Lagrange (Ga.) Reporter: As
an evidence of the scarcity of mon

lowing account of prices paid for
some articles at the late DR.. Jones
S. Hilps, on last Monday: Good
mules sold for So each; good horses
at the same price; oxen sold for 50
each; young cows. with calves,
brought SO %; a good two-horse
wagon went for SO, and a log cart,
with irons, for 81. Wheat sold for
SO cents a bushel; a new buggy and
harness brought $25, and a carriage
and harness So. A horse collar was
the highest article sold, bringing 81

These sales were made on sixty

The Pulaski Citizen of the 10Th
ult., stated that the assessed value of
property, of Marshall county, in
Guiding real, personal and dogs, was
$40,0I3,676, and that of the 18th
district, "of which Giles was de
frauded," 81. L61, $50. Our friend
and contemporary is laboring under
quite a mistake as to figures, which
he can easily correct by referring to
his exchange list, and will find that
he has mistaken the total taxes,
$40,013,676, of our county, for the
total assessment thereof, which is
$3,737, 959.13, also, that he has mis-
taken the total taxes of the 18th
district, 81, .535, for the total as
sessment or value of taxable prop
erty, which is $4I6,O67. He thus
makes the taxable property of the
18th district, more than the entire
taxable property of our county, by
not noticing decimal points and
reading millions for thousands

The Northwestern Railroad.

In dispatch to the Fayetteville Dem.
ocrat, from Hon B. f. Walker, announ-
cling the passage through the House Of
the bill granting lands to the north. wes-
tern railroad to some point on the Little
Rock and Fort Smith Railway, he says ::
+" 1t passed over the head of Sadler Of
Franklin, and Moore, of Crawford, and
contrary to the report of the railroad
committee of the House" We think
there must be some mistake about our
Representative, Mr.. Moore, opposing the
bill. We know that, in the Senate, Hon.
Jesse Turner favored it, and made an ef.
fective speech for it, 1t was, perhaps.
reasonable that Sader, of Franklin,
should be against it as there was no pro
bable prospect of the contemplated
road striking that county. But, in the
case of our representative, We could see
no excuse for opposition to the BILL mn
less on the general principle Of oppos-
ton to State grants to railroads.
We arc inclined to think, however, that
Mr.. Moore, has been misrepresented.
Our people, generally, are thoroughly
awake to the importance Oft this road and
will do their part for its advancement.

The Northwestern Railway.

The following, from the Fayette-
vile Democrat of Saturday, we notice
that the location of the route of the
above read is approximated to, and the
"longest poll gets the pcrsimmons. .
Our neighbors proposition, seems to us
a little frothy. There are other advan
tages, besides the "gratest aid,' we
think, that will cut some figure in the To-
cation Of this railway, However, let all
the routes be canvassed the most
desirable and go ahead.
In the North West Arkansas railroad
bill that recently passe the Legislature,
there are but two points designated. Fay
etteville and Bentonville. The balance
of the route is left an open question, as 1t
should be- This road, like all other en-
terprises of the kind. will run the route
which offers the greatest aid II the
route via Boonsboro to Van Buren should
contribute the largest amount of material
aid, the road will probably be built on
that route. II, upon the other hand, the
people along the line to Alma, should
eutbid their neighbors. Alma will be the
lucky point. So with Ozark, or any 9th
er point. The question, then, being an
open one, and as it will require the united
effort of all our people to build the road,
we would suggest the wise policy of dis
earding all chickering's AS to point Of loca-
ton, get up sufficient stock, then locate
the road on the most practicable route.

ment. The old grow youthful through the
inhue CO of the happy hearted young bv
which they are surrounded. They live
over the sunny days of their joyous
childhood Adown the dim and misty
avenues of the past come tripping the
golden memories that twine themselves
forever round their breasts, and, like a
FURNISHED mirror, reflect back to their
enraptured visions, the Christmas days
that came to cheer their childhood hearts
With what rapturous delirium of de.
light We used TO hang up our stocking
on the old chimney. and lay down on
our little trundle, bed to sleep with " vis-
ions of sugar plums dancing in our
heads" Then it was a blessed day to
us, and now when matured manhood
has sprinkled our hair with frost, and fur
rowed our brow with Times pencilings,
it comes to our heart, with all its lovely
"reminiscences, and pure and holy teach
ings, to make us better man.
Why do we Keep Christmas why
do we constitute it the great rejoicing
day OF the whole year, aud lay all our
plans for such consummation Have
we no reason for it? At least three
fifths of the entire Christian world unite
with each other in its commemoraton as
the birthday of the Saviour. The Epis.
copal, Greek and Catholic churches make
it day to be kept in the same manner
as Sunday, while among some Methodist,
Christian, Lutheran and Universalist
churches it is sometimes observed The
Episcopalians and Universalsts dress
their churches with evergreens. and the
services of the former are peculiarly i'm
pressiyc. The Catholic church is more
grand, and her service is more beautiful
than on any other festival in the year
She decorates her altar, and the music is
appropriately joyful. For this reason, a
largo portion of the Christian world.
regardless of denonomination, keep
Christmas as day of general rejoicing.
Have your merry feasts, aud be hap,
py. Gather your friends and relations
around the fresde, and as you call to
mind the many birthdays that have pass
ell over your own heads, remember the
eighteen hundred and seventy fifth ami
versary of the Nativity of the Saviour.
We wish all our readers "Merry Christ.
