Booth—"This is a hard case. It

After some further colloquy of this
sort, Booth, seeming convinced that he
was in the power of the Federal troop
ers, said:
"Give me a chance for my life. I
am a cripple with one leg. Withdraw
your men 100 yards trom the barn, and

It appears by the Herald's account

On reaching Garrett's farm,, they
were toM by a son of Garrett that there
were two men in the barn This was
at two o'clock A. M. on Wednesday.—
Proceeding Jo the barn, Lieut. Baker
was sent forward and called upon Booth
to come out, give up his arms and sur
render, and that young Garrett would
go into the barn to receive the arms.
Upon his entering the barn, Booth
exclaimed
"Get out of here! Jgou have betray

A colloquy then ensued of which the
following is the substance:
Lieut. Baker—"You must give up
your arms and surrender. We have
come to take you a prisoner, and will
treat you as a prisoner. We wi'l give
you five minutes to surrender. If you
refuse We'll burn the barn."

The World's.correspondent isays it is
'earned that Harold joined Booth just
after the assassination, and it is believ

Sergeant Bout on Corbett, who fired
the shot that killed Booth, says in his
statement:
At 3 o'clock,'or a little after the barn
waft fired, and before the* flames were
kindled,' Booth had the advantage of
us in respect to light.. He could see
us but we could not see him, but after
that the tables were turned against
him. We could see him plainly but
we could not be seen, by him, and he
made a spring towards the door as if to
attempt to force his way out.
A conversation in the barn between
Booth and Harold then took'place,
which was inaudible to those outside,
when Booth again called out:
i'Whoareyou? I could have pick

From "Minnesota, as a Home for Emigrants."
CLIMATE
Prominent among the questions pro
posed by the emigrant seeking a new
home in a new country, are those con
cerning the climate, its temperature,
adaptation to the culture of the grand
staples of food, and its hcalthfnlness.
The climate of Minnesota has often
been the subject of unjust disparage
ment. 'I is too far north "the
winters are intolerable "corn will not
ripen "fruit will not grow." These
and other Similar remarks have found
expression by those who should have
known better. To the old settler of
Minnesota, the seasons follow each oth
er in pleasing succession. As the sun
approaches his northern altitude, win
ter relaxes his grasp, streams and lakes
ar« unbound, flowers spring up as if by
the touch of some magic wand, and
gradually Spring is merged into the
bright, beautiful June, with its long,
warm days, and short but cool aud re
freshing niehts. The harvest months
follow in rapid succession, till the gold
en Indian summer of early November
foretells the approach of cold and snow
and again winter with its short days of
clear, bright sky, and bracing air, and
its long nights of cloudless beauty com
pletes the circle.
It will be remembered, that though
Minnesota has no mountain peaks, its
general elevation gives it the character
istics of a mountainous district that,
while it is equidistant from the oceans
that wash the eastern and western
shores of the continent, and is therefore
comparatively uuafTected by oceanic in
fluences, it has a great water system of
lakes and rivers within its own borders.
These, combining with other influences,
give the State a climate in many re
spects dissimilar to the other northern
States.
One of the most striking of the pe
culiarities of this climate, is the great

pWee. I
Thus it will be seen, that while Min
nesota had a yearly fall of rain ten
inches less than the mean of all the
places, its summer rain is but a frac
tion of an inch less than the mean sum
mer rain of all the places. It may be
added, that one-half of the spring rain
falls in the month of May, and a frac
tion more than one-half ot the rains of
autumn falls in September, giving more
than two-thirds of the whole yearly
amount of rain to the season of vegeta
ble growth, and leaving but the small
fraction to the remaining seven months
of the year.
Judging from the climate of New
England, where the air is loaded with
vapor from the ocean, and the ground
is for months covered with deep snows
or judging from the moie southern of
the Western States, where rain and
sleet are followed by severe cold, it has
been concluded that winter in Minne
sota is a season of terrible storm, deep
snow, and severe cold. The average
fall of snow is about six inches per
month. This snow falls in small quan
tities, at different' times, and is rarely
blown into drifts so as to impede trav
eling. The first snowfall of November
usually lays on the ground till March,
affording protection to the winter grain.
Occasionally at midday a slight thaw
occurs in places with a southern de
clivity. Two or three times in the
course of eight ortenwinters, the
ground has been uncovered for a few
days Long driving snow storms are
unknown, and rain seldom falls during
the winter months.
With an average temperature of 16°
the dry atmosphere of winter in Minne
sota is less cold to the sense than the
warmer, yet damp climates of States
several degrees further south: With
the new-year commences the extreme
cold of our Minnesota winter, when,
variation between the extreme cold of &r a few days, the mercury ranges from
winter, when mercury congeals, and ten to thirty degrees below zero, falling
the intense heat of midsummer, when sometimes even below that. Yet the
it stands for many consecutive days at severity of these days is much softened
95° above zero, in the shade. by the brilliancy of the sun and the
But these extremes afford no index stillness of the air. Thus, while other

six feet and half an inch, was kept in
that cell eleven months and a half.—

it is obsolescent. McCool had a ball

ball weighing thirty-two pounds, the
chain ten pounds. The rain penetrates

in the wet. Eleven months and a half
