•.7 '-Death of Rev. Dr. Nott.
The serious illness whion for some time
has prostrated the Rev. Dr. Nott, has at last
terminated, as was expected, ,in his death;
which the telegraph•informs as 'took plan
yesterday morning.
Eliphalet Nott had reached the advanced
age of ninety-three years, towing been tam - Li
in Ashford, Windham county, Connactimit.
in June,l773. He never received a collegiate
training, but when quite young studied di- ,
- vinity; and when twenty-one years old, was
acting as a missionary in the central part
of this-State. The Presbyterian congrega
tion of Cherry Valley gave him a call, and
after officiating in that, place two or three
years, be was called to a Presbyterian
church in Albany, where he soon became a
noted and popular preacher. In 1804 he was
chosen president of Union College, Salm--
nectady, and held that office till the time of
his death. Sixty-two years of his life have
been identified with that institution, which,
under his care, has risen from poverty to
wealth and importance. During this time
nearly four thousand students nave gradu
ated at Union College, and as late as 1854
about seven hundred of them visited the
venerable Doctor Nott.
It is odd enough that Dr. Nott, whose
name is so associated with colleges and
literature, should also have been one of the
founders of a most flourishing mechanical
enterprise—the Novelty Works in this city.
He was inventor of a new stove, which was
called the "Novelty," for the manufacture
of - which a shop was built. The establish
ment gradually expanding its scope, was
the nucleus of the Novelty Works. The
late Mr. Stillman was associated with Dr.
Nott in this enterprise.
Dr. Nott has obtained no less than:thirty
patents for various mechanical improve
meats and inventions. He was also an ac •
tive promoter of the temperance cause, and
has written works thereon.
Perhaps no other instance can be adduced
of any college president, or indeed any
official, holding office for the long period of
sixty-two years. During this time Abra
ham Lincoln was born, made history, and
died.
Mr. E. C. Delevan, of Albany, the great
advocate of temperance, who for thirty-five
years found an effective support in Dr.
Nott, calls our attention to the following
sketch from the pen of William H. Seward,
which appeared in the English edition of
Dr. Nott's great work on temperance,twelve
thdusand copies of which are now sent tree
through the Post Office, to as many clergy
men of all denominations in Great Britain,
from the temperance press there. It appears
to be appropriate at this time that this just
tribute from the pen of his pupil should be
made public in this country also :
" Dr. Nott has lived nearly a century.
The period of his life comprises the whole
of our national history, and even his ma
tured and publicly active years have been
more than `three score years and ten.'
Gifted with rare versatility of talent and in
dustry of habit, he has impressed himself
upon the country and the age in many ways,
as deeply as other men only aspire to im
press themselves in one.
"Were any - historian of our times to begin
to catalogue the names of the eminent di
vines of our country, perhaps the first name
that would occur to him would be that of
Dr. Nott. Were he to go on and add those
of its noted instructors of youth, again
the name of Dr. Nott would first suggest
itself. Were be then to add those of its
Biblical expositors, the same name would
again present itself among the foremost.
Were he to continue with these of its phi
losophers and reformers, still the same hon
ored name would recur with like pre-emi
nence.
"The pulpit has long counted him as one
of its most impressive orators. Union Col
lege, over which he has so long presided,
owes to his organization and management
its high prosperity. Thousands who were
once his pupils. and are now scattered
throughout the Union and the world, useful
and prominent in every walk of public and
professional life, look back to him with al
most filial affection, and are, unsonscioualy
even to themselves, disseminating-and per
petuating the influence of his teaching.
Science has been enriched by his researches;
art owes to him more than one valuable in
vention. Literature has received from him
contributions which will. endure with the
language itself.
"No great political or moral reform has
taken place during the century which is not
indebted for a part of its success, to his sa
gacious and efficient support. A life of
irreproachable purity, Christian benevo
lence and virtue has made him at once
teacher and an exemplar of his generation.
"His remarkable influence over men, in
dividually-or in masses, is in part attribu
table to keen perception of character and
careful study of human nature, but more
perhaps to the tendency of his mind toward
the examination of subjects in their practi
cal rather than their theoretical bear
ing. Thus in religion his attention has been
given to ethics rather than polemics; in
science, to the practical application of laws
rather than abstruse investigations of their
origin; in politics, to measures and results,
rather than theories or controversy; in lite
rature', to its instruction rather than its
recondite studies or its elegant pleasures.
".Few men have in their lives done so
much to guide the lives of others in accord
ance with the dictates of philosophy and
the teachings of Christian revelation."—

The Chestnut street Bridge Case
WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.—TheUnited states
Supreme Court to-day decided the Phila
delphia Chestnut Street Bridge case. Mr.
Justice Wayne delivered the opinion, as
serting the principle that the power under
the Constitution to regulate commerce es
tends to all navigable waters, and does not
stop at State lines. Bridges are in tht
character of ferries. He referred to tilt-
Delaware Blackbird' Creek case, in which
Chief Justice Marshall held that the dam
authorized there to be erected stopped a
navigable stream, bpt unless it came in
conflict with a law of Congress, it was a
matter for Delaware herself, of which the
United States had •no jurisdiction. The
Court could see no difference between this
and the Chestnut street case, and could not
annul the law of Pennsylvania authorizing
its erection.
The public good is to be consulted, and
Congress may, whenever it becomes neces
sary, interfere, as it did in the Wheeling
bridge case, by special or general law, with
in the sphere of its Constitutional authority.
The Delaware river being, within the limits
of Pennsylvania, the Court could not say
she exceeded her powers, which could not
be made subject of review by the Supreme
Court, which discovered nothing. to distrust
the decree of the Circuit Court of the Eastern
District of Pennsylvania, which is affirmed,
with costs.

.A Snow Bonnd,Train: j
(From the tit.Pneljdinnesota, Pioneer of the Vith.]
From 'Charles Mcrtrath, Esq., Mate
Auditor,who returned last evening From
r'reeborn county, we gather some inci
dents of a trip on the Central Railroad,
which will give some idea of the obsta
cles and troubles which that railroad has
had to contend with the past week,
owing to the recent snow storm.
Mr. Mcllrath arrived at Faribault on
Friday. That was the day of thel first
snow storm. The Central road had been
running up to that time, but that night
the storm blockaded the road, and trains
were compelled to suspend running.
The snow plow was put in opera
tion on Saturday, but only cleared the
road as far as Rosemount. The passen
gers; of whom quite a number had by
this time collected at Faribault,remained
over Sunday, expecting to get through
-- on Monday, without doubt.
On Sunday night, however, it again
commenced snowing and drifting furi
ously, and trains could not run at all.
The portion of the road already cleared
was again drifted up. Nothing could be
done on Monday while the storm lasted,
toward opening the road. The nest day
(Tuesday) the storm- abated, and the
snow plow was again put to work, but
so heavy were the drifts, and so packed
in the deep cuts, that but little progress
was made. The passengers still re
mained at Faribault, expecting each day
that by the next one the trains would
run again as usual.
• On Wednesday three engines were
attached to the snow plow, and by great
exertions the road was opened to Fari
bault on Thursday morning. The'train
started from Faribault on time that day,
and got as far as Farmington, where it
was compelled to stop. About fifty pas
sengers were aboard the train and about
one hundred employes of the company,
who were aiding in clearing.the road of
snow. The passengers atonce quartered
themselves among the few houses at
Farmington, and proceeded to await the
opening of the road, faring meantime as
best they could. Among the number
were several ladies.
Superintendent D. C. Shepard was
aboard the train, and at once went
ahead with the snow plow and laborers,
to force a passage through the drifts.
They worked with almost superhuman
energy for several hours, until darkness
came on, and yet had made but little
progress in clearing a way through the
cuts, between Farmington and Rose
mount. The snow plow, one of the
largest, perhaps, ever made in this
country, was driven by three powerful
engines. Mr. Mcllratii, who was on
board one of the engines, watching the
operations of the plow, says it was really
a grand sight. The modus operandi
was as follows: The engine would back
down the road a short distance, and, then
run at terrific speed right into the bank
of snow. The snow would be thrown An
huge masses, thirty or forty feet, into
the air! The momentum of the train
would force it into the drift so far as to
seem almost buried. It would then be
backed out, and the process repeated,
each attack clearing a few feet of track.
One can scarcely formany idea of how
deep and compactly the snow is packed
in those cuts. After the storm of De
cember 9th, the snow plow pushed the
show aside and merely forced a ditch
through it, wide enough for the cars to
pass. The walls of snow rise on each
side of the track 12 or 14 feet high ! The
snow was packed so hard that the plow
cannot now force the new drifted Snow
into it. Hence, the only way it can be
got rid of is by throwing it upward out
over the bank on each side. •
Another difficulty added to the slow
ness of the process. The three engines
consumed large quantities of wood and
water, and both were very scarce at Far
mington, which lies on an extensive
prairie. After the company's wood pile
was exhausted,:and a quantity of rails
from fences confiscated,several thousand
feet of scantling were used as fuel. This
supply exhausted, in all probability the
train would be compelled to back down
to Northfield for a new lot of wood.
Whether this plan is feasible or not is
doubtful, as the road is badly drifted be
hind them, and there was no turn-table
at Farmington. In addition to all the
other mishaps, toward nightfall one of
the engines broke down, and there was
good prospect of the entire train stick
ing there until the road could bedug out
by shovels and an engine sent from Min
neapolis to draw it out.
And, as if all the above disasters and
tribulations had not heaped Shepard's
cup full enough, the telegraph line was
down, and not a word of intelligence
could he get from above or below.
There were over 60 passengers at Far
mington Thursday forenoon, where, in
all probability they are yet. Now, the
resources of the goodly village of Far
mington as to larder and bed rooms are
not the most extensive, and the formei
had been pretty well drained by the 10)
hands of the snow plow train when
went down a day or two befcyre. 'How
the 150 weather-bound unfortunates farec
on Thursday night, and yesterday auc
last night, we can only conjecture. W(
hope, however,that they will be released
from the snow blockade before their ra
tions become so scant that raw corn and
mule meat will be considered luxurious.
Mr. Mcllrath, foreseeing the starva
tion which an unexpected addition of
150 souls to the population of Farming
ton might produce, footed it over to
Rosemount, where he remained Thum
day night, and yesterday procured a
team at an extravagant sum,and arrived
home safely last evening. He reports the
depth of snow on the prairies at ; fully
three feet.
Burbank & Co. design sending down
stages to Farmington to-day, and rescu
ing the. unfortunate passengers. This
would have been done before had the
telegraph been in operation:
The St. Paul & Pacific Railroad was
yesterday compelled to cease running
their trains, and the. Minnesota Valley
Road is reported to be in the same Condi
tion.,lf we have no more snow storms
they will be in running order very soon,
however.

MARINE MISCELLANY
A letter from capt Panno, of bark Suliote, of Bel

Wilmington, from Bangor for BOSILQ, 75 miles east of
Cape Cod, and took ; ..ff Capt Thomas and crew, who
