even 10 an inactive neutrality, in the event
that the policy Of his administration should
violate tho pledges Of his election. Fidelity

This contingent declaration Of war against
Mr.. Buchanan will, doubtless, have the de-
sired effect. Mr.. Buchanan will not violate
4" the pledges Of his election" with such
symptoms Of row before him. As much
as he may desire to see Kansas Free State,
This partizans at the North make this strange
declaration) he can pursue no policy which
will tend to this. Fettcred and hampered
by these pledges, 50 adroitly alluded to BY
the Enquirer, he will find it impossible to
satisfy both the North and South. There are
those, even, of the Republican party in the
North, who have some hopes that the infiu-
ence Of Mr.. Buchanan's administration will
not be against making Kansas Free State,
at any rate they think it may act, at least,
inditierently, and protect the rights of the
settlers. A careful reading of this article,
and consideration of the expressions of his
Southern supporters in Congress, afford no
ground to hope that Mr.. Buchanan will
dare to brave the whole South by taking q
course, which they say. and with truth,
would be in tho teeth of the principles upon
which he was elected.

IIEy CLAN SUPPER. The Hen Clam Sup
per and Tea party given by the Ladies of the
Proyident Association, in Central Hall on
Thursday evening oflast week. went of ine-

company in the best of spirits. Jonathan

by Richard Chapman, Rev. Mr.. Gould, Rev.
Mr.. Nichols, Louis o. COwan, Leonard An

Some $3.50 including contribution OF a
one hundred dollar bill sent in by" a friend
and some smaller contributions, were realized
by the sale of tickets to the entertainment
and passed over to the Providcnt society for
the aid Of the suffering poor in the city
The claims of the Proyident association up
on the public regard are very great. BY
the adoption Of systematic measures, the as
ISOLATION is enabled to make its charities al
ways effective at the right time, and in the
right place, and its ability to afford relief to

Afforded it by the contributions Of a gener-
Gus public. We are sincerely glad, that
such handsome addition was made to its
funds on the occasion referred to. and hope
that the public will be ready on all occasions

may make to obtain means to relieve the
poor "who are always with us"

ASKArrSo FRoLic. On Monday evening,
the entire force Of our Office, including our
selves, Office clerk, foreman, Journcymcn
and journeywomen, carriers, and the mp,
ten in all, went on skating frolic on the
river above the railroad bridge. The night
was little dark, but darkness is good
cloak for awkwardness ON skates, and favor
able on this account for new beginners and
those who had been out Of practice for a
long number of years. Twenty-Five years
ago we were reg ,rded as some" on skates,
could do the plain and fancy skating about
as well as most boys, and our remembrance
of the exciting sport has always been vivid.
On the present occasion We improved pair
Of elegant spring skates from the shop of the
Messrs. Mckinney, in the WATERFORD block.
They were kindly loaned us by the firm, and
with them, Notwithstanding the long years
that have passed since wc werc on skates,
we found that we had not quite forgotten
the flourishes. With such skates, and we
attribute our success t. them, we were hard
to beat. The Messrs. McKenncy will please
accept our thanks for the skates, which are
freely given, and no hardness entertained
against the firm for any thumps we may
have got on the ice. The professional skaters
as well as fishing. fowling and hunting
sportsmen will find at McKenney's an as
.ortment of all kinds of goods in the sport
ing line, which will puff themselves by their
beauty and excellence.

Christmas.

The merry days of Christmas have come.
St. Nicholas has been his customary rounds,
leaving his gifts Of toys and sweetmeats for
the little ones, and his presents Of value to
the older ones. The morning was stormy
one, but happier in consequence, no doubt,
were the groups who were up betimes to 500
what the joval little saint had thurst into
their stockings. We fanced Us we laid in
our bed that we heard the little fellow say
with chuckle rs he passed over, filling the
row Of thirteen stockings, Of our household,
putting worked slippers into the stocking Of
the grandsire, and rattle into the young
Fremonter's, giving something for all, "a
great many children this year besides some
grown ones, but there is something for all.
l will ell quick and DO of. There are other
places to visit" And so it is. Christmas
season is becoming to US what it is in "Mer-
RE England" as the years roll on, and the
wish Of merry Christmas as it goes from lip
to lip, Is every year becoming more general
and more hearty. Well, be itso, these sea-
sons of interchanging of gifts, and festival
rejoicing of the household, can hardly be
too numerous, for they strengthen the ties
Of affection and bind still closer the family
circle, while they expand and purify the
heart. We best commemorate the advent OF
the master when we remember the kindness
and tenderness which he exhibited towards
chill dren, and his universal sympathy, and
strive in some degree to initiate his example.
To do this properly we should not forget
those religious obseryances without which
there would be no meaning to the festival.
This and the giving of gifts" remember
ing "that every good and perfect gift COM
eth from our Father in Heaven" would
make the christmas season holy as well as
a happy one. o.r.... ...
Wishing all of our readers happy
christmas, and hoping that by continuing
their subscriptions to our union, that the
union between us may DO as lasting as our
lives, and as happy as the cultivation Of
kindly giving, and religious spirit can make
it we pass toward the new year.

HIt is stated that recent Investigations
show that the Indian corn crop ofthe United
States is Of more value than any other agri-
cultural production, not even excepting cot
ton. The culture Of corn has wonderfully
increased of late years-its ratio Of increase
being far greater than any other product.
From 1899 to lsi9, per census returns, the
increase wss fity.cight per cent. Wool is
the next highest, its increase being fifty per
cent. cotton twenty.four; oats twenty,
and wheat sixteen. The cotton opof 1851
was 997 900, 900 ofpounds, valued at sll2,-
900, 900, while the corn crop of 1850 was
500, 600, 900 Of bushels, which at the lowest
possible price at which il can DO estimated,
is offar greater value than the cotton crop.
