he New Year.

We have all awakened to a realiza
ton OF the fact that another notch has
been made on the calendar, q new lea
turned for the history of the coming
twelve months, and that one more veal
is gone into the eternity Of the past How
our years slip away Winter melts into
spring, spring turns to leafy summer.
autumn comes apace, and ere we are
aware the sad winds OF winter are signing
about us again. But they leave their
visible signs, for all that. We see wrinkles
on brows that so lately were smooth as
year. a'bs y ye GaEav AaiFs sSo2@es . and thcken
as firm as rocks. Sickness comes, and the
inevitable time when we follow the loved
and lost to the city of the dead. And
when we look back, the record Of our life
seems but history of those about whose
last resting places the winds weave their
snowy shrouds.
But the suggestions of the occasion are
not OF retrospection alone. The present
demands its share OF attention, and the
future presses on us. The year 1872 be-
longs now to history. We know all its
tasks and trials. its victories and defeats,
its Joys and sorrows. Turn we now to
the new year. Each of us is an actor in
the great drama of life, and the part we
act, be it good or evil is not without its
influence And now that we have come
to the month of Janus of two faces, gaz-
ing into the past as we'll as the future, let
us look backward, that its experience and
teachings may guide us in the future Not
too sorrowful, nor too sanguine, but hope
fully and manfully, with good purpose
and brave hearts. Let all hail the year
that comes in; guard we'll its hours that
they steal not away good purposes, and
the honesty, truth and charity which adorn
the character Of man. And when De-
cember's snow shall again have marked
years decease, beware that the retrospect
does not present weary track, each day
marked by the wreck of good purpose,
or the monument reared by folly and
crime. To our friends, each and all, A
HAPPY New YEAR.

errible Accident.

A terrible accident happened in New
bury, Pa, on Christmas evening by
which fourteen persons were killed out
right, and forty injured, some of them so
that they cannot recover. About three
hundred persons had assembled IN the
audience room of the Baptist church, to
participate in Christmas festivities, when
in the midst of the exercises the floor gave
way and the whole company were precipi-
tated into the cellar. When theacrash
came there went up heartrendng wall
Of mangled humanity, Children wildly
shrleked for their parents, and the groans
OF the wounded and dying filled the air.
TO add TO the horror the oil lamps of the
editice ignited aud bid fair to destroy all
IN general contlagration.
Those outside worked with a will and
used every effort to rescue the living.
The church noW was on fire, but provi-
dentially the flames could be reached and
speedily eXtinguished. Before the floor
sank many of those within were able to
reach windows and leaped to the ground,
q distance OF fifteen feet. AT II O'Clock
fourteen dead bodies had been recovered
There We're some forty or fifty wounded,
many of them seriously; some will
probably die

A Case in Louisiana and one in Arkansas

The disgraceful state OF affairs in Louisi
ana, and the action Of the Federal officials
are receiving the condemnation of even
republican papers in the north. 1t is con.
coded in almost all quarters that the in
reference of Judge Durell, who is a can
didate for U. S. Senator, is liable to grave
suspicious of having been influenced by
personal motives. The series of inlunc-
tons by which Yarmouth was deposed
ard his subordinate placed in his position
and whole recount of the vote ordered
constituted a dangerous precedent-and
is quite as full of peril as any result from
any other course could have been
While the Louisiana cauldron is seeth-
ing, there has commenced little simmer
ing in kettle in Arkansas There, how
ever, matters are reversed. A candidate
on the Liberal ticket has applied to the
U. S. Court for an Injunction restraint Q
certain republicans, claiming to be elected,
from acting. He also asks that Gov. Had
ley and others be compelled to deposit
with the court all original returns and
documents. The cases of Louisiana and
Arkansas are exactly parallel, with only a
a reversal of the parties complaining.
In Louisiana it is charged that exactly
10000 colored Republican voters were re-
fused registration and the right OF suf-
frage. In Arkansas it is alleged that
Liberals who went to the polls with certi-
ticates of registration in their hands were
deprived of the right to vote, and were
told that their names were not on the poll
books. These DISTINGUISHED men impro-
vised polling-places and cast many thou
sand votes. But, aside from these. it is
claimed that the Liberal ticket was elect
ed by fair majority
So it seems that the radical OK is not
gored on every occasion. The country
will look with great interest to see
whether the scales of federal justice are
to weigh causes in Arkansas as they do
in Louisiana.

A Cold and Periious Walk.

CoLLINGwOOD, Ontario, Dec 81. Cap
tam Orr and his Chief Engineer, with
four Of the crew of the steamer Cumber-
land, which was frozen up in Bear Lake
in November, arrived last night, they
having walked down along the north
shore Of Georgian Bay. Captain Orr re-
ports having left the steamer in safe quar-
'ers with the first mate in charge. Tie
steward, stewardess and two walters were
also left on board. The party experienced
terrible weather and endured great priva-
tons during their long tramp, being
twenty days on foot. All of the party
are frost bitten. Eighteen of the crew
are still on the way down, having been
lett eight miles from Bruce mines.

The LEGISLATURE,

The representatives of Names dignity
and power met at Augusta on Wednesday,
but as the Journal is printed on the even
ing OF that day. we are without any re-
port of proceedings. So far as can now
be seen, but small amount of legislation
will be done this winter, although it is
difficult to foretell how many members
may have pet bills for the preservation of
fish in ponds with unpronounceable names,
or for leave to extend wharves that meyer
will be extended. So far as can now be
seen, the fight tor another railroad con-
| nection from Bath to Portland, will be
the measure about which will cluster the
greatest interest. This winter the petition
comes directly from the Boston and Maine
Railroad, while before it came from citi-
zens of Bath only. 1t is understood that
a strong lobby force has been retained on
| either side, and that a vigorous fight will
| be made. The ostensible end is another
route from Bangor to Boston, by way of
| the Knox and Lincoln and the still embry-
otto Penobscot Bay and River Road. But
there are so many ways that are dark
about these railroad schemes, that it is
! impossible to tell whether or not they are
intended to shoot where they are aimed.
Some other railroad charters are to be
| asked for, including one from West w ater-
vile to Augusta with the purpose of con-
| Meeting with a road thence to Wiscasset,
that has as yet only a paper existence.
Next to railroads the proposed change
of County lines will cause most strife.
| The scheme to make Dexter the shire
| town of Piscataquls, with portions of Som
erset and Penobscot added, will be urged
| with persistence and feeling, to Judge
from local manifestations. If the towns
to be taken from Somerset could be shear
ed from the western side, where so much
bitter feeling exists concerning the recent
transfer of the county buildings to Show
hogan, it might give satisfaction; but the
eastern towns will scarcely have time to
get acquainted with one strange shire,
before they are hurried to another one.
These court houses on wheels are not
desirable institutions.
The prohibitory law OF course will
need tinkering. 1t always does. Sensi-
BILE of the follv cider olr1.artso; u.
more reasonable members will seek t
wipe it out, and will be opposed by tn
zeaots. A proposition to give portion
OF the fines to informers will also be intro
duced.
Educational matters will be agitatec
again. The questions Of supervisors
uniformity OF text books, and compulsory
attendance Of children within certain
limits of ages, will be pressed upon the
Legislature, with what result cannot b,
predicted with certainty

he Stokes Trial.

In the Stokes case now on trial. Stokes
was put on the stand and Testified, his
testimony being substantially the same as
III the first trial. In proceeding to give
his intentions and motives prior to the
attack at the Hotel, when heshot Fisk,
the counsel for the prosecution objected
several times, claiming that as the words
OF Fisk after he was shot had been ey-
Guided by the Judge the testimony of
Stokes should also be excluded. but JUDGE
Boardman overruled the objection and al
lowed Stokes TO proceed Stokes said
that when about to leave the hotel and
having partly descended the ladies stair
way, he saw Fisk enter the door, that Fisk
pulled ont pistol, and was holding it
with both hands. Stokes then sprang to
the left to be out Of range. and immedi-
ately took his own pistol out of his pocket
and fired. At the first shot Fisk exclaimed
"Ohh' and at the second shot, Fisk turned
partly around, said he was shot, and
seemed to drop his pistol. Stokes testified
further that be had no generalization to
Kill Fisk, and had not time to think. Saw
flsk's pistol distinctly and believed his
life in danger. Did not take particular
aim at Fisk. Stokes denied that Hart was
anywhere around at the time, and Harris
testimony that he crouched along the cor
ridor was not true. Was unable to return
on meeting Fisk He denied other testi-
mony given by the boy Hart, and said
Fisk did not identity him as having shot
him, but simply identified him as Mr..
Stokes.
On Tuesday, Commodore Vanderbilt
testified that Fisk was reckless man,
and that he had bad opinion of him from
the start. His knowledge, however, as to
Fisk was based on hearsay. Vice Presi-
dent Diven of the Erie also testified con-
corning the character of Fisk. Henry F.
Chester, a carpenter, testified to having
been passing the ladies' entrance to the
hotel when Fisk was shot; went in and
saw lady pick up pistol, which was
silver plated. A pistol was shown him
which he denied was the one he saw pick
ed up. Henry F. Clark testified relative
to Fisk's character, saying that Fisk was
considered a man of desperate expedients

A Vacant Throne.

Kamehameha is dead. Kane. was king
of the Sandwich islands, and was man
of considerable character for barbarian.
He ruled a turbulent race, and had
brought them to pretty decent condition,
considering that they knocked on the head
the distinguished navigator who led the
way to their ocean home, with the pur-
pose of introducing to them the delights
of European existence. But notwthstand-
ing that Cook persisted, the white mans
intended gifts survived, so that rum, to-
bacco, small pox and other disorders not
to be mentioned to ears polite were plant
ed there with celebrity and certainty.
These marks of the distinguished consid
Grafton of the superior race were such
that Lo the poor Indian got into his grave
with great rapidity. But those who have
been there feel certain that as place to
view symmetrical native girls jumping
from precipices into the sea, and for pig
or puppy roasted in plaintaln leaves and
stuffed with yam, or for big volcanoes,
the realms of the deceased king beat the
world. But what we started out to say
is that Kamehameha left no heir to the
throne. With him the royal line pegs out
Therefore revolution impends to see
who shall grasp the sceptre with unlineal
hand Uncle Samuel, who keeps an eye
on all the islands of the seas adjacent to
his coasts-and in his eagle vision thou
sand miles count as nothing-is putting
out feelers to ascertain how the Sandwich
ers would like to 'put on pantaloons and
vote" He's willing TO take them into his
variegated family and extend over them
the wing feathers Of the eagle. A fleet of
war steamers, with all their powers of
persuasion, has gone thither. By and by
we shall bring couple of these yellow
chaps into the Senate chamber at Wash
ington, to sit beside the lineal descendants
of those who in Africa filed their teeth and
ate their captives on the banks of the
Congo All of which shows what great
and glorious country we live in, also how
much greater and more glorious it may
become by embracing opportunities as
they come along
