The Old and New Year.

To-day wednesday, commences the
New Year, and with it the second half of
the Nineteenth Century. What changes
have taken place in the history of the
world during the lapse of the last fifty
years! The great principle Of Progress
sion has been more fully developed with
in that brief period, than in five hundred
years previously. Republicanism was
then doubtful experiment-our country
was feeble and impoverished, unknown
and unrespected-the Clays, the Web
sters, the Cases, the Jacksons, the Ben
tons, were names unknown in our history.
Jefferson, Hamilton, Burr, Adams, Henry,
the great men of the last age, have all
gone down to honorable graves, and their
names have become part Of our national
renown. From infancy the Union has
grown to a giants size and strength, and
is now the acknowledged mistress Of the
seas" and invincible on the land. The
States of the confederacy have increased
from thirteen to thirty, with room enough
left in our vast territories for a dozen
more. Nearly all the great benevolent
associations of the world have sprung
into existence, and religious missionaries
have planted the Standard of the Cross
in nearly every kingdom and cline under
heaven. The application of steam to
travelling on land and water, has literal
ly annihilated space" and brought the
nations of the earth to regard each other
as neighbors and brethren, while the tell
egraph has transformed the lightning in
to 'post-rider' and bearer of despatch
es.' Tyranny is everywhere relaxing its
grasp-the dove of Peace and the eagle
of Liberty are pluming their wings for
a still more glorious Highland the diffu-
sion of Education and Religion are fast pre-
pairing the way for that "good time" which
the poets and prophets have so long been
looking for.
Can the coming half century be as proli-
fc of great events as that which has just
now closed Perhaps so, and an hundred
fold increased: for who shall limit the in
genuity of man or foretell the DEGREES OF
Providence I! The wonders Of 1900 -
may we be there to see - Meanwhile,
we wish many "Happy New Year, to
our subscribers and friends, wherever they
are.

A MIsER AND his WIFE-Peter Thellusson

was an inordinate love Of money. He died
July. 1897, worth upwards OF E70O,OOO, and
by his singular will, after bequeathing to his
wife and children about e 100000, directed
that the residue Of his property should be
vested in the purchase OF estates, to accumulate
until such time as all has children, and the
male children of his sons and gvandsons, shall
die, and then the lineal male descendants, who
must bear the name Of 1'hellusson shall inherit

the sums of money left by the testator could
have been invested at FIVE per cent. compound
interest, they would amount to more than
10000. 900 s'erling. No more wills of this
kind can be made, for Act 4, Geo. Nv. limits

Anniversary of the Sons of Temper
ANC0.

The members of Bantam Division s. of
T., celebrated the fourth anniversary of the
Division, on Thursday evening last The
brethren of the order assembled at their
Hall at = o'clock, and we're soon after join.
ed by "Pine Grove" OF Wolco,tville, which,
by special invitation, came en- n,asse, ac>
companied by lis appropriate officers. At
half past 3, the members of "Banlam" and
"Pine Grove" Divisions, and the Cadets
of Temperance" moved in procession, un>
der the direction of DR.. Vail and Col.
Baldwin as Marshals, to the Methodist E.
piscopal Church, where very eloquent and
appropriate address was made by the Rev.
HENRY J. Fox, of Hartford, the G. w. P. of
the Grand Division of the State of Connec>
cut. The house was FlLLED-an event
which has not occurred before at temper
ance meeting in Li,chfeld for many years,
and a fact that speaks much for the fame
of the speaker on the occasion.
After the close Of the exercises at the
church, the procession was e.formed and
proceeded to the Hall, and from thence to
Cheeseman's United States Hotel, where
about go members of the Order partook Of
a bountiful repast prepared for them by the
worthy host. The festival was followed by
variety of sentiments, and remarks were
made by Brothers Fox, Adams, Ward, Peck
of Norfolk. Calhoun of Wolcottville, &C.
Severa! OF the neighboring Divisions were
represented on the occasion. and cheering
reports were brought from all quarters Of
the prosperity Of the Order and the prog
ress of the good cause for the promotion of
which the members have banded themselves
together.

Most of the claims upon the northern
rivers were owned by large companies,
who came out last season. These COM
NAMES have expended immense sums OF
money in damming the streams and cut
tinc races, with the expectation of reali-
ling large fortunes in very short time;
but most of them have been greatly dis
appointed. The bars and beds of these
streams, which were supposed to contain
large deposits of gold, haze yielded moth
sng--a total failure aUith scarcely any e'c-
ception. Inconsequence of these failures,
good many have become discouraged,
and would gladly return home had they
the means but the only alternative now
is, to go into the old diggings and work
for what little they can find. 1t is true,
some are doing welI-large fortunes have
been made, and men at this time are ma
king fortunes; but | can say with safety,
that not one man out of a hundred Is ma

find over one hundred close at hand, who
are not making board know it has
been said by many in the States, that
those who could not make fortune In
California, were worthless men who
would not work at home : but would

look for yourselves, and when you nave

shovel, return to your camp at night with
perhaps only gold dust enough to buy
little hard bread and bacon for your sup

your blanket under tree until morning,

TreeS-Their Preservation, &c.
No. vi.

Every consideration suggests the ne
cessity Of preserving our forests from de-
struction, or Of supplying the loss of the
old, by the cultivation of the new, wher-
ever a scarcity begins to appear. The
subject is worthy of the patronage of
Government. Not that Government can
or should exercise any absolute control,
except over its own lands. Here The con-
troll should be absolute, and might be ex>
ercised in the way of annexing a condi~
ton to the sale requiring certain proper
ton of every lot or section sold, or given
as bounty or otherwise. to be reserved as
woodland, under the penalty of a forfeit
ure of every acre of the reserve that.
should be cleared, unless an equal area
should be set apart in its stead, for the
cultivation of new growth of timber,
and the cultivation actually carried on.
Such should be the course, both of the.
General and the State Governments. In
other cases, the influence of Government
might be exercised in the way OF recon-
mcndations, the offspring of premiums,
DC. The amount reserved should not be
less than one-fourth. (better one-third,l
at first, though in the course of time, it
might be somewhat diminished. The
proper proportion, if it could be deter
mined, would be that in which the annual
growth should equal the annual consunlp-
ton. This would be the least that could
be allowed, and this would allow none for
extra occasions. Better then to err on
the side of too much than too little.
Our duty to ourselves, to our country,
and to posterity, requires the preservation
of large proportion of forest or timber
land. and the cultivation Of a new growth.
wherever there is any appearance OF a
growing scarcity. The man who does
not feel an interest in this subject, appears
to me little entitled to the name of patri-
OF or benefactor. The general influence
of trees and forests upon the appearance
character and climate of country, the
influence upon the present and prospec>
tive value of land, and the benefits TO be-
conferred on coming generations, are so
many unanswerable arguments in favor
of immediate and energetic action on the
subject.
The common objection, awe must
wait so long before we can derive any ADJ

DREADFUL RESULT OF INTEMpERANcE.
At nine o'clock on Wednesday night,
as the train from Boston was passing
through Harrison Square, Dorchester, a
drunken Irishman was found to be lying
upon the track, and was run over, both
his legs being crushed in a terrible man
ner. He lived near the place of the acct
dent. A number of physicians were
called, who, upon consultation, decided
not to amputate his legs, as he would
probably die in any event. His name
was Mahoney.- Boston Traveller.
