mountains, Gases and endless sands, Edens
and charnel houses. There will be smiles
and tears, trust and deception, love and
falseness, success and ruin, ambition and
despair. Such is the sum Of human life.
Into which scale will the weight Of light OF
darkness fall in 1sT2I But over all, in gor-
geous beauty, hangs the fadeless, matchless
rainbow Of HoPE-God's sweetest gift to
man and he is a coward indeed who would
turn his back upon its encouraging prom
Uses, and run away from the great battle OF
the future.

A little daughter of Mr.. William Bird
songs was thrown from horse last week
and seriously injured. She was riding be-
hind her mother, on visit 80 a neighbours,
when the horse took fright, throwing both,
the child falling upon her head. She was
insensible for three days, but is now recov-
ering. The mother was not seriously in
jured.
DANGERoUs.-Th bridge at the foot of
the hill near the Miss. Central Railroad, en-
Cumberland street broke down on Wednes-
day, periling Wagon, team and driver
This bridge has long been dangerous, owing
TO wash which has undermined it, and
now cannot be crossed at all. Win not our
city authorities or the street commissioners
have it repaired at once?
A SPLENDID HOTEL.--The Dunlap House
at Humboldt, under the management OF S.
NJ. Jones, formerly Of the City Hotel of
Nashville, is one OF the best hotels in the
South. The house has been newly and ele-
gantly furnished, and the table is positively
unsurpassed. Mr.. Jones has no superior
and few equals as a manager, and, besides,
he is a regular old-fashioned Southern gen
ueman, by whom it is rare pleasure to be
entertained. We recon mend this house as
Grst-class.
Our attention has been called by a citizen
to the wretehed condition Of North Market
street, where it crosses the branch near the
residence OF Thos. Murrell. A good car
riage way bridge and foot bridge are badly
needed. Look to it, gentlemen of the street
committee, and let rs have change; the
condition of the street there now, we are
assured, is simply dangerous.
TEMPERANCE SUPPBR.-The Harrisburg
Division OF Sons OF Temperance, had a
happy reunion and an epicurian supper on
the evening of the 25th OF December. 1t
was joyful occasion, made more joyful
still 10y the smiles and graces OF beautiful
women. Any cause espoused by woman
must succeed, and from their devotion tc
the benefcent principles Of Temperance
we look for grand results. May the great
cause OF Temperance spread itself like the
"Green Bay Tree" until all the nations Of
the earth are securely gathered beneath its
grateful and unfading branches.
CIRCUIT CoURr.-His Honor G. B. Black,
presiding, convened on Monday last. The
State docket claims the first attention OF
the Court. Several misdemeanors were
disposed of, others continued, in others
still, RoIls proSegUi was entered.
The case OF the State VS.. ]. W. Brown, in.
dicted for the murder OF S. II. Gill, in this
county, last spring, on account Of the alb.
sence of Col r. p. Rains, Of counsel for de.
tense, was continued till next term. The
State docket is not so large as at last term,
and we are glad to see so healthy a state OF
the body polite.
A 18th amendment, living ON Judge
Browns place near the city, and freshly
married, by the name ofJoe Anderson, was
lodged in jail during the holidays for vari-
Gus and dire threats against the Rev. Thorn
as Taylor. and eolored man living with
Mr.. Taylor. 1t appears that Joe had shot
some Of Mr.. Taylor's cattle, and on being
demonstrated with by Mr.. It's hired man,
INDUCED in threats most fierce against both
Joe's ideas OF freedom are entirely too bar
barrie and loose TO be permitted to run al
large, and his Incarceration il both Just and
instructive.

BADLY BURNED.-During Christmas one
Joel Presley, liking near Lexington, in
Henderson county, was badly burned with
powder while firing of Christmas gun
His soul was so full of fun, froie and Christ
mas, that the ordinary iung-weapen wa.
wholly inadequate, and hence he essayeC
to IRE bigger and louder guns than any
body. After preparing an anvil, fixing 1
slow match, he slept back to witness th,
"grand explosion" which Weuld ''awakI
the echoes OF thousand hills" But tn,
match burning slower than he anticipated
he approached the "big gun" with ''horn'
of powder to hurry up the explosion, ans
while in the act Of pouring out more pow
