Attractions for the Holidays.

To meet the demand Of the holiday
season p g. Matthias, the well-known
Jeweler on west Main street, made
heavy additions to his stock, consisting
of rich, rare and beautiful specimens in
his line, specially adapted to buyers who
contemplate making presents to relatives
or friends. While in general terms it
may be remarked that the stock at this
house will compare favorably with any
ever exhibited in our midst, the beauty
of design and perfection of finish of
many of the articles cannot be exeell-
ed. We can but briefly refer to the
principal attractions, which is perhaps
as well, as our readers will be amply re-
paid by visiting the establishment and
ascertaining for themselves the exact
nature of the inducements offered. His
stock of fine watches comprises the
most celebrated American and foreign
makes, in great variety, plain and chas-
ed cases. A few of the principal at
fractions in the jewelry line are brace
lets, chains, coral, amethyst, Roman and
gold sets in the latest styles. In the mis-
cellaneous department will be found
beautiful bronze figures, several styles
of music-boxes. This house is emf
nently reliable, and all representations
of the firm or employees can be implic-
ity relied on.

The Rev. p. v. Ferree, died in this
place Oct. Sd, 1868 and was buried in
the Cemetry of the NJ. E. Church until
last week the place of his sepulehre has
been unmarked. To those who cherish
ed the memory of the good man in their
hearts it seemed not fitting that his
grave should remain unhonored, and a
few weeks ago Mrs. John F. Mains and
Miss Lizzie Wright constituted them
selves a Committee to solicit subscrip-
tions for the purpose of procuring a
Monument, and readily obtained the
sum of Fifty dollars from our citizens
being now prepared to give out the work
of constructing and erecting a Monu-
mem they made the acquaintance of
Messrs o. F. Mehurin & Sons of New
ark, who when they learned the nature
of the case, offered to put up one of
their fine S85 Monuments for the sum
of $50, which generous offer the ladies
readily accepted fully approaching the
value ofthe donation of S35, made appar-
ent in the size and beauty of the monu
ment put up by them. Verify all mar
bic dealers are not marble hearted"
Though some by their intrusion into
houses of mourning show less sensibility
and feeling than brutes. We think the
liberality of Messrs Mehurin and Son
will be remembered to their advantage
by this community. S.

IL There To Be "a Reign of Terror''
in New YOrks

From the New York Chronicle.
If there are any Americans who are
incapable of comprehending the terror
which pervades French society at the
possible elevation of the Communists to
power, their difficulties on this point will
cease when they come to understand the
scope and tenor of the resolutions and
speeches at the workingmen's mass meet
ing in this city on Thursday night
This meeting was organized for the
praiseworthy purpose of presenting to
the public the claims of the working
men to employment and assistance dur
ing the approaching hard winter, and it
is almost certain that any real practical
plan presented for that purpose would
be adopted, and the earnest cooperation
of the municipal, State and Federal au-
thorities, and the still more effective aid
of private citizens could be relied on in
the emergencies.
The incentives for the adoption of
prompt and Immediate remedial meas
ures were most pressing and urgent. 1t
was reported at the meeting, and proba-
bly, with only too much truth, that the
destitution in this city is great and is
rapidly increasing, and that the means
for relieving it are wholly insufficient.
At eleven trades in this city usually en-
ploying 1000 skilled men, only 5000
are now at work, leaving 10000 idle
Of the number of unskilled male and
female work-people out of employment,
no accurate information can be obtain
ed, but it is estimated that in the entire
State 1000 skilled workmen, represent
ing nearly a million of persons, are now
demanding not charity, but work. This
estimate is undoubtedly exaggerated, as
is would make it appear that one-ffth
of the total population of the State is in
destitution, which is certainly not the
case. But after making all due allow
ance for the natural desire to magnify
| the general suffering usual in cases OF
this kind, it must be admitted that the
distress is sufficiently serious to de-
mand immediate attention and prompt
relief.
But when the public comes to look for
the practical suggestions which might be
reasonably supposed to emanate from the
parties who are the chief sufferers during
the present stagnation, there is most
unaccountable and, under the circum-
stances, most lamentable lack of infor-
nation. But we have long string OF
resolutions borrowed from the worst and
most incendiary platform of the extreme
Communists of Europe, and repudiated
at the Internationalists Con vention late
ly held in Geneva. The resolutions
start out with the information, which
ought to be entirely needless, that the
workmen wish to avoid all outrages on
person and property. But they want
work, not charity, and until they obtain
this work they propose as follows:
Resolved, That we will, in this oul
time Of need, supply ourselves and oul
families with proper shelter and the ne.
cessaries Of life and will send all oui
bills for the same to the City Treasury
to be hquidated, until such time as we
lshall obtain work, and pay for all oui
work" /"

PROCLAMATION.
To the Citizens Of Perry aad Sur
runding Counties!

We are assured that three-fourths of
the Farmers have resolved to conduct
their business on cash basis-a resolu-
tion which we hartily concur and will
assist in carrying out by establishing a
CASH STORE with ONE PRICE on each
article and POSITIVELY NO DEVIATION.
We know this is the true principle upon
which to conduct a mercantile bust
ness, and trust twill be appreciated by
the people. We propose to furnish
goods on these terms at as small a per
cent, as they can be handled, which will
be the rates established for furnishing
goods to the Patrons of Husbandry
throught the country-only we give ALL
cash customers the advantage of the re-
duced prices.
On and after the 1st day of Januay,
1874, we will close our books and adopt
the above plan. We hope that none
will take offence at this and we are con-
vinced that every sensible man will view
then same light we do--as being best

He Wanted TO Dies
Qew Lexington Tribune.

From the New Lexington Tribune
A widow lady living, not a thousand
miles from here, with one child,-a son
had hired girl, between whom and
the son, she thought she discovered a
growing intimacy.
Every Saturday evening when the do
mestic returned home, the young man
was discovered sitting on the fence some
distance from the house, waiting for his
fair one, whom he would accompany
home in the twilight.
The mother not caring to have her
son make love to the "help" proposed
to test the extent of her sons attach
ment.
On the following Saturday, she sent
the girl away on some pretended errand,
and adjusting her (the girl's) bonnet and
shawl she gayly tripped down the path
in the direction of the girls home
Arriving at the fence, she was tender
ly assisted over by the youth, when a
pair of loving arms entwIned her waist,
and sweet voice said: "Mollie! dar-
ling, give me kiss" When, OIL hor-
ror, voice from beneath the veil said:
MY son! tohat do you want?"
Ans. Mother, want to die.

WAsHINeroN's OUApRILLE PARI


WAsHINGToN's QUADRILLE PART
NER.-Mrs. Frances M. Burling died in
Milford, in this State, recently, aged 96
years. Her maiden name was Hurst.
She was belle in New York society
nearly eighty years ago. On one occa-
sion, at public reception in that city
she was Gen. Washington's partner in a
dance. She was on terms of intimate
acquaintance with Lafayette, Aaron
Burr, Alexander Hamilton and many of
the great men and women of that day.
Her personal "reminiscences of the early
days of the republic were very interes-
ting, she retaining a recollection of the
piquant small talk as we'll as the notable
incidents of the time. Burling slip was
named after her husband, who was a
prominent resident of New York City
half century ago, and who owned
much of the property in the vicinity of
the slip. He removed to Milford many
years ago with his wife and daughter,
where he died. Mrs. Burling left a
large amount of property. Besides her
daugter, an unmarried brother, aged 90,
survives her.

The Aldine ChrOmOs for 1874.

The two chromos presented to sub
scribers of The ALDINE for 1874 are
such beautiful and unusual works Of art
faithful copies OF actual paintings in
oil made by the celebrated artist, Thomas
Moran, from studies of nafure-that
we feel justified in calling special atten-
tion to them. These chromos represent
scenes characteristic of the East and the
West; the White Mountains of New
Hampshire, and the Cliffs of Green
River in Wyoming Territory. Tn all
the range of grand and beautiful Ameri-
can scenery, it would be difficult to find
two more picturesque or charming views,
unlike as nature in her varying moods,
yet appropriate companion pieces
The view in the White Mountains
gives the beholder grand and sublime
scene of the most famous region in New
England, picture which is filled with
the very spiritof the region. The sub
ject is treated with much breadth and
feeling, without an overcrowding OF
peaks and cliffs which so often spoil the
artistic effect. The top of the principal
mountain is surrounded by clouds of
magical beauty, which add life to the
scene, indicating, as they do, action
The picture is one ofthe elements-earth
air, water-thrown together by the hand
ofthe great artist. Such picture is al
ways fresh, and never grows dull. The
dashing brook, the rich group of au-
tumn-clothed trees, the deep-down, far
away meadows, the stream rushing down
the mountains side, the crags and rocks;
the hint ofcloud mysteries, and innum-
cradle mountains beyond, all of which
the artist gives us in this picture, make
it the most notable and really artistic
chrome ever offered to the American
public.
In pleasing contrast with the blue
clouds and cool heights of the White
Mountains, we have in the Cliffs ot
Green River a golden, sun-bathed land.

and this Mr.. Moran has faithfully re-

one side of the river, rejecting all the
brilliant hues of the sky, which are also
reproduced in the water. The picture
is exceedingly brilliant, but none toe

Novel Explosion.

Mr.. George w. Strong, living at Lo-
gan, Ohio, bought, some time since, a
new cook stove. After it had been in
use few days, Mrs. s. kindled fire in
the stove preparatory to getting supper,
one evening, and as she was about leav-
ing, terrible explosion took place, blow
ing pots, kettles, stove-lids, &C., about
the room promiscuously, and creating a
great sensation in the neighborhood, but
luckily, doing no further damage.
1t was afterward ascertained that the
explosion was caused by powder which
had been used in mining the coal, which
becoming damp was not ignited when
the blast was set off. This powder, by
some means got into Mr.. SIS coal pile,
and thence into the stove, with the result
above stated.
Mr.. s. states that the stove is a re-
markably heavy and strong one. If it
had been one of the light stoves, now in
common use, the consequence might
have been very serious.
The name of this stove is the "Sensa-
tion," said to be the best in use, and sold
exclusively by G. II. Stafford, Somerset,
