Old Winter we trust is reforming
his r,abits. His manners this year have,
Utmost without exception, been extremely
gentle for him and We believe he is in
clined TO abandon the naughty practice of
lingering in the lap Of Spring The
season appears to he a month or so in nd
vance of the Almanac. For two weeks
we have had blue birds robbins and other
unreasonable phenomena.
80. As we feared, the breaking up of
the ice in the river did serious damage to
the temporary Rail Road Bridge. The
southern half was carried away on We'd
nesday night last. The track and timbers
on which it was laid were saved, and the
structure put in running order again early
this week. There has been some incon.
venience arising from the'delay of freight,
but which it is hardly possible can occur
again before the reconstruction of the per-
manent bridge Passengers for few
days have enjoyed (7) carriage ride
through the village.

have been made to run an extra train to
Brandon, and return on Tuesday evening,
to accommodate those WHO wish to attend
Bayard Taylor's lecture.

I've were made happy again the
other day by the reception Of two more of

more mature and is not unknown in the
world Of letters, takes wider range, and
sings Of the world and all therein.
While the minds Of both, show al the
artless innocence Of youth, they carry the
reader forward TO sterner scenes Of active
life and finally, to the bright hope of the
just beyond this world.-May that hap.
Ply home be theirs.
