Omnibus Line.
MASON and CHURCH are now running a
coach or omnibus from McGregor to the
Railway Depot and back, just as often as
they we'll can. 1t looks city-lik to hear the
coach rattle across the ice-bridgc and thro'
town, loaded with passengers. These two
proprietors are Woodworking men, and for
the promptness with which they deliver Ex-
press packages, small Railroad bundles,
boxes, &C., they deserve the favor Of all our
business men. MASON will cross the ice
when no other man dares to think Of it, and
we really fear he may Ego below" one of
these times. If such an accident should
happen him, and he don't come up for sew
eral days, we will celebrate his virtues in an
obituary that will satisfy ST.. PETER that no
questions need be asked about his conduct
on this little globe. If ST.. PAT. has any
thing to do with passing one through the
gates, it wouldn't be bad idea for MASON
always to carry copy Of the Times in his
pocket-there is no doubt but our namesake
would be inclined to leniency towards any
one who has this paper on his person.
Jokes aside, Mason and CHURCH are two
of the most useful men we have, and we
hope they'll be repaid we'll for the enterprise
they exhibit. At the McGregor House
there is book left, in which persons who
desire to cross the river can record their
names and residences, so that the coach
may call for them.

Weather, Markets, &c.
The weather is cold but pleasant, roads
icy, slippery and without snow; the travel.
ing is very bad indeed and with load, alb
solutely dangerous-thc wagons often get
to the foot of the hill before the horses
The river is rising slowly and the ice, alrea-
dy strong, is thereby improved; this rise
if held till spring will cause very early
opening Of the river.
The past week has been very dali one
for this point. Most of the dullness is at
tributable to Ethe roads, but it is probable
that the absence of pork arrivals has its
cause in the fact that hogs are pretty much
played out. Pork keeps up well, 5,25
@5,65 being paid yesterday. Wheat, IS !;
Corn, 40; Oats, 2s@3O; Eggs and Butter
sell at l23; Lard, 10; Chickens 81, 90 per

The eastern quoted market rates will
scarcely justify the rate paid here for pro-
ducc, but our dealers arc live men and their
competing interests help the producer.

BALL ROOM DANcING-An Ohio editor
gives his views of several dances which he
witnessed at the Inauguration at Washing
on, thus:
The want of variety in this Metropolitan
dancing was, however, fully made up by
the fancy things, sucl as the waltz and
polka. Those were absolutely barbarous.
rA--ss r-'-i~.-~A ,.--s--, A. ...a'ey vi
which even Byron called in question, is
here ignored, as altogether too cold and dis
tant. The lady here lays her head on the
gentleman's bosom, puts one hand on his,
and the other in his coat-tail pocket, then
resigns herself to his embraces, and goes
to sleep, all but her feet, which, when not
carried by him clear off the floor, goes pat
ting around on her toes. The gentleman
thus entwined. throws his head back and
his eyes up like dying calf; his body
bent in the shape of figure 4, he whirls,
backs up, swings around, swoons, to all APP
pearances, pushes toward and leaves the
ring to the delight of all decent people.

1t is said that the picture Of "old BRowS''
has already brought 81, 500 to his family.

them; for several years past, he has been
absent all the time, and his wife has picked
up precarious living in one Of the poor
mountain districts of New York. Like old
Don Quixotte, he let his own affairs 60 to
the Devil and ran about the world to regu-

told the woman that attendance at Mass was
highly commenable, but that neither God
nor the Church required the observance Of
religious ceremonies at the expense of fam
lily duties, comfort and happiness. "Hs
that will not provide for his own household
is worse than heather" How much bet
ter than heather was BRowN?
