With the snow foot deep, and the
weather very cold it is considered that
We hive the finest sleighing that has been
enjoyed here for many years, and the new
wear has thus far been made vocal with
the merry Jingle Of the bells. This is
pleasant to thosenwhO can enjoy ii, but to
rho4e who are deprived Of such enjoy
ment, it is almost misery. Bu! charity
bids us do otherwise than complain, and
We are thankful that even the favored
ones can enjoy the sport.
On Monday evening We were permitted
to attend u very enjoyable meeting at the
Disciples, Church. The members OF the
Sunday School assembled Tor their an
nual treat, and right well did the little
ioIks enjoy themselves. Tho exercises
consisted in singing appropriate selec.
tons, short talks by different persons
present, and the distribution OF the
candies and gifts. Avery handsome bible
was presented to Mr.. Harry Whipple by
the school as u testimonial for his services
in drawing the blackboard exercises
during the year past.
In the Odd Fellows Hall was public
installation Of officers, but ~ We we're not
permitted to be present, owing to previ.
Gus engagements, We are not able To say
anything Of the time enjoyed.

Marshall county has now erected
Court House second to none in the State,
aud with good sctt Of officers TO fill il,

amicable settlement Of the Presidential
