TO DELINQUENT SUBSCRIBERS.

There is a large number Of sub
scribcrs upon our books who have
not paid for their papers. The time
has come when we need these sub

the current expenses Of our bust
ness. We have waited patiently
and quietly, believing that our sub
scribers would come to our rescue
whenever we called upon them ur-
gently. Hereafter a CROSS MARX

they arc indebted to US and that we

last Monday, mads it slippery sliding

a slip between the cautious feet and
the ice clad ground. Some of our

to be commiserated than laughed at,
but the abruptness lent a ludri-
crousness to the scene that would

Passing Brilliantly Through Space and

On the night of the 9TH inst, at
about half past eight o'clock a brill

the heavens, lighting the entire field
of view with its luminous train !;
finally it shifted Itself out in the dark
void leaving slowly disappearing
phosphorescence, followed by some
loud detonations, resulting in the
shaking of houses with the force of
an earthquake. 1t passed about
twenty degrees from the zenith in a
course from North east to south west
extending over some forty degrees
and was visible about thirty seconds.
These phenomena have been re
marked in all ages Virgil, the lat
