Ftosr. The weather Oh Saturday last oc>
came uncomfortably cold, and on SUNDAY
morning there was very perccptlble frost.
But little injury was done, however, we are
reioiced to say, and aside from scare farm
ers and gardeners are no worse of. A severe
frost at this advanced stage OF vegetation
would be calamity.
RECKLESS OF CRIMINAL SHoorING.-On
Sunday evening last, soon after the family OF
4 citizen OF this towa had gone to Churcn'
some Of the younger children who had re-
maiucd ut home, with the servant, were
alarmed BY the explosion Of tire-artn, ana
crashing into the house Of 4 rifle ball. Inc
ball penetrated through the blind and douo!e
panc, of glass, aud indeutcd the door at the
fsr,her end of the room. The children had
left the supper table but few moments
lust where the ball came in. To ynothlnG
of the desecration of the Sabbath, this thing
of Careless shooting at all times, within the
corporate limits, should be prohibited.
Since the above was put in type, we learn
that the fears of the family are relieved. Inc
shot was accidental. A gentleman was Shoot
ing a. an offending dog.
ISro ECSTACIEs-An old nursery rhyme
rul,s in this wise, three straws and pie,
will make baby laugh and cry" The poe
knew not what effect Il half dozen little carly
Irish potatoes would have on man who had
outsrown his straw and pic season, or he
might have adIcd-small potatoes, the frs
in season, will Cause Il man to lose his req
son. Last week several individuals were
made suprcmcly jubilant over their mrs.
mess, so much so, that this local felt deeply
concerned about them. Such cxtravagan
boasting and ccstatic rejoicing never was
heard over small potatoes before. Bah
Come over into the locals yard, and see ho"
his garden grows, gentlemen, and then il
YOU feel like making Z fuss over small things
blow away.
