NEW DUNGENEss, March %, 1876.
Winter seems to have forgotten that he
has been here already, and has come back
to make sure. We have had snow, rain
and blow, but it has not kept our citizens
from enjoying themselves.
The Good Templars of this place gave a
social party and dance on the 18th for the
purpose Of raising money to Iiquidate
their debt. The ball commenced rolling
about 1-2 O'Clock P. NJ, when some good
singing and music was rendered, after
which came the supper in which all, old
and young. participated as matter OF
course, Next came the grab-bag. from
which may be had anything that you
might wish for. Here you would get a
$500 ring tor 25 cents; next came the
post-oliice, where all who wished could get
letter for 25 cents. When the comnanv
was tired of all these things, part retired
to the lower hall, where dancing became
the order Of the night, and the remainder
wended their way home. On tho whole,
all were well satisfied. and the society re-
allied the sum Of $50 when all expenses
were paid.
might say that this society is threat
ening to become quite strong, and it is
hoped will do much good. They have
now fine hall, two stories high, and are
nearly out ofdebt.
Quite sad catastrophe has occurred
lately IT this Place. The Railroad Band,
on which we placed so much hope, is no
more. 1t has "busted," and now the
weary workman has to bear his hard lot
without any ofthe soothing strains so Oft
en- heard here before. 1t is hoped that the
Band will shortly start up again.
There is quite an excitement here ut
present on account of the Indians getting
ready to go to war with the Indians from
the other side. 1t appears that some of
the Clalam Indians killed Cowhican
chief, and the relations of the Chief are
coming to have revenge. The Neah Bay
Indians are expected up here to take part
ia the fun.
Mr.. George Sterming and family, Of
your city, are down here. Mr.. Sterming
has in contemplation the erection of a
barn upon his farm here, and Is already
In the receipt Of cargo Of lumber for that
purpose.

TREEs.-During recent VII"
upon the hill we were m"c2 ''''s''' 7!
to note among other evidences OF
imnroyement the growing taste for
planting and cultivating trees as a
means Of beautifying the homes Of
quite a number of the residents
The estimation in WHICH trees are
held would constitute very fair test
not only of the taste, but Of the ele-
vation of sentiment and thought with
which an individual or people are
endowed. The groves were Gods
first temples and they have always
been associated with some of the
1oftiest sentiments and noblest aspi-
ratiops of mankind. There is some
thing in the presence of trees which
inspires loftiness of thought, and we
verify believe it is harder for a per-
son to lapse into meanness, or give
way to groveling instincts when sur
rounded by these silent monitors OF
nature than amid the hard environ
ments Of treeless town or barren
and unadorned demesne. a home
embellished with trees and shrubbe-
ry and flowers presents its own cer-
tifcate of the character Of its peo-
pie, and continually exerts civiliz-
ing and refining influence upon
them. A child brought up in such a
home, especially among ancestral
trees which spread their boughs
abroad in perpetual benediction, will
expand with a fuller and purer life
and have higher sentiments and as
pirations than one who is encircled
by barrenness and desolation. Trees
are objects of love and veneration as
no other inanimate thing can be.
How many memories of childhood
and tender associations of our ripper
years gather around the trunks or
whisper among the branches of we'll
remembered trees. They are land
marks in our lives, and seem almost
like friends who have shared in our
experiences. We recognize them
with Joy as we go back to places long
ago familiar, and it seems almost as
though the recognition and the JOY
were mutual as they wave rustling
welcome.

The pirate :. shenandOah.-

The following is a synopsis Of a
letter written by E. F. Nye, New
Bedford whaling captain, to San
Francisco paper in view of the ap-
pointment of Waddell to the COM
mand of she City of San Francisco:
81 am highly pleased to know
that you are making it hot for Pirate
Waddell. He is nothing better than
a pirate, and is guilty of piracy and
arson in any way that you look at his
doings. 1 was prisoner on board
of the Shenandoah 20 days, and at
the time she made her first captures
in June 1865, (the ship VIM. Thomp-
son and bark Euphrates, of New
Bedford) 1 had San Francisco and
Honolulu papers which contained
full accounts of the fall Of Richmond
and the surrender of Lee, and the
assassination and death of Lincoln.
This was all known to Waddell and
his officers, but to use his own words
he "would make New England suf-
fer" He had a particular spite
against New England. The
shipmasters, merchants and sea-faring
men of this State are astonished at
the Pacific Mail Steamship Company
for employing rebels when so many
good and loyaE~men can be had to
man their ships, men as we'll quail
fed as those rebels and pirates that
took an active part in destroying the
commerce of their country ten years
ago. l hope the Pacific Mail will
never get another dollar from our
government by way of subsidy or
even carrying the mails, as long as
they employ such men as Waddell
and Lynch to navigate their ships"

In stray newspaper paragraph
we find the following extract from a
speech of Thomas H. Benton, made
as long ago as 1881, on paper money
and tho laboring classes:
III were going to establish a work
ingman's party it should be on the
basis of hard money! hard-money
party against a paper-money party.
Paper-money banks tend to aggra-
vate the inequality of fortunes, to
make the rich richer, the poor poor
er, to multiply nabobs and paupers.
Paper money is isinjurious 20 the labor
ing classes because they receive no
favors, and the price of the property
they wish to acquire is raised to the
paper maximum, while wages re-
main at the specie minimum.
1t is the same story to-day. Let
the worgingmen ponder these words.

smallg business, and as device to
save the party from reproach will
hardly serve. General Belknap was
the same kind of Republican be-
fore and since the war that General
Grant and many other prominent
men of the party were, and it will
hardly pay at this late day to go into
the record on that subject. We dc
not think the Republican party
should be held responsible for Gen.
eral Belknap's conduct, but the at.
tempt to avoid it on the ground that
he was a Democrat is sheer impu-

The World suggests the following
as plain and rational device for a
grand national banner which should
be hung out in front of the entrance
to the Centennial exhibition at Phil
adelphia, to mark the progress which
we have made in one hundred years
of existence as a united people:
The spirit of 1776-I am not rich man
but, poor as / am, the King ofGreat Brit
ain isanot rich enough TO buy me.-Io-
seph Reed, of Pennsylvania, to the British
Commissioners.
The spirit OF 1S76-My wife must have
diamonds and laces enough to shine al

therefore, $4,000 down and S., 600 year,
and you shall have the exclusive right to
sell supplies to the soldiers of the United
States on the frontier at your own rates.

The Metric System.

ne metric system Vi hClS H'S ~"
measures had its origin in France
during the revolution. In the year
1890, time when all regard for the
institutions of the past was repudIa-
ted, the French government resolved
to introduce a new system; and IN
the following year appointed COM
mission, nominated by the Academy
Of Sciences, to prepare it. The first
work of the commission was to select
standard of lengths from which the
system of units adopted might be
readily restored, if from any cause
the original unit should be lost. The
standard adopted was quadrant OF
the earth's meridian, and the ten
millionth part of this was taken as
the unit of length. This ten-lnill-
ionth part they called a "metric," "
and from the word metric the sys-
TEN derives its name. The metric
system is decimal in scale, and COM
mends itself by its simplicity, con-
venience and cosmopolitan character.
I Its use was authorized in the United
States by Act of Congress in the
wear 1866, but no effort has been
made to make its use general.
We are glad to see that our ex-
changes, both technical and popular,
are discussing, with renewed inter
est, the expediency of its general in
PRODUCTION. The majority are in
favor of the movement, and we may
reasonably hope, therefore, to see it
introduced in the near future. Why
may not this Centennial year have
the credit Of so sensible a reform
added to its other prospective hon.
ors and glories? 1t would be good
preparation for the general introduce
ton of the new system to furnish ex-
amples of the measures and weights
in a cheapform, and SO far as posi-
BILE in combination with those in
ordinary use. In the case of the
linear measures this could be readily
done; and we believe that the first
maker of yard-sticks and foot-rules
who shall put the decimal measures
on one edge or side of these land to
do this would add but little to the
cost of manufacturer will soon find
his goods in great demand. The
same may be said, too, of Centigrade
thermometers, which ought by this
time to be in everyday use, both in
the Office and in the household. Why
does not some manufacturer put the
Centigrade scale on his thermome-
ters beside the Fahrenheit scales the
twp on opposite sides Of the tubei
m -SssfI = fs,1r.. = - al s wares
viii amply remunerats t1e 1iasei
who shall put such instrumentsintc
the market at the same price be now
charges for the ordinary Fahrenheits
Let the people be made familiar
with the metric system by means o.
these cheap practical models, and the
day of its general adoption, we ven
ture to predict, will be materially
FASTENED. Let the children in oul
public schools be thoroughly in
structed in the metric system Sc
That they may be, early familiarizet
with its denominations and values
and not unprepared for the change
that will follow when the decimal
system supersedes the clumsy sys
tenn now in use.

This lady, who has been a central
figure of late, is the Generals third
wife, and thoroughly known in
Washington as the gayest and most
fashionable lady of the season Just
gone by. Her equipage and toilets
have wed with all. She has been an
object of admiration since first she
came to Washington six years ago to
visit her sister, the former wife of
Gen. Belknap. She is five feet six
inches high, with a well developed
form and graceful carriage. Her
features are regular, her complexion
clear and fair, her hair is black, and
her eyes black and very bright she
is also remarkably witty and viva
cious. She is a daughter of DR..
Tomlinson, of Harrrodsburg, KY,
where herself and sisters have always
been noted as the reigning bellies and
beauties of their native State. Mrs.
Belknap has always displayed great
richness in dress, generally pat
ronizing Worth, the great Partisan
man dressmaker. She would look
equally lovely, whether attired in
pale rose-colored silk, with soft
creamy lace, or torquois blue silk
with long garlands of flowers trim
ming the low corsage and short
sleeves, or with an ablier and train of
xdrst.iiufad aii,-t-;-.--e1- ---;al- -f-;sgoy

Of pheasant's feathers. Her foot is
the smallest in Washington, she
wearing number one and a half shoes.
Slippers and boots of satin for these
dainty feet always came from Paris.
The jewels she most frequently wore
were a string of large pearls around
her neck, with beautiful pendant
of diamonds and two solitaire drops
for each ear, with an aigrette of di-
amonds as the only ornament ever
worn on her sbapely head,

Mr.. EDIToR:-Christmas Eve was
the occasion of very pleasant time
at Harrisburg for the young folks of
the neighborhood, and ought to haye
been enjoyed by all who attended the
gathering at the school-house to see
the Christmas tree and witness the
distribution of the presents.
The festivities of the evening were
somewhat marred, however, by the
presence of a few OF the emissaries
Of the Devil, in the shape of drunken
boys and young men, who with their
fetid breath and foul language, did
what they could to expose their own
ill-breeding aud render every one I'M
happy. And does it not seem strange,
passing strange, that men in the com
munity who wish to be considered
temperance men and protesting
Christianity, too, should allow their
cupidity to lead them SO far astray
as to be aiders and abettors of such
conduct, by selling aiehohol under
the very thin disguise of hard cider,
Hostetter's bitters, cinnamon drops,
and such like. ssOh, shame, where
is thy blush!"
And could some of these young
men have any proper conception of
the esdeep modification and chagrin

The health of this community is very

The old year has just passed, and the
new year ushered in AS mild as April.
Every body appears to be happy this
New YEARS. morning, and presents are
solicited on the streets and from the
houses, but see but few given.
There is no society organizations for
the intellectual improvement of the
young people of this community, and
am afraid but few Websters, or Clays or
Bascoms will come out of this vii
lage or community.
We have good common school taught
by Mr.. Bradbury, and the school is
largely attended.
This is very quiet, peaceable town !;
there is no gossipor tattling, and conse-
quently the people are friendly and so
ciable. This is as it should be. Law
suits are scarce.
There was a, burglary committed in

HARRIS, O., Dec. 81, 1875.


Mr.. EDTToR:-The citizens of Har-
risburg and vicinity erected a very
nice Christmas tree on Friday even
ing last, Notwithstanding the jeers Of
some of the more pretentious neigh
bors.
A very nice young cedar was
brought from the cedar hill near
Adamsville, and the committee ap-
pointed displayed good taste in the
erection of the same, and the ar
rangements of the presents placed
upon it.
The account kept of the number
and value Of the presents distributed
foots up over four hundred presents;
worth nearly $500.
Everything from clay pipe and
stick of candy up to a set of nice
fnrs and an elegant dress, were
brought into requisition, to enhance
the value and beauty of the tree.
The instrumental music furnished
by Mr.. j. I. Vaughn and his choir
of singers was GOOD.
The declamations by Miss Laura
McCarley and Miss Ellen Wood
were delivered.
Everything passed off pleasantly,
until number of unruly boys with
more whiskey than brains in their
heads, made some disturbance, which
seemed in some degree to shorten the
exercises.
Yours, resp'y,
