BETTER TmEs.-January LIST is passed, with
much better state of financial affairs than was
to be expected. The delight of some to cry
hard times had frightened the safest, and no one
knew what the next day would bring forth. But
happily Jan. 18th secs as rapid revolution in
financial affairs for the BETTER as Oct. 18th did
for the worse. Every body in the country has "a
few dollars at least, and there has been good
move towards yearly prompt payments. Espe-
cially have our large, wealthy and respectable
farming community both money and produce on
hand, and while they hold the destinies of good
living, they cannot be so recreant to their own
best interests us not to meet their little demands
and thus create more lively market for their
produce,by enabling people of the cities and viii
lagos to buy. Where everybody pays their little
dues it enables others so to do, thus setting in
motion what money there is and creating more
healthy condition of affairs. For the niggard-
ly soul who refuses to pay, when abundantly
able, no one has any pity. The country was
never more wealthy than at present; and, if
we are allowed to judge, there will be MS rapid
return to the "good times coming, as there
was departure.
