Packard, Esq., an Iowa editor und lawyer, was recently lobtiu a snow storm between Sioux rapids and Fort Dodge. About throe hours after he started a hea vy snow norm burst upon him, accom panied by high wind from north west. Knowing the danger of attempting to cross those large prairies in such a storm, he turned buck and attempted to retrace his steps, but soon found that it was im possible for man or beast to face the storm: he tlierefoie proceeded on his journey confident that ho could ride to the next house (40 miles by night-fall. Hut his horse having broken through tho ice sev eral times, became afraid to go upon tho ice, nnd he was delayed many tunes at sloughs until night overtook him at a slough about half way across tho prarie ; here he found it impossible to induce his horse to go upon the ice, and tvhile search ing fur a better crossing, the ice broke with him and let him into the water above his knees. He endeavored to get to tho shore, but the ico broke at every step, nnd no struggleil on through the ice, snow and water, a distance of twenty or thirty feet before ho came to firm ice. He at once attempted lo remove his shoes and stocking", but they were so in cased in ico that it was impossible. Con vinced that bo must remain where he was until morning, and that his only safe ty was in keeping in motion, he commen ced running upon the ice, and continued to do so until daylight the next morning, when having succeeded in cettiii" hi horse across the slough, he started on foot, as he thought towards fort Dodge, The Moveable Festivals of 1859. It Is well known that Ash Wednesday, i.iwier, and v hiisunlitle, tlo not occur at me same dates every year, but Ihatthcv are variable within certain limits, compris ing a period ol upwards ol a month. If the exact elate ol t lie death of our Saviour were known, there, could bo no doubt about tho date of Hosier, which regulates the other moveable holidays; but all we learn from tradition is that the cmcitiximi occurred a shoit time after tho vernal equinox, and immediately alter a full moon. I he question of fixing the ncriod of luster was first agitated at the Nicean Council in the year o'J5. Ascension dav ana vuiitsuntiuo were euuiil v unknown but, according to tradition, the former had taken place forty days alter Easter, and me latter uiiy. 1 he astronomical data uf 1' 1 . .

In I8;"i, tho full moon happen ing to fall on a Friday, (March 21,) Easter occurred on the Sunday following, (2.'!1.) In general the circumstances tending to place LiLster in the month of March are much rarer than those which make it fall in April; for, out of the fifty-eight Eas ters of our country, only fourteen have oc curred in March. I he Litest date nossi. ble is the 21th of April; for, should thero tie a lull moon on the 20th ol March, then mo laschal tun moon will occur twenty nine days later thut is, on the ISth of April and should it so happen that that day were a Sunday, the celebration of haster could only tuke place on the Sun day following namely tho 21th.

Into Coimtos of Andover, in regard to taking out letters ol administration to this prop erly, were next freely commented upon, us was also the conduct of Karl Howe in retaining, as Mr. Smith asserted, properly and titles lo which he had no claim either by birth or succession. If thero was jus tice in England, and he believed it was to beohlaineil in her Courts of law, ho was firmly of opinion, that tho suit that would bo brought in the Vice Chancellor's Court, in the next term, could not fail to prove successful. From the Indian Country. The St. Louis JtrpulHaia of tho 25th, learns by the overland mail, that Major Heintzleinan, the Indian agent, had been to tho Mqiave villages in ouest of tho wo man nnd two children who were captured ny me iuojaves at the time they attacked the emigrating party near the Colorado. But he returned to Fort Yuma without ac complishing the object of his visit. Col. Hoffman had left Fort Teion w ith portions of two companies of cavalry escor ting tho two companies of infantry who are to be stationed in tho Mojave country, at tho crossing of the Colorado. Major HeinUleman, who came through by this arrival, makes a highly favorable report of the silver mining in Arizona. A mine in w hich he is interested, some 25 miles west of Tubac, shows abundance of oro as rich as ?'J5U to the Ion ol'ora. This mine is now in a good condition to be worked, and large quantities ol ore aro be ing taken out. Major Ileinlzlenian bro't in with him a handsome specimen of tho silver, which had been extracted, and a quantity of oro w hich will, it is believed, yield "5 per cent, of pure silver. Near this silver mine is an extensive lediro of what is believed to be richly gold bearing quartz. rrom tort Smith we learn that a large party was making ready to go to 1'iko's l'eak. Arkansas will send out n treat emi gration to that quarter the coming spring. The Arkansas rivei at Fort Smith wus ve ry low, nnd boats found the navigation of the river extremely dillicult. Mr. Fiut- terfield had hoped to convey the Mem phis mail via the river, but was satisfied upon trial that it would not answer. He ha-, we are informed, disposed of the bouts which he bought for that purpose. and will forward the mail to Memphis, as at first, by hind carriage, making, however, by his more recent arrangements, greatly improved time. The Siiirnvii Sanhs or thk Mkhitkr Raneav. M. Marcel do Serres, a learned geologist of Montpelier, has just commu nicated lo tho Academy of Sciences, some curious facts concerning the "dulcs,"or shifting sands existing on tho French Mediterranean coasts. These sands, it must bo understood, tire first thrown upon the shore by the sea ; when dry, they uro carried inland by tho winds, to tho dis tance of several kilometers, eovorini? fields and vineyards to the depth of two or Uireo'lins icei, sunocaung vegetation, nnd transform ing tho richest vegetation into a desert waste. Tho only eU'ectual means of coun teracting this evil, is to plant tamerisks uiong tne coast, so as to form a barrier mil instances uro frequent, where neither plantations nor walls have been suflicient to prevent the sands from covering roads nun iiems. Jaist August two houses, sev eral stories high, about a mile from Agdo (Ilerault), were completely buried in the sands. The houses happened to bo unin habited at tho time, so that no lives were lost; and, fortunately, a north wind suc ceeded to the opposite 0110 which had brought tho sands, and blew them away again, il. Marcel du Sorres, in studying this phenomenon, has discovered "that these slutting sands form two distinct zones ; the first, coiisistimr of vorv lino ands, contains very few shells or other organic matter; the second, 011 the con trary, contains a large pioportion of shells, round shingles, nnd fragments of rock. Tho second zone remains near the coast, tho former, on the contrary, is carried in land, as beforo stated. Notwithstanding their disastrous effect, theso sands, when mixed with rich mould make an excellent soil for growing tho vine. The Meanest Man- Ai.ive.

Clwrllild, Pa. Sept. 32nd, 1858. D The Mississippi Repp-mated Debt. The Auditor of Mississippi, a few days ago, paid $100,000 to Mr. Goodman, President of tho Central Railroad Company, upon bonds issued for the Plan tors' Bank many years ago. It will be remembered that j thes? Planters' liank bonds are a part of the repudiated debt that made the Mate of Mississippi notorious throughout the world. Tho Louisville Courier says : Our readers must not infer, however, that Mississippi intended, by the payment, to acknowledge and liquidate her repudi ated debt. This $100,000 was only on a line financial scheme of Mr. Goodman in behalf of his railroad. He found out, by looking into the records, that there was a fund in tho treasury that could bo gotten for his road, nnd ho pot it, perhaps, by making European bond-holders of the re pudiated bonds subscribe them to his road. Wo bono ho will continue, this process, j and gather up all the repudiated bonds of the State, and get the State to acknow ledge them on condition that they are converted into railroad stock within her borders, way than money, but ribbons, pinchback pins, ami other .articles of feminine finery, sure to tangle girls' eyes. Never turn up your nose in contempt at rod hair again! It sells for more ami brings more than any other hair; a head that gives frequent crojs of this color, is a source of a fortune to th-i lucky possessor. Tho market valuo of hair is as follows: red, black, brown, blonde. But even their fashion changes ! Fifty years ago, blonde was in the greatest demand, ami golden blonde commanded readily eight shillings an ounce, that is, tivico its weight in silver. It appears that tho Englis hair has become a great deal darker than it was formerly, ami this ciiange is aiinuutea to llio rrcncli wars, when a great many English men married Spanish women. Black huiris now the fa vorite in market, and at least 2OII.00J 'pounds are annually j.u rchaed in tho French departments I have named. The prices paid range between ono and five francs to the pound ; tho "head'' of hair weighs between ten ounces and ono pound. The hair is purchased from tho itinerants by wholesale dealers, who clean it ; when cleaned it is worth ten francs a pound, aild when it is ready to bo used on wigs it is worth between forty francs and eighty francs a pound. Germany supplies tho world with blonde hair; the trado is en- tiruly in tho hands of Dutchmen. London alone buys 10,000 poundiof hair annually." l, i,i .1. ..V. . r .'. i -i'i'J "'"6' I 1 ; J ' :-Vi 6 T -. l""u 1 u' uud '""k nt tll(! moon for hours to- -r-' " '""""" 'i-igetiior."
