Show Timo to Reform tbe Calendar. An ingenious Yankee, with an eye to adjusting himself to his environment, has moved a reorganization of the calendar. cal-endar. Winter, be contends, should begin be-gin on January 1 and include March; spring should commence with April and include June; July, August and September Septem-ber should constitute Bummer, and the fall, beginning with October, should not end till after Christmas. His new calendar cal-endar would play the mischief with traditions, tra-ditions, but it would come nearer to actual experience than does tbe present antiquated European article. The procession pro-cession of the equinoxes is too slow altogether alto-gether for the American climate. Facts are on the Bide of reform, and if the weather does not speedily repent and bring forth fruits more meet for repentance repent-ance than rank grass and dropsical potatoes, pota-toes, the newly established department of agriculture will be called on to revise the calendar.
