Mn EDITon :--You may observe by the dato
Of this epis,le, and the date of the Sentinel, as
well as by various and sundry little bills that
may have been presented for your perusa, aud
OF various other little bills that you could
have or should have presented to Others for
their pcrusal Of your i,aper, us well us by the
almanac, that il is now the month of March
cite these accumualive proofs, lest some
skepical person may have taken n notion in
his head to guess at the month by the weather,
and thus set back a few February hung on
as long as it could; indeed, gave us one more
day than is in is usual contract, yet it seems
that it did not get through, and having left
its unfinished business over for March 10 com
plete, the latter month has somewhat mistaken
either what it had to do or who il was depu-
ted it, for il has been giving US Januarys
back numbers
Blubber has been very much exercised 10
reported in the last letter, could, under any
circumstances require 10 be kept secret, or
how Gen. Gran. should be offended. Badger
explained, that anything like whisky or
pups that were lying around loose, we're GER
tainly regarded by the President Of tho T. S.
as his just dues" (Bibber said, Of course they
were, and that he wouldn't care IL he was
President Of the Z. S. himself with such fash
ions prevalent, though he didn't want any
pups much, but supposed he could trade them
off for more wbskcy,"j ''and as for the Jews
harps," Badger continued, 'lhey will be very
acceptable to Ulysses now, too, for he is learn
ing 10 play on that instrument in order to re-
concilo the children Of Israel to him, and cause
them 10 forget his Hebrew Exclusion order, in
their admiration Of bis passion for their ma
tional music and national instrument"
Badger is suspected Of leaning to the re-
form movement, everywhere except here,)
and is perhaps prejudiced against U. s. G.
We are rejoicing in the establishment of a
Store in the West End. This convenience we
have long done without, but Mr.. Nicholson
has removed his place Of business from Old
Town 10 Inc West End, and the deDzens of
that part have no longer 10 go through many
drcary squares OF ill-payed and worse lighted
streets TO get their supplies--solid and fluid.
Our various business has been going on the
same as eyer-no changes or remarkable trans
actions to report. Our Railroads are in one
ration, have been for some time, and have
done as much business as could be expected.
True, there are some minor things yet 10 do.
such as laying ties and tracks, and putting the
cars to running, but we have not felt the need
OF these things, for the number Of persons kill.
ed aud wounded along the line, is nearly or
quite AS great, as that Of any road Of the same
length that has cars running.
Quite gloom has been thrown over Med
ley District, by the death Of Mr. Metzear.
formerly a citizen Of Poolesvlle lie was kill
ed 10 getting OF the Express train above Point
OF Rocks. on Monday or Tuesday morning of
last week. lie was highly esteemed by all
who knew him, and bis sudden death has
shocked the entire community

suburban districts, and detail them for the ben
