SwEDENBoRGIAN FAIR.-This entertain
ment opened promisingly last evening, large
number of ladies and gentlemen being present
despite the bad state of the sidewalks, from
which the snow has but partially been re-
moved. The exhibition by Messrs Dennis,
O'DonncllD and Bachelor, of the Portland
Turnverein, was worth the price of a ticket.
Their performances were far ahead of any of
the acrobats that have exhibited at the thea
tres and circuses in this city, and they re-
ceived generous applause from the audience
Dancing commenced about o'clock to the
beautiful music Of Raymonds Quadrille Band.
Meanwhile "Kriss Kringle," in an adjoining
room, dispensed his Christmas gifts for a small
sum, and fancy articles, evergreens and re-
freshments were disposed of in another room.
This evening the beautiful pantomime OF
''Cinderilla" viii be performed by children,
from four to fourteen years old, who have been
practising it, and the side rooms will be open
for the exhibition of paintings, ''Kriss Kringle"
and the sale of fancy articles and refreshments.

Soldiers of Columbia County

The election is over and we can DO
longer be accused Of interested motives in
speaking to you about who are your
friends. The Republican party? To whom
are Government Offices given Dr..
John, who has made all that he is worth
while you were at the front, has been
rewarded for his " loyalty" by fat po-
sition worth to him 5000 dollars a year.
The Assistant Assessors and bis Clerk
are all " loyal' stay at home patriots.
The Post Masters are all of the same
iIk, and yet 5ou who ventured EQur lives,
md many have come home manned or
broken down in health, are unthought of
save at election lime. Nay, sou are even
cheated oat of the Pensions, Bounlies,
and Bounty Land which are justly your
due while shoddy contractors aud these
Office holders are paid their claims as
soon as presented.
More than this tho party in power have
established Freedmen's Bureau with a
Majo General at its head to take care Of
the able bodied as we'll as the useless ne.
groe', and money is expended ia large
sums to feed and clothe them, and to sens
them to places where they can find em
ployment, yet the white man, even th
white soldier, does not receive the leas
bit of attention from these " loyalists
Ponder on it, and decide if they are you

Our Post-OMce

Is certainly creditablO institution so far
as convenience and appearance is concern
ed, but we would suggest to Mr.. Becklcy
that if the postal regulations, prohibiting
Unauthorized persons from interfering with
the mails were enforced, more general
satisfaction would be given, Not only
are certain louDgers and loafers to be
seen constantly behind "the curtain, y
but in some instances they have made dis.
tribuIions of the mail We also suggest
that all wait for their mail until the whole
be distributed, as the time of some of the
Leaguers is not moro important than 9th
er peoples time.
Of course the Post Master is not to be
dictated to by Democrats and they are
perfectly willing for him 10 fold and sell
his Abolition tracts ere they can be wait
ed on, but they would suggest that as the
" Government" kindly allows them the
privilege of mailing and receiving letters,
they should have some consideration at
the hands of the Post Master.
