pea The attendance at the Printers Con.

I The attendance at the Printer Con
ven.ion in Milton on Tuesday last, was no
so large as expected, owing probably to th'
roughness Of the sleighing. Not bein,
able, on that account, to ensure as genera
a concert OF action as would lie desirable
it was thought better tosuifer the busincs:
matters for which the convention had bee.
called to remain untouched The members
OF the craft were therefore left to follow
the example Of the continental fre-locks
and fight on their own hook hereafter, as
! heretofore.
Foremost, We believe, amongst the arri-
walls was the benignant countenance Of the
Muncy LDminory-arm in arm, however,
with legal adviser, in anticipation proba-
bly, of intricate difficulties for solution at
the Bar. Next, four mile heat between
our portly self and our musical neighbor
around the corner, but we finally pulled up
in front of Eckbert's, pretty nearly abreast.
The Junior of the Clarion Register dropped
in by accident, and the Senior of the Nj
tomian extended cordial fraternal greet

just now to dwell upon the details of this
memorable assemblage, nor catalogue the
arrival of the other notables of the fra.er-
nifty from the North and West Branch, but
will publish the official proceedings next
week. The day was pleasant, the tone of
the convention was that of genial good hu-

baleful, ever-present shadow of delinquent
subscribers and city monopoIisls and take

special note in the annals Of that venerable
borough
The people of Milton seem to be quite
revived hy an (imaginary?) prospect of hav-

as either myth or moon>hinp
After the adjournment, the convention,

to the music of the merry bells, left the
