eTThe vssthsr yesterday was spring like
and quite ohsrming over head ,-thAs damp
time having been postponed for avhils. Bat
the ssfssts and walks wore perfectly awful
for pedestrians. The mud aboundsd, and
was very thin and Very sploshy.
PERSONAL. - The gentleman who has
"called something less than 1000 times, !" and
left note on our desk yesterday, forgot 70
sign his name, and for the life Of a. We
can't make ont bic 6st. We will be most
happy to relieve his distress, II he viii only
make himself known.
x. 1.-The notice Of this association viii

III Brsrxxss AoAm.-Ths adver tissmsnt Of
s. Z. Carey shows that our old friend is again
in business. His object nov i to furnish
ssthe million" with the swestnsrs and nscss-
saries Of life, and We wish him oil the sue
cess be could reasonably desire.
SHoorrso. are requested to state that
r. Marcy has removed his Shooting Gal
lsry to the room two doors above the Billings
House. whore thsre i plenty Of day light
and plenty Of gas-light, and whore also the
art Of shooting can be learned 70 perfection.
FLAKED or AoAIs.--Is our friend Strpe
indignant We really meant no offence by
alluding to s'that conservatory" and we
don't think the allusion justified him in sup
posing that the world "and tho balance OF
mankind" felt any particular interss. in tho
details Of bis domestic life. But ~ he has
condescended TO show us his inner life, We
would respectfully suggest that he made an
important omission. He did not toll Us how
many children be had, and what portion were
boys and what girls. Moreover, while apfa-
rently lamenting the good times past, he did
not mention how it happens that he 10 able
10 sport three clean shirts and three collars
per week. We submit that that borders on
the extravagant. We know that shsre are
many, who have sssn better days, and who
know how TO appreciate clean linen, that can
with difficulty comfort themselves with tro
per week, and ws suspect there are many
more who rejoice in only ons collar and
nary shirt.
Better stick TO the conservatory, the baro-
meter. the thermometsr and the bulbs, friend
Stripe. What offence VS. there In abiding
to the conservatory? The public have oome
TO expect us-Ssrips and the Local--to keep
it posted on tho weather, past, present and
future. And whom We fail, they naturally
wish TO know the reason. Hence the allu-
sion to the conservatory in the 6rst Place
Did not that account for our apparent ne
gleet, ~ we'll - help to show the intensity
Of cold7 And il not conservatory quasi
public affair." Does not the nation appro-
pirate many thousands Of dollars for tho
Presidsnt's oonservatory2
In conclusion, We would exhort friend
Strips in 10 eloquent words Of Lord Ken.
