The weather, which was so favor
able TO canal men on Monday, has since
changed, and serious results are now ap
pretended. An immense amount OF
freight is still detained, with but little
prospect of reaching tide water, except
by rail. The board of canal commission.
ers will close the canals on the 9Th of
December, if they are not sooner closed
by ice. They have fixed the period OF
closing some days later than intended,
with the view of making every possible
exertion to get every boat in the canal
through it into the river before the date
so fixed for closing.
IF Mr.. - hadn't been mistaken as
to his power of maintaining his equili-
brium yesterday, in front of Quinn's
block, he wouldn't have received SEN
sation in the back of his head, as If his
Uranium was fractured and broken into
a thousand pieces. His mishap caused
much sport to the bystanders, although
Mr.. - evidently didn t appreciate the
! joke, az his countenance upon rising
bore most perfect resemblance to an
exaggerated washerwomans thumb.
Our readers viii remember that the
Hon. VIM. Parsons, the eloquent Irish
orator, lectures at the Opera House to-
morrow friday evening. Subject,
''Michael Angelo, the child, the artist,
| the hero" Those of our readers who
have listened to this eloquent lecturer

say go by all means and hear him. and
you WON'T regret it.
The crowded depot yesterday gave
token that everybody was going home
to masticate gobbler. Specially and I'M
pleasantly prominent were two aspiring
bull dogs, who deemed life burden un-
less they were to be permitted to inter
view each other on the Cuban question.
Being restrained by ropes, they COM
manded excessive respect in their
gymnastic efforts. AH uncautious move
ment on the part of Mr.. Boobies placed
| that worthy citizen between the two at
an unlucky moment, and the splendid
agility with which he meandered forth
| gave token that Thanksgiving had al
ready begun in his family
Hon. c. W. Willard and family left
Montpelier for Washington on Tuesday.
Mr.. Frank D. Hatfield, an agent of
Messrs. McKeone, Van Haagan & Co.,
soap manufacturers of Philadelphia, is
in town, engaged in furnishing our citi-
zens soap without money and without
! price" We believe he proposes to leave
a cake of their laundry soap at every
house in town. The soap looks well,
and certainly if it was not good, the
house would not take this novel and ex-
pensive way Of introducing it, relying on
future demand for reimbursement.
Those intellectual gladiators of Sar-
atoga Springs, members of the Saratoga
Springs Lyceum, who first did wrestle

The st. Johns Neaos offers the fol-
lowing sound advice make good use
of the sleighing while it lasts. The
roads may continue good all winter, but
then again they may not. If you are a
farmer, turn all the produce you can
into cash. Ready money is what you
and we all need. You need not CON-
plain of prices, because prices are good
as the times go. Sell off, then, all you
can pay your outstanding debts; en-
courage the struggling merchant; buy
of men who advertise, and above all
don't forget the dollar or two you owe

criticised the Rev. w, H. Fl. Marray's
recent lecture in that village on 'Frhe

/ paper a letter, in which he: incidentally
remarks that ''if an EDITOR is a scurrilous
character and. attends 8 lecture, his re-
view of the, lecture will be seurrilous ;
! the criticism of the lecture will be as
