It looks pleasant TIL Tuesday morning
TO see .sAL." out with the Evans House
s1eigh Bus. The snow is light and the air
frosty but it is not cold. This is the first
day dec. 81 that runners were used for
BUS purposes: runners are used for the
hotels every day in the year......Mr.
Borosius Cambrian Hall Party, will be
held on Christmas night the 25th, and not
on the Oath as previously stated. On
Christmas eue there will be fun alive
among young and old in the Church.
St. Nicholas will visit all of them to see
his good children-the bad ones he does
not notice. The old fellow selects his
stock of presents of Hubbard & Co.,
French & Richmond, Haight, Ryan,
Schultz, Hamlin & Co., and Hopkins
& Co.-Skates he finds at the Hardware
store and other pretty things at various
places in the City. Master 10. kerzman
the little gentleman-and that's what
10. is-has returned from Belgium, where
ho has been at school. Our young friend
did US the favor to call on US several times
but each time we were out Of the Office:
meeting him on the street showed us the
same pleasant, intelligent face which he
wore before he crossed and re crossed the
Atlantic. Let oil encourage the young.
P. F. CRANE, late Of West Union, and
. commonly known as "Pete," has located
Mt Elkader in the Davis House. If he
don't make y landlord what is landlord,
we are no guesser. Peter, visit will be
made you this winter sure-but, no-hold
on There's BIoELow of the Boardman
House If we go to Elkader, where shall
we stop7 Both houses are No. l, and the
host and hostess of each are "beyond
compare" Guess We'll not go at all, tin
some mean man gets possession of one or
the other hotel, and then we could select
the best one, you know. We have it: eat
with one house, sleep with the other, and
zwei glass lager NIT both. Success to all
two of yees......A preacher stopped in the
middle Of long drawn out sentence, and
looked thoughtful--resuming he said: II
have lost track Of the nominatiye to my
verb, but one thing l do know am
bound for the Kingdom of Heaven" That
was true oratory in defiance Of grammar.
...Send for GoDEY for 1869. The January
No. now at hand, is the prettiest article,
except good tempered lady that our eyes
ever beheld. Cooley scolds painted cheeks
in this number Of the Book but he ad-
mts the impossibiity Of reforming WON en-
from what she may desire in the way Of
dress and toilet appearances. We stand
by the ladies in their right of choice. If
they use too much paint, the gentlemen
will not kiss them, and this is revenge
enough!
"Linkensale' delivered his "Four Years
in Washington" to u fine audience at the
'Cambrian on Friday night. Duties of a
character not transferable or av odaLle-
funeral, if you pleasc-prevented our at
, tendance. The lecture is said to be fine
ono and we'll delivered. "Link'' was the
guest of Senator Newell. He took the
Western train on Saturday morning .....
Editor SHANNON, Of the West Union Co.
zette, is retired on account Of ill-heaith.
TALLMApeE is equal to the emergency
and will keep that spirited sheet up to
par, but we sincerely regret the room-con-
fnement of our Celtic friend. If you arc
not re'y sick allow us to suggest that too
much political eool has been a damage to
you...... Blodgett at his Office in McMul-
LENS late Hotel, can show you ISL ghts' if
you call on him. He pe:riGes wood by
chemical process in few days when it
takes Nature, years to do the same thing.
Go and look at his Museum. JEFF. Davis
is virtually discharged on technicality.
Judge Chase deciding that tho l4th
amendment to the Constitution releases
Davis from further legal attack. The
case, as presented at Richmond, Va, was
referred to the Supreme Court at Wash
ington. After paying 100000 to capture
$50 pounds Of foolish flesh in tn" shape
of the ambitious jeff, it seems pity VIC
cant be treated to ga hangin.' Don't you
think SO, Mr.. Radical?
Our John II. A. is still absent Won
der what he is aboutl We dare not say
he is in the marrying business because
that maddens him trife and we don't
believe it too; but why don't he write,
telegraph or come home? That's what's
tho matter. Has he anyriSht to go of
east and leave the senior to bear all the
troubles that attach to a printing Office?
Not much! w. K, G. MEG. and others
will make him "smoke" il he ever re.
tarns. Seriously, We expect our esteemed
partner and highly priced friend to "call''
on us in day or two. He "estrays' &C.
.casionally, but his welcome home is as
cordial in the TINES Office as the visit of
KINDNESS would he at the home of UN:
HAPPINESS. JOHN, come home!
Mrs. Geo. Williams made her husband
happy, the other evening, by showing him
aapledge of love in the shape Of beaut-
full little girl. George is naturally straight
walker-holding his head well-up, but
since this event it looks as if he would be
