1.-THE Boston Heraad's Police Court
reporter thus notices the first advent of
jack Frost for the season
Last night, while people slept and
dreamed, and not even horse car was
heard rafting in the stormy street, Jack
Frost mounted Old Boreas's back and
sped around all the hous IS, printing every
window with beautiful pictures, and such
announcements as these -. Frost re-
turns his thanks to his friends for their
patronage the past seasons, and announces
himself prepared to open the campaign of
1861 this morning. All abc-bode1
boys and girls are respectfully invited to
Join in the invigorating amusement. j.
FRosr.' Now this was very kind AMI
generous in J. Frost to 60 to such an ex-
pensc to prepare public skating ground
but there are suspicious that j. Frost is
not just what he ought to be, after all
1t won't do to leave cellar windows open
when he is around, the vandal, for he
crecps in and makes sad havoc with ap-
pies, vegetables ard things. If he is so
benevolent as he pretenIs, why does he
tweak the noses of those who have to
stay out o winter nights? Why does he
90 up aud pinch the bodies of the scantily
clothed, and make poverty more bitter and
reward prosperity as if it were virtue? ?
Look out for him, keep your eye peeled,
don't let him obtain my advantage over
you but in the meantime, you can get
any good skating out of him, do it by all
means.

ARREST OF FAIR SMUGGLERs-On Fri
day last the Provost Marshal of Cairo
had in custody several ladies, some OF
responsibility, suspected of being engag-
ed in smuggling goods across the lines
to the rebels. They were subjected to a
search by a laoy engaged for that pur-
pose. Some startling developments were
made. One had one bolt of the finest
linen adjusted to her, answering the pur-
pose Of hustle, the corset was filled
with gold coin, quilted il, to the amount
Of Sl200. Another had her form well
rounded out with padding made of the
best dress silks, worth five dollars and
upwards per yard. Her hose was found
to conceal a quantity of mems cravats,
= hich were swathed carefully about her
delicate limbs. The third lady's ample
hoops were found to cover anumber of
yards of broadcloth. Her bust was filled
out by numerous articles consisting G
mainly of Jewelry, silk thread, needles
and medicines. These fair smugglcrs
were detained for trial.
