I’ without those results near akin to sadness so
foften described, and an open winter in the
early portion like the present, may not, after
all, bcia dreadful thing. The farmer who
don’t put much manure on the field where
he sowed his winter grain invariably declares
that a coating of snow is necessary to protect
the young roots till spring comes and offers
to keep them along with its warmth, but the
owner of strong soils looks at the healthy
open weather and says snow
ferencc. Every farmer, poor or rich, will
agree that the clearest saving he can make
on cattle keeping is during a period like this
when field grazing is possible. Thus far hay
mows have been not much encroached on.

Which Country Postmaster?
In the New York Times, Saturday’s edi-
tion, the “Notes from Washington" contain-
ed the following:—
“A country postmaster wrote to the Post-
master-General a day or two ago, saying: ‘A
man’s wife dropped a letter in this office ad-
dressed to another man. The husband sus-
pects something. Shall I deliver the letter
to him P"
If we are not very much mistaken this in-
nocent inquiry of the country postmaster
will have a wider-application than he could
have dreamed of when he asked the Post-
master—General for instructions ; for, even
in this quiet community, it is said that some
other men’s wives and some other women’s
husbands are anxious to know under what
class the post-offices of small boroughs and
cities are registered in Washington. If this
simple question of the country postmaster
causes so much flutteringin our community,
our readers can imagine what a tumult it
must create among the towns and villages of
the hundreds of thousands that have country
postmasters, and perhaps it may be the duty
of the Postmaster-General to give the name
and address of the questioner, so as to relieve
the multitude that are now on the anxious
scat.

On Saturday afternoon a man from Ridge-
ficld was driving a span of horses up Main
street, with the wagon partly loaded with
coal. Near Scofield’s grocery the reins
broke, the horses became unmanageable,
turned into Catherine street, then into Grand
street, through Cobble Hill to the Fair
Grounds, then into Main street and down to
near the point of starting, where they were
stopped. No damage.

Life in the city is not without it pleasures
for the lords of creation. :What with the
temperance rooms, billiard rooms and club
houses few must be the unfortunates who
have not some favorite haunt where choice
spirits abound and the “wing of friendship
never moults a feather." The most conviv-
ial are the "Spcelers," who occasionally,"pass
the song." Next are the “Old Well Club,"
from whose rooms politics, religion, and in-
toxicating liquors are religiously excluded.
Then comes the “Old Hen Club,” who have
their nocturnal sittings in the pleasant quar-
ters of a popular druggist. Their chief bus-
iness is to incubate politic moves, but just at
present they are warming the project of a
new National Bank.
Now that the $43.50 problem has become

A novel. sut is in progress against the city
of Altona, Pennsylvania. In that place, as
in many otllirs, young men'havc been ac-
customed tohang around church doors in
waiting for; young women. This became
such a nuis ‘e that the police were instruct-
ed to make urests, and one James Stinson
was “scoopqi in.” Stinson was engaged to
be married Mary Price, but Mary refused
to have any ng more to do with him after
he fell into t i hands of the police, while his
rich aunt, w had settled a fine property on
him, tore up r will. Stinson sues the city
for damages $50,000, fwhich, of course, he
