We call attention with opening of the
new year, to the advertisement of the old
established house of Geo. Page & Co, to
be found in to-day's paper The reputa-
ton OF this house for everything in their
line is unsurpassed by that of any other,
and they well deserve the confidence be
slowed on them by the people with whom
they have always dealt so fairly.

has been decided as practicable, and before an

Of supply. Great credit is due Prof, Baird for
the zeal and energy he has displayed in stock
ing our river with choice fsh-his efforts so far
having been crowned with success. The Cali

This is the season for renewing the
subscription for papers, and procuring
what books may be needed for reading
and study during the leisure days of win
ter. Every farmers family should have a
good paper and some books. These make
home attractive, and keep the family cir
Gle unbroken in the evenings Then every
one is pleased; the wife is happy to have
her family around her; the father finds the
society of his children as pleasant as that
pf other people, and the children are gra-
to know that their society is sought
pafents. Nothing tends to make
16me more agreeable and united than
Il the children to know that their parents
ARE interested in their society and their
sports. While everything is pleasant with
in, everything without should be made
snug and comfortable. 1t is needless to
enumerate what should be done, but 'what
soever thy hand findest to do, do it with
thy might as well as it can be done.

The Weather.

That hyt shall sic bottle man and beSte,
Fruite and corn shall fayle CRETE won,
And olde folke dyen many on
From present indications, the above,
taken from an ancient writer, is likely to
become painfully true. Since last Friday
morning the weather has been about the
most miserable imaginable. 1t has been
dark, damp and gloomy, day and night,
and drizzle, driZzle all the time. 1t is
the very weather of all other for pneumo
mia, and most trying on elderly people.
We have of late years been so blessed with
beautiful weather all the fall and through
the holidays, that instead of being thank
full for past favors we now are disposed to
grumble and find fault because they are
not continuously bestowed on us. But
apart from this very proper view to take
of the matter, it is not to be denied that
Indictment weather during the holidays is
a very serious affair with many people.
1t is then that our moving is done, tenants
changing farms, sc. To expose women
and children, to say nothing of household
goods, to such weather as we are having
now, is exceedingly dangerous, not to say
highly uncomfortable. To move at any
time i bad enough, but at thisinclement
season it is simply abominable. 1t seems
to US our people might do better than this
with little effort. Why not let the year
terminate on the LIST OF December AS
suredly any man who had industry enough
to make a crop has had energy enough to
have it housed by that time. The moving
could then be done during the good
weather we always have at that period,
and all hands and the cook safely housed
without risk or discomfort before Christ
