SENSIBLE FAsnIoN.-A New York let
:er writer observes:
"The ladies Of New York have really
begun to learn wisdom from experience.
Instead Of the lissue-paPer shoes, in which
so many have in winters, heretofore,
marched To the grave of consumptives,
they now wear lea'hsr or ndla rubber
bouts while in the streets; and these boots
instead of the shape ordinarily worn, are
high-heeled aud high-topped, like mems.
In sanitary pointoI view, this change
cannot be too highly estimated.
We have always wondered why ladies
who are mole delicate than men, should
so recklessy expose their lives by wear
ing thin shoes in winter. when men wea
rubbers or Stout waterproof boots. W.
ate glad 10 see that fashion has ordained
a cha nge in this respect, and we hope i
will be universally adopted.

country contemporaries to be very favor

great depth of snow. A very, large in

another and perhaps more certain indl.

of manure. and values it as worth 10 the
