THE ALPS TRAGEDY-The reader of the Nc
GIFFERT letters that appeared in the Telegraph,
last summer, will probably recollect the sad
story of the loss of one of bridal party, just
previous to his visit, on Mt. Blanc. Just after
that visit. u party was overtaken on the noun
tain by snow storm, and perished. The an
nouncement is now made that the bodies of five
victims have been found. On the person of
one of them-Dr. BEANIE, Scotchman-a dia-
ry was found, giving the situation of the party
until he was too numb to write. Here are
a couple of extracts:

. Thanksgiving Sermon,

Rev. J. n. Nc GIFFERT, Pas. Presb. Oh.
At the Union Service-M. E. Church--24th ult.
PSALM xux-io.-'The Lord stitch upon the flood
yea the Lord stteth King forever
The Kingship of Jehovah furnishes
cause for Thanksgiving.
Though every earthly thing which i;
joyful or hopeful, were blotted out, his
trusting people would still sing "Hailelu-
jah." Although he was perseented
outcast, David's heart could find utter
ance in praise, because "God ruleth unto
the ends of the EARTH" Though Priest
and Pharisee were leagued tor their dis
truction, the company of the apostles of
old, join in the joyful strains of the old
Psalm, "Why did the heather rage? He
that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh"
And when the judgments of the latter
days shall be executed, the vials of wrath
be poured forth on the world, the angel
cast the great Babylon as milestone in
to the deep, the roll of prophecy be
transferred TO history, in lamentations
and mourning and woe still the multitude
of Gods people in earth and heaven,
shall answer the voice from the throne,
"Praisc the Lord" with the triumphant
response, "Allellujah, for the Lord God
Omnipoten: reigneth."
Upon the old flood, to which many sup
pose the text has reference, the Lord sat

Humanity to HorseS-Frosty Bits.

AS the cold weather approaches, the
absolute cruelty of putting frosted metal
into the mouths of horses is so frequent
ly bi ought to mind, that any suggestions
as to better course are at this season
timely as well as merciful.
No one who has had to do with horses
when the mercury is considerable below
the freezing point but has witnessed
their sometimes almost frantic efforts to
cape the pain that comes of putting on
t le bride. misunderstanding it many
times, the coarse su brutal hOstler adds
blows to the other brutality, and forces
the animal to take between its jaws q
piece of iron that freezes its tongue and
8 cuons of its mouth the moment it
t uches them, causing not only present
pain, but often liberation, and almost
always sores.
The remedy is leRthern bit, instead
of an iron one. n bit of this sort is
not easily procured, a common iron one
can be covered, which will be at least o
partial remedy.
To do this, cover the bits with straps
of common bridle.leather, and as much
of the check-piece as will be likely to
touch the flesh. winding them around
the iron while wet, and then carefully
sewing the edges so as to make the sur
face as smooth as possible.
A real mouth-piece can be made by
any harless-maker at small cost, and
would be altogether preferable to the
covered one, as it can be taken from the
head.stall and check.rein, and be replaced
by the iron when the cold weather is

Census Of this County.

Below we give table showing the
population Of this county under the cen
sus Of 1860 and the present wear. 1t
will be seen by figures thus given that
the population of the county has gained
slightly in these past ten pears-only
63l, more than which has been in Ash.
tabula township alone, and the half of
which has been in Jefferson. The gains
appear almost exclusively in the villages,
while all the properly rural towns have
lost. This loss in the farming districts
is Common all over the Western Reserve,
and may be throughout the State. At
least 1t will be found to hold in the graz
ing part of the State and the older coun-
ties. The rapid tendency of population
westward, must have this effect upon
such q country as we have here; and it
may turn out that our population will
stand at or near its present amount thro'
this century, if indeed it does not dete-
riate. The susceptibility of our soil to
improvement under good culture and its
freedom from rocks and steep ravines,
VIII OH very little change in the man
ner of farming, cause a return from the
present dairy and grazing system to the
culture of grains, when the population
will increase rapidly in the country
while manufacturers will keep up the
villages to their present rate OF increase.
The opening of railroad southwark
through the county would probably
build up two or three good Villages by
manufactures. But unless something OF
this kind is done we shall Iemain at a
stand-still.

troduce the following table Of

The Last Mile-Stones,
BY PEARL RIVERS.

Sixty years through shine and shadow
Sixty years, my gentle wife,
You and have walked together
Down the rugged road Of life,
From the hills OF spring we started,
And through all the Summer land,
And the fruitful Autumn country,
We have jOurneyed hand in hand.
We have borne the heat and burden.
Toilng painfully and slow,
We have gathered in our harvest,
With rejoicing long ago.
Leave the uplands for our children
They are strong TO SOW and reap,
Through the quiet winter lowlands
Our leyel way we keep.
'Tis dreary country, darling,
You and l are passing through
But the road lies straight before us,
And the miles are short and few.
No more danger to encounter,
No more hills TO climb, true friend,
Nothing now'but simple walking,
Till we reach our journeys end.
We have had our time of gladness
Twas proud and happy day
Ah the prOudest of our journey,
When we felt that we could say
OF the children God had given,
Looking fondly on the ten
Lovely women are our daughters
Our sons are noble men !"
We have had our time Of sorrow
Our time of anxious tears.
When we could not see the mile-stones
Through the blindness of our tears,
In the sunny summer country,
Far bthind us little May,
And Willie, too, grew weary,
And we left them on the way.
Are you looking backward, mother,
That you stumble in the snow?
am still your guide and staff, dear,
Lean your weight upon me, so
Our road is growing narrow;
And, what is it, wife, you say
Yes, know cur eyes are dim, dear,
But we have not lost the way.
Cheer thee cheer thee faithful hearted
just little way before
Lies the rreat Eternal City
OF the King that we adore,
can see the shining spir,s,
And the King. the King, my dear,
We have served him long and humbly;
He will bless us, do not fear.
Ah the snow falls fast and heavy,
How you shiver with the cold,
Let me wrap the mantcl closer,
And my arm around you fold,
We are weak, and faint and weary,
And the sun low in the west,
We have reached The gates, my darling,
Let us tarry here and rest.

A capital joke and all the more palat-
able because it is true and can be vouch-
ed, took place a few days since, at one
OF our prominent Fourth street churches.
Ii seems that worthy deacon had been
very industrious in selling new church
book, costing IS cents. At the services
in question the minister, just before dis
missing the congregation, rose and said !:
"All of you who have children to bap-
tize will please present them next sab
BATH" The deacon, who, by the way,
was little deaf, and having an eye to
selling books, and supposing bis pastor,
was referring to them, Immediately
jumped up and shouted: "All, you wlo
haven't any can get as many as you
want, by calling on me, at IS cts. each"
The preacher looked cross-eyed at the
brothers. the brothers looked at thr cIer-
syman, the audience punched the audi
rnce in the side, the bubble grew larger
until it lecame a loud guffaw. Ladies
colored up, crimsoBed, blushed and
thanked the Lord tor the low price oi
peopling tie earth. There was no bene-
diction that morning worth speaking of.
The deacon, after he had found cut his
mistake, changed his pew from the front
OF the church to the third from the rear /:
and though he cannot hear the sermon,
he is consoled with the thought that the
young ladies cannot snicker at him.
