KNOHSVILLK.
Snow! Snow! Snow! how silently
fallclh the snow! As the writer
sits beside the hot stove, there is
an aspect in the weather outside,
that seems to indicate a prospect
of sleighing. Though the snow
fall has been very slow, it has
covered the ground to the depth
of 1! or 8 inches, and is still falling
with . prospects of much more.
The farmers will welcome this
wintry covering for the grain
crops which have suffered much
from the want of snow during
the past few weeks of freezing
aud thawing weather,
Many of the young folks of this

A few days ago there happen
ed in a family uear this place,
what might have been a fatal af
fray. An altercation between
the father and son resulted in
the father seiziug a chair aud
striking the son over the head
while he was lacing his shoes.
Such persons are dangerous to
their families and communities
in which they live. Some of the
village residents formed a fishing
club, and pursued the piscatorial
sport during the recent mild days.
Their success, however, was not
commensurate with the admir
able patience which they exercis
ed in so steadily and constantly
standing at their posts. Irvin
Hammill, and Henry Divens while
pursuing the sport, were sur
prised at the appearance on the
opposite side of the creek of an
animal of the cat species. It at
tempted to cross on some ice
which, breaking under its weight,
precipitated it into the water.
When it reached the bank again,
Mr. Hammill hurled a stone at
the animal and frightened it so
badly that it fled at a tremendous
pace for the fastnesses of Scrub
Ridge, no doubt to the entire sat
isfaction of the gentlemen, who
declare it was a wild cat. These
animals have become quite num
erous in this viciuiiy.
