Wieland, of Harris township, who hasspent several months in Florida, has written a lengthy letter to a friend at Linden Hall, descriptive of that state, from which we are permit- ted to copy the following extracts: “I am very well able to understand why people come to Florida to spend the winter, I had an idea that it was always warm and pleasant, Itis not so paradise like. One would have to go to the Burmndas to find a climate subject to none of the changes that give rise to such expression as “‘the vigors of clis mate.” Frost very likely visits about all portions of the staie every winter. Bauanas are pretty well nipped at all places I have seen at present, and young plants for the early vegetable crop must usually be more or less protected until the 10th to the 20th of Jan. after which time the winter's severe cold snaps are considered about past. Grass grows nearly everywhere in the woods, and is green all winter, while the trees that shed their leaves are few, though vege- tation does not have a bright green as in spring and summer, For weeks at a time, the days are balmy and bright and often you ean sit in a room and read and write without a fire, though 8 warm fire is often necessary to comfort, when pot working on even a sunny day. Four weeks ago, began a warm spell that gave us three weeks fine weather; the past four or six days have been foggy, rainy, damp and disagreeable. We have thus far had five cold snaps, lasting from one to five days. About Florida cold, the wind veers around tothe N, or N. W., and every one looks for a breath from the snow and ice embraced countries to the north. The thermometer sinks to freezing sometimes, then. the coldest spell of this winter, you could see frost on roofs and boards everywhere, though I did not see ice. We had no water out; I got shingles which were well frozen to gether, It had been raining a short time before, as near as I remember, this was about the 15th of Dec. The wind blew hard during the night, on which the frost fell that I speak of. We bad no thermometer here, so I do not know what degree it was. The only ice I have seen, | saw on the 3rd or 4th of Jan, It I wish to say further of Florida “Flor- ida wild is not nice,” said a man to me, and that strack me as a shrewd observa- tion, itin a wild state, in the way of production of tropical and chiefly semi-tropical fruits and ers and plants, and the winter climate that brings it into notice, and all er countries, apples as great a loxury as a Pa. urchin put to many more uses, 3 . Bf A BRANCH RR. A branch railroad from Coburn to Miliheim, it often seemed to us would be a project worth figuring on by those locally interested. The grade is very easy, the rails would only need to be ofasmall engine with ao inexpensive passenger coach and a freight car or two The total cost per mile would hardly be one-third that of the average ordinary cost of railroads per mile. The rolling stock above mentioned would be suffi The trade from part of Sagar valley, all ties, As there is no rosy outlook for the Milton railroad going thro’ Brushvalley —the northern route seeming to be pre ferred—the trade for such a branch to Millheim would not be interfered with, By estimating the amount of passenger and freight traffic that would use it, a basis might be bad to figure on. The Penn’a rr. would permit its freight cars for shipping purposes to be used on such branch, There are shorter branches than this that pay, constructed by locali- ties similarly situated. Why not get out a charter for the incorporation of the Coburn and Millheim RR, Co.? there is wealth enough there to put it through. di _-—e- » RIGHT -of-WAY, road between the Gregg and Harris twp. lines are being closed up. The Tressier case, which was to be tried at conrt last week, was settled, by allowing Tressler $400, which the plaintiff agreed to. In the case of Mr. Wm, Heanich, for right-of-way over his farm, a short dis- tance east of Old Fort, Esq. Boal and ex- Sherifl Spangier,proceeded to Millhe im, on Friday last, to confer with Mr. Hen- nick, and arranged the matter with that gentleman for the sum of $200, payable in ove year without interest. There is another unadjosted case, that of the Col. Taylor farm, at Old Fort, In this case the demand is considered un- reasonably bigh, which has caused delay in adjusting it In these cases citizens of Centre Hall are the sufferers mainly as the money is to come out of their pockets. ntti stipes dp mm— IRON NOTES, The following items may be of intel est relative to the new iron industries at Bellefonte: A 100 ton coke blast furnace is being erected by P.
