of the beginning of winter. This "neck |

than its share OF rain, during the past
two weeks, and we protest against the
Artic weather, which the effete East has
been enjoying. Snow has been falling

patented in short time. 1t is to be
hoped that these gentlemen will put

and that it will prove a valuable min

situated in a good locality, where those
who delve in the earth usually are re-
warded for their time and money spent
