Holidays are over, and everything
passed off quietly, except for the
noise created by the boys shooting
their crackers.
The Patrons here had an Oyster
Supper Christmas eve.
Most of the school teachers in this
township had weeks vacation dur.
ing the holidays, but are now busy
at work again.
A protracted meeting is in pro.
gress at the Presbyterian church.
1t commenced JAN. 1st. There has
been a very good attendance, es-
pecially at the night services. Only
two applications for membership up
to this date, Friday, 7th.
There is considerable talk in this
vicinity about case of small -pox
three miles from here, on the border
of this and Washington tp. The
doctors say the patient will recover if
proper care is taken.
The warm weather of the past few
days Il s started the wheat and grass
to growing, and it has more the ap-
pearance of May than January.

THE WEEKLY sun.
1874
VIEW YORK.

I7S6. NEW YORK. 1876.
Eighteen hundred and seventy-six Is the Centen-
nial year. II is also the year in which Opposi-
tion House of Representatives, the first since the
war, win be in power at Washington; and the year
of the tweDty-thrd election of President of the
United States. Ali of these events are sure to be
latter and all of them and everything connected
with them will be fully and freshly reported and
expounded in The SUN.
The Opposition House of Representatives, taking
up the line Of inquiry opened years ago BY The
Sun, will sternly and diligently investigate the
corruptiOns and misdeeds Of GRANTS adminiztra-
tion and will, it is to be hoped, lay the foundation
for new and better period in national history.
Of all this The Sun will contain complete and ac-
curate accounts, furnishing its readers with early
and trustworthy information upon these absorbing
TOPICS.
The twenty-ihird Presidential election with the
preparations for it, win be memorable as deciding
upon GRANTS aspirations for third term of pow
er and plunder, and still more deciding who
shall be the candidate of the party of Reform, and
as eecting that candidate. Concerning all these
subjects, those who read the Sun viii have the
constant means of being thoroughly well informed.
The WEEKLY SUN, which has attained circuls-
tion of over eighty thousand copies already has its
readers in every State and Territory and we trust
that the year 1876 will their numbers doubled.
II will continue TO be a thorough newspaper. All
the general news of the day viii be found in il,
condensed when uninportant, at full length when
of moment and always, we trust, treated in .
clear, interesting and instructive manner.
1t is our aim TO make the WEEKLY Sun the best
family newspaper in the world, and we shall con-
tinue to give in its columns large amount of mis-
cellaneOusreading, such stories, tales, poems,
scientific intelligence and agricultural information,
foF which we are not able TO make room IN our
daily edition. The agricultural department espe-
cially is one of its prominent features. The fash
ions are also regularly reported in its columns and
so are the markets Of every kind.
TIE WEEKLY SUN, eight pages with ffty-six
broad columns, Is only st.90 year: postage pre-
paid. As this price barely repays the eoet of the
paper, no discount can be made from this rate to
clubs, agents, POstmasters, or any one.
The DAILY SUN, a large fOur-page newspaper Of
twenty eight columns, gives all the news for two
cents a copy. Subscription. postage prepaid, Sc
month, or $3.50 year. SUNDAY edition extra,
$40 per yesr. We have no travelling agents.

Concord To.

The most pleasant social occa-
sion We have been permitted to wit
ness for some time was enjoyed at
the School House in District No.
of this TIP. on Christmas Eve. Ithad
been announced few days before
that there would be Christmas Tree
at that place, and the arrangements
and preparations were such that it
far exceeded the expectations of all
present. The exercises consisted of
declamations, reading and singing by
the young ladies and gentlemen OF
the neighborhood, original essays by
]. 7. Beveridge and S. E. Redkey,
and an address by the Rev. Mr.. Lee,
of New Market. The exercises were
all good, and did credit to all partic-
ipating.
After the exercises were over sod
Kris. made his appearance, loaded
with gifts for the ''little folks, which
he distributed, and which added
much to the mirth and merriment of
the occasion. The Tree was heavily
loaded, there being three hundred
and thirty-fve gifts, which were dis
tributed among those present. I
have no doubt many a heart was
made happy, and that all felt that it
was good to be there. The best of
order prevailed, and every thing con-
nected with it rendered it an occa-
sion long to be remembered by the
people of CONCORD.

Republican Party of Chic,
Well Done!

To the Editor of the Ohio State Journal.
The Senate and the House of the
Ohio Legislature III caucus last night
put in nomination for the position of
Clerk colored man; the Senate, Mr..
W. S. Thomas, of Delaware; the
House, Mr.. Jas. S. Tyler, of Colum-
bus. The point worthy of remark is,
not that these gentlemen were nomi-
mated because they are colored, but
that possessing the requisite qualif-
cations, the color Of their skin was
no bar to their nomination. Unex-
ceptionable in their morals, gentle
manly in their bearing, ready with
the pen, prompt and faithful in the
execution of duty, the work assigned
them will be performed with credit
to themselves and advantage to the
State. To their other qualifications
let us add that they both served their
country with distinction on the bat
tle-feld in the hour of its greatest
peril. All honor to the Republican
party. JAS PoNDExTER.

The Bankrupt Law.
HuIspoRo. O. Jan. s. 1871

HnLsBoRo, o., Jan. s, 1876.
EDITOR News Since my commu-
nication of November 6, 1873, as to
the status of the Bankrupt Law, at
that period of time, 1 have been
SO often inquired of, as to its present
status, that I have concluded to re-
lieve myself of further inquiry by
publishing that portion of the amend
ed act of June %, 1874, which is
material to be known by those who
wish to take the benefit of the origin
al Bankrupt Act and the acts amend
atory thereto, viz:
SEC. 8. That in cases of compul-
sorry or involuntary bankruptcy, the
provisions of said act, and any
amendment thereof, or of any sup
plement thereto, requiring the pay
ment of any proportion of the debts
of the bankrupt, or the assent of any
portion of his creditors, as condi-
ton of mis- discharge from his debts,
shall not apply but he may, if other
wise entitled thereto, be discharged
by the court in the same manner and
with the same effect as if he had
paid such per centum of his debts,
or as if the required proportion OF
his creditors had assented thereto.
And in cases of voluntary bankrupt
cy, no discharge shall be granted to
a debtor. whose assets shall not be
equal to thirty per centum of the
claims proved against his estate,
upon which he shall be liable as
principal debtor, without the assent
of at least one-fourth of his creditors
in number, and one third in value
and the provision in section thirty
three of said act of March second
eighteen hundred and sixty-seven,
requiring fifty per centum of such
assets, is hereby repealed.
By this section it will be perceived
that the so per cent clause of the
act of 1867 is repealed, and instead
thereof, 80 per cent. has been sub
stituted as the per centage to be
paid by an applicant in voluntary
Bankruptcy, aud no per centage al
all is required to be paid in cases o.
involuntary Bankruptcy. The sc
per cent. required to be paid in the
case of voluntary applicants, is moi
80 per cent. on each claim that may
be proven against the applicant, but
on the aggregate amount of claims
that may be proven, and if the whole
of such 80 per cent, by the judg
ment of the Court, be ordered to be
paid to one, two or three creditors
or more, who have superior liens, by
mortgage, Judgment or otherwise
nevertheless the applicant is entitled
to his discharge, although the re
naming creditors may not receive
anything.
| 1 hope this explanation may salts
fy the many inquiries about the
status of the law.
