Wtahr-Ice. We have. had, for the past
two days and nights, very fair specimen of
cold weather. Old winter appears to have Ie-
sumed his annual sway, with fierce determi-
nation to freeze things, and is supported most
Justify by old Boreas, who putis and blows with
perfect IoOseness. Considerable ice has been
made-sufficient on many small ponds to bear
the boys, who have not failed to avail them
selves OF the opportunity to have ga slide ~
While winter has thus set in, cold and chill,
let those who have plenty at their doors, not
forget to remember the numerous poer, who
may want and suffer.

lY from the Northeast to the Southwest. A
great many persons were out shooting at them
as they passed over, and several persons we
saw were we'll loaded with the result of their
sport Such flight OF pigeons, the old folks
say, prognosicates hard winter.

tons of the laws came under the notice of the
Police, than ordinarily happens on the Sabbath
day.
