Christmas Story.

We present to our weekly patrons to-day
a Christmas story, written expressly for the
JOURNAL by DIR. J. BRYAN PURCELL, OF this
city, entitled "The Spiders Nest" We
ara certain our readers will have reason to
thank US and the gifted writer for thus
remembering them during this return OF
the festive season. The children will be
grateful, and those of larger growth can
and will turn with pleasure and profit
from the sickening record of corruption
and rnalignity, which our duty as journal
lists compels us to publish, daily occurring
in Raleigh and Washington, to this beau
tiful tale of domestic life, of love and adj
venture, intoxicating lessons of morality
and duty.

The Legislative PROCEEDINGS

OF the Senate of the 10Th inst. were princi-
pally confined to communication present
ed by MIR. Robbins, relative to the pur-
chase of site for the Penitentiary, author
lied by the last session of the Legislature.
MIR. Robbins. as member of the commit
tee, says
1t is well known that entirely disapprove of
the action taken in the matter by the majority of
said committee Eight thousand acres of poor
land fifteen or twenty miles from the site of the
Pententiary, were purchased by the ms jority, at
t,oelUe and a half dollars per acre, when the same
land changed hands at sirty.1tue cents per acre
only week or two before that time. Certainly,
nothing coald be more extraordinary. The pur-
chase of such land at any price, and in such place,
was useless and anwise, and il my opinion, was
not authorlz I'd by the spirit and intent of the act
under which mat committee was appointed.
After the majority had indicated their decision
was anxious to have the whole subject submit
ted again to this General Assembly for its iudg-
ment, and must express my dispIeasure and
surprise at the haste with which the papers were
executed and he purchase money paid thus ma
king the bargain as far as possible irreversibIe
The general plan of the institution contempla-
ted by the majority, I deem unwise and even
visionary; and do not consider myself therefore
q suitable person to assist in carving it out.
For the foregoing and other reasons, 1 beg that
l may be excused from further service on the
committee. and that some other Senator may, if
it is thought desirable, bs appointed in my stead
Very respectfully
WM. IL. ROBBINS.
Raleigh, Dec. 10, 1868.
After some remarks, which passed be-
teen Messrs. Lassiter and Robbins, Mr..
Rich moved that Mr.. Robbins be excused
from serving On the committee. Objection
being raised by A. 81. Galloway, colored,
OF New Hanover, the motion to excuse was
put and lost.
Inc House proceedings were principally
son a TO the presentation of "protest
to re.ena ns passage OF Senate bill in regard
the General Assembly issuing bonds To and
for certain Railroads" The nrotest IL
signed by Messrs. E. W. Pou, j. C.WiiI;anos

He then broke bread into crumbs, aud
hopping up the blood of sheep he care

gum, the wax, the rosin, the oak leaves,

and made them into a taper by mani pu-
lation which 1 could not very we'll compre

The grim sprite had dis6gured his face
with some paints which he had ia his
pocket, and which he had communicated
by means of his left hand, while he was
using the right in making signs and other
mysteries around the horrid-smelling mix
ture, which was now filling tho apartment
with smoke. He continued.
Here let me stoop.
And here let me kiss
The mystic now melting,
And which I'll not miss.
With this spoon,
With this knife,

Till the bottom is seen,
Till soon

For the smoke curling bout me,

Till it seeks

De Kimberly was nervously looking on
at this rite which, TO me, was most silly
and superstitious ceremony. However,

more prone we are, even the wlsest OF us,
to regard complacently the whole proceed
ings, and even find it a source of enjoy
ment. This strange taper was burning
pretty rapidly. The divinator was silent.
The pitcher would be in q blaze presently.
What then ?. Kinglake looked more like
an emissary from below than child of
earth. He was stopped and was regarding
intently the Pickering rush light with its
quaint developments. He mutters. He
is strangely convulsed.

a savage look at De Kimberly, fed the

pale and trembling the stiff form of Mary.

manure used was wood-asEes. All soils will

With other manures. If ashes only are used
