Winter.-The few mild days which
recently brought the breath of Spring to
the cheek, and smeared all out doors with
a paste of mud, was suddenly succeeded on
Wednesday by a tumble of about forty
degrees in the thermometer, and an eager
nipping blast.
The telegraph reports heavy SHOWS
North and West of us, and the Pacific
Railroad blockaded by drifts, ominous of a
Winter that will "linger in the lap Of
Spring"
A Blowing Up.-By mistake we an
nounced in last weeks issue, that the pro-
posed exhibition, to be given in the Court
House, on Wednesday aud Thursday even
ings next, 21st and 22d inst, would come
off on the above-named evenings of the
present week. The Band, in whose inter-
est the Concert is given, determined to
have sweet revenge for our carelessncss, so
on Monday evening last, after O'Clock,
we became suddenly aware that the front
yard of our humble domicil was filled
with men carrying brass horns, accompa-
MED by torch-bearers, and we were treated
to first-class blowing up. We stepped to
the door to see what was the matter, and
there stood the fourteen linnets in circle,
little John, with the huge horn, near the
steps, and for his ris-aUis the Hercules of
the company, near the gate, tapping the
Changing cymbals. The sons of Apollo
ravished our ears with several of their finest
pieces, for which we extend our heartiest
thanks; and as we are minor on speech,
but major on an excuse, we pleaded bad
cold and slight indisposition for not giving
them display of spread-eagle on the occa-
sion. On next Wednesday and Thursday
evenings, we hope the Court House will be
crowded to its utmost to enjoy the Concert
and the rare sleight-of-hand displays of
Professor Elwood. The proceeds are to be
applied to the purchase of Band wagon,
and Elkton should feel local pride in hav-
ing this fine amateur band well equipped,
and literally patronize their efforts to ele-
yate her musical talent.
