We met Jams B. Watson Thnrsday wd he incliued his head so stiffly that we were surpiised. Conrhict so xmtisual cansod us to turn after he had passed aud look him over. He was wearing a new coat! It is singular how stnck np some people get over new plumage. The fact that thero will he two new moons in December for the first time since the hirth of Christ 1896 years ago is the canso of sorne speoalation among those who are superstitions, as to whether or uot the event may not porteud tbe second oorning of the Messiah. We want delinquent snbscriners to get their just deserts ! The rousic of the phow shovel in this village affer a big storm is something inspiring. The borny handed sons of toil who constitute the neighbors of the architect of theso columns, in tbeir tireat power of mnscle, pitch tbe snow clean over the telegraph wires in to tbe street. Being ourself but a frail sbadow on the streatu of time, these sinewy feats excite our euvy as we dnck and dodge to get ont of the way. Cbarlie Jenks, of the big perfumery flrm of Foote & Jenks, of Jackson, was in town a few days ago. Cbarlie is one solid mass of integrity and gentle manbood from the ground up, and thore is neither variableuess nor shadow of turning in the good qnalities that compose bis make up. You know Foote, don't yon? He oan teil you more about perfumes - their qualities, durability and oharaeteristics - in five minutes than all the Parisian dabblers in this species of chemistry. Foote is a good one. When we first stumbled into Jackson 16 years ago, he and we ate bread and cheese in our humble qnarters together, ana the one who had the oleanest papar collar would alwaysloau it to the otber to wear 011 Sunday afternoons.when its owner didn't care about an airing. Now Foote, the prosperous scamp, has a big bank account and money sticking out of both pockets, while we'd now be shivering in the deep, deep woods if Matt Keeler hadn't come in and pad a year's snbscription just as we were breakiug for the back door to avoid the bntcher, two grocers an(} the man we got coal of. Such is f ate!
