Tho dark sky, the snow, and wailing winds re­ minded us very foicibly that "The melancholy days have come the, sad­ dest of the year." This and the al­ most impassable condition of the roads caused people to remain at home to enjoy, selfishly, their own Thanksgiv­ ing dinner as best they coula. The business places, generally, were open but they might as well have boon closed for tlie streets wore a deserted aspect, and the few that did pass seemed to be hurrying to the end of their destination. Services were held in the Methodist and Catholic church­ es, but fro are sorry to say that there were very few gentlemen present, per­ haps because "They had no stomach o'er a grace to sod. Nor time enough to olfer thanks to uted; That might be done they wisely knew. When theV had nothing else to do,'4 The services at the Methodist cliurch were appropriate for tiie occasion and the affecting sermon delivered in the Catholic church, by Father Leyden. moved many of his auditors to tears.-- He spoke of God's infinite goodness towards us and of how very, very much we had to be thankful for. Also Of how many human creatures there were who had not enough clothing to keep them warm or food to satisfy tlie cravings of hunger, ou that cold November morn­ ing. He led us to feet with tho poet who says, •••: "f#*r*ave the poor feel for the poor, : > TWnksh know not how hard, . ItUtobe of needful rest, "-'And needful food debarr'd; • Ifhey know uot of the scanty ineajt, . . . Withsmall, palefaces round; No Are upon tlie cold, damp hearth, :Wheu snow is on the ground." He also spoke of tlie Indians who wandered through our streets the day before, asking aid from many and re­ ceiving assistance from those who sym­ pathise witii suffering humanity. The good Father sharing with tiiein from his humble store. The Literary Circle met last week at the residence of 1. T. Salisbury. Th£ attendance was large and all appoint­ ed to net were present except the Critic, but the members declared that -they had spent a very pleasaut evening and were well satisfied at not having been criticized. We are pleased to hear that our wor­ thy and efficient County Treasurer, Mr. James Nisli, havii.g made his call­ ing and electlou for the next term of two years sure, proposes to make his residence with us, ids family removing here from Cary the coming week.-- The house they are to occupy Is now being made comfortable for their reception, NOKAH BELL. ON Thursday last, Thanksgiving'day, the hoys got up anethcr Glass Ball ^hoot, aud although tho weather was verv severe, they stood it out well, and some Very good shooting was done. The first m atcli was for those who had never shot at a Glass Ball before, and the first Prize was won by Alson Ostratider, who broke nine balls out of ten. the second by John Murphy, break­ ing seven balls, aud the third by A. C. McCrory, breaking five. The next was open to all, aud tiie first Prize was won by A. C. McCrory, breaking six and tieing withOstrauder,and winning by one ball in shooting off.

Last week "Wt" was Interrupted by an earthquake (as 1 presumed) and the concussion of things around would entitle a person to that belief, but you can imagine how I was taken back when after following where the shat­ tered window-glass lay thickest and being led to Warner & Hamilton's door by the marks of some destructive agency, 1 was met by "Dwight" who read the evidence of astonishment on my countenance and volunteered an explanation, graphic, terce, laconic: "Tip Laughed." That simple ex­ pression would acoount for many won­ derful things and mysterious sounds heared by affrighted listeners on our streets. We are left to wonder how so much noise can comO from so small a source, but fre leave tho unsolvable question and look at him frith pity for fre can see how it injures him. Wo can see it wearing--wearing away on the constitution of the lnflicter, and I think it will be bnta few short years before the--World's Fair In New York, "Dwight" is D. 8. Warner, P. M.4 Tip" Is W. T. Hamilton, ass't P. M. and junior partner in the Hardware Store. A sociable firm it Is too. It Is impos­ sible to maiutain an ill huinor iu that establishment, for if your are not III a good humor they will either joke or provoke you to it. They claim to be Old Settlers, but 1 think they would be older settlers if they were older, yet they lack noue of the stability com­ monly ascribed to the First Settlers. Either will display goods with an alacrity, continuity and variety be. tokening a close attention to business, good selections and an unfailing stock of stoves, cutlery, tin-ware, &c„ Ac., and postage stamps. During the last six weeks they have sold Forty stoves which is probably a fair average of their Autumn trade. They are both gentlemen who will be patronised as long as, and whenever there aro users of Hardware. I antic1 pated the pleasure of speaking a word for S. G. Hatch, of the firm of Hatch & Butler, but are too late a« he has withdrawn from the meruhantlle business. We are sorry to lose Mr. Hatch from that class of enterprises but cannot help congratulating him on the change because the occupation of Grain Dealer is better suited to his energetic but nervous constitution which will uot live Inside of a store's walls. The business of tlie firm will not suffer loss however, for it has been converted into the hands of Wm. But­ ler & Co. who are experienced mer­ chants and have the confidence of the community. They do not put up startling placards or quaint devices to draw a customer by faucy. but depend ou the uueinbelisiied worth of their goods and honorable dealiug. The house works for small profits, hoping to receive tho number they will merit. The Drug Store of G. W. Best A Son flourishes In despite of the downfall of their sign which hung, suspended In the Heavens, but a few hours. They attempted to hang oue across the Street, Chicago style, but the damps tttic tho fro&t and the gale of one night frustrated that ambitious scheme of Georgia's. Such signs may flourish In cities but they are too "Hlfalutin** (high-f-lutterlng) for tho country.-- George" vows he will yet make it swing there and gaily flutter In the breeze to tell folks where ho is George, irrepressible George! Who is better fitted to welcome customors than he, with his buoyant spirits and exuberant exhilirationf Starting as he did with liis father, frith the deter­ mination of keeping things in a tasty condition and with the expressson '•This Drug Store shall not be a Saloon" his pre parations for business were very auspicious. Fair dealiug is the kind found there and wo hope to have him frith us for a long time yet. Ira M. Mallory is still working with his amateur printing press and although the Advertitel has not been issued lately fre see him delivering numerous packHges of job frork. He keeps general assortment of goods, such as Candies, Tobacoes Jewelry, Notions <fccM selected to meet tho public de­ mand ;and he sell) at tho lowest possi bio margin. D. C. Mai lory's la one of those stores vrhich stand unaffected by the ups and downs in the merchantile world. It is managed by Mr. Mallory and has been managed wisely since the early day of Nunda. It is in pleasing contrast frith the modern stylish establishments who I really believe have it as a principle to put the fairest and fattest on top, and count as clear gain all that is made fey trickery. It is seldom that we see a store whose manager stands so ami­ cably between the wholesale trade and a large number of oustomers who havo had intimate dealings frith him tor years. His business could not be other- 1 wise than food, frhen it is good any­ where. Dry Goo&i and Groceries a** what he sells but fre go there to the matrimonial knot clinched, toget our Drafts cashed, to get his Services In the office of Notary Public and, if we are deserving, for almost any favor. Last comes D. P. Wood burn's Boot and Shoe Store. There 1s not much, that can be said about this business for it is one which is affected by the alter­ nations of public economy and ex­ travagance as much if not more thau most others. Business In this line is dull at present but Mr. Wood burn has a fair share with all the rest. What we say for the respectability and honor of the others we say for him, and that equally frith thorn he merits patron­ age. But a lew years ago onr town was all full Of tho bustlo and liveliness of business and many look to that time frith pleasure but I can't. Whenever I look to that time I see stores filled on credit, and men in business with but little capital yet active competition.-- Whether that was the cause or not, I know it was but a short time before some of them were squirming and do­ ing everything to stave off bankruptcy and failure. But to-day there is not an unsound fans'ness firm nor an irrespon­ sible business man in our town. A Merchant Tailor would supply a a want which is felt very much. There Is no reason why this place could not support one yet our peoble are obliged to go to Woodstock or MeHenry (Or or­ der-made clothes. Perhaps I may be accused of flattery for saying the things I have. All the excude I have is that 1 did not start out to find flaws but good qualifies. Our busines men would be superhuman If they had no faults, I see some faults in them all but they aro slight and 1 do not feel it a duty to mention them be­ cause there aro many persous who seem to take pleasure in publishing faults while fefr take note of the many virtucs.

Perhaps fre should apologize for uot fiirnlshliig iU'ms for the past two weeks and a poor excuse is better than uoue.
