M. J. Crawford, J r. dec*) St Attempt to meet and Know. Yesterday during all the day a feeble attempt was made to give us a little snow. Flakes fell thick and fast at one time, and we thought a little snow-balling would be In order, or at leasf that the occasion would warrant the repubUcatlon of ■’Beau tiful Snow." But it did not snow much, neither did it sleet to hurt—but the cold was bitter and raw. Everything is frozen over, and the “oldest inhabitant" Is re freshing his memory as to the time he saw a similar cold spell. All vegetation, particularly the grain crop, will suffer. Wood Is In demand, and steadily rising in price—which is hard on the poor. For aaytbing in Groceries, Provisions Grain, Ac., at “rock bottom,'' prices call on J. U.

We hear of a number of farmers who planted a fow weeks ago, and whose oats hsve come up In small spots. Tho estimate made Is that at least one-half of the oat crop will havo to bo replanted., Wo are sorry to hear this, for our peo ple have Just begun to turn their attention to grain. Our opinion (founded upon the opinion of tho best farmers) is that grain should not bo sowed until January’. Wo think the only advantage to be gained In sowing In the fall is to get the crop out of the way, that other work may bo done In January—and for tho additional reason that grain sowed In November will make a sort of half-way winter pasture for light Stock. -•♦ ’ - Cbeek In Church. During kU campaigning tour down East Bob Ingeraoll one Sunday went to.’a fashionable church. With characteristic Western independence he ignored the offi cious usher, and selecting the finest pew he could find csconced himself in the soiled corner. Boon|the great man who owned the pew came along with his fami ly and sat down. But such impudence could not be permitted to pass by unre bulced, and the proprietor of the box wrote on a Uy-lcaf of a hymn book, "I pny $2,- 000 a year rent tqr this pew,” and passed it to Bob. “Quick as thought the ready pencil Jcamc out, the book was returned with an additional line, and the indignant owner read the comment: “D and fine pew for the price.” The droppings of the sanctuary fell on one insulted and burning heart that morning, but it did not beat un der Ingersoll's vest. The Yule I,o*. In accordance with the Scriptiml teach ing “Christ is the true light which shall lighten every man that comelli into the whold," and the “Light of Lights” prom isctljin the prophseies to the Gentiles, the Christmas, or Yule Festival was also called by the early Christians “The Feast of lights.” In the ancient days both the Western and Eeastein churches (and to the present in the Church of liome) large and highly-ornamentttl wsx candles are burned in the Christmas celebration. Out of tins custom, most probably, grew the introduction of the Yule block, clog or log, in the rural districts of England, alter the Christian religion had there be come established. Except in Church observances, the use of the Christmas candle is now obsolete. The Yule-log, for fire of Christmas Eve, in many portions of England and Scot land is still gathered early in autumn and saved for the purpose, or iu its stead, when the log or block cannot be obtuin cn, an enormous lumps of coal is laid by for the occasion and purpose. The same custom prevails in certain sections of Vir ginia and other Southern States the in habitants of which are of English descent- This wus notably the case in the rural districts of Eastern Virginia during the existence of sluvery. The preservation of the block for the “back-log” of the Christmas fire was a matter of no small concern with plantation negroes; and white boys and black extemporised Christmas cannon of large, dry logs of wood, drilling holes in, and charging them* with gun powder, and exploding by percussion or ignition. The first of these Christmas gnus was usually fired off at midnight of Christmas eve; and from this time until morning, bud luck to the man, woman or child in the vicinity who could not sleep, even amid the noiße of battle. Hints to the Fair Hex. A photographer gives the following di rections to his customers: When a lady silting for a picture would compose her mouth to a bland and serene character, she should, just before entering the room, say “bosom,” and keep the expression into which the mouth subsides until the desired effect in the camera is evident. If, on the other hand, she wishes to as sume a distinguished nnd somewhat noble bearing, not suggestive of sweet ness, she should say “brush,” the result of which is iufallible. If she wishes to make her mouth look small she must say “flipbut if the mouth be already too small and needs enlarging she must sny “cabbagc.” If she wishes to look mourn ful she must say “kerchunk if resigned she must forcibly ejaculate “s’cat.” TILDEN TO BE INAUGURATED. ■■-■■■ o Let Returning Boards mako their re ports as they may, yet It will appear, Ist.
