Tu lecture of Mr. Breslin, Eq., of Lebanon,
f In the Court IL use, on Friday evening last,
wus well nltcuded by an intelligent audience,

and w ill long be remembered by those w ho beard
It. Tho lecture v.n well delivered, aud many of

perform In this place on Tuesday lnt, did not
arrive until about five o'clock In the afternoon,
hawng beeu detained on tho road from Millers
burg on account of the inclemency of the wea
ther, and the bai condition of the roads. Seve
ral of the wagon were considerably damaged,
the men drenched by the rain, and their stock
almot worn out. The proprietor; after their nr.
rival, finding the rnlu ani snow still desccndiLg,
wisely concluded uot to oxhiblt, as fiecideuts
might occur by tho canvas givlng way from the
heavy weight of water falllutr up.on It. They re
mained here over night, nnd before leaving Sext
moruing for Milton, paid their bills promptly.
Altogether It wa the best show, perhaps, that
ever came to this place, as it left about v'lght
hundred dollars In town and took none away.

Tub vestry of St. Matthew' Episcopal Church

fully ablo to proceed at once. We hope they
will do so ft the old building Is entirely too
small.

Snow. Ulnc our last Issue, we were visited by
several snow storm which have puzzled the
minds of some of the oldest wenther prophets In
thcli efforts to discover what they Indicated, end
as to which was the "onion snow," usually the
winding np snow. It has been stated that new
order of things have been ordained, and that we
are entitled henceforth to a "clery snow," a

Since a young lady wrote the poem "Beautiful
Suow," there has been a remarkable change lu
the seasons of the year, and we are strongly Im
pressed with the Idea that the Arctic regions are
being drawn towards us. Whether this is the case
or not old winter still maintains her sway to the
great distress of the feminlnes whoso trailing
skills and gnltered feet make deep Impressions
In her last rcmuants upon our ddewalk. Poor

Topacco Bkooino. Every tobacco eh ewer i
considered a beggar of tho "weed," and most ge
nerally they are found liberal In supplying their
neighbor's wants when applied to. There are
but few, however, who know that In following
the practice of begging nud giving that they sub
ject themselves to a Jicnnlty of the law. The
United States Internal Revenue law allows no
person or persons to sell or dlsposo of tobacco lu
any form, no matter how small or great the bulk,
without first paying a license fee of five dollars.
This maybe reducing the law to a fine point, yet
It Is true, If we accept the law ns tho above
clanse reads. Thero ure' several lu this place
who Indulifc to a great extent In begging tobacco,
with whom we would be pleased If they were to
secure a license for us or quit begging.

While All admit the Importance of a well organ
ized, and Well supported Ure department, ull do
not cem to ho willing to gtvc their aid in It sup
I"ort. Last week the young men composing our
steam firo coi.'ipany, gave a number or enter
tainments rr C be purpose cf raising means to
purchase hats, a necessity that has not yet been
supplied thciii,iioC"i'hstaudIng '.he company has
been iu existonce several years. Great expecta
tions were entertained by the members of tho
company, hut tho bouse Va so sparcely attend
ed that the expenses atCcL'diiig such entertain
ment were barely paid, ai;d ul their elose on
Saturday evening last, the eo.-i.V"tisum of 7 ov
er and ubove cxpeuses, were real'L'd. Previous
to getting our steamer, we had a u. i'.erable orga
nisation, and sometimes none at all, l"',r the rea
son that being a li reman is in t only .'ttlcmted
with hard labor, but with great expinLi4 nd
even hazard of life. Our present company, in
fluenced by tho tine and costly apparatus'!.'!'?
hold In their possession, manifest lho greatett
zeal in ttieir ellorts to render It an rmcicnl orga
nization, although niot of I hem do not own a
dollar's worth of property iu the place, and why
they should be compelled to beg lor means to
supply themselves with anything that may add
to their comfort or protection, or to place the or
ganization on a proper rooting, we cannot sec.
They have no interest ut stake, or at least most
or them have not ; and if tbey all bad we cannot
see why they slmld protect the t..wn against tire
with tbeir owu bodily exertions and pay expense
too. Tho position of Ureman is luborious and
hazardous, and the Indications presented bv tho
occurrence to which no make relereuce, ure that
u i luankic-s.
