FIRST FROST.
The first frost OF the season made its
appearance Thursday morning. While II
did no damage to vegetation, It has left
a decided chill in the air, and suggests
fires and overcoats very emphatically.

tints, and the last roses of summer are
blooming with their most perfect bios
SONS, whose outer petals are tinged with
the russell hue of autumn.
But the frost brings no happy hint to

curslons, as this year the law protects
the birds. and gives them unanimity from
danger from the gun and the snare.
