LADIES' SEWING SOCIETY FAIR.-For
nearly year the ladies of Mr.. Rea'S con-
grcgation have had in contemplation a
Fair and Festival, meeting at his house
from week to week to work for this object
The Good Tcmplars have very Hndly do
mated the use of their commodiouS hall
for this occasion, where the Fair will be
held on the afternoon and evening Of
Tuesday preceding ChriStmas-Dec 18th.
The object of the Fair is to dispose OF the
articles made by the Society and its friends
together with the best eatables the season
will atford-the funds secured to 90 to the
furnishing of the new chapel. A large
variety of beautiful articles particularly
appropriate for Christmas gifts will be for
sale, besides hany pieces of household
use always sqleable. Three fine quilts
will also be disposed of, one of them
magnificent lOg-cabin silk quilt, just fin
ished, and containing nearly 5000 pieces.
1t is believed that a fair at this time will
accommodate many who GeSire to secure
gifts for friends. and that the devotion of
the society to its work, as well as the oh
iect of the fund ITSELF will commend it
to all, and secure a good attendance and
patronage.
On Christmas evening, Dec. 25th, the
usual festivities will take place in the NJ.
f. chHrch, to which all lovers Of good
music, good feeling and good times are
cordially invited.
The donation of the Presbyterian Board
of Church Erection 10 the building fund,
together with a private subscription also
in New York, will amount to $1,000 in
currency, which, with the subscriptions of
citizens OF our town, will secure the COM
pletiOn of the church free of debt. A num-
Der OF the pews have already been taken
on the five-year lease oGered by the Trus-
tees; and it is hoped that this generous
action of the Eastern Board will so estab-
lish confidence in the good will and deteI-
mination of the church to carry forward
its work that all the pews except those
kept free will now be taken. 1t is no
small matter to bring thousands OF dollars
to a far-Off town like this, and the enter
prise deserves the hearty support Of every
good citizen. Mr.. Rea has been a true
fnepd OF our town, faithfully representing
its interests wherever he went or wrote.
He has been true friend in our school,
and has helped in every enterprise which
tended to the benefit of our people.
The ladies of the Society ask the COOP
Grafton of all their friends in making this,
their first Fair, a grand success, aud let
every citizen patrOnize them. Articles
for the Fair may be left at the house of
Mr.. Rea, Mrs. Hill or Mrs. T. Philips, on
the hill, or with Mrs. DalgardnO or Mrs.
Jackman, in the lower town.

For THE PUGET SOUND WEEKLY ARGUs.l
There is power more mighty vet
Than saber blade or bayonet,
Even when a brave and reckless herd
VIII WELD them at tyrant's word;
Orwhen from point TO hIlt they're dyed
In opposition's sanguined tide,
And far more potent 'mOngst the free
Than is the dread artillery;
'Twere not such hardihood to brave
The rushing force of the tidal wave,
Or seek to check the swift advance
OF the mighty Alpine avalanche,
Or steer your bark on the -eething main
In the eye of the sweeping hurricane,
As TO disregard, or be needless still
Ofthe quiet voice of the peoples will,
For the word has gone out thro' all the land
And the people are up, tho they quiet stand
And the brazen cheeks Of the schemers pale
For the will of the people, it must prevail.

The precise total will never be

ruins. Brooklyn, on the 9Th inst,
was literally walking in the valley of
the shadow of death. Funerals of
such of the victims as had been
identified we're taking place from
nearly every street. The next day
the funeral of the unidentified ones
occurred. The procession was com
posed of the militia, police, band,
clergy in carriages, hearses escorted
by the military, mourners, city off
cials ald citizens in carriages. The
services in the cemetery consisted of
prayers and music by the church cho-
rails. Each coffin was very neat and
plain, the only ornaments being dia-
mond-headed tacks. Great care
was taken to rob the services of un-
necessary painful scenes. The bodies
were inferred in a trench IA feet
deep in a plot at Greenwood ceme-
terry. A monument will be erected
in the centre of the plot. About
5000 infantry formed the escort.
A meeting of actors and actresses
was held at Park Theatre, New York
and passed resolutions of regret at
the loss OF the actors, Murdoch and

upon every manager in the United

IsrnE AMERICAN RACE DroAy1Nep

lsTHE AMERICAN RACE DEcAY1NG? !?
This startling eonumdrum seems
to have worried but few people.
Those few, however, have seen cause
for alarm because we have drained
Ireland, Germany cannot spare any
more people, and the other countries
of Europe never will contribute many
souls to help ill the United States.
Mr.. Alexander Delmar comes nobly
to the rescue, and proves that this
centennial year is not the near pre-
cursor of our extinction as a race.
If the race was dying it would not be
much use to run for office or any
thing else. But all can take heart
and press forward as they read the
very. hopeful conclusions of Mr.. Del
mar:
Decaying? What with civil and
religious liberty; with freedom to
engage in all the pursuits Of lie; with
a Government of our own making
and a public burden of our choice;
with land teeming in every sort of
natural wealth, rich in forests, water
power, and coal deposits; with a pe-
NAL sun to ripen those fruits of the
earth which everywhere spring up in
abundance; with wholesome air to
breathe and wholesome water to
drink Decaying? The idea is ab-
surd. Never before 10 the history
Of the world has there been such vi
tality, such growth, such wholesome
and pure life in the passes as now
dwells upon this continent. The
poets may have imagined it, but his
tory nowhere furnishes the evidences
Of it.

ALARM FOR THE FUTURE.-When-
ever any event occursin this country
that causes any unusual popular com
motion, political, financial, or even
social or religious, the croakers and
prophets of evil seem to take mali
cious delight in efforts to excite the
apprehensions of the timid by ming
ling the noisome drippings of their
shallow, brains with the tears that
flow from their moistless eyes, and
exhibiting to the world the repulsive
compound as pretended wisdom.
During the suspense attending the
delay of the final decision of the
Presidential question, these owls and
ravens have been gloating in the
opportunity for indulging their chron-
ic habit of hooting and croaking-
the frightful imperfections of our
political system being the burden of
their plants, and the inevitable GER
tainty of the early downfall of the
Republic being the object of their
lugubrious representations. We
have been in receipt of essays from
this class of alarmists, sent for pub
lication. Not satisfied with their
own forebodings, they are anxious to
spread pail over the land. We are
not disposed to gRtify their ambition
in this respect, for the reason that
we cannot sympathize with their
sickly fears, anticipations or theories,
but have sufficient patriotic faith to
believe the day of doom, which they
would have us think is near at hand,
is not yet ready to break in destruc-
tive horrors upon this land of popu-
lar intelligence and free government.

The Presidential muddle is yet as
unsettled as ever; nothing will def
initely be known till after the count
ing of the electoral vote in Febru-
ary. The excitement in Washington
is intense, and unless it subsidies
in few days, there is likely to be an
adjournment of Congress until after
the first of January.

ADVANCE IN SMvER.-Our people
