We've had little touch of winter, just enough to let the people know what to expect when the old frost king settles down to ear nest business. The mercury has been down to 1Oo above zero, and we've had "blue- jay" snow, and now one can hear the melo- dious ring of the coal shovel in all parts of the village. The women also have put on these wob-sided, polyuorphic felt and plush hats which make the beholder think of 'Green- lands icy mountains" Another sure indica- tion that winter is upon us is the shrilly re- peated command that greets ones ears, go where he will. of ''Shut that door [" s'Shut that door Can't you hear anything!" Also we've seen several loads of tobacco en route for New Milford, besides several pitiable objects in back woodsheds splitting kindlings. This latter is one of the most heartrending scenes of the winter time. It's "winter's tale" too melancholy to be told. 'sThe man hath on him such countenance as he had lost some province and a region, loved as he loves him. self even now met him with customary compliment, when he, waiting his eyes to the contrary, and falling lip of much contempt, speeds from me, and 80 leaves" The man wasn't so blame.
