A NUIsANoE.-Last winter we had frequent
occasion to complain OF the wreLched state in
which the pRvementsi in front OF the State House
and Post Ofhce were permitted to remain by the
persons who should have kept them in order
There was scarcely day through the freezing
weather when the sidewalks were not encum-
bered with coating OF ice, whereby the COM
fort and safety OF pedestrians were both sadly
interfered with. This morning we noticed that
the sidewalk in front of portion of the State
House was already covered with ice. We wish
TO enter our protest against this nuisance at the
very outset OF the cold weather, and we hope
that somebody will attem pt 10 remedy it.

dist Church, against which the old farmer
was somewhat prejudiced. The young min

Accordingly, he visited the church on Sun
day night and seated himself, unobeerved,
among the congregation. 4
Soon after taking his seat, the minister,
who was preaching from Daniel, ". IS, re-
peated in q loud voice the words of his text,
: Meme, meme, tekel upharsin," !" upon which
the old farmer sprang to his feet, seized the
