There are charges as follows: Brandy, 1916 ::

Ihls town IS IN a hourishing condition. Its
situated somewhere on the map, and we hear
does not very well support the CoEes Co. Ledger,
paper devoted to its local interests, and in
which We find more smart paragraphs than in
any other journal upon our exchange list We
sympathise with the editor of that sheet in not
being able to buy cord of wood on credit while
he is furnishing the inhabitants of his village
with paper which they should be proud Of, if
the dolts had sense enough to know the differ
euce between stolidity and originality. Still the
Ledger takes an interest in what is going on in
the burg" and we are indebted toit for the fol.
lowing literary intelligence:
Last Friday evening we visited the Young
rs, Reading Room; Museum and Menagerfe at
taehed-then in full blast at the Presbyterian
church. Il is needless to say that We were en-
teTtaiHcd. The order Of exercises was, princi-
paliy, Essays-of which number wereread.-
The first, Of which We heard but part, was
very good-compose principally of exhortations
to the youth to store their minds with useful
knowledge, and become illustrions. The second
was bore. From the studied difficulty with
which it was read, We are inclined to think the
reader was father to the production. The "nu6p
was supposed to consist in a total disregard of
all rules ofgremmar and orthography. Anoth-
er spoiled six OF eight sheets of excellent fools
cap in diluting the famous idea of Solomon
There is nothing new under the Sun" An
nother-intehsely scientific in phraseology, pro-
foundly imperyious tn the light of reason, and
carefully pruned of all vestiges of philosophy or
common sense-treated of ''Autumnai Stream
ers, as seen by our local astronomers, through
the medium of a stuff glass of Bourbon. The
essay was embellished with profusion Of high
sounding words, which "little meaning or rele.
yancy bore" a half dozen pages ofthe diction-
airy would have been equally elifyiDg. Au-
tumnnl Steamers, as exhibited at the church
last Friday evening, were species Of Aurora
Bore-all-us. An essay entitled 'Be in. Earnest, /"
read as if the author was trying to make an ass
of himself-was in earnest in the ''enterprise,
and was succeeding remarkably.
| Alter the essays, general melee of the Seqra-
6GHs erlti-cusses took place Bromweil let fly

on the mug; first blood for Bromwell Nc got
home with a spanking upper cut on BIS left

stopped and countered, and the slipped DR.. bored
our doctor back to the ropes and our doctor, IN
turn, bored the audience. Referee called time,
and nobody came to the scratch, except a young
gentleman afflicted with the itch.
On the whole, werather like the Young Mems

tsiny. We get enough just to make US miser-
able about the thing, and to keep Us from forget
ing thateyer there was such thing as laid
cable that turned out to be of no use to any
body. Here's the dispatch that came over the
wires yesterday, on the subject:
New YoRk, Dec. s1-Cyrus VI. Field re-
ceived, yesterday, from New PoundIand, dis
patch Of nature calculated to revive the droop-
ing hopes Of the friends of the Atlantic Cable.
On Saturday last the Superintendent telegraph
ed Mr.. Field, that some very good currents were
recsived.and that the word s'HenIey" was dis
tinetly recognised at about the hour, when &C
cOrding to adVices By the Arabia, Mr.. Henley's
large machine was to haveb working.

lN-'WoMEN OF BEAUTY an exquisite holiday
volume, published by Derby and jackson, and
edited by Frank Goodrich, we find many bio
graphical details of interest, that, we imagine,
are not generally known.
In his sketch of Victoria, abiding to the.
poverty of the Duke of Kent, previous to the,
birth of his royal daughter, he states:
BE was anxious that his offspring (the present
Queen should be born in the country where it
might be destined to rule; but lie was absolute.
" without the means necessary for the journey.
He was residing at Amorbash, small town in
Germany, and from there wrote to his relatives
and friends in England for the requisite remit
tances In one of his letters he wrote thus
The interesting situation Of the Duchess causes
me hourly anxiety; and you, who so well know
my views and feelings, can easily appreciate how
eagerly DESTROYS ! am to hasten our departure
for old England. The event is thought likely to
occur about the end of next month. Ny wish
is that it may take place about the 4th of June,
As that is tho birthday of my reverend father
and that the child, too, like him, may be Brit
on born.
The royal and noble friends to whom the
duke had applied for assistance, declined afford.

obscure condition. He arrived with his wife at
kensingtOn Palace in time fos his daughter to
sec the light upon British soil; upon the oath of

BIZ all means, we say, let's bring This English
and American dispute about independent sover-
eighty and protectorate in Central America to an
issue. And it is therefore with considerable sat
isfactiOn that We read this dispatch from Mobile.
We don't suppose it will amount TO anything
but still, IT may: -
MOBILE, Dec. 19.-Tt IS stated here on the
best authority, that the schooner Muscan sailed
for Nicaragua, with the tirm determination ON
the part of the leaders of the expedition, not to
nllOE-the British or any other foreign power to
stop'them without resisting till blood is drawed
their purpose being to test the disputed points
of the international law, OF to compel England
to make an early exposure of the grounds of
her assumed protectorate over the San Jlan
River and Its adjacent territory. It's thought
probable, however, that they wil not fall in
with any vessels Of war whatever.
IT will be remembered that jeff Davis re-
