Caristmss.- Never, in our acquaintance
with Cedar Falls, was Christmas Day mere
generously and happily regarded than the
one just past Never was so great provision
for the pleasure Of all classes; never 40 many
presents bestowed and received; never so
many children made joyous by the thought
fulness OF friends; never SO free an answer
to the happy wish ; never suth Christmas.
With it's half dozen festivals; its thousands
Of presents; its heart. cheering news from
the soldiers, it surely was an anniversary
calculated to live in the memories of our
people. Even the winters sun unveiled
himself, and cast his bright smiles Of warm
sunshine in prodigal liberality. There was
something ProvidentiaI in the opportune
news from Sherman. 1t furnished Merry
Christmas to homes VI here hearts yearn for
the day when again they shall clasp the loved
brave cncs Of the household, and to firesides
where by other kindness than the kindness
Of G it would got have come. Thus the
lonely soldiers wife, who rocks the cradle in
her cottage room, had a more liberal and &C.
ceptable Christmas present than the proud
Mrs. SHoDDY who .reads her velvet carpet
and sticks up her nose at the poor. Christ

accident on tie C. f. s II. H. R.-The
freight train on the Cedar Falls and Mime
sofa r. r, met with All accident on Friday
last by the breaking Of an axletree, resulting
in Tho running off the track of three cars
loaded with wheat, which were damaged to
n considerable extent. The accident was oc-
casioned by the roughness of the track
which has caused much difficulty since the
opening of the road. No train was run to
Wavcrly on Tuesday evening, the track be
ing encountered by the wreck, and BARNES
ran out an extra for the mail and passengers.
The road will prove of but little real advan-
tage 10 Waverly and the North till the track
can be re laid IN the spring. 1t requires two
hours to make the run Of fifteen miles,
about the same time that would be required
by a respectable pair Of horses When the
frost comes out it will probably be out Of the
question to run trains over the road till il has
a thorough oveIlauljrg. The condition Of
the track is occasioned by reason of its hav-
ing been put down in haste and at time
when the ground was frozen. Afterward. THE
frost to an extent came out of the ground, and
of course the track settled badly in places.
Many o: the rails will have to be replaced by
others, so badly arc they twisted 1t is said
few inches Of snow would put all eifectual
pause to business on this road. Our North

ny, for disposition has been very manifest
on their part to do the best under the cir
cumstances that could be done Another
year and the G. +. & ~ r. r. will be all

BURNING or FALExANDRIA.---If the ac-
counts of the burning of the city of Alex.
andria, by Gen. Banks troops, arc correct,
it was the most Infamous transacti on to be
found in the records of war. The dwoll.
ings of Union men--soldiers in the Union
army-were given 10 the flames, and their
unprotected inmates--women and children
left without shelter or food. A letter
from Cairo, Illinois, to the New York
World, says:
GAS might bo expected, tho women de-
sired to 60 along with the Federal army,
where their husbands had gone. They ap-
piled 10 General Banks with tears and en-
treaties to be- allowed to 60 aboard the
transports. They we're refused They be-
came frantic with excitement and rage
Their screams and piteous cries were
heart rendering. With tears streaming
down their checks, women and children
begged and implored the boats to take them
on board. The officers of the boats were
desirous Of doing SO, but there was the per-
emplory order from General Banks not to
allow any white citizens to 60 aboard. A
rush would have been made upon the boats
hut there stood the guard with fixed bayo-
nets, and none could mount the stage plank
except they bore the special permit of the
Commanding General. Yet room was
found for five or six thousand negroes that
had been gathered in from the surrounding
country But no room could be found for
white women and children, whose husbands
and brothers were in the Federal army,
and whose houses had just been burned
by the Federal torch -

SURGIcAL.-An operation was performed
OH the 7th inst, by DR.. UP De Graft, at
his inirmary in this place, upon the eyes of
Mrs Rachel Brungess, of Keelersburg, in
Wyoming county. This lady is seventy
five years of age, and has been totally
blind for long time. The operation was
performed in the presence Of number of
our citizens, who were curious to know how
the Doctor does these things. In less
time than it takes to relate the facts the
old lady was able to see as we'll as ever,
discera raing all objects ip the room. The
circumstances of her visiting the Doctor
was not from any faith that she might a.
gain be made to see but, as she said, tc
please lady who had been treated and
cured by the Doctor, who had SO constan
tly urged the matter that she finally agreed
to get rid of this teasing. When this old
lady was operated upon, and was enabled
again to see the glorious light Of day, i
was strange to see her break out in esta
cies, blessing the lady who had been in
strumental in getting h'r here, almos
forgetting her real benef'ctor, the Doctor
This is but single instance among the
hundreds who are under treatment in thi.
Institution. The blind and deaf will d,

The DRAFT.-It is singular fact that
large majority Of the men lately drafted
in the various districts are industrious me-
chanics and laborers who cannot we'll be
spared; while many in easy circumstances
and many persons entirely idle or in occu-
pations Of little or no import nee, escape
entirely. We do not reflect in the least on
the mode of drawing, but merely express
regret that men who are so much needed
at home should be compelled to 60 to war.
The demand for laborers and mec chanics is
growing greater every day, and if many
more be taken away the country will cease
to be q producing nation and the people
will become not only non-producsrs, but
burdensome consumers. The farm and the
workshop will be in measure vacated
and as consequence, prices will 90 up to
an alarming extent. What will become OF
country thus drained of the producing
classes remains yet to be seen.
