man in town on Friday. His

pounds respectively. Enough to
make any one happy, provided
they do not come too often.
1.-The snow, the snow, the beau
tiful snow" came to see us yester-
day in small quantities. Those of
our citizens who had failed to lay
in a supply of wood, thinking the
fine weather of the past month was
going to continue, wore long faces.
Some of our gay and festive
youths endeavored to test the diff
ferent samples of egg-nog that was
dished out SO lavishly on Christmas
Day. Nearly or quite every saloon
in town had egg-nog; some were
hot, others cold; some contained
brandy, others whisky. while GER
tain mixologists used both, with a
dash Of rum. Yet. strange to say,
there were few swelled heads to be
seen in town yesterday.
CHRISTMAS PRESENTS.-L. Gold
stone had his delivery wagons out
the day before Christmas distribut-
ing presents to his many custom

ed with frosting, in the center of
which was the greeting, Merry
Christmas" We wish the gener-
Gus donor many returns of the
happy day.
