Minor .florals. In eir intercourse with the world, we find many men, and some women, who have but a poor conception of what might be termed minor morals. And if editors would allude to each things in a practical way, it might be useful. No long sermons upon the subject, however, can be tolerated. Let us then call attention to two subjects at present. There are three turnpike roads leading to this place, all of which are very narrow; consequent, ly teams passing each other should doit with
liberality and conrtesy. Neither courtesy, morals or law will allow the strong, heavy team to drive the slender carriage entirely off the rosd. Every man, no matter in what conveyance he Is travelling, has an equal right to a full share of the road . But the greatest outrages that are committed,

But you can safely say those who are guilty of such acts are not entitled In any respect to the appellation of fentlemeu. Thry have not learned the first lesions of morality and courtesy.

like to see this lw enforced in a few cases. It is the only way to learn some men that there are such laws. The other subject we refer to, is seating our congregations in churches on popular occasions. Bill few of our churches are large enough to sent all that come on each occasions, and frequently the services are greatly disturbed by those who do not know what is right and proper at such times. Frequently there are ladies
euough to fill the church, and whether it would be proper for old men of sense to leave their svats and go out of the church to give place to some ignorant, vain girl, who had come to
hurch to show a gnudy calico dress, is doubtful. But it is proper on all occasions for oung men and boys to give pUce to the ladies, until the commencement of the services. Alter that time we consider it highly improper for any lady to crowd herself in, during the services, and compel gentlemen to leave their seats disturb

September furnished about two weeks of the mildest weather of the season. Soon after the middle it became very cold and frosty—ice forming a quarter of an inch in thickness.
October produced more than its usual share of
cool weather—frost and ice common. November was cold and blustering. Snow fell so as to make sleighing. December was mild and comfortable. We have thus given a brief summary of the "Cold Summer of 1816," as it was called. The Winter was mild. Frost and ice were common

a failure. The passage of the adjustment bill by the Senate has thrown a wet blanket over th enthusiastic disunionism of the fire-eaters. The South will not nullify, no State will seceie, because Congress does not pass the line of 36 deg. 30 min., nor because California, with her own defined boundaries, shall come into th Union. Nothing but the passage of the Wilmol Proviso wo uld induce any one of the Sonth.r. States to attempt in earnest to go ont ef th Union and that Provito cannot be passed. It i. a defunct humbug.
