Acceptable. We received a letter a few
days since containing a piece of paper 'billus-

friends aro burthened with that kind of stuff,
we have capacity for a little "more of the same
sort."
If there is any virtus in the old adage that
when "'March comes in like a lion, it will go
-cut like a lamb,J we may soon loos for an
nd of the existing severe winter, for more
disagreeable and blustery weather could not
well be than prevailed during the first three or
four days of tho present month. The winds
were high, and the snow, which fell in consid
troble quantities, was driven wildly about and
by forming iuto drifts has obstructed the roads
"very much. The first fall of snow this winter
wa3 the night after Christmas, since which
time large quantities have been added. Du
ring the period from Christmas until now, but
little thawing has occurred there being only
two days, we believe, in which it was percep
tible to any extent, and then not enough to
completely "settle down" the snow. Much
inconvenience has been experienced by those
engaged in making timber and in conveying it
to the river banks, by the great depth of the
now, and there Is little doubt that but for it
much more lumber would have been taken to
market than will be the ensuing season. If
This snow should happen to pass off with rain
or a sudden thaw, much damage may be ex
pected to result to property of every descrip
tion along the streams.
Random Thoccuts. A short time ago, we
-were sitting at the casement in the moment
when the chime of the "church-going bell"
broke the quiet which is wont to prevail on
the day set apart for the service of Omnipo
tent Jehovah. Soon the bustling throng was
gliding past: here an aged sire the hoar of
years had marked his locks once dark as the
raven's plumage his step was unsteady the
light of his eye was not as vivid as erst calm
ness and contest sat upon his brow ; there a
fairy being, with qnick-beating pulse, bouyant
tpirits, and high hopes. Uappy, indeed, is
her present existence; but, alas, as years be
gin to thicken on her, anxieties and perplexi
ties will arise sorrow may usurp the abode '
bliss, ind misery dispel the brightest an
ticipations. Close upon these comes a state
ly, qnen-Ukc form, with b-nfy efaujpvtf Xii '
her lineaments ; and anon one upon whom the
w-urlJ has beamed less brightly. Here goes
out ol the proud "lords of creation ;" there
passes a -lone, lorn widow," with grief and
poverty as her portion. The passers-by have
Income multitudinous, all hurrying to the sanc
tuary, where the gospel is to be expounded
und its precepts taught. What a motley crew
they are and what a variety of thoughts arc
here '--Cribbcd-up, cabined and confined."
Here will be found avarice and selfishness, as
well as holy and pious reflections and hopes of
u bright immortality beneath the gaudy vest
ment as well as the homely garb may throb
Taany a wicked heart and dwell many an" un
righteous thought. Strange thing?, indeed,
often transpire in the gorgeous templ.-s of thi3
world. Whilst a highly-perfumed, kid-gloved
icion of fallen Adam will causa a score of pew
doors t fly open as if by magic, a plain, un
ostentatious man, though he may be "a whale
Ji afl3h-pond." intellectually considered, will
scarcely attract the chilling uttention cf a bur
ly sexton, who bows him into an obscure and
uncomfortable seat! Would the meek and
lowly Xazarine, who preached "good will to
all men," make such distinctions ? Does He
require that frail humanity should be superbly
attired with glutcriES diamonds ana rustling
silks, ad make an ostentatious display, in or
der to secure an entrance to that happy place,
which Schiller designates as
'Die hcitcrn RegSonen.
"Wo die roinen Seelea wohnen ?"
Nay ! TVc are taught that only in meekness,
gentleness and humility, loving our neighbor
as ourself, can we approach that peaceful
bourne which lies m the heavens eternal.

Revenge of a Lover Ccttino off a Girl's

nose of a girl because she refused to marry
her. The father of the girl, who is a widower,
has a large family of grown-up girls, which he
seems anxious to get rid of, and therefore en
couraged the Italian. The girl was invinci
ble, and entreaties were of no avail. Last
week the lover called at the house where she
was staying and requested to see her at the
door. When she appeared he seized her by
the nose, and cut it off close up to the bridge.
The poor girl screamed and fainted, and while
the family rushed to her assistance, the

1 A Suarp Dodge. "Sheepface," in the farce
of the' Village Lawyer, has found his match.
The man, Fylcr, who murdered his wife some
time since, near Syracuse, N. Y., is playing a
sharp game upon the lawyer who defended him.
It appears that the agreement between them
was in case Fyler was saved from hanging, his
counsel were to have $4000. Of this amount
$1000 was paid in cash, and the remainder se
cured by a mortgage on his farm. The coun
sel put in a plea of insanity, and Fyler was sent
to the Lunatic Asylum. The mortgage is now
about due, and the holders, on proposing to
fore-close it, were met with the defence that
if tho maker of it was insane when the murder
was committed, could he have been sane at the
time of giving the mortgage ? It looks a3
though the lawyers were caught this time.
Cause of the Cold. -In a communication
to the Scientific American, Mr. T. Barrows, of
Dedham, Mass., alluding to the intense cold of
this winter, states that he never saw tho sky
so brilliant and clear by day and night before,
ne attributes the cause of tho cold to the hun
dreds of thousands of tons of powder which
have been burned at Sevastopol, and other,
places, having put into circulation large quan
tities of nitrous gas. "If saltpeter and salam-
moniac," he says, "be put into agiven quanti
ty of water at oOdeg Fah., it will reduce its
temperature 50deg." Ife therefore concludes
that tho gases of the exploded gunpowder
named have exerted a great cooling influence
upon the atmosphere, both in Europe and
America. On account of the pure cold air this
winter, he is of opinion that cholera, yellow
fever, and the potato rot will not be so preva
lent during the present, as in former years.

eat Air-Tight Sjlf-Sealiag Cam ad Jars, for
Presorving Frfsh Frails, &s. This invention for
which a patent has been obtained, commends it
self to the attention of Housekeepers and others,
on account of its great simplicity, and tho effectu
al manner in which it accomplished a very desi
rable and useful object
Tho cans and jars are ccr.ctructed witn a chia
ncl around the mouth, nerr the top, Into. which
the cover fits loosely. This channel is filled with
a very adhesive cement, pre-,red for the purpose
and allowed t? hrJen. In order to seal the ves
sel hermetically, it is only wcersary to hat the
cover sttghtly, aivl press it into place. It may be
opened with as much ease as it is closed, by slight
ly warming the top. The ordinary tin cans, used
for the same purpose for which this is intended,
cannot be closed, us is well known without the aid
of atinnsr: aro difficult to open, and are generally
so much injured iu opening as to bo useless for
future service.
By this simple contrivance, tho process of her
metieal sealing is placed conveniently, within the
reach of every individual; and fruit, vegetables
and butter (if properly prepared) may bo kept,
with tbeir natural flavor unimpaired, tor. an in
definite lergth of time. For sale bv
