More Evidence of a mild winter.

--During the last week, says the Dallas (Texas) Herald, we have seen hyacinths, roses, verbenas, chrysanthemums, oleanders and phlox in full bloom. Such has never before been the case, during the month of January, in one of the prairie counties of Northern Texas. In addition to these novelties, a friend of ours, a few days ago, gathered a dish of fresh English peas from vines that have not yet been killed by the frosts of winter. All these things, the flowers and the peas, have been brought about without the use of hot-houses or stoves.
