was sister of the late Mrs. VIM. H.

The Dover correspondent of a Will
mingtOn daily who delights in 'pleas-
antrles" towards this town, gets of the
following in his last communication
'The Uncle Tom Dramatic Company
which was advertised to appear here
last night, failed to make an appear
ance and a report says they got stran-
ded on the impecuniary and unappre-
ciable soil of Smyrna.
THE streets were unusually icy last
week from the rain and snow that
frOze as they fell. One of the most
slippery places was at the entrance to
the post office. One of the large glas-
ses in the window was smashed BY a
citizen who lost his balance and only
recovered himself by ramming his
head through the glass. The inquiries
were so frequent as to chow it hap
pened,' that the Postmaster put out
an official bulletin stating the cause.
1t proved entirely satisfactory.

erence was made in our last issue)

TAKING advantage of the freeze last
week and fearing there might not be
another opportunity, several parties
partially filed their ice houses with
ice from % to four inches thick, having
to stop however from the ice sQftening
so from the rising temperature.
Among them were the Creamery Co,
VIM. H. Carr, Mrs Eva K. Boehmler,
Jacob Leinberger, Elmer HOffecker,
Geo. NJ. Stevenson, James Williams,
G. Speakman and Wm. A. FAIRIES
From the cold wave that set 10 yester-
day, sending the mercury down to 14o
this morning. it looks as if they would
have an opportunity to get better ice
in this week,
