tho worst temper you ever observed,
until the next train pulls out.

QUITE, whose extensive dry goods store

pleasure to meet, and a merchant with
whom it is profitable to deal.
Five tramps put in an appear.
ance in town on Saturday evening
last. This is rather rough weather to
be on the roads. We see by our city
exchanges that the number of tramps
is daily diminishing, whether by death
OF industry doth not appear.
j. t. Brennan, Esq, orders a car
load or two Of coal every once in a
while, and our coal consumers will

extra fall of snow. We have already

when he gets started, almost always
overdoes the matter. Web. Clark re-
ports three feet of snow on level in

Another "upset" occurred on Sat.
urday evening last, and good sleigh
was badly demoralized. NJ parties
report that one of the lines broke, and
the horse ran away, and nobody was to
blame. There's comforting thought

are not able to hire horse and sleigh
are not in danger of having a broken
vehicle to pay for.

named James Sampsell, while coasting
