WINTER.
The weather seems quite mild for thi,
season OF the year although il has a wintrv
appearance but winter was upon u in
earnest short time ago. We had high
winds and some snow but no sleighiny
Inc aspect was more like January than
November and Jack Eros. took possession
OF his wintry domains with rs much ease
and grace ~ though he had come IN a
more Timely season aud seemed to think
he had perfect right to make Us ache and
shivcr TO his hearts content Nearly every
town and city around us have an almost
ovcr-aoundanoe ofsnow but We have none.
50 the merry jingle of sleigh bell, which |
so glory in, is not heard in our streets.
Their music is sweet, cheerful and
hoinelike that il is TO be hoped We shall
have our share soon.

TERRIBLE TRAGEDY
deal of excitement has been created
here over brutal murder which was per-
petrated last Friday evening in Dorchester.
The victim was servant girl, twenty-six
years old. Ii brought fresh TO our minds
the horrible murders Of Kate Lehan, Abb.
)ah Ellis, the Ill fated Joyce children. and
the assassination of Mr.. Lane in the door
Of his own house. Not one of the muir
ierers OF the above persons have yet been
brought to justice, and now, so far as we
know. another beastly murderer has made
his escape. An arrest has been made on
suspicion, but it remains to be proved
whether or not, he is the guilty one. At
present, eyerey thing Is shrouded in mys-
cry.
