Snow AT LAsr.-On last Friday night sew
eral inches OF snow fell here, which has had
an enlivening effect upon everything. Sleigh
ing and Shedding is going on briskly, and new
lite has been infused into cur lumbermen.
The rivers banks will soon be covered with
timber, boards, shingles, &c. We are not pre-
pared to say whether the timber and lumber
business will be as heavy last spring or not.
1t is certain, however. that the want of snow
has so far retarded operations TO some extent.

CURwESsvuLE.-We learn that by census
recently taken of the neighboring town OF
Curwensvilc, the number Of inhabitants is
fixed at 5l1. This, we think, shows a consid-
cradle increase since the taking Of the last
National census. The business transacted in
the place is large. The educational interests
of the town are we'll attended to. A fnc bick
school house, erected by prominent and in
fluential citizen, is decidedly the best building
in the county for that purpose. There are at
present three schools in operation, having 10
scholars. The free schools are open months
in the year. Wepresume there are few towns
in the interior Of the State, of proportionate
size, that can boast of raising as much of their
own '.liying,'' as CUrwensvilIe. We have been
informed that 81 hogs were raised by private
families, and Killed this season, producing in
the aggregate Is 1868 lbs. of pork also 800
lbs. Of beef, goo bushels Of potatoes, and a
sufficient quantity Of corn to fattsn the pork
ers.' These are evidences of thrift, which
show what industry and attention may accom-
Iiiish on a small piece of ground, and that the
people Of that enterprising town are wide a
wake to their interests.
