ing around in your thickest oyercoat, That
the man who originated such satirical
joke as that Of calling March a spring
month, ought to have been strangled in his
cradle before ever he grew up and dis
graced his respectable grandparents by thus
openly and shamcfullv making fun, not
only of bis fellow beings, but of the laws
of nature; 1t does to us, aud If VIC were
"Old Probabilities" or the Ayers almanac |
man OF any other great meteorological po-
tentate chats n good phrase We would |
heap lnfamy on that man, dead or alive, !
and depart from the path Of deception |
which he laid out Some people, Ia con-
sequence Of his fooling, are led to leave off
their heavy top coats and try to frisk
around in spring attire, the result of which
silly effort is that they are continually dane
ing from one side to the other of the walk
and trying to change for temporary relief
those portions of their unhappy bodies
which are exposed to the gentle zephyrs
that much do visit us from off the lovely
lake. When we meet them they squirm
around against a building thrust their
hands in their pockets and pleasantly
calculate, "B-b-b-eauliful d-d-day," while
profanity struggles in their hearts and tears
of discomfort freeze on their cheeks
NEW THINGS.
There are two new things in town. The
first is a 90 cent store opened a few days
since in a portion of j. S. Watson's
merchant tailoring establishment, by parties
from Athol, Mass. We have casually
inspected the stock there displayed and
doat see anything to prevent person
from gratifying the most gnawing desires
of his or her heart, if he or she has the
requisite 90 cents. The gnawing desires OF
our heart renamed unsatisfed as yet, by
reason of the pecuniary complications above
hinted at. But you can get anything there,
from very small but very elegant pipe or
piece of jewelry to an enormous-immense
--huge-well, we've forgotten the name of
that biggest article but it don't make any
difference-you can get it the:e.-lf you
have the 90 cents.
poDGEEs GOES TO SEE MARTIN, THE WIZ
ARD.
The other new thing is Prot. Martin, the
wizard, and his troupe, who gives an ex-
hbiton every evening this week and dis
tributes an hundred valuable and useful
presents among the audience nightly. Our
good friend Mr.. Podgers attended last
evening, and it was our esteemed privilege
to meet and walk short distance with him
on his homeward way. Mr.. Podgers was
: in possession at the time of large, bright
tin dustpan, of unique design and skilled
workmanship, which he exhibited to US
with parlonabc pride as the article which
the ticket he was so fortunate as to hold
"drawed.' The good man was innocently
gloating oyer the pleasant surprise h'
would give Mrs. Podgers by presenting i
to her, both because he thought she woul(
be pleased with it and because 1t would b
Il substantial refutation Of some remark
she had made when he announced his in
tention of going, to the effect that il WA

BOOK SALE.
There is another new thing, which ,
almost forgot to mention, viz: pIiva
and auction sale of books, day and evcnin
in the Adce,tlser block, where are dspens
for a reasonable consideration very go
sets of standard authors and mscellaneo
hooks in large variety, Our aesthetic
joyment of these novelties is maired
= The fact that they are all governed
