THE LApY's FRIESD--The December number
OF this favoritc magazine is superb one. The
leading steel engravings in illustration OF the
text,
'Children's children are the crown OF old men,
And the glory Of children are their fathers"
is one that will go home to many hearts. The
engraved ti,e-page is truly beautful-it is
gem of art. 1t represents The Past and The
Future-whlle, around,
"The little birds slug East, and the little birds
sing West"
to use well-known line from Mrs. Browning's
beautiful "Rhyme OF Duchess May )" The Double
Colored Steel Fashion Plate for this number will
be pronounced by the ladies ''snperh, or else
we are very greatly mistaken. Then there
are engravings of the new fashions in jackets,
cloaks, embroidery, coilfurcs bonnets &c. The

This difference of $50. 80 you have now
to pay the bond.holdess, assessors and
collectors, for carrying on the civil war to
make the n@gro your eqnah-for that is
what Is claimed by the radical Abolition
lists who have been ruling the country for
the last four years. In 1860, tea days
work of IA laboring man at ST per day,
would foot the bill in 1865, it will re-
quire trenty days work, at 50 per day,
(Which very few laboring men get) to pay
for the same bill Of goods In 1860, the
farmer could come to town and pay his
bill with two bayels of -four; in 1865,
notwithstanding the high price -four COM
mands, it will take tour barrels to pay the
same bill
The above presents plain statement Of
facts which are brought home to every
householder in the Community, aud espe-
cially every iaboring man who has to pro.
vide for himsefand his family by his da
ly toll and industry, aud this state of
things will continue jast so long as the
government policy Of the last few years is
continued. If the masses want to change,
they will have to dispense with the servi-
ces of their present rulers. There is no
hope for the country but in a speedy re-
turn to the old Democratic policy of for
mer years.-Lancastcr Lntelhy,ncer.

Tamaqua (Pa.) Journat says: The
woods surrounding our town have been on
fire during the past week in every dircc.
ton. At night the sceue presented was
most beautiful-the chains of fire on every
hill resembling the camp-tires of a mighty
army, and reminding US If past scenes in
old Virginia.
The Woodstock (Va.) HeroM says -
"The Fort mountain, about four miles
south of that place is on fire. After night
the fire presents beautiful appearance,

AS there is no human habitation in that
region, it is a mystery how the fire origi-
mated.

IMPORTANT DECISION AT RICHMOND.
On Saturday last, in the court of con-
ciliatiou at Richmond, Va, in the case of
Strllman, Hinrichs & Co., of Baltimore,
plaintiffs, vs. r I. Foster & Co., defen.
dants, judgment was given for plaintiffs
for the sum Of 81, 1896 in United States
currency, with interest, in full satisfac-
ton of the amounts deposited with the de-
PENDANTS by the plaintiffs on the 23d day
of December, 1862, and GU the 9th day
of January, 1868. One of the Richmond
papers says:
GAS our readers are already aware, this
suit was brought to recover the real value
of certain sums of Confederate treasury
notes deposited by plaintiffs with defcn-
dan's and invested by the latter without
the order of depostors, in Confederate
bonds. The principle involved in said
case'was one Of deep interest to our cti-
Gems, and the precedent thus established
is one of the greatest Importance. Under
this decision the banks, as well as pri-
vate individuals, may be held responsible
for the value Of monies deposited with
them, said value being estimated by the
gold basis at the date ol'd9poeit. Sun.
