The Romance and the Reality.

These lovely, bracing, wooing, moon
itevenings---ah! but the girls do wish there
we're sleighing-we know they do, by a
dozen unmistakable signs. Last week,
seemed to promise that by this time, the
congealed prismatic rain-drops would fall
90 generously as to mantle our yet green
earth-that the keen, cold winds, from the
icy north, would set in rapid motion the
lapguid blood, and bring bloom to the pale
cheek, and brightness to the lustreless eye
and, as naturally as light follows dark
ness, that the jipgling of sleigh-bells and
the free gushing melody of joyous hearts
would be ringing out together on every
highway; and the steady tread of the
horses feet, the rustling, glancing, skim
ming of the rapid runners, and the sweet
est Of all music, happy human voices, would
combine in trinity of harmony to make
hundreds forget all sorrow, and reyel in the
glories Of sleigh-riding by moonlight
WGll,we have grand, clear SKY, bestudded
with its myriads Of jewels, among which
the calm moon smiles beBgnantly down,
and few floating clouds rejecting back
her light-wo have the pure, cool air, a
luxury for tie Louse-confned and business
pressed lungs to breathc-we have the la
dies, small and larger, willing to go; and
also manly youth, and manhood not con.
,eniionally youthful, just as willing to ac-
company them Old sleighs, buffalo robes,
aud "merry bells" could be improviscd in
double quick particular metcr-all that's
wanting, is, THE SNOW. They had the
article, 'few days" at Bellefonte; they
are luxuriating in it some ways Nor ard /;
but bcreabouts it Is winter-minus the
snow. 10 Que who like the writer was
brought up (alias ''raised'') where they
had two to five months Of sleighing only
interrupted by Snow banks that hid the
Fences, the prospect for genuine sleighing
this l9'h o! Deceaiber, A.D. 1899, IS any
thing but brilliant : We can only enjoy it
by vivid recollection and heart stielgrLen-
ing Imagination.
We will just own up, however, and he

Renaissance.

This is not the first long delay in organ
izing the House. In December, 1919
Congress met on the Sd of the MONTH
The caucas candidates for Speaker were
Robert Winthrop, Taylor Wing How.

fered by Robert Toombs, and tina. gentle
man, with Messrs Stephens of Geo, Hi.
lard of Ala, ,Cabell of Fla, and some 9th

for Mr.. Gentry Of Tenn, thus preventing
the election Of Mr.. Winthrop. The week
was voted away. Mr.. Gentry arrived Oh
tie following Monday, and at once with
drew his name, and then Toombs and
company wasted their spite On Mr. More
head of Ky. The Democrats dropped

ming his vote up to within two Of a victory
Brown had succeeded in getting some Free
Soil votes, but the trick was expoeed and
he was dropped as bad timber. Subse-
queutly Messrs. Winthrop and Wilmot
withdrew their names, and a rambling
skirmish ensued, with no concentration BY
any party. The next week the Wings
and Democrats held caucuses and agreed
finally that plurality of votes should be
deemed an election. The Toombs party
worked desperately to defeat this arrange
ment, and used up whole day in talking
against time and making a disturbance
generally. They were at length put down,
and the members of both parties agreed
to ballot three times more, and if no choice
was made by majority Of the votes, the
person having the highest vote on the
fourth trial should be declared the Speak
cr The three trials were liz vain, and then,
on the sixty-fourth ballot, Howell Cobb
was chosen, having 102 votes, to 100 for
Winthrop, s for Wilmot, 4 for Morehead
and floating. BY this means the House
was organized on the 22d of December.

Sr. LOUIS, Dec. 19.-We have despatch,
cs from Independence dated yesterday,
stating that the trouble at Lawrence has
been settled, by the people promising to
deliver up the offenders, obey the laws Of
the Territory, recognize the Governor as
such, and conduct themselves for the fu-
tnre as a law abiding people. They refuse,
however, to deliver up their arms. The
volunteers from Missouri have been dis
banded, and have returned home. CThis
is a Slavery account of the settlement,
and, undoubtedly, is to be received with
that allowance.]

dian affairs, arrived at Council Rufus yes
terday, from the Black Feet country. He
has concluded treaties with the several
tribes.

The ship Constitution, of New York,
arrived at Liverpool on the 4th, and on

chOr in the river Mersey, was observed to
be on fire. Assistance was Immediately
rendered, but sho burned all day, and at
night was scuttled in 20 feet of water.
Affairs in the Crimea are unchanged.
and the papers furnish no remarkable
events there.
The rnmors of peace are still abundant,
but unauthenticated. Nevertheless Con-
soils went up upon the strength of these
rumors.
1t is vero noticeable circumstances
that the assertions of the British press Oh
the subject of negotiations are quite at va
rance with those of influential continen-
tai papers. -
The London Times, and D'Isracli's Or

asserting that peace is near at hand, and
that Austria is about to address an uIti-

threat Of breaking of negotiations with
ner, to accept those conditions Of peace
which the Western Powers can admit at
present, out which they viii not assent to

A Railroad through the longest way Of
the county, and its mos. populous portion,
would not only serve Court purposes admi-
rably, but answer also all the business
wants of its two largest towns, (Lewisburg
and Mflinburs,) and be quite near the
next two largest towns (New Berlin and
Hartleton.) Those towns and townships,
at the greatest distance from the rivers at
the two ends of the projected Lewisburg,
Centre & Spruce Creek Railroad, Of course
are most in need of that connection. In
the middle of the line (Centre county,
they have far more interest than at either
end, Huntingdon or Union counties And
at the extreme point in our county, they
feel more deeply their want than at the
junction itself
We say this, not to excuse any luke
varmuess or wan. of liberality anywhere,
but to point out the obvious duty Of those,
who are most interested making the great
est efforts and the heaviest investments in
the work Those who are to be most bene-
fitted, nnst put forth the greatest efforts.
Thus Hartley township has really more ne
eessity for the Road, and as consequence
should take more stock in it, than Buffa-
Zoe township with higher valuatiou.-
Limestone and West Buffaloe, with less
valuation, would be more benefited by the
Road than East BuffalOe and Kelly. Mif-
fiDburg is at present much more in need
Of the Road than Lcwisburg, and-espe-
cially after having escaped the Court
House tax-should take more stock in
proportion to her ability.
Hartley, Limestone, Mifilinburg, and
West Buffaloe, have tho means, and mani
festly should take the lead in this work
Buffaloe, Lewisburg, and East Bufaloo
should follow close in their track; but all
parts Of the county are more or less inter
ested-Dry Valley and Mussers Valley are
in.erested-and should lend hand in this
propitious emergency. We should oil re-
member that the prosperity Of one portion
Of the county, benefits all portions a. last.
A railway all along our eastern border, and
smother from the centre on that eastern
limo to the extreme Western point of the
triangle, would leave our county better
served for Railways than any other in the
State. The former we have; the latter
we way have, if we will it.

Mr.. Fuller, of Pennsylvania, explained
his position, opposing the further agitation
of tie Slavery question. If he had been
here the last Congress, he would have op-
posed all territorial legislations, but he
would not vote for the restoration of the
Missouri line, and would admit Kansas
with or without slavery. He would leave
that to the people.
