Hiram AbiG.
We have heard considerably Of this old
chap, but never made his acquaintance. We
have the pleasure however, of knowing
HIRAM TAYLOR, Esq, Of GAINESVILLE, and in
comparison with him, Abiff wasn't any
where. Mr.. Taylor is the proprietor Of the
largest and most beautiful gardens in Wis
consin; his taste as horticulturalist is
commended by all who have seen the hun
dreds and thousands Of rare plants and
flowers, both native and exotic, with which
his premises abound. Well, Taylor is a
friend Of ours, and last week he expressed
to the Times Office, a neat little box contain
ing Fifty varieties of his choicest Flower
Seeds, a bottle of prime Tomato Catsup, a
bottle of Coucumber ditto, pronounced by
our domestic partner the best catsup ever
placed on a table, and last but not least, a
large glass vessel containing that greatest Of
all western Injuries, Pure Currant Wine
These preparations arc all the handiwork Of
Mrs. Taylor and this renders them the more
estimable at our home
May Taylor and his ainiable lady live to
have our great grand children thank them
for this kind remembrance.

Hurrah.
On Monday last our streets were cnliven-
ed by the arrival of two large sleigh loads
Of Goods last, best gift to man. from the
village of Elkader; each drawn by four
horses and managed by male driver
That the sleighs werelafge may be inferred
from the fact that in one of them were ten
and in the other nine ladies Of the regular
crinolinc dimensions known to fashion,
They stopped at the McGrcgor House, and
Durham chow We cnvied him, had the hap
piness Of assisting every angel Of the nine
teen out of the sleighs. Who wouldn't be
landlord? After partaking of dinner of
oysters (and champagne for all VIC know
ordered and paid for by Mrs. Davis, Cap
tain of the Elkader Leap Year Company,
they made calls at the stores, bought Ellis
worth half out, ordered their teams and
gingled off with their sleigh-bell music as
lively as if they did not care sou markee
whether there were any men in the world
or not. Their visit quite astonished our
little city. Our gallant gentlemen extend
ed an invitation for them to remain over
night and do US the honor to join in dance
at Mozart Hall, but the kind hearted cree
lures thought Of their poor unhappy hus-
bands on the Turkey, and no power less
than that which tempted Eve could have
induced them to remain.
Nine cheers and tiger for the spirited
ladies Of Elkader! What other village
dare initiate their example.

not prepare his articles with sufficient care

rect good deal and sometimes re-copy SO

weather, Markets, &c.
The weather has been very pleasant, but
the snow is not sufficient for good sleighing.
Now, Tuesday afternoon, it is showing spar
ingly from the East, and we all hope the
roads will be fine by another twenty -four
hours.
The week has not been an active business
one, notwithstanding the high prices of pro-
duce. The dizziness may be owing to the
roads, or possibly to the fact that the heavy
deliveries Of the fall have lowered the grana-
ries Of our farmers, and they may anticipate
rise Of grain in the Spring. Pork is near
.ly all in. The ruling prices for several days
have been $4.so@s5.6 o-depcnding on
weights and cleanliness Of dressing; some
hogs are delivered here that the Devil would
be ashamed to 60 into, if the same necessity
drove him as is mentioned in Scripture
poorly fatted, badly killed, and not cleaned
at all; such pork ought not to be bought in
any market. When will people learn that
tidiness in preparing their marketing will
pay them 25 per cent.
Corn 35@42, in the cob, and sheled; oats,
so@s2; wheat, 9l@9a was paid yesterday.
Some excitement prevails in the Chicago and
Milwaukee grain markets; wheat advanced
two cents on Saturday last at Chicago, but
at its advance less than 81 was paid, and
here the prices are within 2 cents of their
figures. It is wonder to many what keeps
up the wheat panic West; the N. Y. price
of Mil. Club, on the 9TH, was $1.25. At
Chicago Jan'y 18th, corn was 4s; oats, IS !;
wheat, No. 2, 9s; pork, s5.25@6. Furs,
at Milwaukee, Jan'y 18th, Mink, $l.5o@2;

Err0tums
Mr.. Editor:-Tn my Thanksgiving letter,
published a short time since, which was
written in great haste, made mis-quota-
ton. Temporal morantur ct nos moramur
should read Temporal mutantur ct nos mu-
tamur. How the blundcr, patent as it was,
passed my notice, I do not know-should
probably have observed it had I copied the
article. Every one who knows anything
about Latin, knows, or should know, the
difference between nutare, to change, and
morari, to lingcr. So we will understand
that 1.-THE times arc changed and we arc
changed" instead Of "Thc times linger and
we linger."
BY the way, Col, who is this ~ B." that
Gimcrack refers to in the last issue of the
Times. l have failed to sec his signature
or his article-regret it much. If, however,
~. b. said only "Tsmpora morantur ct
nos moramur," G. might have saved "iue
laehryme'' for some more worthy occasion.
The simple assertion that "thc times lingcr''
needn't make him boo-hoo so-its no sign
they have stopped, or are going to; and if
he meant TIE Times-the North Iora Times
If that has fingered, it will probably come
next mail-don't cry about it, G. Maybe,
however, G. didn't look sharp, and thought
~. B. said mOriamur instead of a,orun,ur:
if so, he has probably, before this, found
out the difference between mort and morari.
and so dried up his tears. If we should
think twice before we speak, we ought at
least to think thrice before we weep.

The Railroad. ~ .,..a.f..y.... . ..-......s

its ways on this question and plumply says
it does not believe the doctrine VIC advocate
to be the opinion Of the people of MeGrcg-
or. ,,,,.. p .,..f.. ,.5s ...---..- g -
We can't help the sccpticism of the News
but if its Editors conclude at any time that
they can better represent public opinion or
interest here than we do, they can buy
this Office and teach our people something.
The News talks very much as would .
young man from the cast who is about as
convcrsant with the influence of railroad
building on natural commercial points as
the devil is with holy water. Follow your
own interest, people of Chickasaw and make
your connections where they suit you best,
This is what you will do ultimately and
hence this advice is not worth anything to
you. IcGregor, we repeat will not work
for any Railroad though no one here doubts
that the line west is one of the best in the
United States and that it is sure to be built
in time. When built then look out for the
value Of your Southern CAutes down the
Ceder to get to an eastern market. A line
from this point westward to Sioux City
will play Aaron's rod with all your little
fancy snakes out in that region.
