Nearly all our correspondents are frozen
up; we hope they will thaw out by our next
issue.
Eight-inch ice, the result of .2-hours'
freeze. is something unprecedented in this
section.
II the boys who removed that photo
grapher's sign will call upon H. w. Jackson,
they will learn something to their advantage.
Attention is directed to the prospectus of
the ost-Dispdtch on our first page. 1t is
the brightest and newsiest evening paper in

Mr.. Hancock, the butcher, lost his &C
count-book last Friday, somewhere between

please return it to him or this office.
The ice-man: one short week since, he

The company didn't make mint of money,
but we don't think it went away poorer than
it came.

weather clerk Railways overdoes it,"
Last week we gave the first instalment of
the experience Of veteran in the Mexican
war, which is continued in this issue. The

sun. His recollections are very interesting,
and will no doubt be read with pleasure.

the road, and thereby avert all future danger
of accident to teams and riders. Or do the
"Conscript Fathers" yearn for SlO,0Oo.oO

experienced in this section. About nine
O'CLOCK we made trip around the REGISTER
square, and by the time we reached home
our ears tingled and our nose 1ingied like

The Bishops Chaplains, Revs. Robert and
Sheetz, will give DIR. Foy his final examina-
tious for the Episcopal priesthood on the

an LID, will be remembered as the Christ
ian or Campbellite pastor, who, in the sum-
mer of 1884, left that denomination, and in

The neighborhood at Munger's Mill was
thrilled and startled by the sudden death of
Mrs. Mary Lindson on the 9th inst. She was
on that day in her usual health, standing be-
fore the fire, when she suddenly cried out to
her husband, "Just feel and see how my
heart flutters." He saw that she was about
to fall, and caught her; but before he could
carry her to the bed she died in his arms.

and a very highly esteemed lady. She leaves
an infant four months old, to the care and
consolation Of the bereaved husband, who
has our earnest sympathy.
