To those friends that were at the Parsonaye on New Year’s eve: You will please accept our sincere thanks for that call which, you rendered so very pleasant to us, and espe T cia-lly to that committee which provided the “good things” for the appetite. Indeed, such calls are very pleasant, as we feel some S4O better in purse. Please remember, friends, should you wish to make another cal], “the latch-string hangs out.” May the good Lord bless you all an hundred fold. C. B. & R. A. Mock. The Vainest Fowl.—The general opinion is that the vainest of all birds is the peacock. We think the goose when entering a barn through the doorway invariably bobs her head to avoid hitting the top. Evidently every goose thinks herself alleast fifteen feet high. (pT-Ex-President Pierce is at Naples, and expects to pass the winter there and at the Island of Capri. In the spring he willgo to Rome. The health of Mrs: Pierctf is not yet fully restored. j
