TIE DEMOCRAT.
Our New Years Greeting.

" Nu muS" HSs'aASat ehu S'sN' 'S"' W
mind,
We mount our Pegasus, for this, the
first time;
Aud, though he is old-likewise quite
lame
IT'S the steed all mnst ride who write
only for fame
But not only for fame have these lines
been inditcd-
But rather that favors may be requited {;
For, strange as it seems in these troub-
lous times
Through which We are passing, we've
got few dimes
From large men and small, young men
and old,
And We hope, kind friends, you will not
think us bold,
When We wish you everything tending to
bless,
And hope ",hat your shadows may never
grow lcss!.'
And now, having paid our respects to our
friends,
We would speak of our foes-wo have
plenty ofthem
But for soiliny our ink, their names We
would print;
Still, trusting that some will take this as
hint,
And save us the trouble and themselves
the pain,
Of making their manifold villauies plain;
We will leave them alone in their mantle
of vico,
And only add n few words Of advice:
The day ofycur reign will soon draw to
an end,
And your proud naughty necks will have
to bend;
Then, repcntins your sins with cries and
with groaus,
You'll remember the adagc about "throw-
ing stones"
And let us speak Of our National ills,
Brought on the country by unconstitu-
tional bills;
"Twould really seem, to read their debates
Congress was moved solely by partisan
hates
And an an insane desire their loved mig
ger to place,
Over the heads ofthc hitherto ruling race!
BY violation Of oath, and many villain
Gus law,
The very "bcst government the world
ever saw"
They have changed, subverted, and
broke down,
Made tho niger free, and made black
brown
Till all that is left, that VIC can dcscry
Of our ancient landmarks, you eau "put
in your eye"
And now VIC would speak Of our State,
and the men
Who arc running her, to serve party ends;
Picture thcnl-look at tlcm-thcn, If
you dare,
Say how with the statesmen Of old they
compare?
lhere arc porK-deaiers, drunKaras-a

ticcd the departure of Sheriff Hale, in
pursuit Of Crislcr, the alleged murderer
Of Regcr. Arrivinga at Cumberland, Mr..
Hale, accompanied by another officer, and
brother of the deceased Roger, im.ncdi-
atcly made search for Crisler, who is re.
ga.dcd in Cumberland as desperate
character, having, it is said, been impli-
Gated in murder ease in that city, some
time ago. In their search, they were at
one time within few steps of the accu-
scd, and he, knowing lteger, and judging
that tho persons with him were officers Of
the law, at once broke for the mountains;
and, unable to trace him thithcr, Mr..
Hale gave up the pursuit, at present., as
uSciGss. we uHuCIstaNu ilhl wv ""S'o
in the vicinity offered to bring in Crislcr
for $50, but US Mr.. Roger did not feel
disposed to pay that much, and the shcr-
if not being authorized to offer any re-
ward, the matter stands, ifanythlng. worse
than ever, for Cr;slcr, if ho is endowed with
ordinary sense, will this time place saf-
ficieut distance between himself and the
scene Of the catastrophe. as to remove all
future danger Of capture aud punish

A HAIRY NEw YEAn.-Ecn from our
boyish days, when, we thought that to be u
printers devil was OF should be the height
Of human ambition. we have known it to
he a practice among the knights of the
quill to make this season Of the year the
occasion Of the most severe and pointed
dunuiug that the cntirc ability Of the Of
fee could invent. Herein, although it
may bring down OH our devoted head The
ancthmas Of the whole editorial fraternity,
wc intend to dcviatc from this ancient
custom. we simply wish you happy
New Year-an,l hope that you may live
to sec plenty Of ,icm. As to moncy-we
don't want tits trash. Men steal
money, and If we had any we might get
robbed. We have good reason to be
afraid of money. Far back--so fur in
tho past that ii seems to us like the base
less fabric Of a vision, our material rcla-
tive presented us with n piece OF the filthy
lucre Of the determination known as five
cent piece. That was enough! Our
life, until that half.dimc was gone, WIS
one continual round Of dissipation. When
we recovered wc repcnted, and have
since that time studiously avoided any
man who would be base enough to offer
lis money. And as the New Year is
here, we would inform our readers that
we don't want-won't liavc-ncver had
and never intend to have any money As
cur kind friends in New York an else
where generously furnish us Wit! every
thing We want-gratis, we have no use
for money, aud beg our patrons not tc

.'BoLp RoppEny."-On last Tuesday
night, Zebidec Brown, treasurer Of Clay
Township, Braxton county, was robbed
Of between $1,000 and $1,000. Mr..
Brown, as treasurer Of the township. had
in lis hands the above amount, which he
had collected, belonging to the township.
On Tuesday evening while he was absent
from home, two men. disguised with
masks, etc., called ut his house and de-
manded the money of his wife. 1t was
given up, and tho rogues departed on
their way rejoicing. The mystery of the
affair is, that the amount Of money shoull
be known to the robbers, and that they
should call on tho particular evening
when Mr.. Brown was absent.
