received injuries by ice falling upon their
limbs. Our Constable was obliged to use
crutches for several days A number came
near getting bath in the water. Perhaps it
would have been better if little more water
had been used as bath(e) in the mixture SO
often INDUCED in.
Quite number ayailed themselves of the
opportunity afforded for sleighing on Satur-
day and Sunday. A couple of gents seemed
highly delighted and were very merry as they
glided from one end of town to the other,
with bells jingling merrily and voices giving
out chords of music. The snow promises to
make many hearts glad, and to cause many a
fair maiden to smile pleasantly at the Teller I"
with nice horse and sleigh.
"Zeb" seems terribly anxious to know who
Pop may be. lie first throws the burden
upon the Postmaster, and then rests awhile
until he can think of some one else. We ex-
tend our hand of sympathy to him. If he de-
sires TO know who We are, and can give us
sufficient reason for knowing, we will accom-
modate him with a copy of our name and di-

concerning the manner of correspondence.
Avis y sees fit to criticise an item of
''Zeb's" concerning the manner by which
politics is carried on in our township. AL
though 'Zeb Z was truthful in his criticism
upon the matter it would, perhaps, have been
better to have kept it out OF his items. 'Avis "
seems very wild over the Presidential election
of 1876 If he has not learned any better
since that time, all we can say is, we pity
him. Rutherford B. Hayes was honestly
elected and properly placed in the Presiden-
tial chair, and his administration was pure
and noble one, and who dares to refute it?
Let "Avis" look over the records, and if
facts cannot convince him, what can?
The Debating Society NICE ting was not very
well attended last week. The attendance is
gradually growing less, but those who remain
away are deprived of the pleasantness such
meetings afford, especially to persons who de-
sire to learn. The question, Resolved, That
diminishes crime was well dis
cussed. The decision was rendered in favor
of the negative New officers were elected
Tor the ensuing month.
The Temperance Society held its regular
meeting on Friday evening, the 9th ult., in
the Presbyterian Church. Rev. Mr.. Smock,
of Readington, delivered an impressive and
lecture on the subject of tenn
pefance. Music enlivened the meeting and
added greatly to its pleasure. One name was
added to the pledge. The attendance was
fair.
number of ladies, married and single, ae-
with couple of gents, svailed
themselves of the opportunity afforded for
and INDUCED in an old-fashioned
sled ride, last Wednesday evening The
night was beautiful. and judging from the
many hearty and joyful sounds of laughter
they gave forth. they greatly enjoyed them
selves and had pleasant time.
The snow that feli on Saturday, accom-
Trszsrsass ..-ssi s.-ss. many or
the roads in this vicinity impossible, without
the assistance of shovels. The walks were
covered with huge drifts, aud great deal of
muscle and shoseling was necessary Sabbath
morning. Owing 10 this the churches were
not well attended. Monday morning a num-
Der of our young men turned out with large
shoves and the plank walk from the town to
the station was soon cleared of snow. This
seemed to be new undertaking, but it is
earnestly hoped that 1t may be an everlasting
one. There are number OF persons in our
town, owners of property, who neglect to
clear the snow from the walks in front of their
residences, and either wait for some one else
We saw this manifested after the storm of
last Tuesday. We noticed that the snow was
left on the walks in front of few residences
where persons are plenty able and are sufli-
GENTLY strong to clear them These people,
too, arc generally the first ones to complain
of poor walks and unpleasant travelling. The
best and easiest way to tell who are the
LATEST men in any place, is to observe who
allow the snow to remain on their walks.
The Odd Fellows of this place intend hold
ing private oyster supper for those of their
own lodge, Thursday evening of this week.
They intend to have plentiful amount of
oysters for tho occasion. Several of them are
beginning to fast already in order to be pre-
pared for tho feast and to take in lasting
supply.
Another crank heard from by the name
of Majority What will this town and
people come to yet, with such shining and
brilliant lights as Member and Major

ed. Truly, they are great reformers, and no
doubt could do great deal of good in con-
nection with Oscar Wilde and others Of less
note. Majority" with beautiful words and
an aesthetic expression indicates his great
sympathy for Zeb, f." who so weak and yet so
strong has had g some heavy shot thrown at
him, but they fell like snow ball upon a
rock" Think of the expression! Does it
not produce charming effect? We have
studied and have truly endeavored for long
time to discover some suitable comparison for

g Majority, The like u rock upon which a
snow ball has no effect. We had rather in
clined TO use the word "snow as a fitting
for "Zeb,' but we are now of
