Ingersoil. Several mis- takes of this Kind have occurred. Last year a Mr. Ingersoll in Brooklyn imported a large lot of Chinese and Japanrse goods, images and the Uke, Col. Ingersoll was given the ession by the newspapers, and a good deal of fun went the rounds tn coi uence.

It fs certainly a very remarkabi one for this region in the depth of snow and Ui sundry foggy. misty, moderately ratny, «' days. Most ol the days not marked by fatu: weather have been very mild. Eich snow ta has been settled by rain and then frozen. ‘I> go into the woods or across the fields witn a sled for wood or logs has been attempted sev- eral times of late among us, and proved a very discouraging enterprise, if not a fatlure, ‘The quails last summer were very plentiful. These beautiful birds might be seen in patrs ali about the fields, and the male’s shrill whistie Iight be heard dally, and the flooks last au tuimn were more abundant than I have ever seen them here before. At the close of the shooting season according to law, there were a lenty left as progenitors for another season. tt is feared now that there are none left, Indi viduals here and there have picked up dead birds alladout, the deep snow having doomed them to starvation and death.

Shreve invented and put in opera- tion the steam snag boat on the Mississippl. He appeared before Congress in 1834, asking the government for compensation for the use ofsaid patent. Nine lavoratfe reports had been made from time to time by several com- mittees of Congress before Capt. Shreve's death i 1851, and one or more since then. The bill was iulroduced again by Senator Vest, in De- cember last, and was finally passed last week, The spag boat of 1829 is thesame as that in use to-day, and without it the Mis- sissippl river ‘would be almost impassl- ble to navigation. After forty-seven years of legislation the ancient mariner has at last been vindicated. Walter R, Carter, his son-in law, left for St. Louis last evening, having received from the United States Treasury the sum or $50,000, belng Lue amount allowed by the bill.
