Whether they indicate the presence of the coldest, or the coming of still colder weather, we leave tho mercury to detormine.

The cars started out on Monday morning, but finding all tho water stations frozen up, had to return. At another trial, they went on. The same thing happened at Iudianapolis. So we had no eastern mail on Monday night.

On Monday night at 11 o'clock, the mercury in our thermometer had sunk into the ball, which was about 22 degs. below the cypher.— Tuesday morning at 7, it had risen up to 6d below zero, and during the day it still grew warmer, until it was quite tolerable. On Wednesday at 9 o'clock, it stood 11 ds. abovo zero.

13f£r$led to any change in the policy of our Government, dooming itbost not only for oursolves, but likewise for thedown-troddon population of Europe, that we should pursuo, as hitherto, the evon tenor of our wny.

Governor Kossuth paid tho most rospectful attention to all Mr. Clay said, and, on his sido, imparted much interesting intelligence as to the social and political condition of several European nations.

OCT Kossuth is all the theme now. He! recently made a great speech at Washington, and was disappointed in his reception, We will publish part of his Washington speech next week. It is clearly foreshadowed in Congress that the settled policy of the country—non-intervention—will still be strictly adhered to, and if wars come upon us out of the present boiling European caldron, we will meet them at home, and fight it out. Mr. Clay wishes to speak) ter of 1860-1 upon this subject, and we sinccrely hope his health may be suoh that the country shall hear his voice at "no distant day.

ST John S. Taylor, Now York Publisher, has sent us a little work entitled "Salander and the Dragon," intended to illustrate tho evils arising from dark insinuations or slanders.— Any well-written work of the kind, would, doubtless, do much good, and this work we

Last Thursday was Thanksgiving day, which tvas duly observed, according to the Proclamation of the Governor, by the various Prostestant denominations, assembling themselves together in the Baptist Church, when Elder Hobart, of the M. E. Church, delivered an interesting sermon—this was truly gratifying to see all the ministers, and Governor and people, uniting in one common cause, to send up their united praises to one common God, for his goodness the past year.

This was was a fit place to assemble for such a noble purpose, as the little flock who worship here had just been called on a few weeks before, to convene for the purpose of paying the last tribute of respect to their departed Pastor, who was an old citizen here, and who had labored long and hard to build up a church, that should be an ornament to the town.

When nearly completed, he was sent East last May, to raise money for its completion.— This he performed most faithfully, and wrote home to have it finished in good style, and await his return, for the dedication—he did return on the last boat up—but what was the surprise! What were the sorrow and disappointment of anxious friends and relatives, who flocked around the boat to greet a father, a husband, friend, and minister—to behold him on the hurricane deck of the boat, a lifeless and frozen corpse! He had died on his way home five or six days before but by the gentlemanly conduct of Capt. Harris, of the steamer Dr. Franklin No. 2, he was brought up, and instead of a Dedication sermon, it was a funeral. These things may not be interesting to the general reader but I assure you it created quite a sensation here.

The business in Manchester, has been limited this week—is is generally the case at Christmas—but prices have an upward tendency. Messrs.

Milk Business in Orange Orfunty, New York. The following extract from a letter from Orange county, N. Y., gives some particulars in regard to the milk trade between Orange county and New York city, which has sprung up since the completion of the Erie Railroad, and may notbe uninteresting to our readers:

The milk, as soon as taken from the cows, is put in cans these are immersed in cold water, which process cools the milk and prevents it from souring as soon as it otherwise would, were it not thus treated. When it has become sufficiently cooled, it is taken to the nearest milk station, and from thence by the cars to the city. The farmers generally sell their milk to the city milkmen, who retail it to consumers. One milkman usually buys from two to five dairies. Some few of the larger farmers have agents in the city who receive their milk and dispose of it for them at the retail prices.

The most western station from which milk is sent to the city, is Otisville—being about eighty-five or ninety miles the greatest distance it is carried.

There are but few engaged in the business who reside a greater distance than four or five miles from the line of railroad. The inconvenience and cost of carrying it from the farm to the railroad, a much greater distance than above mentioned, renders it unprofitable.

The quantity sent during the spring and summer months is greater than that sent during the autumn and winter. But the average quantity daily throughout the year, is about forty thousand quarts.— This would make the amountsentin a year fourteen millions six hundred thousand quarts. Eight months of the year (from March 1st to November 1st) the farmer receives two cents per quart and the remaining four raontns three cents.

The city milkmen pay the cost of transportation and when they pay the farmers two cents per quart, they sell it to the consumers for four, when they pay three, they sell it for five. The railroad company for carrying the milk to the city have half-a-cent per quart. This makes their daily receipts for milk two hundred dollars —yearly seventy-three thousand.

You ask what is the average worth of cows 1 Perhaps thirty dollars is as near the average as any other sum. The annual yield of a cow worth the price above stated, is valued at about thirty-five cfr forty dollars."

From the Daily State Journal of Jan. 17. LEGISLATIVE SUMMARY. SENATE, Jan. 16—The contest in regard to the election of Reporter for the Supreme Court was renewed. The people's advocates finally triumphed by a large majority. The amendments of Mr. Reid making this officer elective by the people, was adopted, ayes 40, nayes 3. The amendment of Mr. Defrees conferring upon this Legislature the power to elect a Reporter to serve Until the next annual election, was also adopted, ayes 29, nays 15. Several bills and joint resolutions were reported back amended atfd engrossed for a third reading. Resolutions of inquiry and instruction were offered. A Very exciting discussion arose on a motion to reject a resolution offered by Mr. Hol-
