A Scotch cobbler, described briefly as
a notorious offender has passed his life
in a certain village without being con
verified. The other day a Forfar magis-
trate sentenced him to a fine of half a
a crown or twenty-four hours

he would be taken to the Jail at Perth.

SOME Eastern c~asuists oppose the
present practice of holding Thanksgiv-
ing day late in November, when the
weather is usually cold and gloomy, and
they desire that the day should be chang
ed TO October, or to some other month
when, as a rule, the weather is favorable.
The motion is Al absurd one. Thanks
giving is made a more delightful holiday
from the fact that it is naturally spent
within doors, before glowing fires, and
when the blazing light from the domestic
hearth makes pleasant pictures on the
walls. The only outdoor amusement for
the Thanksgiving season is skating, and
the weather should be such as to furnish
ice for the purpose.
