NEW YORK., Jan. 5.--Money has brought
extreme rates during the day, but toward
the close of banking hours there was a rush
to place balances at seven per cent. in coin,
and Afterwards there was full supply at
seven per cent. In currency, All apprehen-
sionS of an Immediate renewal OF the late
IStringency are now removed. The action
of the boards OF Brokers in denouncing
mancuvers of the banks and their agents
seem 10 have produced sudden and decided
case In the money market. Discounts are
more active at Q to IL. The whole range of
securities at once responded TO the fayora-
BILE turn of affairs respecting money mat
ters; Governments advanced half per cent.
Gold was thrce-eighths higher, and railway
shares improved to per cent, but the
market was Hurried rather than strong,
and there Is no appearance OF an united
and safe effort TO advance prices. GsE-sg
Buyers were generally disposed to mali G
short turns and realize on small advance.
Various rumors continue to be circulated
TO the prejudice Of the New York Central,
but pending the unsettled State of he mon
ey market they have little influence.

CHRISTMAS TREEs.-As our last
paper was put to press before the ex-
hibition of the beautiful christmas
trees came OFF, we make some men,
ton Of them now. The Baptist,
Methodist and Christian Churches
each got up one, at their respective
places of worship, for the benefit of
their Sunday School pupils. BY in
vitation we went to the Methodist
Church, where they had erected q
very large and beautiful tree, whose
branches were literally ''loaded
down. with everything nice to please
both old and young. The presents
were distributed by old Santa Claus
Mr.. j. =. Helm--who was in one of
his happiest moods, and in dispens-
ing the gifts he produced a great deal
of glee and happiness throughout the
very large crowd in attendance.
We do not wish TO approximations
in speaking of these things, but not
being present, we can only say that
the trees at the Baptist and Ceristian
Churches were pronounced beautiful
and the exercises conducted in such
manner as to give universal satsfac-
ton to ihe "little folks" and others
present.
We hope this ancient custom of OBJ
serving Christmas may be kept alive,
for ii Is a great incentive to Sunday
School children, and a well conducted
Sunday School is the great "nursery
of the church."

THE New YEAR.---The year 1888,
with Its joysaad sorrows, has passed
by on the great food of time into tho
bosom OF eternity, and q now one,
freighted with its many hopes and
fears, has dawned upon US. There Is
little in the past year pleasing to ret
respect But who can recall the past,
save In the revival of its reminis-
lcences and recollections and who
would renew its bitter memories and
heart-burnings? Who would open
afresh the wounds which time has
partially healed, only to brood in sor-
row or anger over the wrongs of the
paste -.
A new year Is registered upon the
calendar of time, and claims prece-
denee Of the past. New resolves are
to be made, new hopes to be cherished,
and new duties to be performed. How
many have entered upon it with
promises of reformation and reclama-
ton And alas! how many will
break their vows, and how few keep
sacred their pledges Reader, have
you made a promise to net for the
better? Keep it faithfully, and it
will enable you so TO act in your al
lotted sphere that you will not have
lived in vain; and as time advances,
let us say n
Come wealth or want, come good or i'll, p
Let young or old accept their part,
And bow before the awful will,
And bear it with an honest heart.
Who misses, or who wins the prize
Go, lose or conquer as you cam ~
But II you fail, or II you rise,
Be each. pray God. u gentleman.

Pleasant and Beautiful. .

The people Of our pretty sister city across
the river, as well as many of their friends
from this side, were last night most pleas.
antly and happily entertained by an ex-
hibition of tableaux and musical concert,
at Hughes Academy. The living pic
lures we're presented in almost faultless
style, and their beauty and exactness were
highly appreciated by a crowded house.
The musical concert was also entirely
successful, the several pieces eliciting
hearty evidences of approval. The hour
at which we write is too late to admit of
detail. We can only repeat the verdict of
all present, and say We hope another enter
tainment of the same sort may be given.

Desperate and Determined Attempt
20 Murder n Pedlar.

and Determined Attempt
60 Murder n PedIar.
Persons from the neighborhovd of its
occurrence, tell us of desperate attempt
made q few nights since, to murder
pedlar at Cox's Spring, seven miles from
the city, on the Mnrfreesboro Turnpike.
The pedlar, having purchased a fresh
supply Of goods in Nashville, was on his
way to the country, travelling at night TO
avoid the intense heat Of daytime. He
had stopped his wagon at the spring for
the purpose of watering his horse, and
while in the act of doing SO, was startled
by the report of gun. Instantly leaping
into his wagon, the pedlar drove rapidly
away, being saluted with a number OF
other shots rs he went Getting
bevoud the reach of his muir
derous assailants, he discovered
that his horse was severely wounded in the
side. and bleeding quite freely. He also
discovered that seven shots had entered
the body of the wagon. He attributes his
escape from mortal injury to the fact that
as soon as .he firing commenced he threw
himself PROSTATE in the bottom OF the
wagon, and was rapidly carried by the
fiset.footed, but wounded horse, beyond
the reach of the assassins. II is supposed
that this deed of violence was committed
by suspicious looking white man ana
negro, who were seen at or near the spring
shortly before the shooting was heard
Nothing has since occurred to lead to tn
Identification of the guilty parties.
