To Ue Editor of he NerS:-
 Thanksgiving day with us was un- pleasant and stormy, but so far as hearu from the turkey was enjoyed all the same. The two inches of snow whicl fe on that day was all gone before Sunday and the ground remained bar, u til December ?, when we had another snow storm and the most clustering daJ of the season, which left two or tn 'ee inches of snow on the ground A the roads were smooth this made toler- able sleighing, which has been diligent- ly improved ever since, the weather sunny for the light snow. so to-day a good many wheeled vehicles are mix, d w.Ih the sleighs on our streets.
 Farmers are marketing their surplus pork which is selling at very low prices; Ii ;ht dressed hogs at St per hundred pounds, while heavy pork only brings SI5O per hundred. These prices are very low, and especially so when our Ii sht corn crop Is taken into considera- tion, but the producers loss is the con- sum ITS gam, or should be. Wheat only brings 75 cents bushel, and at this low price 1t Is not brought in very freely, the farmers hoping for better P ices. Wheat and pork are propor- ti ,nately lower than any other of the productions of the farm Corn brings 40 cents, oats 30 cents, and potatoes 10 cents per bushel, but tAe surplus oi wheat is the largest. that being our great staple.

CORN N ALL.

Beautiful sleighing! Although we have no double rippers' the ''single ripper is proving about as dangerous. One day last week while the venerable Col. Pierce was coming up the hill, near the residence of Wm. R. Hindman, he was run into and severely injured by a boy on a sled, who supposed that the roads, the snow and all creation was made for his special benefit and every body else must get out of the way.
 The locating of the county seat is still topic of conversation. Most of the towns have spoken for it, and Cornwall Is not to be behind the rest. Years ago when the question of a county seat was being discussed, Gen. Sedgwick spoke in favor of Cornwall as being the prop, I place for 1t. Some person from the eastern part of the county remarked that 1t would save expense to have 1t located there as it would not be neces- sary to build a jail ''for ii you once got man down in there he would never get out. This natural advantage Is still the same as then, so we will speak word for Cornwall. One other town We have not seen mentioned Is Bark hamsted. Perhaps the county could obtain perfect title to the "big light house" property and build as cheap there as anywhere The towns having now all put in their claims we await the result with interest.
