1871.

The almanacs for 1871 are coming
round and from them we learn important
facts. January will be the first month
Of this coming year, and will also be a
bilious month to those prostrated from
impecuniosity. February will not be
much of month, as it is not leap year.
Washington's birthday will come on the
22d of this month. March will be de-
voted by the Prussians to getting home.
The first of April is the anniversary Of
the birth of the majority of mankind
outside of New Britain, and will be eel
ebrated accordingly. May and June will
be devoted to the growth Of sprouts, a
fact of which schoolmasters will take adj
vantage, and of which mischievous urch-
ins will become painfully aware. Fourth
of July will occur once this year, to wit I:
July 4th. This day u used to remind
lukewarm patriots Of those who fought
and bled; appropriate illustrations be-
ing gotten up by exploding firearms and
treacherous gunpowder. August will be
dry month if it fails to rain, and il
| the horns OF the moon turn up. Keep
ers of saloons discover this fact and con-
tribute what they can to relieve pletho-
ric pocket books and general Jryness.-
Boys will desist from skating this mouth.
In September the G. l. + r. Club will
go fishing. Mosquitoes will bite WE'LL
October is good month to gather au-
tumn leaves, for with November autumn
leaves altogether and winter begins. In

miles in 1000 days, for the cause of sci
ence. He will fail. The female min.

this prediction, although the almanacs
for that year are not yet published. The

FASHIONS IN FURs.-Tbere are few
novelties to record in furs this season. -
The boa is the prominent article in new
and stylish sets. A straight fat boa, a
yard and halflong, and small round
muif, make up the sets that will be most
worn. Flat boas, fastened by fancy
'frogs" of passementerie, are the pretti-
est for short furs /; long round boas, tied
at the throat, for black marten and 9TH
er heavy furs. Collars are retained by
those who require great warmth, and by
elderly ladies. They are very small are
round behind, with square fronts finish
ed by tips. A new and convenient collar
has the neck opening low in V shape,
and turned over on reverse to be worn on
dressy occasions, or filled in with plas-
from of fur when it is desired to wear it
high about the throat Dark tail tips
of the same fur, or of another of harmo-
nious color, are placed around the neck
and fronts Of collars for trimmings
Loops and passementerie buttons fasten
the collar long cords and tassels are
out of use. Mufis are very small and
round, are lined with heavy gros grain
Of the shade of the fur, and finished
with fur tassels, or else very rich ones of
/ passementerie. Flat muffs are only used
by misses and children, and for skating.
I The newest are square, instead of point
ed or curved, and are made of fur
througout. Furs are marked at lower
rates this season than last, owing to the
decline in gold, and to the abundant
supply of skins collected last year, and
Just now brought into the market This
reduction is especially noticeable in sable
and seal skins. The light shades of the
Hudson Bay sable are now sold for $50
a set, and seal skin sacques that cost
500 last season, are now offered at $50.
Mink has long been considered the STAN
dard fur, but it now finds rival in the
light sables that cost no more than fine
mink. 1t is question with ladies which
to choose-the finest dark mink or light
sable There is something to be said for
EACH We usually prefer the best of its
kind to an inferior quality of finer stuff,
but we confess partiality for fine soft
sable, even though of the lightest shade

A Congressman's Home Amuse-
mcnt.

mcnt.
! A Washington letter to the New York
Sun says that for some time previous to
last Wednesday evening, Richard j..
Haldeman, democratic member of Con-
gress from the York district of Pennsyl-
vania, had been on grand debauch.--
Ten days ago he entered the House of
Representatives SO maudlin drunk that
ne was unable to articulate when he
arose, holding on to his desk and after
rapping of the speakers hammer had
failed to seat him, he was left standing
until some of his friends got him off to
the cloak room. His wife, lady of
refinement and spotless character, the
daughter of Senator Simon Cameron Of
Pennsylvania, mortified beyond meas
ure, sought him out and endeavored to
get him sobered down, and, though fail
ing in her labors. did not despair, but
cldng to the wreck. On Wednesday
night, toward midnight, the wife of a
United States Senator, whose husband
was at the Senate attending the night
session on the San Domingo resolution,
was aroused by loud and infamous lam
guage in an adjoining room at Willarl's
hotel, addressed to the wife of Halde-
man by that debauched representative
and then hearing blows, the Senator's
wife rang for help.
Soon the proprietor and two or three
servants were brought to the hall, and
two members of Congress were reused
from their rooms by the then loud
shrieks of female voice. mingled with
the exclamation of Don't, Richard.
don't, don'tl" The hotel proprietor at
once hammered on the door, and warn
ed the wretch, Haldeman, that unless he
Instantly ceased bis violence, he would
spend the night in the police station
He stammered out a maudlin "yes." and
his wife not appealing to those who had
by that time arrived in the hall for pro-
lection, they did not feel warranted in
forcing the door open and taking her
away. A servant was stationed in the
hall to watch for further trouble. and
again at half-past aud at A. NJ, it be-
came necessary to pound on his door to
frighten the rufiian from further vio-
lence.
On the next morning the cowardly
wife beater was ordered to leave the
house at once and never return, and his
wife was invited to remain. Her face
was skockingly bruised both eyes were
blacked, and other marks of this demons
brutality were on her person She said
that the fend had twice knocked her
down, had kicked and choked and bruis-
ed her, yet she still thought it her duty
to remain with the loathsome wretch.

ed condition, the wife.whipper is to be

IHE KIND CoNDUCToR.-It is pleas
ure to say something to the credit of au
individual who belongs to that much
abused class of our community, horse
car conductors, whom people like to be-
lieve dishonest. On the morning of the
Fourth, little girl riding to Boston,
rendered to a conductor, for fare, dngy
looking scrip, of the denomination of
twenty-five cents. He took it, looked at
it, said Counterfeit and returned it
to her.
Evidently judging by her appearance
that it was all she had, he added, New
er mind let it go till next time"
But the girl was mortified by the cir
cumstance, and, her eyes brimming with
tears turned her face away. A lady
standing near remarked, Her Fourth
of July is spoiled"
The conductor heard her, and, hesita-
ting but moment, said to the girl, "Let's
see that money again
She handed it to him, and then he
took from his pocket the brightest, new
est twenty-five cent scrip he could find,
and gave it to her in exchange. When
he saw her countenance expressing the
thanks she could not utter, we have nc
doubt that he felt amply rewarded, and
we will wager quite an amount that hi.
wearisome labors that day were very
mnch ligh.ened by his little act of kind
ness-Boston Journal.

A SIGNIFIcANT FAcT-Notwithstaud-
ing that million of soldiers belonging
to the French and Prnssian armies have
been trampiing down and laying waste
the magnificent vineyards in the great
campagne district around Reims, Eper-
nay, ETC., the price of the wine has not
been affected in the least in this country.
So extensive and destructive have been
the military operations in the depart
ment of which Reims is the most impor-
tant city, that the vintage this year is
almost total loss, and the wine-factors
have to great extent had their stocks
of wine destroyed. Any one would sup
pose this would produce panic among
dealers and consumersof the effervescing
wines, but such is not the case. The
truth is, in the manufacture of the bev-
erages now sold as wine, the juice of the
| grape is of no account. A large part OF
that which is sold in this country is made
from cheaper and more gross materials,
and we suppose if the vintage should ut
terly fail abroad for twenty consecutive
years, the supply of wine would not in
the least diminish. Some time ago
when the terrible oidium destroyed the
vine in Madeira for several years, and
not cask of wine was made upon the
island, the supply of genuine Madeira
was never greater or the price cheaper
Wine drinkers may take encouragement
from these facts.-Journal Of Chemistry

THE THINGS THAT MAKE MEN.-It
is not the best things-that is, the things
which we call the best--that make men /;
it is not the calm experiences of life, it is
life's rugged experiences, its tempests, its
trials. The discipline Of life is here good
and there evil, here trouble and there joy,
here rudeness and there smoothness, one
working with the other, and the altera-
tions of the one and the other, which me-
cessitate adaptions constitute part Of
that education which makes man man
in distinction from an animal, which has
no education. The successful man inva-
riably bears on his brow the marks OF
his struggles which he has had to under
go.

of the plaintiff for $1,000.
The case Of Vim. Garvin VS.. Mrs. Severe
Msrchildon-- an action Of ejectment was
called for trial and consumed the entire
day The property in question was pur-
chased many years ago by Mrs. Msrchil-
don at tax sale. The plaintiff is repre-
snted by John NJ. Lsnsden, Esq, and de-
PENDANT by Judge Allen.
The court has appointed John @ Har-
man receiver in the case of Nixon, Ellis "

pany. No better man could have been
appointed to settle up the affairs OF this
defunct insurance company.
Many important cases will DO tried be-
fore the ADJOURNMENT Of this term. We
understand that the never-ending case OF
Ellis VS.. the First National Bank will BIO
called for trial at an early day. In ape
cuniary point Of view it would BIO the in
terest Of this county to adjust some OF the
cases now pending in our court. 1t mas

of dollars to bear the expenses of cases
