Iloa J. M Justice, In Loganspjrt Journal. The cold wintry weather of the past two or throe weeks is a reminder of fifty years ago, when we had five months of solid winter weather much like the days of this week, only colder.- On the night of November 7, 1812, a northwester blew up a snow storm, and a general freeze, the mercury soon went down, to zero, wad continued near there, sometimes, however, it settled to 20 below and a few times to 26; we had frequent snows whenever the temperature would permit. The Wabash river froze over early in November and remained a solid ice bridge! for five months. All the small streams were frozen, many of them all the water frozen. The farmers lost many of their cattle and hogs from freezing, and want of proper feed, for so long and severe- a winter. The first day of Feb. 1843 was the coldest of the winter the mercury settling to 26 below . zero. The 20lh of March it hovered around 20 degrees belo w : All these five months there wa3 elegant sleighing. At the final closing out of winter the wagons and sleighs were still crossing the river on ice the eight of April 1843 and continued to erosi over the Wabash abovo the Pittsburg dam on the ice until the 11th of April 1843. It was found that the surface of the earth was frozen three feet~cTeep~*WßeFg the winds had blown away the snow. The ice on Pittsburg dam was also three feet thick. Several winters since we have had a few days of equally cold weather but none so long cold. Even in May 1843, many of the farmers found frost in the earth when they commenced their spring plowing. The excessive cold produced many cases of brain fever cerebro spinal meningitis [and followed in the spring by an epidemic of erysiplas which was extremely malignant and fatal.
