and the enjoyment of :1 general holiday.
The very unpleasant weather on Saturday
must have seriously affected the holiday
trade, although‘thc streets in the evening

rcu, anxious, apparently, to spend their
“bottom dollar." The warm min t]1:1tfcll
in the course of the night carried 01f the
snow 11nd ion, and Sunday morning, to the
surprise of everybody, dawned bright and
warm. The churches through the day were
filled with large congregations, and the regu-

reference to that department of our local
columns. were of an appropriate character.
