Monday, We enjoyed a smart snowsterm
preparatory to the sitting of the Court
The Knights of the green bag are as pro-
verbal in this region for stirring the elc
ments of nature AMI causing stormy weather
when they congresatc, as they are for still
ing the angry feelings of litigant,, and e.-
Treating them from the mcshcy Of the law
perhaps little more So
--Those of our readers who have read
Longfclow's "Catawba Wine, taken from
the Atlantic Monthly, which We published
last week must not by all means iorego the
pleasure Of reading the parody on it from
the pm Of Park Benjamin, which they will
find in this issue
RELlCIous We received a letter from Mr..
Wallace, of Long Island, saying that he has
been laborins there with good success for
two months. About thirty have been con
verted. The people have forsaken the ways
of sin, and turned to worshpping God.
We thark our brethren of the press,
for their very kind notice of the American.
Modcs.y forbiis our publishing these gen
erous remarks, but We shall not forget
them.
A friend from Buckspor. informs US
tina. one Of his neshbors. bon, obligcd
to remove into another pea the last of a
litter of pigs, which the unnatural moth.
er had failed to dcvour, found a i,i,er Of
kittens domiclcd in the same bed Of straw
with his pisship the mex, morning They
had been carried thither by the old cat
during the sht. and have sine, made it
their permanent abolc. The pig evinccs
in his conduct towards the kitten. any
thing but hoggish disposition, stepping
carefully around 50 as not to tread upon
them. This seems to be an approxima-
ton towards the time when the "lion and
the lamb shall lie down together"
We learn that Mr.. Samuel f. Pow
ers, of Deer Isle, lost his house by ere,
abou. the first Of March. and all. or near
ly all its contents. BY the liberali,y Of
trends and neiyhbors. he has had ano,h-
er house near y completed for occupancy.
