Notes and Comments.

BLooMERIsM, though adopted 10 considerable
extent both In this country and England, seem
on the whole, to be getting against stump.
A large portion Of the sex have declared war
against it, and will prevent, probably, any very
general adoption Of the fashion. We have re-
ceNed several smart and tart communications
on both sides, which we have concluded to de.
cline, believing that, under the circumstances.
the game is hardly worth the powder.
WINTER has set in early, an | in good earn est
loo earnest, perhaps, to last without Tagging.
The snow in this region is nearly two feet deep
on the level, but bare ground may, nevertheless.
be seen before the middle of January. Old
Boreas is huggiug too tight to begin with to hold
aproportionate g:osp through the winter.
