Mr.. Editor How cold it is? General
Borcas is coming in at every crcvice, and
makes rs all bow humbly to his will. The
travtlcr draws his cloak closely around him:
the man of business does not stop on the
street to converse; nor does the school boy
tarly on the way home to tease his compan-
ion. All, all is hurry.
Truly blessed are we who have the com
forts of home and how glad we should be to
assist those i'll distress Yet how regardless
are the citizens of order loving Port, about
the happiness of Others. That man, who
short time since stood high in the estimation
OF lis all, is now permitted 10 Join in the
drunken rcvelry, without Tie least admonitory
council, or the bless ed restraint of Il temper
ance organization. Look We to it We projcS-
sorS who make public prayers for the people,
that you be not condemned for lack of effort
in the onnobling cause oC total ahstinancc
You professors who support those engage in
the traffic, in preference to those who arc net,
ask yourselves seriously, il you are not in an
indirect manner, az least, putting the cup to
your brothers lips. lntcmperanoc has so
increased, that those keeping little shops are
about to join III opening wider the gates of
Hell, and manufacture G. mrany to dwell
with them, when God Almighty will not per
| init them 10 dc any more damage upon earth
The extra meeting Inc! eases III inter, st
about sixty have already prof Ssyd pardon,
while the number Of seekers nightly ranges
| from fifteen to twenty -fvc,-Thcrc is a gen
cral turning to the Saviour. Tie preacher
gave us considerable Of a Seeding on last
Monday night, Int III cons, qucncc Of his
standing high i'll the estimation Of us all, his
marks were ,cciv,d bcnchciallv.
II those having charge Of that church
clock, have any idea Ct selling it: | think
can lind a purchaser: it would suit ccrtain
parties who come latc 10 church Oh Sabbath
mormag.
| The qnarrying grounds Of Goss. Cook & Co.
are quite curiosity to those not familiar
with such operations. Each department of
the trade is conducted in systematic order,
and The whafyes are crowded with huge
blocks, waiting transportation as soon as
navigation will admit Of it.
DR.. Norris was robbed of his pocket book
and contents, by German, who entered his
room at night.
am happy to announce the exit of one
ofml bachelor frienls--J. b. Picson-from
the single ranks; and hope he will have Il
pleasant voyage and safe return.
a petition is in circulation to prevent
swine from running at large within the cor
poration limits; but few think it worthy Of
their signature, thinking, suppose. that
those clearly scavengers do more good in
eating the filth III our streets, than the per-
fume of their sty would do, to promote the
general health of our town.
Mr.. Editor, what has become of your poeti-
cal correspondent Cecil" from this town
| hope he has not frozen up. It's pity that
his poetical genius should remain ,ncultivat-
cd; so hope we will soon hear Of his where
abouts. g.. BAyARD.
