McCAIN'S.

MCCAIN's, Dec. l3.-The "beautiful"
came down during the night, and when
the morning awOke us from elysian
dreams our eyes Tell upon the snow
clad hills and valleys bringing forth
EXPLANATIONS of Joy and delight, tn
think how quickly the temperature
changed and rObed the earth in white.
With such thoughts of the good and
beautiful, we turn our course of thought
into the channel that always leads Us to
our "OnIy" HERALD, which is always
classed with the brightest and best.
We find the health of our community
good, with the eXcep ion of a few cases
of whOOping-cOugh.

room, aud Master johnnie Petty is
suffering from broken limb. As he
