JOGEls 1IENAS.
~ Winter in its rudest form is here, the
farce blasts of Boreas are blowing around our of
flee. and miniature snow flakes are nsinqating
themselves into every crevice and Granny in the
frame work around US. The last few days have
been exceedingly cold, and the weather has as
sumed that settled shape of steady freezing which
indicates longs spell of bitter cold.
The old year is taking its departure in a sullen
mood and gives us ample iccle touchings as il ap-
proaches its termination. We have every reason
for gratitude for the glorious autumn which has
passed. The weather was mild, the sky serene,
the atmosphere pure and balmy. No place on
the Almighty foot stool is more favored than
this region. Our thanks are elninently due for
the blessings around US. Health! the @ Poor
mans riches and the Rich mans bliss" prevails
throughout the country, and our people have been
more than ordinarily exempt from the maladies
peculiar to mountain localities
We tender to our Patrons our best wishes for
their continued prosperity; may the blishting
influence of sorrow or grief never chill the warm
current of their affections; and may retro
spective glance at the past year, afford them no
subject of unpleasant reflection.
