CHRISTMAS CoM1NG.-Already business
places of our town, those at least who are
impeilcd by Christmas to make some display
more than Of an ordinary character, are be-
ginning to fresten up, and their windows pre-
sent very inviting appearance TO the passer-
by. Young America is on the qai uiOe in his
expectations for the crowring event of the
year, and miniature banks begin to feel the
impetus of the season from their daily de-,
posits, subject to this brief season of success,
only to be victims of that financial crisis which
is as sure to befall them as the critical hour
is to come. Everything in fact begins to wear
Christmas look. Old and young feel the
inspirations of the Fear approach of the great,
general holiday, and in every household, from
the cook to the lord and master, preparations
kindred to the occasion, are in joyous and ex-
pectant preparation. Even printers, too, take
stock in the buoyaucey of spirits, and from
his satanic majesty, to the head of the Office,
all expect to partake of dinner something
above ordinary flavor, and enjoy day of un-
disturbed ecreation-provided our poverty
stricken exchequer should be replenished be-
fore that time.

SUPPOSED MAD Doa.-A vicious dog, sup
posed to have been mad, "a large Newfound-

killed in this town on Friday morning last.
Whilst there is no certainty about his being
rabid, yet at the same time it would be we'll
enough for our people to be on the lookout
for others that may have been bitten by him,
and thus guard against any serious consequent
ses from this awful disease, should it really
have made its appearance in our midst.

informed, the infant was frestieg and the
parents, in order to quiet it, poured little
water in laudanum vial from which the
liquid had evaporatod and left the pure sedi-
ment of the opium in the bottom, and after
shaking it up, added some of it to dose of
paregoric and gave it to the child, and in a
short time the babe was corpse. We would
not unwittingly open anew the wounds ia the
hearts of these bereaved young parents, ba.
simply note this sad incident in the hope that
it may deter others from falling into like
error, and thus perhaps save to some house.
