We announce^ once, and called at-
tention/to it a second tinie, that the
Fruiters were bent ou keeping Christ
mas, and that we therefore, eould not
pay onr weekly visit during the week
between Christmas and Xew Year.
We Row state for the information
of all, who are yet wondering what
the Visitor is about, drat the Editors,
the Printers -and the Readers were
all too intent on the festivities of tlie
season to attend to the office; but
that now we are hard at work again,
and ready to receive communications,
subscriptions and P. O. orders.
