Eve vs. Evening.

: We have frequently requested our correspondents not to substitute the word 'eve" for evening" The follow ing article from the New Hartford Tribune clearly explains why editors are frequently in doubt as to the date intended by correspondents.
 The editor finds among his correspon- dents very prevalent error and one which often causes misapprehension namely-the use of the word "eve" for evening. For instance, somebody sent us . notice of dance on Thanksgiv- ing eve" when evening was meant, thereby the public were misled. Thanks giving eve Is the evening before Thanks giving, just as Christmas eve is the evening before Christmas. Wednesday eve is Tuesday evening, that is, the evening proceeding Wednesday, and so on, the "eve" of any particular day is the evening preceding that day.
 We cannot imagine why this particu- lar error of expression should be such favorite, unless because the word from it's frequent use-in its proper eens0-ln poetry when TOT the sake OI rhythm 1t is used for evening in the abstract without reference to any par hcular day. But when, used in regard to any special day or event it always signifies the time immediately preced ing, not following. By 'the eve of battle" we understand just before not after the engagement, and so we might multiply illustration. Possibly the word is sometimes used for the sake of brevity, but an abbreviation so mislead ing to the sense is not 8 proper one. The good Saxon evening" is not long enough to be burdensome if we give it ct full length.

BRIEF HARRY AT PITTsFIELD

Business called the editor of THE NEWS to Pittsfeld last Thursday. The weather was unfavorable for driving about that new city, as a Berkshire blizzard was raging. ca alighting at the depot the first thing that attracted attention was the large number of teams unloading ice into the cars. West Street and North Street appeared to be alive with teams hauling ice from Pontoosuc lake. About fifty cars of ice are being shipped daily via. the -Housatonic road, and over 100 teams are employed haul ing it from the lake to the station. Five ice companies, besides private parties, are engaged in cutting ice, and the quantity daily stacked on the shores of the lake exceeds that shipped away. Fonr horses were attached to each street car, on account of the snow falling that day.
 We visited the office of the Sunday Morning Call, and found the Messrs . Oatman busy as bees in June. Their compositors were rapidly ." slinging type" and were evidently trying to get the chance to yell "copy, copy" but the way {" H. T." rolled up copy with that type writer must have been dis couraging to them. Right here we want to say that the growth of The Call has been phenominal. It is little more than a year since the initial num- Der appeared, yet to-day it's cash sales have reached $500 copies weekly .. and soon the 5000 mark will be reached. sMessrs Oatman are enterprising and xpopalar, tremendous workers-regular thustfsrs, and they deserve success. The Call is a most excellent and newsy paper and has evidently come to stay, unless the Messrs Oatman decide to purchase the New York World and transfer their remarkable energies to that journal
 We found Geo B. Cogswell at Feeley' s stove store, happy but hungry-for cheese t. We had 8 pleasant visit with Robert w. Adam and son, at the Savings Bank, and they made many enquiries about Canaan relatives.

 We wanted to call at the Sun office, but our watch told us we had only ten minutes left in which to call on Brother Norton," the genial station agent of the Housatonic road, and then step aboard the train for home. The Housatonic freight office was crowded with ice men doing business with MT Norton, so we merely had chance to say "you are we'll, how do I do?" before Conductor Lane shouted "all aboard"

The advocates of a cloture rule among

new device for putting the rule through

count upon the force of party spirit to
make all the Republicans vote to sustain
