UNITED STATES NAVY
2061 - H Jan. 18; ed: 3/2 . An officer in the U.S. navy in the Mediter- ranean squadron states that the crew of the ship he is on has sent a petition to Congress, asking that the whisky portion of the ration be discontinued. It is believed that not only temperance and religion would increase then, but that the character and condition of seamen would be elevated.
"We hope their petition on this subject may be heard and its prayer granted, and if others neglect it, we bespeak for it the special atten- tion of our immediate Representative."

2062 - H July 23; ed:2/2 - The U.S. iron steamer MICHIGAN, Commander Inman, arrived here from Sandusky yesterday with Commander Morris and Colonel Totten on board. The pair are on a tour of lake ports to as- certain the possibilities of the different harbors for naval depots.
"President Polk could not have selected two more efficient officers for a mission of the kind, and their report respecting the defences of the inland seas will be looked for with deep interest by the residents of this region."

2033 - H Aug. 30:3/1 - In a letter to the editor, "S" says: Many are not aware of the importance of our navy; they only look at the dollars it takes to support it. By the navy, our commerce is protected and our country known in distant lands, yet Locofocoism desires to abolish our naval force, as it bas desired to do away with all other beneficial institutions.
"How many years, after the destruction of our Navy, would it be be- fore the flags floating from the peak of a British vessel lying in the N. Y. Bay, would be transferred to Governor's Island and the Battery? The people will answer this by telling Locofocoism to let our gallant Navy alone."

WAR
2068 - H July 26; ed:3/1,2 - Gentle peace has so long ruled among the mighty nations of the earth that war with its attendant horrors has measurably passed from the minds of the middle-aged and has not sullied the memories of the young. Still, every now and then some unreflecting persons clamor for war merely because of the excitement it arouses. Such persons should read the history of past military engagements, es- pecially the description of Marshal Macdonald's great charge against the Austrians at Wagram as narrated by Headley in the July number of the AMERICAN REVIEW. This stirring article fully depicts the terrible and bloody carnage at Wagram, when the brave Scot, Macdonald, cleared the center of the Austrian ranks and saved the day for Bonaparte, losing more than 15,000 of his entire troop of 16,000 warriors. He succeeded in forcing an Austrian retreat, but the cost was awful and the bar- barous slaying almost unbelievable.
"Such was the awful battle of Wagram, and such the charge of Macdonald. We know of nothing equal to it except Ney's charge at Waterloo, and that was not equal, for it failed." (39)
WATER SUPPLY
2069 - H Apr. 24:2/4 - At the city council meeting on Apr. 22, a resolu-' tion was adopted providing that a committee of three be appointed to con- struct a reservoir to contain 200 hhds. on the corner of Euclid and Erie sts., and that when completed the clerk draw an order on the treasury for $125 for that purpose.

2070 - 11 Nov. 21:2/3 - At the city council meeting on Nov. 17, it was resolved that the reservoir at the foot of Superior st. be repaired immediately.

(1)
2072 - H Feb. 5:3/1 - Snow Storm - A very blustering snow storm raged last night, and today has been the severest this winter. During the storm the wind swept through the city so fiercely from the Lake as to leave the streets nearly bare of snow, but in the country back from the Lake we presume the sleighing is good. We learn that the snow was about 8 inches deep at Chagrin Falls yesterday morning. (verbatim) (2)

2074 - H Mar. 18; ed:3/1 - Snow fell to the depth of a few inches this morning, March 18th, which, had the ground been frozen, would have fur. nished passable sleighing for this bare-ground climate. As it is, bells have been jingled quite merrily today. (verbatim) (1)
2075 - H Mar. 20; ed: 3/1 . "The weather and face of the country, pre- sents the appearance of mid-winter, Sleighs with their accompanying bell-es are driving rapidly through our streets.

2076 - H Mar. 24; ed:3/1 - Our Cincinnati friends have just witnessed the embrace of January and May in March. The mild winter and early spring had put forward the peach and plum trees into full blossom and the green grass crowned the hills. "The cold in the Lake vicinity was pretty sharp, but fruit we think was sufficiently backward to escape serious injury. Peach buds we examined in the city this morning, were untouched by the frost."
(3)
2077 - H Mar. 29; ed:2/2 - "The weather about these days. The sun 'pours down his heating ray' with the fervor of June, and the roads are becoming dry and dusty. Spring showers would be very grateful to the young grass and starting blade."

2078 - H Apr. 7; ed:3/1 . For some days past the weather has been cold and the nights freezing - sufficiently hard, we fear, to materially in- jure fruit in this section. But little rain has fallen for some weeks. Roads are dry and dusty, and grass and vegetation are much retarded by the cold drought. Quite a snow-storm is raging today.

2079 - H May 7:3/1 - The freeze on the night of May 5 was severe in the lake region. A friend from East Cleveland brought in several specimens of the sad work of the frost. Peaches, apples, cherries, grapes, and strawberries were destroyed. Fruit in this city is still promising. (3)
2080 - H May 26:2/2 - In a letter to the editor, "Not the Oldest Inhabi - tant" says: The season of 1816 was noted for unfavorable weather due to icebergs and unusual phenomena. Many ships were lost in the ice fields, and were found much further south of their regular positions than usual.

The weather was extremely dry and cold. There was much sickness and suffering both among men and animals; corn and grass crops were ruined everywhere.
"But we have had warm weather and rains enough since that time, and we may well trust a kind Providence to favor us in the same way here- after ....
"With the strongest wish and hope that we may yet have a thaw during this summer, and water enough at least to wash our shirt-collars." (8)
2081 - H July 21; ed:3/1 - Our exchange from the eastern cities con- tinue to note many sudden deaths by sun strokes and imprudencies in drinking cold water when overheated. New York reports 23 in that city during the week.

Last evening a refresh- ing shower passed over the city, but produced no abatement of heat. Mercury today, in the least exposed shade, stood at 90, and in the shade but slightly heated by reflection rose to 98."

2084 - H Nov. 14:2/1 - Snow. - Our city readers will be surprised to learn that Saturday, the 8th, a snow storm of considerable severity prevailed a few miles back from the lake. At Chardon snow fell to the depth of about six inches, and at Medina eight inches! A pretty strong winter admonition for this climate. (verbatim) (1)
2085 - H Nov. 21; ed: 3/1 - Our barometer predicted that at noon on Nov. 18, a gale was near at band, and true to the forecast, a gale did come that night, the same gale which capsized the schooner ELIZABETH WARD.
"The importance of the barometer in anticipating the weather is be- coming more appreciated on the lakes, and many of the steam boats, propellers and best class of sail vessels are provided with them." (3)
2086 - H Dec. 1; ed: 3/1 - Winter "comes in like a lion" - a good old fashioned north east snow storm, bells jingling, roads hard and rivers frozen. A pretty sharp introduction for the old white beard in this climate truly. (verbatim) (1)

H July 22:3/2 - See Tariff (5)
2140 - H Nov. 13; ed: 2/2 - The New York SUN, remarking on the beauty of American women, declares their pulchritude is in a large measure de- tracted from by the paleness of their features, amounting almost to an unhealthy pallor. This, adds the SUN is no doubt due to the lack of exercise among our women.
We copy the SUN'S remarks because they are as pertinent in Cleveland as anywhere else. "There is no good reason, why ladies sufficiently clad, with stout double soled walking shoes, should not take regular and constant exercise in the open air in all weather."
