The YEAR 1S47. The new year which
is coming in is remarkable for several pecu-
liarites which may be considered ominous
by the supcrstitious. An exchange paper
sum, them up in the following manner =
"The year begins with Friday and ends with
Frday-that very unlucky day. For the
first time in the recollection Of the oldest in
habitant,' there will be no full moon this year
in the month of February-unlucky month.
Our national political day begins on Sunday,
the 4th of March-unlucky day, There will
be no eclipse visible in the year-unlucky for
the star-gazers. But as an offset for the
whole, January is to be blest with two full
moons, and March with a like numbcr-thls
will be lucky and will perhaps throw light
enough over the dark features Of the year to
overcome all evil representations "-AidM
