Granlteville Items.

| Well, as we have eight inches more of the
| beautiful snow, making in all, so far this
winter, thirteen or fourteen inches that has
fallen, and thus far corroborating the pre-
diction Of the red mans. We think we had
something to Say on this subject some weeks
| ago, and our advice, though of little worth,
perhaps, was to keep the wood pie well
| stocked; we fear to some extent it has been
ignored, and now, right in our midst, can be
seen some very, very scanty wood yards,
which, we think, could have been otherwise
had they been so, disposed. We don't want
the REGISTER or its many readers to think
we are posing as prophet, but what we
have said has now become a matter of fact.
