PARTRIDGEs. Compliant is general IN all

the bay of a scarcity of parrldges. Old Stat.

the dearth in other quarters. Quantities are
brought here, but like the late transit over the

ny Christmas to you Mr.. E ltor, and may your
heart and home receive as large store of bless
ing this festive season, as you have given pleas
ure to your readers 10 the year so fast passing
away. The very word 'Christmas briggs joy
to the heart, iu memory if nought also, and
even if grey hairs do silver our locks and wrD-
kles mar our comiucss, the magic word will
rouse the latent sparks of long ago childhood,
and warm love and charity into action. as IN
the days when we hung up stockings and be-
lie ,ed with the optimist faith oi childhood that
Santa Claus came with his sleigh and reindeer
TO fill thea, aud the 'warlockS and wlS-O-the-
Wsp could do no harm on Christmas eve, and
the pretty fables OF the rose tree bossomlng at
twelve clock; the thorn putting forth It's green
and shining leaves; the OK III his stall, the
horse Ia the stable, and the stag in his terny
lair, koeeling IN alteration That pleasant sea-
son of crcdulity has passed away ADD maturer
ago brings larger cause for rejoicing as
the old chronicers tell US King Arthur and his
Knights OF the Round Table did, who
"Sewed up salmon, venison and wild bears
By hundreds, aud by duzeus, and by scores,
But in filing our hearts with thanktulness for a
Saviour; thoughts for the poor, close drawing
of bonds of kindred hearts, which the cares
and pleasures Of our journey through life are
SO apt TO cast loose; and in this reviewing OF
every high faculty Of our souls, Christmas will
be an oasis which will give untold retreshment
to our wcared souls as we toll up and down

CHINA MEMBERS IN TROUBLES WIN. II
Thompson aud Wm. Golden, were before the
Police Justice yesterday morning, upon the
charge OF selling cement for mending china by
sample without having license They were
also supposed to be the parties who had stolen
gold watch from the house of Thomas Me-
hewitt, which was entered on Thursday by two
men under the preteDce Of NEEDING china. II
was proven by the defendants that they made
the cement in the city and we're not, therefore
liable to the charge of violation of the revenue
law. Mrs. McNevitt, being summoned, failed
to identify either party as the men who had
entered her house. Thompson and Golden,
with two other men, came to the city about
two weeks ago from Alexandria, and carried
on partnership in peddlng cement, but the
business did not flourish, and the latter two
suddenly disappeared about the time Nc
Nevitt's watch was stolen. Justice White
ordered Golden and Thompson to leave the
city within tweoty-f -four hours.-Rtch Eng.

RIyIN. SOMEWHAT DELAYED.

Some person who holds one or more
Of the old Minnesota Railroad Bonds
for which he possibly paid seven
teen cents on the dollar-has gone to
abusing this State, through a New
York paper, because he has not been
paid the faco of his bonds with the
accrued interest. FIe will be consider
ably older than he is to-day when
Minnesota pays these old bonds dol
lar for dollar. And those persons
who predicted that the States credit
would be ruined if these bonds were
not paid, must feel considerably exas-
perated at the long continued delay
of this threatened catastrophe. The
State is able to borrow all the money
it wants; Minnesota merchants can
get credit for goods in New York as
readily as merchants of the same
standing in other States can, and the
old bonds are waiting for payment
until their holders are willing to take
what they are equitably worth. The
people of Minnesota are disposed topay
that much, but they are not, and un-
til the crack of doom will not be,
willing to paw any more.
