the season, with a mean temperature of 05-23 degrees, or 3 58 degrees above the average. The three spring months taken together showed a moan temperature of 52-20 degrees, or 128 degrees above the average of eighty-one years. In June a sweltering summer was inaugu rated with a mean temperature of 77 35 de grees, 5-00 degrees above the average for the month, and more than a third of a degree in excess of any mean temperature for June on record. The highest point attained, 95 5 de grees, on the 28th, had frequently been exceeded before; .but the general high range of the ther mometer during the month rendered Its mean temperature higher than any on previous record. July showed a mean of 80 03 de grees, 4 94 degrees above the average, and within about a third of a dearee of the highest means on record, those of 1798 and 1808. The excessively hot spell of July, 1870, lasted 18 days one day longer than that of July, 18'JS rendering it altogether the most oppressive month on record, although the mean aud maxi mum points had been slightly exceeded in the past. The mean temperature of August was 78 77 degrees, or 5 01 degrees above the average, and within two-thirds of a degree of the highest en record, that of 1803. The three summer months together had a mean temperature of 78 93 degrees, 5 80 decrees above the average and the highest on record. On thirty-three days during the three months the thermometer at the reiiusyivania Hospital rose above W de grees, while in some sections of the city les3 sheltered it went up to and above 100 decrees. September opened moderately, but unusual warmth was boon manifested and the meau reached 70-5 degrees, 4 24 degrees above the average. October followed with a meau of WH3 degrees, 5 40 degrees above the average, and November,with a mean of 40-27 degrees, or 2 80 degrees above the average, rendered the autumn of 1870 the hottest on record. The mean temperature ot the three months was 58 97 degrees, 418 degrees above the average. and more than third of a degree above that of the autumn of 180, the warmest previously recorded. The mean temperature of December has been 35-07 degrees, 1 14 degrees above the average of the mean temperatures of December for eighty-one years. The average maximum tem perature of the month was 39 71 degrees, the average minimum 31-03 decrees; the highest point attained, 55 degrees, on the 5th aud 12ib: the lowest point, 11 degrees, on the 21th. On the 10th, the thermometer at the Pennsylvania Hospital nrst sunk below the ireex.mg point, and on six days only thereafter did it fait to touch it. Extreme cold weather has been noted in many portions of the country, esneclallv iu the West, where the mercury has frequently been reported below zero during the last two weeks. The average of the mean temperature of the year just closing is 50-83 degrees. The average of the means since 1825 is 53 57 degree3, thrf warmest previously known during that perlol being 1828, with an average of 55 75 deirrees: and the coldest, 1H'i, with an average of 49 degrees.

It was in the latter year only, however, that there was a break in the succes sion of Republican majorities on joint ballot since 1859, the result being the election of Hon.

The bonds are Issued at 20,ooo per mile against the portion onl of the line fully completed and equipped. The greater part of the road la already In opera tion, and the present earnings are iargeiy In excel of the operating expenses and interest on the bonds. The balance of the work necessary to establish through connections, thereby shortening the dis tance between St. Paul and Chicago 45 miles, and 00 miles to St. Louis, la rapidly progressing, la time for the movement of the coming grain crops, which, it la estimated, will double the present Income ot the road. The established character of this road, rnnntng as It does through the heart of the most thickly-settled and richest portion of the great State of Iowa, to gether with Its present advanced condition and large earnings, warrant us la unhesitatingly recommend ing these bonds to investors as, In every respect, an nndonbted security. A small quantity of the issue only remains nnsold, and when the enterprise la completed, which will be this fall, an immediate ad vance over subscription price may be looked for. The bonds have fifty years to run, are convertible at the option of the holder Into the stock of the Com pany at par, and the payment of the principal la pro vided for by a sinking fund. The convertibility privilege attached to these bonds cannot fall to cause them, at an early day, to command a market price considerably above psr. U. S. Five-twenties at pre sent prices return only X per cent, currency inte rest, while these bonds pay 9 per cent, and we regard them to be aa Bare and fully equal as a security to any Railroad Bond issued; and nntll they are placed upon the New York stock Exchange, the rules of which require the road to be completed, we obligate ourselves to rebuy at any time any of these bonds sold by us after this date at the same price aa realized by ns on their sale.
