burden nobly:
Valedictory.

Having disposed of our entire inter-
est in The Enquirer to Mr.. l. M. Grist.
our connection with it closes with this
issue. The motives which led to this
step would possess but little interest
for the public. Suffice it that the Juni-
or wishes to make other arrangements,
and the Senior was unwilling to as
sumo the responsibility Of sole editor
ship and proprietor. His present Off
cial and professional duties are suffi-
ciently exacting to require his undivid-
ed attention.
The objects for which The Enquirer
was established have been accomplish
ed. 1t was the wish Of the projectors to
plant on a firm basis, a paper, which
should be at once the exponent OF the
literature and the protector and eleva-
tor Of the intelligence and morality OF
the district. II we have fallen short
sometimes Of our duty, we have not
been disappointed, at least, in thinking
that a journal with such views, would
receive liberal, generous and sustain
ing patronage.
In retiring, therefore, 1t affords us no
little satisfaction to leave the paper,
not only upon a permanent footing, but
also in such good hands as those Of the
present enterprising and industrious
proprietor, and the able and experience
ed editor, Sam'l. w. Melton, Esq, who
watched so successfully over the youth
full struggles Of The Enquirer. The
public will know and appreciate their
efforts, and we hope and believe that
the past is only an index Of the future
that their industry and talent will
meet the same encouragement which
they have heretofore met and that our
pet journal will be tenderly cherished
by it's old and newly found readers.
Our intercourse with the members OF
the press has generally been amicable
and agreeable. We have found the edi-
torial fraternity generous, frank and
intelligent class-ready to do battle In
defence Of cherished opinions, yet,
ready to forget and forgive when the
heat Of the conflict was over. We will
miss-yes, we will sigh for the familiar
face Of many a dear Exchange" with
it's pungent editorial, it's political
broadside, or playful humor. To our
fellow craftsmen, therefore, we bid
farewell with regret, and we can but
leave them our best wishes.
To our old readers-to the many that
we love-and to our friends generally,
we bid a heartfelt adieu.

AS Kelly came in, scowling at Sar-

heartily with:

The Value of kashmir.-The most
populous and important part Of the
Kashmir state in the extreme north
western part Of India. is the south
western portion, especially that known
as the vale of Kashmir," noted as
being one Of the most beautiful dis

dia and elsewhere. The Vale Of Kash-
mir may be described as an oval bas-
in 80 miles long and 20 broad, extend
ing from southeast to northwest. The
Jhelum river flows through this val
ley, and has several enlargements
making important lakes. On either
side Of the Jhelum is an extended area
of fiat alluvial plain which is closely
cultivated. The mountain ranges sur
rounding the valley are among the
highest in the world. Mount Goodwin
Austin, a peak in one of these ranges
with an altitude Of 2S,265 feet, Is said
to be the second highest peak in the
world. The floor Of the Vale of Kash-
mir is from 5000 to 5000 feet above
sea level. On the Jhelum river with
in the vale are located Sprinager, the
capital and largest city of Kashmir

Angrily, Sartoris turned upon the

The answer Of the jockey was direct

Where is she?" he shouted, almost
shaking his list in the others face.

the Jockey. 'T watched her come In
half an hour ago. and she's not
come out. Where's that door go?"
He pointed to the door behind which
Myrtle was hiding.
Whats that to you?" demanded
Sartoris.

Anson started for the door, but the
captain blocked his way

Good Resolutions.-The pastor Of a
New York church on Sunday after New
Years, proposed the following ten New
Year resolutions for the members OF
his congregation:
L will say hearty Hello at half q
chance and help everywhere.
1 will practice smiling until it be-
comes fixed habit.
1 will cultivate my heart as we'll as
fill my pocketbook.

I will not criticise but compliment
folk, and that not gingerly.
I will choke back complaints about
aches, ills and bad luck.
I will take my head and heart tc
church quite regularly.
1 will say my prayers with a child's
spirit and an adults will.
I will daily look myself over ant

You did?"
Three times"
What in?"
Thousands"
Good heavens, mani" said Sartoris,
not entirely displeased to see another
in trouble also. You'll be broke.
They tried The Whip yesterday. She
romped home. The best horse they've
ever had in the Beverley stables.
Cover, man! Cover"
Cover be hanged" said the dis
gusted Kelly. I've tried it, but the
whole town rings with it, and the
horse is now TO 1.
Anything is better than nothing,
Sartoris advised. IF you wait you ii
get worse. Beverley is going to tell
the wide world. Oh. you're in hole
put there by Brancaster."
This lack of sympathy on the part
of Sartoris angered Kelly.
I'm in a hole, Mr.. Captain Sarto-
ris." he said threateningly. But what
are you? I'm going to get out of this
hole, and you are going to help me.
I've been a good pal to you; now it's
your turn"
What can 1 do?" demanded Sar-
toris with a shrug of the shoulders.
"I'n tell you what 1 can do" re-
turned Kelly, taking a piece of pa
per from his pocket. You see this

toris easily. But I want you to let

and I'll keep this-till after the Two
Thousand race. And if The Whip
wins I shall take it to Lady Diana and
ask her how her signature comes
there. But if The Whip loses I'll give
u hack to you, and I'll throw you a
couple of thousand in as a make

How can 1 stop The Whip from
winning?" asked Sartoris, fearful that
his forging of his cousins name would
soon come to light.
That's your job" returned Kelly
Lots of things happen to horses, es-
pecially favorites. When klarikoh

not likely soon to hear the last Of the
terrible storm which recently swept
our forests. It's ravages are to be seen
everywhere, and we can readily believe
the oldest inhabitant," who declared
he had seen nothing like it." And we
can as readily trust the assertions,
heard on every hand, that quarter OF
a century will not suffice to wear away
traces so indelibly imprinted. The best
idea to be gathered Of the severity OF
the storm was obtained by us the 9TH
ed day from our friend Mr.. Robert
Cairnes. While putting things to rights
in his orchard, he weighed the branches
Of several trees while encumbered by
ice, and also ascertained their weight
after the ice had melted. The follow
ing table exhibits the striking result,
the first line Of figures containing the
weight Of the limb with the ice, and
the second. the limb alone. After all
