‘ “ The Old year expired amid themost vio-
lent hailstorm of the season, continuing
without intermission during the whole of
New Year’s-Day, and through the succeed-
ing night. It was very unusual in point of
duration, severity and description, and much
aux-ity is felt, lest it may prove to have been
very disastrousin its effects. The first hour
of the dawning year was greeted by furious
wind and cold, continuing until about day
break, when an intenser cold‘set in, and the
rain, Which was now falling much ligavier
began to congealand clatter on the window
paines with'a checrless rattle. We shrug-
ged our shoulders, and thought of Dr. Call-
cots lines. V 3 '
' Hark! how the rain is falling,
And loudly roars the blast
What torrents pour, Shut to the door
And also the shutters fast.

perplexcs them. The people have held sev-

WThc New Haven Palladium gives the
following report of the wreck of theschoon-
or John- R. Watson, of New Haven 011'
Black Rock Harbor on New Year’s Day :—
“The schooner left New York laSt Tues-
day for Providence, with a cargo, of pig
iron and coal. She lay at Hart Island Wind
bound until Thursday, when the wind fa-
voring she proceeded, and nothing. unusual
happened until when 011‘ Huntington the
wind suddenly shifted from S. W. to. N. N.
E., and blowing heavily the captain endeav-
ored to make New Haven harbor, and suc-
ceeded in reaching to the eastward of
Charles Island, ofl‘ Milford, when a portion
of the vessel’s sails were lost, compelling
him to bear awayfor Black Rock, ofi‘ which
port they arrived about 9 a. m. Friday.
Owing to the sparse canvass on the vessel -it
was impossible to beat up into the harbor,
and it was found necessary to anchor out-
side or go ashore on Fairfield flats. The ves-
sel was anchored and lay safely until the
Wind increased, causing the sea to wash
over her and finally swamping her in‘about
thirteen feet of water. A boat was then
lowered by the direction of Capt. Allen,
who went Into the cabin for his trunk, while
the rest. Of the crew, three in number, took
to the boat and awaited his'rcturn. Just as
he was coming out of the cabin a heavy
sea broke over the schooner, forcing those
in the boat to cut adrift and washing the
captain overboard. He was soon afterward
seen clinging to a hatch, and every ell‘ort
made to save him, but when reached life
was extinct, and it was impossible to save
the body. Those in the boat finally succeed-
cd in reaching the shore, all in an exhauSt-‘
ed condition, and one of them very badly
frost bitten.”

Without ten o’clock, Friday night, a fire
broke out in the Machine shop of the N. Y.
8.7 N. H. Railroad at New Haven- The fire
spread rapidly in Spite of the efforts of the
Firemen, and property to the value of $100-
000 was destroyed. The Palladium says :—
“The firemen finding that the Machine
shop miIst burn, turned their attention to
saving the Round House, in which were
fifteen locomotives worth a hundred and fif-
ty thousand dollars, although at one time,
(when the roof was on fire,) it seemed as if
its destruction Was almost inevitable. The
machine shop which was of brick and two
stories high, and about a hundred and twen
ty feet long, was destroyed, and with it a
large quantity of very valuable machinery
and mechanics‘ tools, togetherwith one 10-
comotive, No, 5, which was in process 0-
repairs, were rendered almost worthless.
The flames, however, did not stop with this
work of devastation, but destroyed the ad-
joining building a brick structure, one story
high and of the same length as the machine
shop, and with it the blacksmlth’s working
apparatus and tools, together with badly
damaging a locomotive, N O. 20, which was
in ”process of conversion into a switching
engine The engines in the Round House
were all pulled out doo‘rs by hand and
towed to a safe distance‘from the flames by a
locomotive which chanced to be near at
hand ready for use. Incase the Round
House had succumbed to the flames at the
time when it seemed as if such must be the
case, much of this val Iable property must
have been- seriously damaged.”

‘hcrc are occasionally queer episodes in
high life, and the case of Commodore Meade
of New York, may well be considered one
of them. The commodore seems to have
been a bluff, hearty old salt, withhis own
ideas concerning obedience both in the navy
and in the family, and perhaps sometimes a
trifle rough in the enforcement of them.‘
a rich young speculator, and “mamnra” was
heartily in sympathy with the desxre of her
daughter. But the commodore objected,
and objected in a somewhat vehement man-
ner; whereupon by the aid of a conniving
physician, and the probable free use’ of cur-
rency, the husband and father was pronounc-
ed insane and hustled into a lunatic asylum,
and the daughter straightway married the
man of her choice. Now comes the news
that the commodore has been brought
into court on a writ of habeas corpus and
pronounced perfectly sane by Dr. Halstead,
who was appointed by J udgc Sutherland
to examine his condition. He was immc-.
diately discharged from custody,but too late
to prevent the-marriage to which he was so
much opposed.
Fathers who oppose the marriage of their
daughters will of course take warning by
this case and cease their opposifion, for fear
of sudden seizure, examination by a bogus
or bribed physician, and incarceration be-
hind the barsof a mad-house. .

The Union Pacific
RAILROAD COMPANY.-
OFFER A LIMITED AMOUNT OF THEIR
FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS
_ At Par.
NINE HUNDRED AND srx'rv MILES
Of the line West from Omaha are now completed,and
the work is going on through the Winter. As thodis-
tance between the finished'portlon of the Union and
Central Pacific Railroads is now less than 400 miles,
and both companies' are pushing forward the work
with great energy, employing over 30,000 men, there
can be no doubt that the whole
GRAND LINE TO THE PACIFIC
Will be opened/or Balinese in the Summer of 1869.
The Regular Government Commissioners have pro-
nounced the Union Pacific Railroad to be FIRST
CLASS in every respect, and the Special Commission
appointed by the President says :—= '
“Taken as a whole', THE UNION PACIFIC RAIL-
ROAD HAS BEEN ‘WELL CON STRUCTED, AND
THE GENERAL ROUTE FOR THE LINE EXCEED-
lNGLY WELL SELECTED. The energy and per-
severance with which the work has been urged for-
ward, and the rapidity wlth which it has been execut-
ed ai'e without parallel in history, and in grandeur
and magnitude Of undertaking it has never been
equalled.” The Report states that any deficiencies
that exist are only those incident to all new roads,
and that could not have been avoided without mate—
ially retarding the progress of the great work. Such
deficiencies are supplied by all railroad companies af-
‘ ter the completion of the line, when and wherever ex-
perience shows them to be necessary. The report
concludes by saying that “tho country has reason to
congratulate itself that this great work of national
importance is so rapidly approaching completion un-
der such favorable strapless.” The Company now have
in use 137 locomotives' and nearly 2,000 cars of all da-
rcriptlons. A lhrge additional. equipment is ordered to
be ready in the spring. The grading is nearly com-
pleted, and ties distributed for 120 miles in advance
of the western end of the track. Fully 120 miles of
iron for new track are now delivered west of the Mis-
souri River, and 90 miles more aré om route. The to-
tal expenditure for construction purposes in advance
cf—tbe completed portloh of the road is not less than
eight million dollars. _
Besides a ddnutlon from the Government of 12,800
acres of land per mile, the Company is entitled to a
subsidy in U. S. Bonds on Its line as completed and
accepted, at. the average rate of about 829,000 per mllo,
according to the dlllicnlties encountered, for which
the Government takes a second lien as security. The
Company have already reéelved 922,156,000 of this
subsidy. of which 81,280,000 was paid Dec. 6th, and
$040,000 Dec. 14th. ‘ -
Govern’t A1d--Secur1ty of the Bonds.
By its charter, the Company is permitted to issue its
own- FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS to the same
amount as the Government Bonds, and no more.
These Bonds are a First Mortgage upon the whole
road and all its equipments. Suehi mertgage upon
what, for a long time, will be the only railroad con
nectlng the Atlantic and Pacific States, takes the
highest rank as a safe security. The earnings from
the way or local buslncs's for the year ending J one 30
1868, on an average of 412 miles, were over FOUR
MILLION DOLLARS, which, after paylng'all expen-
ses, were much more than sufilclent to cover all in-
terest liability upon that distance, and the earnings
for the last five months have bgen’ $2,386,870. They
would have been greater, if the road had not been
taxed to its utmost capacity to transport lts own ms-
terlals for construction. The income from the great
passenger travels, Chins freights, and the supplies
for the new Rocky Mountain States and Territories
must be ample for all interest and other liabilities.
No political action can reduce the rate of interest.
It must remain for thirty years—81’s: per cent. per cm.-
imm in gold, now equal to between eight and nine
per cent. in currency. The principal is then payable in
gold. If a bond with such guarantees were issued by
the Government, lts market price Would not -be less
than ‘20 to 25 per cent. premium. As these bonds are
issued under Government authority and supervision,
upon what is very largely a Government work, they
must ultimately approach Government prices. NO
other corporate bonds are made so secure.
The price for the present is PAR, and accrued inter-
est at 6 per cent. from July 1, 1868, in currency.
