We SAY Nol-Many OF our party
friends favor the holding of a general jubilee for
the purpose Of celebrating our great Union vic
tory. We place our veto upon that movement,
and We would, were It necessary, give string Of
reasons as long as Tillen's majority in Georgia.
Chief among them are the very dark md cold
nights, and the very worst roads that can be
found during the whole year besides eonsidera-
bic expense to everybody, a rare opportunity
would be offered TO those who posses more real
than discretion to say and do things which they
would be sorry for afterwards. More than this,
scores will spend money on such occasions reek-
le'sy which should go to buy -four and clothing
for their families while many others are not tue
owners Of half dollar to &c, something to eat.
when men by the hundred cannot raise money
enough to pay iity.cent tax, 1t is not the time
to become prodgal. rU
II the Democrats Of clearheld, 0sceola, Cur
wensville, Brady, or Chest, want a jubitee, let
them ago in = but we deem il unnecessary to in
vite all to any one place at this inclement season
of the year for any such purpose.

~ The mystery which has from the
first surrounded the explosion of dynam-
lie on the quay at Bremen grows denser
with every new dispatch concerning it.
The confession of the suicide Thomp-
son has not been borne oat by the facts
yet discovered. 4 careful search of the
cargo of the ship Salier has resulted in
the discovery that there are no cases of
dynamite on board that vessel, as
Thompson asserted that there We're.
Stranger still, investigation utterly fails
to confirm bis assertion that improper
insurance had heen Effected upon IL part
of the .rgo Of the Moselie. and hence
the motive which he said actuated him
in seeking to destroy the steamship ap-
pears never to have existed at all. There
Is every reason to suppose, therefore,
that the confession, so far at least as its
details are concerned, was simply the
rawlings Of al insane rlan.
Yet the fact tnat the dynamite was
or the quay ready for shipment re
mains, and there can be no doubt that
Thompson meant to destroy the Mosel,
although there seems to have been no
motive whatever for the crime other
than that which diseased Imagination
was capable OF furnishing. The whole
story is a puzzle which it is to be Hoped
that the authorities in Bremen will
spare no pains TO solve.

UNDIsTURBED FOR NINETEEN YEARS.
On Wednesday afternoon lady living
in the city presented her pass book az
Powers banking house and asked for
a sum of money The paying teller,
on examining her book, found that a
deposit of a considerable amount had
been made in the year 1857. and since
that time neither deposit had been
made nor check drawn against the &C
count Even the interest. which had
been accumulating for period of nearly
nineteen years, and which amounted to
a great deal more than the original de-
post, had not been entered upon her
book. The lady. it seems, had no oc-
caxion during the time to use any of
the money. and what il more singular,
had ho curiosity to ascertain how much
it amounted to. 1t was certainly a re-
markable case. Upon inquiry. We find
that Mr.. Powers has open active ac'
counts on his books which began when
he first opened his bank, and conse-
quently are now over quarter of a
century old.--Rochestrr Union.

His recorded headaches are more than
we should care to count, but his kisses

gerstown to cash draft on New York

,, John D. Newcomer. being told by her
that she wanted to invest $1,000 in
Washington County bonds, advised ber
that better investment would be in
Northern Pacific Railroad bonds, which
have since Deprecated to about fifteen
cents on the d0llarr He told her, as an
indueement for such investment, that
Dr. Smith, her pEvs;eian. hnd invested
$lp, geo in the Northern Pacific Eail-
read bondl, and this assnrance in3rced
her to invest in them also. Her SON
