an.- The inhabitants Of Eaton
may now look out for the "Morris
Dancers" We have been led to
think that they will perform every
week evening on the floor of the
Register office, and if any dirty and
trashy doggerel lines should be
needed, to add to the weekly mcrri.
ment, they will be printed on the
Lords Day, after dark, perhaps
after class meeting hour. We do
not affirm the truth Of these re-
ports, but as wonders never cease,
on either side Of the Atlantic pool,
we may havea merry winter in the
Abolition sheet office.

NO, The EATON REGISTER IN Dis
TREss.-The Editors of the Eaton
Abolition sheet continue TO pub
fish their so-called newspaper, but
their loud and long cry Of distress
leads us to think that a winter
cough, of a threatening nature, has
attacked the poor Register, and If
the subscribers who have read it
for five years, but have not paid,
DO not come to the rescue, the smut
sheet must perish.

RS" Until this week we have not
had an opportunity Of admirine
the aesthetics Of butter-making in
America, but we were pleased to
find, on the reception of a bird
most t~astcfully modelled in butter,
by the dainty fingers of Miss Flora
Dunlap, that the Fine Arts have
their worshippers even in the far
West. We are indebted also to
a, Dunlap, Esq, for the largest
beet we ever saw, which weighed
II lbs. Who can beat that?

gotten that they are going on for
