 MIR. EDITOR Stern Winter, thou hast come, but cans't not take from us, our ge- nial spirit, or our social love. We doubt if the inhabitants of any neighboring town can boast of extracting more innocent, or rational enjoyment from. social intercourse with each other, than can the inhabitants of our staid town.a Our social gatherings as usual during the winter months, have been frequent, and Feb. fifth, MT. and Mrs. Calvin Futile celebrated the twenty-fift, of their married life. It came in as pleasing episode. to give variety to our gatherings, and was an occasion of un- usual interest in the history of the family, and one of rare occurrence in the history of any family. The farm now owned by Mr. Futile has been in the possession of the family for more than a century When MT: Futile was a small boy he went to live with his maiden aunt, Miss Huldah Futile.
