igure; as thu equipage approached
the humble newspaper man why he
Of course dotted his cap, but the
stately and dignifed figure, neither
looked to the right nor to the left
but right ahead of him, and the re

your humble Correspondent was the
back of MY hand to you, and as he

with a foot snow, and she seemed
much elated with our Spring like
weather, which we are at the present
experiencing.
