SPRING.
Some of the church people around
here pretend that they don't believe we
are on familiar terms with OLD Boreas.
Well. that shows how much they know
about such things. We got Boreas to
let up OH them for two weeks till they
got fuel in. But they wouldn't give us
the credit. Then we tipped him the
wink, us we told them we would, and
he went for them. Then we promised
them several weeks ago, that if they
would ''be good,' we would see to it
that a thaw came and that one or two
more blizzards would end it. 1t has
been thawing for five or six days and
there will be about one more GOOD
blizzard and then Boreas has agreed to
pack his trunk and be off to attend to
a campaign up North.
Next time, we guess, they'll mind.
In the list of bills passed by the
house on the 25th Of Felrlary, we
notice this one:

ton.
This, we understand, is the social
ed Temperance amendmant" with a
clause, tclegraphed after the bill was
sent, providing that the amendment
shall not take effect until after the
people have voted on it. This latter
feature we can heartily approve
Tip Clark came through on Mon
day last from st. James and brought
lot of mail matter. Then there was
rush for the postoffice but the key
to the mail bags was locked up in the
safe and the clerk had lost the combi-
nation. Peter Thompson was called
into requisition and finally about half
past eight at night the safe was OPEN
ed. There was some swearing and
overhauling Of the post officers by
people on the outside.
