ImexcusabIe suffering.

That there is now, and will be dur
ing the next FIVE months, great
amount of suffering which can not
be avoided, no one can fail to see,
but at the same time, we have no
doubt there will be much which, by
the proper use of preventives, might
be saved. If the system is in a
healthy condition. sudden changes,
or even exposure. will have a much
less damaging effect upon it. To
keep the system in this condition, an
occasional dose of Hart Blood and
Liver Pills will be found invaluable.

~ Wendell Phillips, in a lecture
in New York Saturday evening,
after ennumerating various indus
pensable charges, which will posi-
bly, not be made, said that if they
failed to come, ''the boy is born to-
day who shall write the Decline
and Fall of the American Repub-
lic." The fact that Mr.. Phillips was
emphatic in the declaration that the
salty of the country depended on
General Grant being elected two
or three times more, shows pretty
plainly that this once popular lect-
ure has become a mere mounting
blatherskite. The American Re
public will get along very well, we
judge, without Mr.. Phillips panacea
for keeping it from going to pieces.

4 MERRY CHRISTMAS AND #
HAPPY NEW YER.

In obedience to a time honOred
custom Of the craft, no paper viii be
issued from this Office next week.
Christmas comes but once q year"
ana Che employees Of the GAZETTE
eGIce deserve respite from labor and
indulgence IN the holiday recrea-
Sions and joyous festivities.
Before another number Of the GA
zErTE reaches its patrons the year
1878 will have run its course and
been numbered with the past, and a
new year will have begun its cycle.
We have not time nor disposition to
moralize upon the events of the dy-
ing year. With tender sympathy
we would "leave the dead past to
bury its dead"-looking hopefully
forward to the brightly dawning flu
ture. Regrets and repinings over
what has been doesn't tend materially
to strengthen our energies for what
IS to be. We have all been blessed
as a nation, as a community and as
individuals, during the past year, far
beyond our merits. UntOward as
our surroundings may have been, or
may be now, we yet have much, very
much for selfgratulation. We still
live and enjoy the blessings OF free
men, and the great world around US
still moves and is as beautiful as
ever.
"This world is full Of beauty,
As other worlds above,
And If We did our duty,
II might be full Of love-"
Matters generally might be much
worse than they are. Let us resolve
to make them better by cheerful
hearts and earnest efforts. We ought
we can-wc must look ahead cheer
fully-hOpefully.
On the 2nd Wednesday Of the new
year, the GAZETTE will again greet
it's patrons and readers, when we
hope all will have been refreshed and
rejuvenated by recreation from cares
and by the innocent festivities Of the
season, and will be the better pre-
pared to enter upon the duties and
labOrs of another year.
We salute our readers with greet
ings Of A MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A
HAPPY New YEAR.

did not understand that the course Of the Foreman
had BEEN endorsed by the other members of the
Jury that it had not been enc by VOTE at least
he present al the timesand knew nothing of it.
Mr.. Lewis enforced his remarks ia his usual Sc
rene and impressive style He inside an undoubted
impression upon his brethren of the bar. He TALL
ed, however, in explaining what the Jury meant,
THEIR VERY LAST ACT, by seemingly SPONTANEOUS
offer of complimentary resolutions to the Foreman,
and which / ALONE opposed and begg ed them to
wait at least until the end of term. Mr.. Lewis
also failed TO show why HEthe only LEGAL ge nile
man ON the jury and sometimes himself acting
JUDGE-had not, at the proper time, admonished
the Foreman of his error, it his duty to have
DONE and then and there declared HIS dissent from
the opinion of Judge TriRg Judge EmmOns, who
by this time had evidently been touched with a
feeling of compassion, here cut on all further
discussion, and again peremptorily refused to ac-
cept my renewed offer to resign
Judge Andrews now forced to play his last
and most effective card. He rose and informed the
Court that the STATUTES OF THE UNITED STATES
FORBID ANY ONE FROM SERVING ON A JURY MORE
THAN ONCE IN TWO YEARS, and that he learned there
were some of the present Jurors who had served ~
that time. Immediately told the Judge that was
one of that number, and if he would let NE go, it
would probably satisfy the purposes OF tbs District
Attorney. Judge Enmons did not seem entirely
satisfied with the correctness of this Interpretation
which in my was individually wrong-but
after consulting with some members OF the bar he
at last, though with apparent reIutance; agreed to
relieve me. Judge Lewis was elected IN the
Jury room to NIL my vacant chair, and thus ended
this strange " COMEDY OF ERRoEs.' What may
follow do not know, can it be of amy conse-
quence to me. 1 trust now that am done with
Courts and Juries forever.
Please excuse this long and weariseme epistle.

DEAR GAzETTE-The noisy ele-
ment of my household has gone to
attend the Sunday morning dress-po-
rade, known in the better days of the
Republic as Sunday School, and
| will take advantage of the luU to
write to the GAZETTE, "hopinG these
few lines may find he, she or it, en-
loving the same Gods blessing
To patronize the dresspardde, a
fellow (plain), must of necessity deny
himself and wife many comforts, in
order that his children may make a
respectable show. For nothing short
of shoddy "Ogontz" are admitted,
free of Sneers.
The time was, when the back peaCS
were either very cheap or free, and
a threadbare could go to church and
quietly take = seat in one of them
and hear the aco,'d but, as the thing
now is, Mr.. Threadbare is forced in
to the cheap or Amen corner, or out
of the front door; and out he goes,
unless he has more piety than pride,
and he hardly ever has-''Or any
other man."
How happy is the man who hears Instructions
Aud don't give a red.
This is a day of decided progress
and things are transporting daily.
You know il used to take week
for anything to happen; but when il
did happen, every body knew it.
For it was every body's business to
tell it; it did not matter when OF
where it happened, or who it happen
ed on, so it happened.
But we now rely upon newspapers
especially s0eak kneed dasLies, for cur
rent events.
