Again we tender many thanks to those

who have not, will see the propriety Of
doing so soon.
THE WEATHER.-The weather for
the last week has been as changeable
as the hues Of the chameleon. Rain,
then fair weather, then snow aud a
thaw, and a freeze, gave US all sorts OF
weather. On Sunday last We had an
old fashioned snow storm, and that
night and on Monday and Monday
night we experienced the coldest
weather of the season. Gewilikens!
how cold it was! OF course, ice storers
were delighted, and what made others
shiver. proved comfortable to them.
AS we write uesday-everybody Is
busy as bees, gathering the ice crop for
next summers warm weather. Those
who imagined they had monopoly
of the refrigerating substance, have
learned how easily the clerk Of the
weather can knock their calculations
into smithereens. Ice-cool leInouades

CEssNA's Pow-woY.-The radical
meeting on Tuesday night was fizZls
IN the fullest and broadest sense Of the
word. "Our member" made a speech,
and it was the same old Mother Hub

dred times. All the rodomontadeso Of

On the occasion Of Ce>sna's last ha

READING THE DEATH WARRANT.
The death warrants for the liunting-

read to the prisoners. The perpetra-
