If you have ..spring fever, be
thankful. 1t is hopeful sign, if a
writer i'll the Boston Globe knows

apparent feeling Of languor is not a
SI@n OF debility; it is the first symptom

NctcS and Observer
In our mention last week Of the
deed Of charity in the building Of a
neat cottage for Miss Eliza Faulkner,
in which we spoke of it being done
partly that she might be removed from
the undesirable location of her present
residence, no reflection whatever was
intended against the premises, except
the house in which she lives is situated
among a number Of dwellings occupied
by colorcd people. In this cOnnec-
ton we desire to state that credit is due
Mr.. J. Il. Young for his many acts of
kindness to her, having furnished her
Il house To live III on his farm near
town. together with lirewOOd, garden,
&C.. for over three years, and when the
house was needed for Il farmland he
furnished her double brick tenement
near Burgwyn' 5 factory for over two
years. He has also hauled most Of her
wood from his farm at no cost to her.
