Brother Charles Hill has faithfully aud sue
cesstuliy served the church for many years,
and never more vigorously or acceptably
than to-day. The people of Elktou have no
complaints or appeal, but many volumes
OF cheer. All along the lines, Brother Hill
has met expectation. He is as hale and Wig
orous man as you want to see; and lives
IN the finest parsonage | know of. Its very
hne outward appearance does not exceed j $
splendid interior arrangements and hand
some furniture. All hail to our consecrated
youthful, Fathers !!'
1t is by no means improbable that we
may have considerable cold weather and
snow yet Judging from the experience of
some former winters. Capt. j. T. Jones
informs us that the winter of 1S7l72 was

however, blizzard set in and snow fell to
a considerable depth. 1t also became very
cold and ice between three and four inches
thick was made on the river at Elk Landing.
The ice remained sound three days during
which time the weather was quite cold. A
lady who fed her family on goose last New
Years Day and saved the breast bone
showed it to a reporter this week. 1t is per-
fectly clear for the first half but a short dis
lance past the centre is large dark mark
which the believer in the goose bone as a
weather prophet say means wintry weather.
Another party who bases conclusions on
The condition of some part of the hog says
cold weather is predicted for the last half of
the winter. The WING does not claim to
be weatherwise and merely gives this
weather gossip for what it is worth.
The Baltimore american relates that
last week a female resident of that city
called at the jewellery store of G. H. Pepar,
on West Baltimore street, to have a breast
pin fixed. "Mr. Pepar asked her name, so
that he might put it on the tag to attach to
the pin. He asked the lady to spell her
name, which she did. The manner in
which he asked the question caused her to
mention the fact that some years ago, while |
residii G in Hartford County, she had left a
watch with him to be repaired, but that |
she came to the city she WAS |
either hurried or for some other reason she |
did not call for the watch. Four or five |
years passed, and she supposed the watch |
had been sold, and thought no more about |
its recovery until she called on Tuesday, |
when she was reminded of the watch by the |
manner in which he asked her to spell her |
name. After few moments he went to his |
safe and produced an old fashioned lady's |
English open-f faced watch. He said
Madam, does this look anything like that
Hatch?' She replied: No, sir, il don't look
{. hut it is mine Mr.. Pepar then opened
he Case and found Il paper bearing the |
ady's name, and the price due for repairs, |
md the date, which WAS October 10, 1867.
II had laid IN his safe for % years. The lady |
Vas naturally very much pleased to regain
he watch, as it had belonged to her mother
