Frem Our Oicn Correspondent, JACKR0NVILLE, Fla., Jan. 14.—Iun the year of onr Lord 1835 o great frost-wave swept over the country. Winter sét in early, sl betore the fdes of November the entire North was buried fusnow, Doubtlessmany of the older residents of Chlcago will remember their rigorous experl- ences at that time. People didn't travel about futhose days as they do now, jumping from a4 cup of coffice and o biseuit fnto u Pallman car, und gliding across the continent at the rate of three or four States a day, From ull necounts which lsave como down to us from that primitive era, it sppears that the favorite motor in travellng was the ox-team, o specics uow slmost extinet. The ox-team was safe i it was slow: it didn't full through bridges or run off the track; but eomes how it was not conduive to travel, especially In freczlog weather, People, therefore, stayed at home, and found constaut oceupatlon in keeplog warm. Southof the Oblo there was perhaps greater suffering than in the euller purta of the wountry, where the people wers aceustomed to n certain measuro of frigidity. In the Carolinas, Georgly, aud the Gulf States, there was severs frost, and, In some places, snuw, causing untoht dam- age to the crops. Even away down in Florldalt extended, tou. I was talking yesterday with Lr.

During the night, however, the weather suldenly turned cold, und fn the morning the astonlshed Inhab- itants of Jacksunville swoke tu find fee in thesr water-pitehiers. The thermometer had towere:d from 50 to 8 above, an alnost Incredible ocenrrance for this latitude. Well, the orange crop was utterly rulned, and St. Augustine, which exported 150,000 packages of vranges in 1534, did not send out o siugle cargo. And to show how unprecedented was thils cold weather, it s rclated that orunge-trees, measuring twe ty fnches in diameter and being over a century old, were destroyed. For 100 years previvus, at Ieasty there had not been a similur exnerience. 1 allude to thess facts becauss the present swiuter hag been In a measure a repetition of the winter of 1335, Over a great part of the South there has prevalled, and s provailing, a degreo of cold that ts remarkable, It has been my for- tune to traverse almost at right angles this belt, # one may so term it, which extends from southwest to morthe cust, commencing a8 far south as Texas.
