WEATHER for the past few days has been
cheering in its effects. 1t has completely I'M
seated winter, who has they say, been ling
ering in the lap Of spring" In short it Is
brilliant, balmy and bully. Children run in
their bare feet the boys with pants rolled up
very high, and the little girls in proportion.
At night weary mankind is transported to the
regions of dreams to the music Of the water
frogs in connection with that Of their country
cousins among the trees on the distant prai-
ries. Which is great relief. Mosquitoes
are accommodating in numbers "too numerous
to MENTION" and some Of which are as large
as the Manassas ram, and twice as dangerous
! And just after the warm showers, cat fish just
more than bite. Young fellers and misses
walk out by moonlight alone, frequently

How bully ARE ALL THINGS IN NATURE,
The face Of mother earth, inclusive OF the
pavements and side walks in this city, begins
TO look as if she had had bad attack of very
large small pox, as the pits are numerous and
frightful. Loose bricks and boards are plen-
tier than hard times and an old Dutch farm
err remarked 'tother day. that one shouldn't
be planned for kicking against de pricks,' in
dis town. We suggest that the sidewalks
be mac1damized, for surely the middle Of the
streets is the safest and easiest place to walk.
Unless crinoline will be extremely taxed 10y
