' rrIIE 'HARD WINTER
,0,F.. 17 nil.=
There are many Nynolike the wri et,
occasionally hear allusions to the hard
winter, Without being•able to identify
the time. Births, & marriages, are some
times tinted, by old persons, at or near
" the hard winter," and that—vague as
'it is—is as near as they can arrive at the
point. In 11ev. Grant Powers's dis
course—deliVered September 2Sth, 1838
—on the hundred( anniversary of the
settlement of Goshen, in Litchfield
county, Connecticut, there are state
ments respecting a bard winter, the
substance of which I give below. They
probably refer to the time so often allu
ded to, and may be of permanent. in
terest to many of our readers.
About the 20,0 f December, 1779, com
menced a fall of - snow which continued
forty days, with heavy winds most of
the time. It was so cold, that, for six
weeks, the snow did not melt under the
sun's rays even on the roofs of the
houses. Snow was so deep the fences
were hidden; and some orchards were
so covered that hardly even a twig was
visible. Many sheep and some cattle
were buried alive. One house in.Gosh
en—and probably many, elsewhere—
was nearly covered, so that a passage
was dug under the snow, from the road
to the door of the honse, - a distance of
several rods. The demand for snow
shoes was so great that several old hors
es were killed, that their hides Might
be converted into shoes. -By ther aid'
in traveling, public-worship on the Sab
bath was maintained, to some extent,
and communications - between neigh
bors were kept up. But little was done,
excepting going to•mill,(which was ef
fected, at first, by drawing grists on
handsleds,) feeding stock; and keeping
up fires. Few attempted to water their
cattle, -which soon learned to lick snow
for a -part of their sustenance. Deer
were hunted, and deStroyed without
'mercy, pa, for \ a thn, the' crust would
not bear them, but ould support the
wolves and dogs whi ii - chased them.—
By March, the surface of the snow be
came so hard that oxen could travel up
on it.- When the time came for mak-.
lug sugar, the fences were still buried.
Towards the last of March, the weath
er became mild, the snow wasted grad
ually without any great flood, and the
spring opened in the usual time. •
8o much for Goshen. Probably the
same evils wer experienced through
out the east an north very
-generally.
The Whig soldiers of that (lay endured
hardships of which we know little, al
though we may often -have read, and
have heard our parentsor grand-parents
speak of " the bard winter."—Montrosc

_ LABOR Aavp CAPITAL.
The Proprietors of the 1 'lin» a 1d
„
Vertiser have had an expel ienee . not nu
common to men doing
- -an extensive
business. On the 10th inst., the sec
ond-rate bands on . the' paper made a
demand upon the despatch compositor,
a first-class hand, for a weekly contri
bution of $3,00 over and above the lieu
al dues. This .first-class compositor,
Mr. F. H. Gardiner, reduces the tele
grams to order, and sets up correctly
the most obscure copy. Such a man .is
invaluable,• of Counts; and he 'came
.:.
more per week than a second or th/id
rate hand. Hence the demand of the
Typographical Union.
.Mr. Gardiner refused, very. properly,
to accede to the - demand. The mem
bers of the Union threatened violence,
and some of them, the worse for liquor,
did assault him. The proprietors of the
'paper asspredtherbctass that they would
protect Mir. Gardiner in his refusal to
'pay over his wages to the "Ink»), and
continue him in his responsible position.
The ,rioters demanded the cash or. Mr.
G-,'s dismissal, or -they would " rat- the
office." The demand being refused, the
Union declares the paper a " ratolfice;"
and warn printers belonging to the
'Union, and outsiders as well, not to ac
cept employment therein.
,Let us look at this a little : The Ad
vertiser proprietors have invested a large
stun of money in printing meter:leis,
presses, and Associated Press privileg,Ze:
By means of this investment a business
employing many men has an existence
in Elmira; and a business which con
fessedly pays its employes better than
any similar concern in that city. But
among these employes is a man of su
perior skill who can make more wages
during the WPPiC then- 4Lrlv.: fsCIA..-". _ti ~.
does this because he is a 'skilled w0rk
'......b crier a wan or superior intelligence.
A. combination of printers, not his
equals in skill, character,or intelligence,
demanded the surpuls of his earnings
over and above a common hand, to go,
into,J their' common treasury. He
!re
fuses to submit to such'injUstice, and so
unskilled labor ' arrays itself against
skill, character, and capital.
No reasonable inan,Will fail to recog
nize somet l hing radically unjust in the
action of the Union in the case before
ifs. Shall men who furnish the capital
to carry on busimjss, control that cap
ital, or shall men iwho travel to and fro
the land, picking upOdd jobs here and
,there, and having neither local habita
tion or names among business men,
control caPital? This'is a fair questiOn.
We are freo to say that irresponsible la
bor ought not to control capital. Give
it that privilege, and no successful busi
ness enterprise is longer Possible. Cap
ital and labor are mutually dependent.
They cannot wage war upon. each oth
er and take profit to themselves. They
have no natural antagonisms ; for what
is capital invested in productive enter-
N I
pri es but labor resolved into higher
po ers ? _ The various combinations
call d " Unions," among workingmen,
were well intended at the outset. But
the possession of 'power demoralizes al
ways. No sooner did thee Unions as
certain that they could i right a wrong
laid upon the 'c , rafi, than they proceeded
,further, and began to arrogate to them
selves • the right to inflict wrong, by
taking from others - the right to labor
without imposed conditions.
Hence this quarrel in Elmira; and
hence the quarrel in the coal regions.—
A man may properly decide for himself
that he will or will not work for a cer
tain hire. But no man in America
has the right to say that any other man
may not do so much. No marri,er_
combination of men shall say that for
us, unlese they are prepared to use ille
gal force. Such - dictation ought not to'
be submitted to anywhere ; nor will it
be,, unless men part with their inde
pendence as freemen.
• The pless nowhere labors against the
-interests of labor necessary to carry on
its business. Papers devoted to free
trade, l on this continent, may be said to
discriminate against labor. But that
any paper devoted to legitimate enter
prises ever intends to embarass labor
we do not believe for a moment. The
difficulty - lies in the power of ignorance
and . indolence to control capital accu
mulated by prudence and foresight
through these combinations. If every
member ofAbe Union in - Elinira—if
even a majority of the members—were
skillful printers, .there- would be no
quarrel between the printers of the Ad
vertiser and the Printers' Union. It is
an attempt to tax skilled' labor for the
benefit of incapability. As - such it
.must be resisted there, and the enema.-
• --.
agement of the press must resist it else
where.
We have no sympathy with the mis
chievous members of the Union who
have arrayed themselves against the
proprietors in this case: Their action
is founded upon hostility to skill, and
not to capital. •

We do not so view it, altogether. But
all great calamities 'are preceded by a
falling away from principles in the ac
cess of *prejudice and passion. But had
there been no rebellion in 1861, how
should we to-day be able , to say, that
the love of the Democratic party for
place and plunder exceeded its love for
free institutions? Men'live and learn.

The death of Ex-President Pierce
/ took place at Concord, N. H., Saturday,
9th inst., and the funeral was on Mon

man who added nothing to the sum of
human good in his public career, and
who has lived in the world more than
half a century without making It the
better for his presence. There have
been worse men than Franklin Pierce,

He was the . champion of slavery from
the beginning, the oppressor of Kansas
