KNOCKED OvER.-A little boy about Ave
years old, was knocked over by . cutter
this afternoon, on Third street, near Perry,
and came very near being run over. Fortu- |
sately the side Of the cutter, in which gen. |
tleman and lady we're seated, struck him
about amdships and he went spinning in
the snow, escaping damage. The little fel- |
low was amusing himself in the snow, and
ran against the cutter in the excitement Of
play.
FaozsS-The cold weather Of last Sun
day night had bad effect on tho potatoes Of
somo Of our farmer friends. We hear from
several sources that hundreds Of bushels Of
potatoes froze that night in cellars that had
heretofore always withstood The effects Of
tho cold. One man had $50 bushels frozen
hard ~ stone. and others had greater or less
er quantities. There will be considerable |
softening in those potato heaps in = few days, |
and the "grunters" will have feast upon
feast.

with and rendered in = manner fully sus-
tanning the reputation Of the Society. The
large and wsll-selected audience showed
their appreciation Of The different perform
ances BY merited applause, and, in several
| instances, insisted on the encore. or these
the favors Of Mr. Harmer, Mrs. Lucy X
Bennett, and Miss Maggie Rowse deserve
special mention, while that Of the organ
performance was very good in ito way. con-
sidering tha reply to an encore BY the boys
A critical review Of the performance is un
necessary, as it would be Of little interest
to those who were in attendance and Of less
