The Gas Works or all troublesome pro-
perty our gas works are the worst. Recently
We announced that they had been sold to Col.
Douglass and DR.. GOOtee, and so every one
thought But it seems that Mr. Spruance
insisted upon being the Secretary and Treasur-
er OF the Company until next May, to which
positions he elected himself at the last annual
election. He claimed this, we understand.
from the fact that he owned majority of the
stock Of the company and could control the
chartered privileges, which could not be and
were not sold by the sheriff. The bargain was
therefore annulled by the gentlemen named
above, they not careing to have any dead
weight to carry with the establishment. Mr..
TreadwelI, who was to run the machine. y
left in disgust. Another sale has been nego-
tlated, however. The last purchasers are
Messrs. JOS. Smithers and Patrick Mcguire.
In addition to the real estate, they also pur-
chase $40 shares of Mr.. Spruance' 5 stock, eav-
ing him 10 shares, and allowing him to hold his
offices 1olninally until May, to satisfy some
point of law, but really the purchasers have
absolute ownership and control of the works.
They expect to furnish gas next week.

"WHY DON'T THE GIRLS 90 WEsT?-This
is the question asked by correspondent of the
Boston journal, who cites statistics to prove
that in Ohio there is an excess OF 40,500 men,
in Michigan 10000, in California l43 700, and
In other States similar proportions. In Mas
sachusetts, on the contrary, there are $4,000
more women than men; in New Hampshire
1900; in Rhode Island 5000 and in Cohnecli-
cut 300 The total excess in New England
of females over males is $4,000 Perhaps the
minated will find in these figures convincing
arguments, and migrate. ~. ~, ~,

CHRISTMAS IN SMYRNA.-The Entertain
ments &c; "A more quiet Christmas was new
er spent IN Smyrna than on the last occasion
On ChrlStmas eve there was the usual crowd
thronglng the streets and the confectionery
stores, but during the small hours" there
was not the customary noise and disorder. The
tre at the four corners provincial custom
was not thought of, and it's well it was not nm
der the present Board of Commissioners. The
ttody stick was stirred briskly in the morning
IN some quarters, and occasionally an indiyidm,
al staggered under too heavy load of "wiz-
zard OIL. but these were few comparativeIv
A new feature of the early dawn was the s;rg.
ing OF Christmas carols by party of vonny
folks. The ministers of the town were TINS
sercnaded. Va i"'
hehglous services were held at the Method
ISL church at clock, and at I01 o'clock the
usual christmas services at the Episconol
Church were witnessed by large Congregation
The decorations Of the Church are by no means
so elegant or profuse as on former occasions
particularly last year. No service was held in
the other Churches at this hour. Nothing of
interest transpired in the afternoon.
AT q in the evening the Christmas tree en-
tertalnment was held at the Episcopal Church.
iOr the Sunday School, which was well attend
eed- 1he tree was handsomely dressed and
beautifully lighted Alter addresses bv the the
Superintendent, DIR. .Cummins, and the Rector
lnterspersed by excellent singing BY the School
each scholar was awarded a gift Of candy and
fruit ""o

School was held at the Church. A very large
audience witnessed the exercises. Some of he
recitatiOns and singing was we'll executed
mainly that by the infant classes, but some of
the performance might have been improved
and doubtless would have been Lad not the FIRE

ladies' who worked so faithfully for the exhibi-
