Addison Sawyer getting hot last
week made considerable trouble all
around. lie did not get his liquor at
the town agency, but another fellow,
David IIosiugton, who had ''rcputa-
ton" for truth and vcracity, it is said,
did; and the story got mixed in telling,
and it was laid to our young friend n.
c. Livingston, of Pomtret, of which
nothing could be farther from the
truth.
G.. S. Marsh, Esq, Of Depere, Wis
is visiting the home of his boyhood,
and looking over the old landmarks Of
the place. He has hosts of old friends,
and is making new ones every day.
We have seen good deal of maple
sugar and syrup, and some that we
thought was excellent, but Edward
Perry of South Woodstock, showed us
specimens this week that takes the
premium for sweetness, whtcness and
purity, Ed. has the latest improved
machinery for sugar making, and he
knows how to use it.
Martin S. Myers, has his new fur
mace of which he is the inventor and
patentee, on exhibition at his tin shop.
1t is simple in construction, efficient in
operation, cheaper than any other
first. class, high-priccd furnace now in
the market, and is, we are sure, des-
tined to take the first place among
"heaters." This one is going into the
Woodstock National Bank.
The daily papers are full of accounts
of disasters by sea and land. Why
only Just think of it, poor colored
man down south the other day, had
his trunk blown into tree top! But
what is all this compared to the meas
ure of grief of South street man who
slipped down recently and broke in
his hip pocket a bottle ofrum that he
had just procured for family use"
The price of white elephant has
gone down. You can get one now for
sl75,000; Barnum paid 100000 for
his, but he has one qualification that
perhaps all white elephants have not
got; that is, he chews tobacco like q
man. If all our subscribers would pay
up, we'd have one.
There begins to be an indefinable
change in the atmosphere which ill.,
duce people to say to each other,
"spring has come" Yes, that is so.
The loafcr sits on the steps and shells
AMI munches peanuts more comfort
tortably than he did a week ago; the
snow-banks are going into insolvency,
the trickling rills in the street grow
smaller and feebler, and the walks are
drying up the man with wheelbarrow

gardner man is surveying his land
preparatory to the "spring campaign"
and heaving the accumulated rubbish
over the garden WALL" as USUAL
The boys have found dry spots on the
sidewalks for playing marbles, and
when the pockets Of the small boy
bulges out with alleys and taws every
body knows it is time for winter to
take back seat. Nature, too, is Civ
ing signs Of spring. There are green
blades Of grass to be found here and
there where the snow has disappeared,
and the pussy willows are out. These
are few of the signs Of spring.
