SPRING has fairly come. We yesterday heard the bluebirds, those welcome harbingers, joyfully proclaiming the fact.
R. KRAUSE has now a large stock of tailors’ trimmings, which he offers very low either at wholesale or retail.

SIGNS OF THE TIMES. – Kent and Co. sold a fine farm of 160 acres, a few days since, to a gentleman from New York, for all cash down. That is an evidence of better times.

ST. PATRICK’S DAY broke on the world yesterday morning clear and pleasant – a real spring morning. This, so contrary to the traditional practice of the weather on the anniversary of the eminent apostle of Ireland and exterminator of reptiles, brought out the sons and daughters of Hibernia in large numbers and newest fashions, to take an airing on the promenades. There was no public celebration of any kind that we heard of, but we presume were plenty of parties in the evening.
