The New York Evangelist has just is
sued large map Of the reunited Pres
byterian Church, carefully drawn by Reg
S. D. Alexander, D. D., and finely en-
graved on copper. It shows all the &c
clesiastical divisions, the Synods and
Presbyteries, and chief cities and centres
of the Presbyterian strength and innu-
ence, from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
The map is very valuable, indeed al
most indispensable to all intelligent mem
bers of that church and a brief inspec-
ton of it leads to the conclusion that
that Church is truly a great power in
the land.
We understand that it is given gratui-
tously to all the old and new subscribers
of the Evangelist, and not otherwise sold.
Any one sending So will receive the map
and that religious paper olc year.
A commission of one dollar for each
new name sent with the cash, is allowed
to canvassers. Young men and young
women are often very successful in this
work, and with copy of this fine Map
they must be more than usually so. r.

SANTA CLAUS and KEESS KINGLE.

Santa Claus is originally Saint Nicho-
las, whose memory is celebrated accord
ing to the Almanachs on the 9th Of De-
cember. On the evening of that day in
many of the German cities and villages.
some one, disguised so as to represent
that Saint, with a big bag of apples and
nuts on his back and big switch in his
hand, goes from house to house enquir-
ing of the parents how their children have
behaved during the now closing year
receiving satisfactory answer, he calls
the children up one after the other and
asks them to say prayer, if they do we'll
in their recitations, he tells them, that
he is pleased, because he does not have
to use the big switch, as would have
been his duty. ie they had been reported
or proven naughty; that he will tell
Christ Kindel-the little Christ child
who is to come in few weeks, how we'll
they have behaved, and that Christ Kin
del will bring them some presents. He
then throws lot of apples and nuts
among the now happy children and leaves
for the next dwelling.
We can well remember, how much we
feared to do wrong or. when we had been
naughty, that mother would tell Saint
Nicholas and that then we should be left
without the Christmas tree, the nice pre-
sents and the satisfaction of knowing
that the Christ Kindel was pleased with
US. The nearer Christmas came, the
better we tried to behave, so as to be
sure of good report and its consequent
reward.
But the older we grew the more we
knew and then often neglected the lesson
thus taught in our infancy, that happi
ness can only follow good actions, that
evil Furnishes itself, and that only as good
children of our Heavenly Father we can
truly enjoy his every blessing and gladly
join in the Angel chorus "Glory be to
God, peace on earth, and good will to-

I MERRY CHRISTMAS A HAPPY
NEW YEAR

Our first wish can now only mean that
all our friends, and as far as we can
learn, it has been. The second wish we
hope will begin to be fulfilled next Mon
day. We, as nation as well as COM
munity have great cause to feel grateful
for the innumerable blessings we have
received, during the now almost passed
year of 1871. While war. pestilence
and famine have devastated whole coun
tries and destroyed millions of our fell
low-beings, our people have enjoyed all
the blessings of perfect peace; no pcsti-
lence has decimated our rapidly increas-
ing population, labor every where has
had its due reward, and abundance of all
the necessarias of life has been mercifully
bestowed upon Us. The awful disasters
even that nave come upon some portions
of our community by the fire fend, have
proved blessings III teaching US not only
how best to prevent them in the future,
but also, and most impressively, the ex-
tent of human benevolence, that our
brotherhood is not only local, nor even
national, but almost universal.
In closing the good old year then let
us ''Praise God from whom all Blessings
fow,' and trust in Him to grant US in
the new year the continuance of his I'M
ending benefcence. Let our exper-
fences through the past be our help in
the future, let US renew our resolves to
become better than we have been, to
commence new lives with steadfast, I'M
yielding purposes, to do our whole duty,
trusting in God for his blessing. Thus
only shall we be truly prepared fully to
enjoy every new day Of "a Happy New
Year"

Old Christmas Eve.

In the Mauitowoc Pilot &c the l4th
inst, notice was given that there would
be gathering of the English residents of
inc city and county, at the Windiate
House, on the 5th of January, 1872,
THAT being Old Christmas eve.) The
object of the gathering, is the bringing
together of the sons and daughters of
Merry Old England, who have located in
this county, so that they may partake of
a good old fashioned English dinner, and
have a good old-fashioned time generally.
In connection we would state that the
gentlemen having the matter in hand are
actually at work persecting arrangements
for the occasion. The ticket for the fes-
tiyal is only ST. so per couple. P.

Is the town of Mauitowoc Rapids to be
ruined by the malice or ignorance of the
County Board?
| The fact that the Town of Manitowoc
Rapids has retrogated for the last twenty
years is we'll known to early settlers OF
this County. The industry which -four
! ished formerly in that town is entirely
destroyed, so that now it is one of the
poorest and at the same time the most
oppressed town by taxes in the whole
county. We will merely mention, that
that town formerly fourished by the
many saw-mills and then Was taxed but
little now after the large business at the
Branch has been abandoned, Bakers
mill lays still, the wooden factory is de-
stroyed, Pierce's fine Waterpower is only
driving carding machine, Hubbard's
large business is partly removed to Reed
vile, the saw mills Of Huxley and King
holts have ceased to exist, that town has
no means to eqHalze these calamities, for
it contains but little good farming land.
the majority being swamps, high bills
and deep valleys. Another heavy
load to carry for that town and which
other towns hardly realize are the many
bridges across the Manitowoc river, which
after being built require constant heavy
repairs. All these circumstances have
reduced that town 10 its present low con-
dition, so that every one is anxious to
leave the town brought SO low by these
combinations of circumstances. A strik-
ing example Of the decrease of value is
furnished in the village lots at the Rap
ids where twenty years ago they were
sold at 80 to IS dollars and now,
having been taxed for twenty years |
they cannot be sold for 10 or Is dollars.
Now if it is asked: Does the Coun-
ty Board do nothing to aid this misera-
bly, situated town? it must be answered
that that body out cf ignorance or malice
is driving it still lower and lower. A clear
proof of it is the following: When the
County Board purchased the Manitowoc
Rapids Plankroad including its bridges,
it obligated the County to keep the road
and bridges in proper repair but what
does it do2 1t burdens the town with |
half of the expenses for bridges and the
entire expense of the roadwork land then
this delectable body goes to work and |
raises the taxes from year to year in the

A GOOD WIFE.-We can always tell
what sort of woman man marries, by
the way he treats the printer. IF he gets
common wife, he forgets the printer
altogether. If he gets a tolerably good
wife, he viii send in the notice of his
marriage. If he gets very good one,
he will send the printer slice of cake
with the notice. If he gets ar extra
good one he will send greenback with
the notice. And if he gets a glorious,
angelic egeature-all affection and good
ness-he is sure to send the printer a
gold or silver dollar with the notice of
his happiness. No good wife allows her
husband to owe for his paper. and if her
worser half does not attend to these
things, it is clear case of deception; for
man that won't pay for his paper will
deceive his wife. and we have our opin-
ion of such, we have Htnnebaqo Co.
