CORN WALL.

News is scarce, almighty scarcel People say why don't we see something in the NEWS from Cornwall? When you ask them for items they can't think of any. Indeed each winter season grows duller. The old fashioned people who used to spend the cold months in drinking hard cider and playing seven up are most all gone, and chose of the old stock who are left never indulge in any dissipation stronger than chewing plug tobacco and reading the New York Sun. We gather at the village store and hear the words of wisdom which so readily fall from the sages' lips. We also hear the arguments and hear read for the sixty seventh time the story of the famous fight between John l.. and Jim Corbett, and we hear many reasons given just why John got licked. One of onr sages has summed up the whole reason in one sentence "he didn't car culate right" Our glimpses of the out side world are few; an occasional drum mer visits our village and tells us sto- ries, which, while they may not be true, most of them have good moral. There is another pleasing feature about the drummer's visits. Many drummers have large trunk; and we all are tickled most to death to be asked to help load it, as that insures us good Dc cigar; and some drummers have been known to have "pinter" with them. We also get sight at the outside world when our Representative comes home from the General Court, and we listen with wonder at the doings at the Capital The reports of the cannon which were used for the Governors parade, which we are told shook the Goddess of Lib erty on the Capitol dome and loosened her back hair, would make the grand est efforts of our local dynamiters sound like fre-cracker. We also learn that not many of the members are Prohibit tionists and that some of them have a liking for "Heublein's Private Stock. '" We don't know what that is, but we suppose it is something like the old fashioned "Swichcll' made of vinegar, water and molasses. ea.-+

 Our citizens who have ice houses commenced to fill them last Friday with crystal ice from the lake, nine inches thick, and this week it is about ten inches thick. A bathing accident happened to Peter Kissellbrack last Friday and Monday; while saving ice he slipped and fell into the lake, but was safely pulled out, and he ran home each time and took an inward bath of whiskey which made it all o. K. And he was none the worse from the effects of the outward accidental bath.
