might be of some interest to your read
ers, | venture to scribble you a few
lines. TO commence with, that nevel
falling topic, the weather. we woulC
say that Typo has had her full quota

storms in the last week, but at the
time OF this writing the sun is beam
ing on us with a brilliancy that threat
ems to make the snow soon disappear,
and thereby render the heart of the
coal burner and teamster glad in the
hope that they may again pursue their
vocations uninterruptedly. To-day is
as balmy and mild as a May.day, and
makes us all believe that spring is
close at hand. Our late heavy SHOWS
have rendered the burning and hauling

quence of which our furnace has
closed down. About the 10Th inst. the
new Cotton furnace will be completed,
