ception of the usual concomitants Incl

Of number of widows. not in affluent
circumstances, were made glad by the
reception of turkeys, chickens, groceries,
etc., from one or two of our citizens who
always do this kind of business in such
a quiet manner 'that the left hand
knoweth not what the right doeth."
Numerous presents were given and re.
ceived. creating pleasant feelings at the
reception and giving. A few flakes of
snow fell between eight end nine o'clock
in the morning. barely enough to swear
by. and soon disappeared. The day was
quite cool and somewhat cloudy-just
such day suited for drinking egg nogg;
hence the lack Of the usual amount OF
reading matter this morning.
