FROM CAREY
TEE WEATHER.

February and the sun shines as though
it were the 22d of April instead. Did
you ever in all your past experience
know more sudden and great changes
than these we haye had during the past
few weeks? From the mildness of to-
day we are almost persuaded that the
earth, following the example of the
weather has suddenly changed her
course from west to east and that we are
rapidly nearing tropic sun; Tomorrow
we are as fully convinced that whale oil.
furs and buffalo robes with sledges drawn
by reindeer, would constitute our most
suitable food, clothing and travelling
equipage. But this condition of things
will all "blow over in due time and
our rough season will be in measure
forgotten.
TIE TIMES.
Business is dull, roads are bad, money
is scarce, and you may possibly think
that we feel as though we have lost all
four friends. But, 40 sir. we don't feel
in any such way. We Careyitcs have
some money lett, and you know that a
little secures few friends at least.
Have money? OF course we have money.
How else could we pay Tor Il course of
chronological Lectures that lasted ne.lr-
ly il week 1t is true that the lecturer
could have given lis as reliable informal
tion especting ourselves had he lelt the
bumps on our heels instead of the bumps
on our heads; but this, Mr.. Editor, is not
the style here. and we prefer having
genuine head tights manufactured from
chronological moonshine in order to as
certain from our charts what great SIM
pietonS we really are. Have money?
Ufcourse we have! How else could we
take Il hand' with pack of Negro
gamblers in order to draw Il set of furni-
ture by lottery? Did you say that we
didn't do any such thing. tell you we
did sir. We paid those genuine black
legs money enough to induce them to
return and try their luck Il second time
But upon reflection We concluded that
we might spoil the fellows, and there
fore withheld our patronage the second
night. 1t is after we have INDUCED in
these luXuries, paid our enormous taxes,
and having our ministers and debts yet
to pay, that we find an oppressive scare
lty of money.
CAREY LITERARY.
Our Literary Society, which meets
weekly at the school rooms, differs some
what from the Upper SanduSky Society,
inasmuch as the latter cordially invites
the attendance of your citizens through
the county papers, While ours as bitterly
opposes the attendance of all who de-
cline taking part in the exercises.
Even parents, who attend the second
time to witness the attainments of their
children. are politely informed that their
room is more acceptable than their pres
ence. In our endeavOrs to avoid imtru-
! sion on the part of those who are quite
| unworthy, ana who would attend only
| to injure or destroy the society, we seem
to have taken the opposite extreme by
Withholding q welcome to those who
would aid and encourage us. Vet our
society is really meritorious, and if we
can but appropriate to it the encourage
mcnt it deserves it will become second
only to our churches in its influence fol-
good.
SOAR.
We have tried Walkers Anti-Wash-
board Soap, which is advertised in the
REPUBLICAN,, and find that it does al
that the manufacturers claim. A dime:
worth of soap is sufficient tor large
washing and will save fifty cents worth
of labor. Were we limited to the use o.
a washing machine or this soap we
would say "You may have Doty, ant
we'll take the SOAP

band died last Friday, is entitled to
