CURL I N Go—The return of a little frost this week
has set
.our curlers on the qni vine. Unwilling to be
debarred from their -exhilarating amusement till deep
ponds are bearable, they are at present on the look out
for a piece of ground to feu, that they may form a shal-
low pond on the plan followed by Dr. Cairney, Largs.
We hope nny person having ground in the vicinity,
suitable for such a purpose, will be ready to aid them in
their views. The sport is most exhilirating, and in the
case contemplated is attene.ed with no danger.—Paisky
Advertiser.
