cuse-and here have been for the last seven or
days. Daring that time we have had everything of
April but the name. Sunshine.and clouds-thunder
and lightning rain and snow-mud and water, have
each in their turn predominated. The weather
having been quite warm for several days, the roads
are entirely broken up, and consequently there is
but very little intercourse between the village and the
surrounding country.

thousand persons sgned the total abstinence PLEDGE
ia this village alone, and that four hundred of he
number were confirmed drunkards. This is doins
pretty well for u population of little over sev,s
thousand. On Tuesday evening last, attended 4
