leading hotels in this city some time
ago. When a constable went to the

more to the jail."
Church etiquette is a theme, but an
exchange gives the following sugges ,
tions concerning church manners, and
by the way, they are good. '"Having
entered a pew, move along; do not
blook,up the end of the pew as if you
did not intend to have anyone eine to
enter it, or as if you were holding it
for some special friends, Do not rise
to let any person in, but move along
and leave the pew invitingly open so
that they will know that they are wel-
conic, if, a pew holding four has al-
ready three in it,do net file out in
eormal procession to let a poor scared
woman go to theother end, but move
along and let her sit to the end next
to the aisle. It is not necessary for a
stalwart man to sit at the end ready ft:
smash out and kill Indians, a8 possibly
it was once."

Will it be a severe winter.
What will the winter be? The old-
est inhabitant; the man who studies
the moon, and the wind; the prophet
who is guided by the squirrels he of
hog's melt, the corn husk, the goose
bone and the frog skin, are usually
ready to prognosticate. Here are the
reasons one seer gives for fortelling an
extremely severe winter: 1, The husks
on corn are much thicker than usual,
and of a deep orange tint'instead of a
light lemom hue, 2. The hog's melt
runs jagged, instead of smooth 3,
The goose belie taken from a May
raised fowl shows larger and whiter
spots than customary, which resemble
the canals of Mars, 4, The crop of
nutsof all kinds are immense, and the
squirrels and chipmunks are lying in
prodigious stores early in the season,
5, The partridges and wood chucks
are lighting in barns and outhouses,
instead of trees, and ducks are flying
in U-shaped, instead of V-shaped, flecks
towards the south. The green fro �s
