have change of time on the railroad,
commencing last Sunday, but as we
have received no notice to that effect,
aud the trains seem to be running as
usual, we guess the change was not
made.
We have had a slight taste Of
winter-snow, frost, slush ice, bad
colds and all the premonitory symp.

the banks about Newmanville and
Lickingville still keeps up to about Is

shipped in by car now about as cheap
as it can be purchased at home.
