Local A.fiairs.Meteorological Notes fob January
1861.—The most notable characteristic ofthe month was the amount of dull, cloudyweather. Counting half days, the clear daysof the month amounted to only nine. As a
consequence, the temperature was moreequable, though degrees lower than inJanuary 1860. On the 24th the phenome-non of the parhelia, or mock suns was very
beautiful and extensively noticed. The two
circles around the sun were well defined, asalso the edge of the horizontal circle, whichby its intersection with the other circlesproduces the mock suns.
The Thermometer, observed at 7 A. M.,
and 2 and 9 P. M., gave the following re-sults:
Maximum of month (14th) 36°
Minimum “ (24th)... —ls°
Highest daily moan (14th) 31£pLowest “ “ (30th).... —9®Greatest “ range (22d) 28°
Least « “ (11th) 2°
Range of the month 61*
Mean “ “ 9® 645’
Snow was observed to fall on 18 days, to
the amount of 11 inches. The reduction
to water gave ’55 of an inch.In January 1860 the amount ofsnow was
two inches, water from melting, TO of aninch* F.
The Mail Robbers. —Erasmus D. Eas-
ton and George Hooker, charged withstealing letters from the Stillwater PostOffice, bad their examination last Fridayand Saturday before United States Com-
missioner Geo. W. Prescott, Esq., and werebound over to appear at the next term ofthe United States District Court. Hooker
obtained bail, but Easton was committed to
prison.
Fourth Anvkbsary of the Young Mens’Christian Association. —On Sabbath
evening last, February 3d, the anniversaryexercises of the Young Mens’ Christian As-sociation, was held in the First PresbyterianChurch. Our report was crowded out en-tirely yesterday, and must necessarily bebrief this morning. The usual ceremonieswere observed—singing by the congrega-
tion, then reading the Scriptures, and prayer,
after which the annual report of the Cor-responding Secretary, Mr. H. M.Knoxwas read.
The finances of the association remainabout the same as exhibited a year ago,with the exception that that a loss of some-thing over SIOO on uncurrent money, re-ceived from the lecture fund of 1859, hasbeen charged over.
The officers elected for the ensuing year,are as follows:
President—D. W. Ingersoll.Vice President—G. W. Prescott.Corresponding Secretary—W. S. Potts.Treasurer—D. D. Merrill.Board of Directors—For one year—D. D,
Merrill, A. W. Hall, H. M. Knox, N. P, Lang-ford, G. W. Prescott, »nd W. F. Mason.
For two years—T. D. Simonton, T. F. Mas-terson, W. W. Bixby, E. D. K. Randall, W. S.Potts, and J. B. Camp.
The annual address by Rev. Wm. Speerof Hudson, Wisconsin, was a masterly ef-fort. It was a review of the importantevents of the year 1860, political, religious,and literary—and showed that momentousmovements towards the final great day ofuniversal freedom and happiness were inprogress—though now our own belovedland is enveloved in a cloud through whichwe cannot pierce.
The society have lately had presented tothem a five years’ lease of part of the secondstory of Ingersoll’s magnificent block, for aHall and Library room—the only conditionbeing that the estimated amount of renttherefor (two hundred dollars per annum,)be raised by them and expended in the col-lection and maintenance ofa public library.The provision of the lease protects the twohundred dollars to be raised, annually, fromany drafts for contingent expenses, (whichare to be provided for by the fees for mem-bership, avails of lectures, &c.,) and devotesthe amount at least to the accumulation ofbooks. This will, even during the presentyear, give a fair nucleus fora library.
To complete and finish the Hall somefunds willbe needed, which are tobe raisedby the festival to be given on the 12th inst.,(next Tuesday.)
New Flocking Mill.—Henry J. Brain*ard & Co. are about to erect an excellentflouring mill, on the stream that runs justabove the residence of Rev. Dr. Patterson,on the Stillwater road, and is intended es-pecially for the accommodation ofthe farm*ers between St. Paul and Stillwater. It isto be three and a half stories in highth,forty by sixty-five feet on the ground. Itwillhave four run of stone, besides an ironmill to grind corn in the cob. A mill ofthis kind has been much needed by thefarmers, and willenable them to get theirwheat ground and dispose of the flour toour citizens at cheaper rates than they havebeen accustomed to pay for the article.
We hear rumors of extensive mail robber-ies somewhere on the line between St. Pauland La Crosse, but cannot ascertain atwhat particular locality.
The snow is said to be thirty inches deepon the prairies west of the Mississippi inmany places.

gresent Legislature to pass a law licensingtallions and Bulls—the proceeds to be appro-
priated to the support of the State and Agri-cultural Societies.
The resolution was supported by Messrs.Jones, Stevens, Ruble and Ford, who arguedthat such a law would have the effect to pre-vent the introduction and use, for breedingpurposes, of “scrub” stock. Mr. Stebbins saidthat the passage of such law would only con-sume the time of the Legislature, lead to liti-gation, and, in its practical workings, be foundto be of little real benefit or advantage. Theresolution was not adopted.
The Constitution —Mr. Wilson moved thata Committee of three be appointed to alter oramend the Constitution in such a way that theSociety may hereafter know who to recognizeas members and entitled to participate in theproceedings of the State Society.

Agricultural College at Glencoe Colo-nel Stevens offered the following:
Whereas, The citizens of Glencoe, in McLeodcounty, have subscribed liberally to the erec-tion of the State Agricultural College; and,whereas, Edward White of that village has ex-pressed a willingness to build said college; andwhereas, the time has arrived when the Agri-cultural interests of this State demands that acommencement should be made on said build-ing, with a view to a completion of the sameas soon as possible and the finances of the Statepermit; therefore be it
Resolved, That the Executive Committee ofthis Society in connection with the Board ofEducation of the Agricultural State College beand are hereby requested to confer with Mr.White, and inquire into the expediency ofadopting measures for the purpose of havingthe said building let, provided that the sameshall be done without immediate expense tothe State.
Mr. Stevens stated that SIO,OOO had alreadybeen subscribed and the money was ready tobe paid in for the commencement of thesebuildings.
Three hundred and twenty acres had alsobeen donated and accepted by the State—thedeed given, and $3,500 in cash paid therefor.Itwas to secure the donations already liberal-lycontributed, that he offered the resolution.He was dosirous to see some steps taken bywhich the completion of the building could besecured. All aid over SIO,OOO would, of coursehave to be borne by the State.
Mr. Baker said that what the State mostneeded at the present time was not so muchthese buildings as the schools. He opposedthe Executive Committee taking any risk bywhich the State should be held responsible forany large sum of money. Au expensive pileof buildings was not necessary at this time. Hewas in favor of making a beginning, and the tenthousand dollars already subscribed was anample sum for the purpose. He thought theinterest of the State demanded an AgriculturalCollege, but itmust be commenced in a smallway.
Mr. White being present, stated that he waswilling to enter upon a contract to commencethe building of the College; that he wouldgive ample security for the performance of hisduty ; that he would commence on what con-tributions had already been made, and relyupon the State for the next three, five or tenyears, to contribute such further aid in thecompletion of the buildings as the advance-ment and development oi our agricultural re-sources may require.
After some further debate the resolutionwas adopted.
The Society then took a recess until half pasttwo o’clock, P. M.

time* The Hon. Moses Sherburne, being pres-ent, was invited to take a seat on the Presi-dent's stand.

Mr. Benson, in reply to representations madethat the Legislature were adverse to doing any-thing in aid of agriculture, denied that suchwas the case. He felt confident that any mem-morial to that body, relating to this subject,and presented by this Society, would be re-ceived and considered.

Railroads— Colonel Stevens ottered the fol-lowing :
jßesolved, That this Society earnestly re-commend that the present Legislature inaugu-rate a system and policy that will insure thespeedy construction of Railroads, which shallgive to the farmers of Minnesota the commandof the most favorable markets; and that, inthe judgment of this Society, such systemshould include a line irom Lake Superior to theMississippi river, as paramount to all others,for the development of the forests and mines ofnorthern Minnesota.
Mr. Leßlond moved to lay the resolution onthe table, but.withdrew it that he might heat
his friend Mr. Clark, of county.Mir. Clark tfi'en took the floor, and made**stirring apeechjn favor of r&ilseada and e*fpeejally a railroad from St. to Lake SW-pfertor. He hoped the farmer!, through thisSociety would not hesitate to say to the presentc *
Legislature that railroads in this State wereimperatively needed.
Mr. Benson was glad to hear so eloquent aspeech from Mr. Clark. He thanked the gen-tleman for introducing the resolution—wasglad the subject had been brought up- andthought the resolution should be adopted.
Colonel Stevens made a strong speech infavor of the passage of the resolution. Withthe Mississippi river blockaded at Southernports, we must turn the tide of our commerceNorth -to Lake Superior- -where we can reachthe great lakes and find an outlet and marketsfor our grain and produce. A railroad fromSaint Paul to Lake Superior is the one thingessentially needed at this time.
The resolution was adopted, with the follow-ing amendment, added by Mr. Ford, viz: “andto afford a better market for the State in gen-eral.”
On Motion of Mr. Benson, Messrs. Stevensand Clark were appointed a Committee to laythe subject matter of the resolution before theLegislature in its proper form.

MISCELLANEOUS.
The Amalgamation ot Languages.—Thera is a growing tendency in this age to appropri
ate the most expressive words of w her languages, andafter a while to incorporate them into our own ; thusthe wore Cephalic which is from the Greek, signifying“for the head,” is now becoming popularised in connection with Mr. Spalding’s great headache remedy, butit willsoon be used in a more general way, sod theword Cephalic willbecome as common as Electrotype,and many others, whose distinction as foreign wordshas been worn away by common usage until they seem“nattve and to the manor born.”
’Abdly Realized. —Hi ’ad ’n ’orrible’eadache this ha ternoon, band I stepped hinto the ha-pothesaries hand says hi to the man, “Can you heasme of an ’eadache f” “Does it hache ’ard ?” says ’e.“Hsxceedlugly,” says hi, hand upon that ’e gave meCephalic Pill, band ’pon me ’onor it cured me so quickthat 1U ’ardly realized hi ’ad ’ad ’an ’eadache.
Bridget.—Missus wants you to send hera box of Cephalic Glue, no, a bottle of Prepared Fills—-but I’m thinklug that’s not just it nanther ; but perhapsye’ll be afther knowing what it is. Ye see she’s nighdead and gone with the sick headache, and wants somemore of that same as relalved her before.
Druggist—You must mjsn Spalding’s CephalicPills.
Bridget-—Och I sure now and you’ve sed it ; here’sthe quarlher and giv me the Fills, and don’t be all dayabout itaither.
Constipation or Costiveness.— Noone of the “ many ills that flesh is heir to ”is so preyalent, so little understood, and so much neglected ascostlveness. Often originating incarelessness or seden-tary habit ; it is regarded as a slight cisorder ot toolitUe consequence to excite anxiety ; while inreality itis the precursor and companion of many of the mosfatal and dangerous diseases, and unless early eradicated it willbring the sufferer to an untimely g ave.Among the lighter evils of which costlveness is theusual attendant are headache, colic, rheumatism, l'oulbreath, piles and others of like nature, while a longtrain o; frightiuldiseases such as n aiignant levers, ab-scesses, dysentery, diarrhoea, 'dyspepsia, apoplexy,epilep »y, hysteria, hypochondriasis, melan-choly and lirst udicate their presence iu thesystem by this alarming symp'om. Not un.reqiieutljthe diseases named originate inconstipation, hut take onan independent existence unless the cause is eradicatedinan early stage. From all these considerations it fol-lows tl at the disorder should rece.ve immediate atten-
tion whenever it recurs, and uo person should neglectto get a box ot Cephalic Pills on the flrst appearance oi
the complain, as their timely use will expel the insi-dious approaches of disease and destroy this dangerousoe to human life.
A Real Blessing.—
Physician—Well, Mrs. Jones, how is that heidache ?
Mrs. Jones—Gone ! Doctor, all gone I Ihe pillyousent cured me in just twenty minutes, and I wish youwould send more so that I can have them handy.
Physician—You can get them at any druggist’s. Callfor Cephalic Pills, 1 find they never laii, and I recom-mend them li allcases of headach .
Mrs. Jones—l l hail aeutl lor a box directly, and shalltell all my sullering trieuds, lor they 'are a rentblessing
Twenty Millions of Dollars Saved—Mr. Spalding has -old two millions of bottles ol his cele-brated Predated Glue, and it is estimated that each bot-tl saves at least ten dollars worth ot broken iurniture,thus making au aggregate ot twei ty millions ot doll.rsreclaimed from toullobs by ihis valuable invention.Having made his Glue a household word, be now pro-poses to do the world Btiligreater service by curing allthe aching heads wrh his Cephalic Pills, and if tLey areas good as hi Glue, headaches will soon vanish awaylike snow in July.”
Over Excitement, and the mental careand anxiety incident to close attention to business orstudy, are among the numerous causes of nervous head-ache. The disordered state of mind and body incidentto this distressing complaint is a fatal blow to all energyand ambition. Suflerers by this disorder can always ob-tain speedy relief from these distressi >g attacks byusing one ot the Cephalic Pills whenever the symptomsappear. It quiets the overtasked brain, and soothes thestrained and jarring nerves, and relaxes the tension ofthe stomach w hich always accompanies t nd aggravatesthe disordered condition ol the brain.
Fact worth Knowing.—Spalding’sCephalic Pills are a certain cure for Bick headache,bilious headache, nervous headache, Costiveness andgeneral debility.
Great Discovery.—Among the mostimportant ot all the great medical discoveries of this agemay oe considered the system ot vaccination tor protec-tionfr m small pox, the Cephalic Pill for relief of head-ache, and the use of quinine for the prevention of feverseither of which is a sure specific, whose benefits willbeexperienced by suffering humanny long after theli dis-coverers are forgotten.
Did you ever have the sick headache ?Do you remember the throbbing temples, the feveredbrow, the loathing and disgust at the sight oi food. Howtotally unlit you were for pleasure, conversation orstudy. One > f the Cephalic P 11a would have relievedyou from all the sullering which you then experienced.For thii and ollurpurposes yon should alwavs have abox of them ou hand to use as occasiou requites.
Nervous Headache
