pnd furniture amounting to about $4,000, four

Monday morning the boys, and indeed some
older, enjoyed several hours of good skating upon
the neighboring ponds. We have not heard OF
amy accidents, and hope those who have not yet
gotten their Ice putu will take this chance We
learned that it was about three inches thick near
she town and where the ponds were sheltered 1t
was of u greater thickness. 1t is high time we
were securing these comforts at home in place OF
IMPORTING them from the North. Let us see to it.
EsviyAL.-A Revival meeting has been going
on in the Methodist church during the past week,
and will be continued during this week. Welearn,
some seven eight have connected themselves
with the church, and there is a prospect for
larger number. There appears to be a good deal
of interest in the attendance and we think 1t
safe to look forward to much good arising from
the present meetings There can helittle doubt
of the increase in the interest which people
generally show for religious matters of late! 1t
is q good omen for our future prosperity.
~ 1n1 IF Ctoup ON,
have very recently organized and started "Cir-
~ulating Library which will certainly add good
deal, not only to their improvement but also to
their pleasure. We predict for it success, and
hope they may have very many members, as well
as subscribers. We,earn the subscription will
be only two dollars per annum, and strangers Wis
iting the town can secure any volume to read by
paying in advance its value, and when returned,
their money will be refunded with the exception
of ten cents which will be the s'Library Fee
We would call particular attention to the adj
vertisement of Mr.. George c. Jackson, Grocer,
Augusta street. HI has in store large stock of
the most nicely selected groceries we have seen
in this market. Polite and accommodating him
self, and employing most gentlemanly clerk,
and selling his fresh supply of goods on the most
reasonable terms, Mr.. Jackson cannot fail to dc
O most prosperous business.
In this connection we desire TO say that Mr..
J. has a large quantity of pure liquors for me-
dicinal and other purposes, which he will sell as
cheap as they can be had elsewhere. Call on
him at No. 10, opposite Court House.
