The juvenile portion of the population greed ily invest the casual nickel in the traditional firecracker. Oh. that we were a hoy again 1 ()h! for a few more enterprising speculators in town, us there is yet a vacancy in the chick en and egg traffic. We shall certainly anticipate a lively time at the supper on Thursday night, as most every body is expected out ; and although we art “very poor’ we shall be “shoor” A certain eminent attorney in town contri butes 250 pounds of Ham for the Christmas supper, nicely Cooked. Our senior being rather busy this week col lecting iij) little bills to invest in ('hristmas toys for his uiina rous progeny makes us responsible for anything iu a local way in this issue Mr llunnurn is making preparations to ex tract the juice from the famous yellow pine - If it was any of our business we might speak of several little important public matters that needs some attention, for instance those uncov ered holes on the streets, called public wells, the breaking in of the passway over our canal, and the somewhat dilapidated condition of the well at the Court House, but fear that we might be considered as meddling, and, you know, that’s wrong in an editor. The well at the Court House, is conceded to be no body's business, we believe, and therefore may be spoken of by us, since an editor has as much right to be considered nobody us any one. B. < >ur senior wishes us to explain that though both our names unfortunately begins with ‘B,’ we, the junior, are reponsible for all articles appearing over that initial. Our hint to our friends elsewhere suggested to him the impor- tance of some explanation, for fear otherwise, lie remarked, that our readers in getting our names mixed up might think that he was running short on socks. We believe no expla nation for such reason as lie assigns necessary, lor our readers are advised that he has lmt very recently embarked in this profession, but are, ! nevertheless, ever'ready to gratify. B. The extreme tightness of the money market and the failure of our heretofore pronpt laun dress to put in an appearance will somewhat excuse ns for once in our eventful existence de parting from the t ime-honored custom of hang ing out the favorite Christmas gifts receptacle. But we are somewhat resolute, and have deter mined that rather than deprive Pur numerous friends the pleasure of proving their kind re membrance of us and out past Herculean ef forts we will substitute a meal bag, the which will be found suspended in front of our sanc tum, in the which may be safely lain any iittle token of appreciation. We have secured the services of one able-bodied man and two little boys for the day, the former to see that no ar ticles of value is extracted from the bag, and the latter to empty the contents as fast as tilled •lust clash in your goodies B. The shattered remains of what was once a string band organization, known ns (ho ‘Twi light Seienadors ’ will furnish music onChrist m.us night for the assembled morality of this burg and vicinity. Yours, affectionately, will attempt a lead, Ike will follow as second, Hall will risk.one eye on the bass, while, perchance, John W. will play something serious accompa nying it with an appropriate bass. The Sun day School will use that soul-stirring hymn beginning : ‘ Oh I feels so avfully'sholly Fhen dor band pegins to blay.’’ People' who have noses with ends so red that they illuminate the inner recesses of other peo ple’s buxines, are invited to wear a sock on them. W<> omitted to call atention in our last issue to the professional card of John F. Delucey, Esq., No. 8, M & R. R. R. Col. D. is in every way worthy of the patronage of a generous public, having combined in him the essenti il qualifications of competency, reliabil ity, and untiring 1 energy, as also a suffi ciency of pure gentlemanly dignity to impress even the stranger of his real worth. The La Crosse (Wis.) Democrat says that a curiosity, in the form of an Indian woman eighty-five years old and thirty-six inches high, is on exhi bition in that city.

I had a heart that doted once In passion’s boundless pain, And though the tyrant I abjured, I could uot break his chain, But now, that fancy’s fire is quenched, And ne’er can bum anew, Ive bid to love, for all my life, Adieu, adieu, adieu. I’ve known, if ever mortal knew, * , The spells of beauty ’s thrall, And if my song hath told them uot My soul hath felt them all. But passion robs my pcs.ce no more, And beauty’s witching sway, Is now to me, a star that’s fidl’n, . A dream that’s passed away. Hail welcome, tide of life. When no tumultous L 1 ows roll, How wondrous to myself appears This halcyon calm of soul. The wearied bird blown o’er the deep, Would sooner quit its shore, Than I would cross the gulf again, That time has brought me o’er. Why say they angels feed the flame? Oh ! spirits of the skies, Can love like ours, that dotes on dust, In heavenly bosoms rite ? Ah ! no, the hearts that most have felt its power, The best can tell, That peace on earth itself begins, When love lias bid farewell.
