Clear * days. Cloudy 9 days. Floating Clouds 15 days. Rain on 4 days. Snow on 8 days.

Amount of Rain and Melted Snow for the

month 3.055 mches. About 15 inches of

Snow fell during the month. The storm of the 18th was the most vio-

lent that we have had for many years—in- tense cold, heavy snow, and very sharp winds are rarely combined to so great an ex-

tent, as on that occasion, and the suffering and loss of life, that have resulted are not

eve* yet fully known. It is probable, how-

ever, that in this region of country, more

lives have been lost in this single storm than

iu all preceding ones of the ceotury. At 7 o'clock in the morning of the 18th,

tbe Thermometer stood at 10" ; it fell steadi-

ly till 2. P. M., when it was 3° above xero,

and at 9, P. M., the Mercury stood at 4£°. The Barometer at 7, A. M. stood at 30.216

inches; it fell during tbe day, and at 9. P.

M. it stood at 29.854 inches, and at 7 the

next morning 29.536 inches. The violent

wind which blew throughout the day, and

the following night, drifted the snow so that

it was impossible to measure its depth with

accuracy; the best estimate we could make

was about nine inches.

By the following comparative statement,

it will be socn that severe as has been tbe

cold this year, it has not equalled that of

last Winter. Jan. 1856. Jan. 1857.

show any material decline from last year com-

parative total, and should rot be surprised to

notice a positive increase, unless the interrup

road which should have arrived at 3 o’clock

, ceed. On the mountains the snow' which i fell on Friday night, is said to have been 18

;inches deep. The train was again detained yesterday,

and had not arrived at 5} o’clock.

Lecture Postponed.—The Lecture adver-

tised to be delivered to morrow evening, lor

the benefit of the Library Company, by Col.

andria and Washington Railroad have been

changed, so as to run in connexion with the

tion will be taken by the committee in refer-

Tiie Ice.—The late snows, rains, and sun-

shine have .weakened the ice in the river

very much—though on Sunday last an indi-

vidual determined to cross to the Maryland

shore, and succeeded in the perilous adven-

ture. We hear that the steamer Powhatan, will make a trip on the very fir*t day that

she can *tart with a fair probability of mak-

ing her way to Aquia creek. On the colde-t

day this winter, the ice was nine inches

thick in the channel of the river, and thir-

teen inches thick in the docks.

they were generally exchanged iu market on

Saturday last.

‘Beardless Barley.*—A variety of barley has been discovered in the gulches of the

Himalayan Mountains, entirely free from those annoying and poisonous beards attach-

ed to all our common varieties. Mr. Briggs, of Wayne County, New York, has cultivated a little of this barley, and sent us on a few

heads, which those interested can have by calling at this office.

Political •—It will be seen by the adver-

Party in this place, and those who intend to

co-operate with it in the municipal election,” is called to be held at American Hall, to-

morrow evening, at 7} o’clock.

summated, and that they had not the piAver to

proceed under their deed, without a decree of

advertise, as revengf/ul, in consequence ol my ridiculing a vaunted power over me. The lol-

lowing opinion of eminent Counsel, concurred 111 bv every other Virginia Lawyer with whom

l have conversed, will show whether a title can

he conveyed by Trustees, who were Stockholders of the Company, and necessarily erediiort in ti.is

case. Even if I were to con$*nt to a sale—sub-

sequent creditors, having liens, would stiil have the equity ol redemption. This illegal adver-

tisement. may have the effect ol injuring ** e, by preventing sales, and of postponing, indefinitely the true amount due tlie Company—not the one

I HAVE, at the request of Thomas Gkikv, esq., read the advertisement ol sale ol the

t auquier W hite Sulphur Springs property, pub lished m the Alexandria Gazette, by Messrs Is ham Keith, and B. H. Shackelford. I have, also, examined the deeds connected with the title to

said property. 1 have carelully considered the

question, whether a valid sale can be made by Messrs. Keith and Shackelfordj under their ad-

vertisement, without the consent of Mr. Green, or rather, whether or not any valid sale can he

made, without such consent, unless by a decree

ot a Court. My opinion is, that such a sale cannot be

made against Mr. Green’s conseut, unless de-

creed b) the Court. 1 think the deed of trust a mortgage., by rea

poii of the interest ol the Trustees in the fund to be raised by the sale—and it the 1 rustees had no interest, the deed, being one executed under

the provisions ol the act ol Assembly, must, I think be executed by the Court.
