VERGENNEs-News this week is on the
wane, and all the excitement prevailing
seems to be produced by pedestrians who
have been obliged to quicken their pace
considerably to keep from freezing or fall
ing upon the icy pavement. We have
witnessed several demonstrations Of the
latter order, and in spite Of the sin, have
been tempted to smile little to ourselves
at the fruitless efforts Of some luckless
son Of Erin, who evidently didn't under
stand walking on the water" if it was
frozen. The Catholic Society have sold
the house and lot adjoining their ceme-
terry, for $1,000, to Mr.. Jas. Simon. The
j. G. Dean arrived last week, loaded with
coal from Roudout. Rev. Mr.. lockwood

pied by r. NJ. Clapp, but owned by j.

TnAYK>GlvING IN MIDDLEIuRY.-Wit
the weather severe, the thermometer be
/ low zero. there was some hestuncy about
taking long journeys, even for the pur-
pose Of eating the traditional turkey.
But some braved the cold, aud every
where there was rejoicing and feasting
/ There were services at the Episcopal
church, and union of Merhodists and Con-
gregatioralists at the house OF the latter.
Hev.iMr. Hooker preached from the words
of Micah 7:3, That they may do evil
with both hands earnestly, the prince ask
eth, and the judge asketh Tor a reward !;
ID the great man he uttereth his mis-
,evous desire so they wrap it up"
HIS subject was political Corruption. +"
He portrayed the corruptions lately
brought TO light in New York City, and
the evils resulting from it, showed that
this fostering eruption was the legitimate
result Of Il widespread evil in theory and
practice, throughout our body polite. He
urged the importance Of reform in the civ
il service, recommending the taking away
Of the appointing power from the execu-
tive, and making it entirely competitive
lie condemned, in strong terms, the the
DRY adopted 40 years ago, and practiced
by every ADMINISTRATION in power since, that
ITO the victors belong the sroiis." The
discourse showed Il deeper research iuto
the turbid pool Of politics, than is usual
among non-roliticaI clcrgymen OF the day.
His discourse was an able exposition OF
the subj ect in general and calculated to
do much good, though he might have pro.
duccd greater excitement il not accom-
pli>h more good by dealing more directly
( ard pointedly with local corruptions aud
exceptional political practices.
