CoLD.-The Oldest probability in town
SAYS the weather is as cold as bricks. A
tight colored brother who went to his roost
singing from Greenland's icy mountains,
awoke next morning and believed he was
there for sure There is no doubt about the
genuineness of this cold snap.
DICKENS BEST TEoUaHrs.-We are
pleased to acknowledge receipt of No. s, the
last number of the Cyclopedia Of the Best
Thoughts of Charles Dickens, from the pub
fishing house OF E. J. Hale & Co., New
York. When bound it will make not only q
beautiful but valuable additionto the library.

do so at once.
SNow-A lovely fall of snow carpeted this
County on Tuesday night last, and during
the whole of Wednesday and portion o;
Thursday, lay white and dry upon the ground
so cold was the weather. A slight thaw on
Thursday afternoon put it in melting con
dition. In conseo uence of the extreme cold
there was no 'balling that we saw. This is
the first snow of the season, and a pretty good
beginning.

BENEFIT OF ADvERT1sING.-On Satur
day last we lost valuable pair of eye-gass
es, and determined forthwith to advertise
when 10! at once they were forthcoming
There was virtue in the very thought Of do
ing so.
On the other hand, q few weeks ago 6
much priced duck, beautifully mot.led ol
brownish speckled thing, strayed from on
our gate. 1t was the only one we had O.
that species. 1t has not been seen since
and why? because we did not advertise. Nc
longer will we hesitate. If that duck has
not yet been served rp on somebody's table
we will give very liberal reward for it
Christmas is coming, do bring it in.
