point, as December last, during the first SHOWS,
you were told about the commerce OF our place
and about the girls and boys snow-balling But
since that time, everything has been silent, and
If am rightly informed as TO your correspon-
dent, do not blame him for his long silence, as
he now has thing else 10 do and think about.
For like the Eriunate or unfortunate, ere the
coming of Christmas, he took unto himself an-
other rib as the BEACON told u.s. Our young
friend, though very handsome, always expressed
his fondnrss for children which he has eyinced
by his occupation for several years back, and
lastly begins the matrimonial world with
happy promised future Of only eight" | I'M
derst,nd one of the seniors does not like his pap
thinks him not handsome enough for his fue-
looking ma.
The weather is now getting mild, and we hope
to hear TIE giant whistle Of the steamer coon
putting at our wharves, as we h,vS not heard
whistle since December last, except when the
wind was fair, we would hear the whoop Of the
war-horse at Cox 'sor pope's Creek station We
are consoed at this writing with the promise Of
hearing il nearer by-and-bye and hope even
