The same may he said from the post-office down to the lower end of town, where the i mud is fearful in wet weather—only a few lots along there having walks, —will not the balance follow the example, and have it at least decently passable to reach their premises 7 Some people may not care how much mud is before their bouses, but a proper regard for the feelings of others demands something better. It :osts but $o or s'"• dollars to make a board-walk across a lot, and there is not a lot owner but what can readily afford to spend that amount for his own comfort and that of his neighbors, saying nothing of the en hancement it is to the value of the proper ty. Who will be the first to make a walk in the sections above referred too? We have heard a rumor, says the Re publican, that Sheriff Shaffer and two of his children are sick with small-pox. It it feared that the children will not live. It seems that the Sheriff moved into a house where a man had been sick, with what be called the cbicken-pox ; but it has since turned out that it was the varioloid. We sympathise with the Sheriff in his trouble, and hope to soon inform our readers thai be and Dis family have passed through the prdval all right 2f.

Fleming j bought some fowls at a public sale, and . got tKb deft along wi;b others, to carry ) them home for him, as they were going directly passed his residence, anil he had t to go and settle for them, and he would catch up with them. So they started off at a pretty brisk pace, and got oyer to the pl'ffs house, before he came, and sold the fowls to his father for & eta per head, more than be the pi ff had paid for thern, the deft stating that he had paid such and ' such a price for the fowls. Witnesses wer* j called up on both sides to give in their tes timony ; the case was argued very strong ly on both sides ; the verdict was brought in guilty, the deft wa- sentenced to three months imprisonment in our county jail, i which is the small outbuilding on the. school-ground; and when the constable took the prisoner out to the jail, the pro oner stepped back and very gently pushed :he eonstable in first, which was vers laughable.

The chicken-pox are spatting the little ones in town, and thinning out the school houses in general. E. J. Kurd has abandoned the idea of becoming lord of the Penn House. A "peep-hole 1 ' wa* made in tho heading of the Ueuver Dam tunnel on last Wed nesday , and the consequences were an old-fashioned "bender"' among the word ing men to drown their great joy. The beautiful spring like weather which j we have been enjoying of late, comes very handy to farmers who did not get all their ploughing done last full ; but it is suppos-. rd to be injurious to the sleeping plants, and will undoubtedly result in a damaged, crop next summer. We hear predictions come from several reliable souices, to the effect that February has a leal winter store for us ; that then the icy caverns of the North Pole will be unlocked and the bleak wintry winds will pour down upon us and fill our ice-houses with u frigid store that nest summer may not he cele brated as the centennial year without ice cream.
