THg ADVENT OF W1yrER.-Our first snow
appeared cn the morning Of October 3lst
when the mountains where white for q few
hours. On Tuesdsy last We we're treated
to a second visit Of old Hisais in the shape
Of suadry snow-squalls covering the bleak
face Of old mother earth, for a brief space,
with mantle Of pure white. We soon may
look for the stern old veteran TO take up his
residence with Us for the the coming 9 or
months. The youngsters are already on the
lookout for him and viii give him hearty
welcome, despite his pranks Of frequently
pinching ungaarded ears.
CoSscIEScE MoNEy.-The Harrisburg Tel

science money, BY the agent Of the Peuusyl-
vauia Railroad at that place, which the wri-
ter, evidently q woman, had wroBged the

without paying fare. This person must be
credited with having considerable conscience,
but we give the following as an instance we
think, unparalleled in the history Of troubled
conseiences. The letter was received one day
last week. BY Mr.. Mengel, proprietor Of the
AeugeI House, and explains itself
