THERE'S growing tendency in this age to appropri-

after while to Incorporate them into own thus

Tor the head" is now becoming popalarised in
nection with Mr. spaidngs great headache remedy bat

Word Cephahc Will become as common Electrotype,

BLocKED.-The mercury in the thermom-
eter reached low range on Saturday night,
The anchor ice in the river came to a stand
still some time during the night, so that the
river is now blocked up until the approach

A POOR, miserable inebriate, named
Monahan, was brought up before Justice
Gibbs yesterday morning. He was clothed
in garments large enough for man of dou-
bic his size, and was trembling in every
limb, from the effects of his debauchery.
He earnestly expressed his intention to
reform, and never to taste intoxicating
liquors again, but as he had promised to
quit drinking over and over again, and
never lived up to his word, the Justice
thought it would be an act of mercy to
sentence him to two weeks confinement in
the County Jail, where he would be out of
the way of temptation, aud get the liquor
entirely out OF bis system.

DoN'T BE IN HAsrE.-Persons should not
be in too great haste to cross the river on
the ice. Wait until the ice is sufficiently
strong to prevent the danger of any acct
dents. Better pay toll ever the st. Paul
bridge and be safe, than run the risk of
being ferried over deeper and darker river
by some invisible charon. Don't incur any
risk until the ice is pronounced safe.

PAY Your TAxEs.-Tax-payers should

"Forney's comparison OF himself to

bered that Mazeppa, when lad, was ia.

and independence. He took advantage
of the opportunity Of his position, and
the credulity of his patron, to infiict up

his nfamy, Mazeppa joined his own and
his masters enemies, and rallying band
Of outlaws and thieves, animated BY the
