Go! Winter, go!
Thy frozen locks and tresses white,
Ann looks that kindle not delight.
And breaths that chills the young heart's glow,
And frowns that make the tear drop start,
No bliss, no pleasure can impart}
Go! Winter,go!
Come ! Summer, come !
With genial skies and budding flowers,
And balmy gales and fragrant showers,
And smiles that clothe the earth in flowers,
Come ! with thy bright and fairy band,
And scatter gladness o'er the land ;

Thafidaj last, the day set apart by the
President as a day of humiliation, fasting and pray
er, was generally observed in this place. All the church
es were open during the day, and each were filled with
Tn ge congregations. The sermons were appropriate and
fervent, commending the spirit which dictated th'c ob
servance of such a day a? the true one to deliver the na
tion from the fangs of treason- The general observance
of the day was highly creditable to those whose better
feelings and true loyalty led them thus to respect the
suggestion of the President.

He cleans and colors everything In the most superb

which needs cleaning or coloring, to bring it up to the
present standard of style and fashion—one, perhaps, you
have laid away, regretting that the colors were not now
worn that in consequence thereof, it was a little out ot
fashion—out of date—bring it to the Dyer, and have him
impart to it a fashionable color, appropriate to the sea
son. He cleans Carpets of every description, and it
would astonish you to see how COMPTOS makes new car

DIED,
In Wysox, Monday morning, May 4th. 1563. after a short
illness, ADONIJAK MOODY, "aged 76 years, 2 months
16 days.
An old citizen of our county, and for a long period, of
our borough .has thus, full of years, been summoned to the
grave. A quarter of a century he has passed among us,
since he came fiom Connecticut, and he has become wide
ly respected and esteemed. His grasp was not soft but
it was faithful and hearty. His manners were those
learnt in the school of an active life, symptomatic of the
honesty and s'neenty of his di.sposi tion. A man of strong
will, his powerful frame fitted him for the rough labor of
existence and made him a worthy representative of our
honored pioneers—energetic, determined, but possessing
a kind heart, we shall miss his familiar face while those
who know him best will with reason mourn his loss. He
has left behind him muiy old life long friends who will
not forget him while they, burdened with the infirmities
of age, hasteu wearily toward that rest which he has
found ; for we trust that Heaven lay at the end ol those
more than three score and ten years. [COM .
