The earliest mode of disposing of
the bodies of the dead was by burning,
and the custom did not fall totally in

Several years ago discussion arose in
England about the propriety of return
/ ing to the practice, but it died out.
Recently the discussion has been re-
viyed, AID a late London letter saws
that this time ''several clergymen have
appeared as advocates of the system,
and certainly present strong arguments
in its favor. 1t would not be supris-
| ing if the custom were before long
adopted, at least in the large towns.
Certainly all practical arguments are
in its favor, while those against it are
purely sentimental.

New Year.-The New Year is upon
us. The old year has made obeisance
in his whitened locks, and has passed
into the sepulchre of years, and the
unfeged youth whose mission is to
sling the months into the various sea-
sons,-perhaps full of conceit, per
haps wise beyond his years--perhaps
looking back upon his progenitor with
a deal of disdain, and yet, maybe, with
a deal of love,-steps upon the stage
clad in the regal splendor of a King.
waving an icy sceptre and holding all
nature in ice-chains. We can forgive
the youthful monarch his conceit for
we do know that when he shall have
been wooed and won by the laughing
daughter Of the Enchantress who dwells
as yet unseen in his palace, Gas we
know he will be, } there will be grand
emancipation, and there will be heard
the bursting asunder of ice-bonds, and
all the little brooks will laughingly run
to the great ocean to tell the story of
their freedom. But this is neither
"here nor there" The New Year is
here. Another volume in the book Of
life is bound and laid away, and the
proof sheets of yet another are before
US for revision. Let US make it neat
clean proof beautiful record.
1t is proper that we recapituIate at
this time, that we look over the past
and see What we have done as a people
las city-as a community; but we
forgo the pleasure, asking only that
each take retrospective view, and
that all endeavor to bnild wiser and up
on grander foundations than they have
done in the year that is gone.
With our previous issue the Repor
ter commenced Vol. IT. For sixteen
years we have been either directly or
indirectly connected with the Reporter.
For the past three years we have been
directly connected with it, striving to
make it such paper as would prove a
welcome guest in every household in
our county. How well we have sue
ceeded we leave our patrons to answer.
In the coming year we hope to add to
its worth. Many of onr patrons are
owing US, and we call upon them to
pay US. We need money, and particu-
larly do we need it since the flames
have so cruelty dealt with US. We ask
for new subscribers, for monies Justly
ours. and for the hearty cooperation
of our friends who desire the success
of such paper as the Reporter is
striving to become. With good will to
all, and with no i'll will toward the
least in the great brotherhood, we wish
all "a Happy New Year" and may
God bless US all,-':bless every one"
