Those who were sure that February
would develop an unusual tendency
to billiards and unpleasant weather,
are now beginning to think that Win
ter has left for the North, and will
not be back for over half a year to
come. Still, it is too soon yet to begin
to talk of the best plan to put away
furs and heavy clothes to keep out
moths.

SMILES of a ladies hand writing and
embodied an advertisement.

kins, Of this city, at John Logan's sale,
created a sensation on Federal street,
Burlington, Friday afternoon, for an
hour or two 1t was wicked animal
and decided that it would go no fur
ther. When the two drivers attempted
to force the bull he promptly broke at
one of them and tore his trousers nearly
off. A load ofhay passing attracted the
bad bulls attention, and he followed it
until he reached the base ball grounds
at Federal Street and Washington
avenue, where he laid down and refused
to be moved. He reached home on

In this season of bad travelling the
best medium for vendue sales is the
newspaper. Bills are only Of use in
the immediate neighborhood of the
sale, general publicity can only be OBJ
tanned through the newspaper which
circulates in the whole country, and
draws larger attendance. If there is
an article that a buyer would like, the
newspaper is the source from which he
receives the information This paper
goes out every week and pauses not
until it enters nearly every household
in the country. No matter how bad
the travelling is, it gets there. Plant
an advertisement in its columns if you
want people to know what you are
doing.
