Strayings.
Those finally tinted picturrs SO full
of Imagination, which afford amuse-
ment for many an idle moment and
foundation for thousand vague specu-
lations and wild fancies have passed
away, and that capital painter, Jack
Frost, lays by his palette for another
season. No more pretty little ham
let's, tapering church spires, ancient
castles, or men at arms issuing forth
with plumes and gil tering armor are
now visible on the panes of our bed
room window to amuse while we lie in
bed cold winter mornings, when we
should be up and dressing for bre ak
fast We sigh at their departure, and
in their exodus we rejoice in the advent
of the birds. The frosty curtains no
longer obstruct the view of the river
and the mountains of our native State,
and a glorious view it is. Spring is
here No one of the seasons that come
to rule the varied year, abdictates his
throne more to his subjects joy than
Winter Perehance we look upon
this season of the year too coldly.-
1t certainly has its joys, and when the
cold without is too piercing, can we
not find within the social pipe and the
jovial friend /? Again, there is no more
pleasant way of killing time than
sLEIGHING it. Then, too, the perfect
luxury of lying late in bed, thinking
how cold yon will be when you get
up, and knowing how warm you are
when your head is under cover. But
enough with Winter, for Spring is here,
and the air is pregnant with the per-
feet perfume of a thousand flowers,
leaves, and buds, and then we have
a glorious morning concert, for
Innumberable songsters in the freshening shade
OF new-sprung leaves their modulations mix
Mellihuous
And then to think we have a season
ticket to all these concerts. Concerts
of such music. 1t seems the pure out
pouring of the greatest gratitude to
Him who made the morn so beautiful,
so full of JOY and light. What would
Spring be without the birds? Could
we have a Spring without those pleas
ant little people, the blue bird, martin,
and the wren ? We think not. They
know their company is peculiarly agree
able, for each year they come and oc-
cupy the boxes which were put up for
them, and in which they live rent free );
no, no, for they pay US with their notes.
Now is the time for us to welcome
these harbingers of Spring. We love
the Spring time, but wouldn't give a
snap for it without the birds.

Professor Catteps Lectures.

Professor Catteps Lectures.
Mr.. EDITOR :-Notwi thstanding the
unfavorable condition of the weather
the course of three lectures, delivered
in the Presbyterian church, in this vii
lage, by Prof Cattell, on the Holy
Land, were attended by large audi
ences, and the speaker listened to with
deep and profound interest The
unanimity of public sentiment, in pro-
nouncing these lectures of highly in-
teresting and instructive character, is a
well deserved compliment to the popu
larity and ability of the lecturer. His
polite and alluring manner engaging
the attention and insinuating into the
mind the ideas of things, unclaimed
the attention of the audience for two
hours on each occasion.
The lecturer illustrated his lectures
by numerous maps, diagrams paintings
of oriental costume, and by large
painting of the City of Jerusalem and
its environs, and thus were made the
companions of the speaker, following
his guidance and intellectually travel
ing with him the whole journey thro'-
out the Holy Land.
The chic among the many sacred
places and spots of historical interest,
around which gather so many hallow-
ed associations, and which will forever
live in the memoty of mankind are
principally in and around the Holy
City. The Church of the Holy Sepul-
chre, the tomb VIII ere tradition SAYS

descent from the Cross, to recover
which from the hands of the infidels or
Mahomedans, those Mad Expeditions
distinguished by the name of the Cru
sades, or Holy Wars, were for ages CO.

No christian is permitted to enter it.
We, however, had a near view of it.
Passing along the Via Dolovosa, on
or along which street tradition has
fixed and concentrated all the scenes
connected with the crucifxion, we
leave the city and visit other places of
sacred memory-the Garden Of Geth-
semene, the nsecrated spot of our

near Peggy's Puddle, together with a

load of wood After the wood was
loaded, Mr.. Beavers took his seat upon
the top of the wood for the purpose Of
driving home, but, on descending
steep hill, the wood slid forward, threw
him under the team, and before he
could extricate himself, the whole load
passed over his body. He was taken

obtained, but he was past help. He
lived about eighteen hours, retaining
his senses to the last. Mr. Beavers was

Our Town Election.

But a short time will elapse before
onr citizens will be called upon TO elect
governing officers for the ensuing year.
Heretofore our officers have been Sc
lected from the mass, more on account
of their capabilitv than from any party
principles they might advocate Ex-
nerience has taught us that politics
shnuld be ignored in the selection of
candidates for Office. The voter, by
this means. is free to act out his own
mind, unrestrained by the fears of be-
ing ostracised nv his kindred spirits.
and unencumbered by any debts he
NAV have incurred in political strife.
Who the candidates for the several Of
| fees will he. we know not, but sup
nose all will be known in a few DAYS
No candidate can he elected, we feel
sure, who cannot present himself with
ont blemish. and pure. and in our po-
sition as an independent journalist, we
shall deem it our duty to speak pub
liclv of any candidate whom we think
personally incompetent to be endow-
ed with official powers. We admire
the independence which has character
lied our citizens conduct in the selec-
tion of candidates heretofore, and hone
the same course will be pursued now
We hear the names of w. HI. KEEPER
and s. III. Titus mentioned in connec-
tion with the Mayorality. OF these
gentlemen we haveno particular choice,
both being capable of filling the Of
flee with credit to themselves and hon
or to the town. They are mem
bers of the present Board Of Council
men. and have acquired knowledge
of the dnties pertaining to the Office
of Mayor which viii prove beneficial,
in case of election, in filing that post.
For Constable we hear a number of
names mentioned, some good and some
indifferent. The more prominent are
those of Hull and Paxson. For the
office of Justice of the Peace we hear
lhe names of L. H. Parsons, ESQ.,, 1.-THE
present incumbent) r. Fl. Wilson, and
Gen. A G. Davis. We know not
what turn will take place in affairs when
the time arrives for making up tickets,
and, consequently, make no advances.
| In the Council some change must ne
cessarialy take place, inasmuch as two
of the present members are up for 9TH
| err offices. We hope, in the selection
of candidates for Councimen, care vii
be taken to get those who will and cal
be present at meetings. 1t is rather
too late now to commence with pack
ing primary meetings, or bringing oul
forlorn hopes Unacceptable men can
not be elected, their many words t
the contrary, Notwithstanding. W.
expect to have something to say, wher
it is necessary.
