Vile Times, which after quoting what
Graham had recently said about the
cold weather, says: "Graham, do the
cold evenings ever create a desire in
your breast for annexation"
Then Graham remarks: "Our neigh.

Magazine, is after US in the following
fashion: You must let me regret that

Poats. Do married men live warmer
than bachelors in winter; and would
not excessive warmth be disagreeable

speaks of having paid q visit to Rogers

be about the latter part of January,
1S52-and while Circuit Court was set
ting he had the pleasure of hearing
Col. L. c. Haynes first speech at the
bar. 1t was in a criminal case, where
two defendants were arraigned for
stealing a calf. The Colonel, although
embarrassed at first, soon recovered
his usual equanimity and succeeded in
delivering himself of an able and elo-

the defendants. We predict for him a
brilliant career in his new profession. -"
