A famous author, and the maker OF
many books, once wrote the following
concerning al EDITORS work !:
1t is not the writing Of the leading
article itself, but the Obligation to
write that article every week, whether
inclined or not, in sickness or in
health, in affection, disease Of the
mind, winter OF summer, year after
year, tied down to the task, remaining
in one seat. Tt is something like the
walking Of q thousand miles in thou
sand hours. I have fellow-feeling,
for I know how periodical will cut
down ones existence. In itself it ap
pears nothing the labor is not mani
fest nor is it the labor, but it is the
continued attention it requires. Your
life becomes rs it were, the publica-
ton. One days Tor week's) paper is
no sooner corrected than on comes
another. 1t is the stone of Sisyphus ;
an endless repetition of toll, constant
weight upon the intellect and spirits,
demanding all the exerticn OF your
faculties, at the same time that You
are compelled to do the severest kind
of drudgery. To write for news
paper is very we'll, bat edit one is to
condemn yourself to slavery.
He might have added that perhaps
this self-same editor is of all men the
most ont of sorts with his paper-it
lacks SO much Of reaching the stand
ard at which lie aims. But after all,
the true editor enjoys his success and
is not the most unhappy man in the
world by any means.

The Great Storm in the North O
Europe.


NEW YORK, December 4.-A Berlin
letter to the London Telegraph says that
the storm which passed over the north Of
Europe, on November IA last, ragged with
violence unprecedented within the mem
ory Of living man, indeed the local annals
of the Baltic and Ostze coasts contain9 no
record Of so furious and destructive temp.
est for nearly two hundred years past. All
the lines Of railroad radiating to different
points Of the compass from this capital
are encumbered with broken or uprooted
telegraph poles. Business on the .Bourse
at a stand still, sea walls smashed into
atoms, and trains were swallowed up in
the great waters. The accounts from
stratsund, Keil, Grie3wald, Swinemunde,
&C., read like descriptions Of q second de.
luge. On Wednesday, the greater part oi
Gfiefswold, was under water. The Ostze
stood five feet deep in the streets Of that
thriving little town. The total number
OF crafts foundered at Stratsund were over
eighty. All the fishing boats belonging
to Zingst, Oars s. Hiddensa, have gone to
the bottom. Eight people were drowned
at Venvitz. All along the coast the in
habitants suffered from the want Of water,
the sea having flooded all the wells. :

A NEW and alarming epidemic has
broken out. The editor Of the Cumber-
land Times has been attacked. This is
what is the matter with him. Msnyper-
sons in this city have been attacked In a
similar way:

for the past week, a severe attack Of buk'

a financial officer ofthe citythat the exist.
ing debts, as we stated II Tuesday Just
about 100000. So that the city can
only contract $4,000 more Of debt. Ev.
cry dollar oi bonds issued after that limit
has been reached, would be issued in VIC,
lation Of tho law, and would be fraudu.
lent and worthless. It Is not likely that
capitalists would buy such bonds and per.
sons who should engage in issuing them
would incur great personal risk.
These are serious facts which every
reader can easily verify and understand
for himself. Yet in the face OF them, We
regret to see determined purpose 10
force through at least one branch Of coun.
Gil Friday evening subscriptions for a
debt half million greater than the law
allows the city to contract, and an at-
tempted authorization Of bonds for $780,
900, for the benefit Of the two almost
mythical corporations mentioned at the
opening Of this article. This Is state Of
facts that may well arrest the attention of
all citizens who feel any stake in the good
name and welfare Of the city.
We beg such persons to consider furth-
err II it Ssrs lawful to incur the whole
debt proposed, and 10 pile this 100000
upon the existing $500 900, the measure Of
our ability tocontract loans will be full and
more than halfa million over. We will not
be in a condition to borrow o dollar for
any purpose till half million Of debt, and
something more, has been paid, no matter
how urgent the need may be or how
small the sum. Itwater works or other
public improvements are needed, tho
money must be raised by extra tax COL
lections; and with such tax bills as peo-
pie have been paying the present year
the prospect Of such an alternative is not
pleasant. But this is n state Of facts to be
considered. The new Constitution has
left us but small margin of credit. 1t
will be wise to employ 1t to meet the most
urgent needs, and not throw it away in
doubtful ventures which will put on ad-
ditional heavy mortgage on.the revenues
out Of which in future the Improvements
Of the city will have directly to come.

to appropriate 500 for the purchase
of some additional memento OF

In case oi Mr.. Greeley's dying or marry.

not to be sold nor the principal Of the
property used by either Of the children,

Gov. Jacob to Recognize the August
Election Of Congressman.
(From tho MArtinsburg stAtesnan) t
A report has reached here, coming from
source always entitled to credit, when
speaking of sentiments Of the present Ex.
ecutive oithis State, that Gov. Jacob will
recognize the validity Of the August elec.
ton and give the certificate Of election to
Hereford, Davis and Hagans II snch re.
port be true, it can hardly be expected
thata House OF Representatives, radical
by more than two.thirds, win reverse
the decision OF the Governor, and thus
the District will be misrepresented for two
years by John Marshal Hagans, who was
voted for in but three counties OF this Dis.
trict.
We regarded it very great error that
the Grafton Convention which assembled
on the 9Th Of August, did not then make
q nomination ior Congress. We foresaw
the state Of things in the clearest light md
in tticle after article published in our
paper, called upon the Democrats and
Conservatives Of this District, to change
the day for the assembling otthe Conven.
ton from the 9th day Of September to
some day early in August. We foreshad.
owed in emphatic language the trickery
that would be rcSorted to by the radical
party at the August elections, and the re.
suits which now seem to be upon US.

Rules for the Prev ention Of Fire,

As this is the season when fires
prevail TO large extent throughout
the land, tho following suggestions
are worthy of consideration
Keep matches in metal boxes and
out of the reach of children. Wax
matches are particularly dangerous,
and should be kept out of the way of
rats and mice. Fill fluid or cam.
phene lamps only by daylight, and
never near fire or light. D. not
deposit coal or wood ashes in a
wooden vessel, and be sure burning
cinders are extinguished before de-
posting. Never place q light or
ashes under a staircase. Be careful
never to place lights near curtains.
Never take light into q closet. Do
not read in bed by candle or lamp
light. No smoking should be PER-
mitted in warehouses, particularly
where goods are stacked. Stove
pipes should be at least four inches
from board work and guarded by
tin. All hatchwavs or openings in
the floors ofstores. factories or ware
houses should be closed at night.
