fit of the band, was given at the town hall,
on Thursday and Friday evenings OF last
week and also Wednesday evening of this
week.
The friends of s. j. Smith met at his
residence on Tuesday evening of last week
to celebrate the twentieth anniversary OF
his wedding day
Mr.. Ellcry G. Tennys singing school IS
expected to close on Saturday evening OF
this week.
The union prayer meetings held each
Wednesday evening at the school house in
district No. 8. under the direction of Rev.
T.. j. Ward, have thus far been largely at
tended and good deal of interest mani
tested.
+. II. Phelps lost valuable horse few
days since.
An agent Of THE GLOBE presented him
self among us a short time since, and in
few DAYS increased the subscription list of
the paper from eight to nearly thirty, and
this without great effort.
Our Baptist friends still remain without
pastor. Rev. Mr. Wilbur of Saxton's
River, has supplied their desk for the past
few Sabbaths.
During the latter part of last week win
ter seemed to have again set In in earnest,
the snow falling to the depth of ten inches
on Friday, followed by hard blow and
extremely cold weather on Saturday.
On Monday night of this week the snow
fell to the depth of Is inches, followed by |
rain on Tuesday J. H.r.
MOUNT HOLLY.
AS one after another Of the winter |
months slipped away and no thaw worthy |
Of Mount Holly made its appearance, we
were more and more filled with amaze
ment, and began to think our town was
losing it's prestige. But the first two days
of spring have redeemed the reputation go
nearly lost by the winters mldness, by
bringing us good old-fashioned snow and
blow March came in like lamb, but if
the storm of Monday night was precursor
of its ending, we have no hesitation in say
ing that that will be decidedly leonlne.
On reading the Moupt Holly items last
week we felt very much like making our
little bow and retiring from reportOrlal du-
ties But Justice to Uncle Jonah, and to
ourself, demands one more attempt in that
line, that the public may not think we have
taken upon our shoulders the responsibility
of consgning an honest soul to residence
in purgatoiy. BY reading inferior for SUI
peror in the item in question we shall be
absolved from any such intention. We
have but one sort of consolation for this
sort of annoyance, and that is--companions
in misery John Paul says the Tribune
printers served him the same way, and he
has no doubt "Shakespeare often tore his
| hair from the same cause" and so we will
try and be patient. There is also another
, little discrepancy, not due 10 the printer,
which We will here correct. Uncle Jonah
denies the soft impeachment Of lifetime
of osculatory abstinence, and says he has
: kissed more girls than your correspondent
, ever did, which only leads Us to believe
our former statement was not so far out OF
the way, after all. The adjective more is
about sll that saves him. We supposed
our information was trustworthy, and not
being so, we beg all sorts of pardon, and
cannot blame our venerable friend for his
righteous indignation.
There is comparatively little sickness in
this vicinity at present, though We should
: | expect it to be otherwise with such vacillat-
ing weather.
Potatoes are being shipped from this sta
-, ton in quite large quantities at 25 cents
u per bushel. Rather hard on the farmers
i who stored them last fall expecting to get
f 70 cents this spring.
: There are number of parties in town
4 making calculations to attend the ''show''
at Philadelphia next summer Due notice
y will be given of their departure. ~
MIDDLETowN SPRINGS.
o The snow storm of Friday furnished us
e with very good sleighing, and fine winIry
IS weather. Sunday morning the thermom-
- etcr WAS 10 degrees below zero. Monday
night after observing some weather signals
slight storm developed into an eastern
st tornado, and continued 20 increase in fury
m until Tuesday near midday, when cain.
ness reigned supreme, and one was en-
y abled to discern the damage by drifts
e, blockades and general disturbance to prop
le erty, etc. The impression was. that the
combined elements of March had been Wig
>, orously aroused, and rushed to the rescue
IL of the storm king. We hear of barns ant
rs sheds being blown over, and conclude the
A. end of March began in season to fully carry
H. out the old proverb Of coming in Ike
lamb.
' Tuesday evening feebly endeavored t.
t. amend the sad havoc on the sleighing b.,
