We have received the January
number of LEISURE Hours, a hand
some mammoth 16 page ga COLI
family paper, filled with the choi-
cest literature-serial and short
stories, sketches, poetry, wit, hui
NOR, &C., &c. It's entertainging,
amusing and instructive, and is of
the cheapest papers-the amount
and quality Of matter considered
that we have seen. The price
is $1.20 a year, including as pre-
MUM a genuine ine-line steel
engraving, called 1.-THE Mitherless
Barn." printed on22x2S plate pa
per, which the publishers claim is
superior in point Of merit and at
tractiveness to any premium ever
offered by any other paper in this
country, and is alone worth the
money asked for both.
The publishers, j. L. Patten &
Co., 1872 William street, New
York, authorize US to say, that in
order to introduce the paper in
this vicinity they make a special
offer to every one Of our readers
to send them the paper-a "trial
trip" of four months, postpaid
commencing with the January
number-for % cents.
Our readers who avail them
selves of this offer will, we feel
certain, thank us for having call
ed their attention to it. The pub
fishers of the LEISURE HOURS
would like to employ some one
in every place to canvass for this
paper.

Will the Corporation be AbOI-
tslled.

We understand that a few gentle
men who were defeated for offices
week before last propose raising a pc
tition TO the Legislature to abolish
our corporation.
This is a very important question
with u people. AS it's it costs but
little to run the city government. The
ladies are not insulted ON the streets
by drunk men; wreckless boys don't
shoot pistols promiscuously over the
streets, and endanger the lives Of our
citizens. On the other hand, if the
charter should be repealed and the
corporation abolished, it will be dan
gerous for your wives and children to
travel the streets at night on their
way to church. The drunkard and
blackguard will have full sway, and
decent people will not dare to venture
out town of nights. To these gentle
men that are wanting the corporation
abolished, we would just say to them
to remember that they have wives
and children that they don't want
publicly insulted, and would further
say that If you can't be elected to Of
flee in Cleveland move to a communi-
ty where you are not so well known.

Religious Intelligence.

F%ifty-seven families have been
found in Cleveland who were des-
titute of Bibles.
Mrs. Gauze, the phrenologica
lecturer, preached in our city to
quite a large audience last Sun
day evening. Her text was Rom.
u: /, 2. The arrangement of her
discourse, and her cool, deliber-
ate delivery, show that she is no
novice" Her thought was clear,
and clothed in good language.
Her meekness, her reverence land
her quiet delivery, free from rant
and all attempts at display, speak
much in her favor as a messenger
of God. Her delivery would per-
haps have been more animated
had she and the congregation too
not been disturbed by some col
ored brethren who were holding a
pretty warm meeting in the next
door.
1t is said Mr.. Preston last Sunday
preached an excellent sermon on
the text, "Occupy till Come"
There are 800 Baptist churches
in East Tennessee.

Meeting oFBOard Of Aldermen.

The Board of Mayor and der
men met on Monday night last.
All the members were present.
They decided hat the Marshal
neededno police, and consequent
ly they elected none. They voted
as a salary 80 cents for each meet
ing, and in no case is an alderman
to receive his pay unless he is
present.
This will give each alderman
S12 per year ;or his services. The
pay heretofore ranged from $15 to
$31.
Recorder Tipton's report was
read and signed by the finance
committee and ordered published.
The board set as its regular
meetings the LIST and 81 Monday
night in each month.
They had under consideration
the reduction of the Recorders
and Marshal's salaries, which was
laid over till next meeting.

THE VOTE.
The Proposition Before the
Senate Committee.

A Washington special says that
the proposition of the Senate
Electoral Committee, which was
under consideration at a joint
meeting of the Senate and House
Committee yesterday, provides
that the Senate shall, on the day
for the counting of the votes,
meet with the House in the hall
of the latter body. The Vice Pres
ident shall open all the c%irtifi-
Gates, and the tellers shall, as
usual, read, record and sum up
the votes. But there are to be
counted in the first place, only
returns to which no objection is
made. Where there is one return
only from a State, and that is OBJ
,jected to, the two Houses will
determine whether it shall be
counted; but the concurrence Of
both Houses will be required to
reject any vote. Where two re-
turns are made from one State,
the dispute is to be referred to a
commission or tribunal composed
of nine members of the House
and Senate. and the four Justices
Of the Supreme Court longest in
service. The nine members of
the House and Senate are to be
selected by the appointment of
five Senators and five Represen-
tatives and then dropping one Of
the ten by dropping of lots. The
Justices who would become mem
'bers of the Commission by the
terms of the proposition would be
Nathan Clifford, of Maine, Noah
II. Swayne, of Ohio, Samuel f.
Miller, Of Iowa, and David Davis,
of Illinois. This Commission is to
be authorized to determine all
questions of dispute. Their de-
cision is to be final. The dispu-
ted votes having been counted in
the presence of the House and
Senate, in accordadce with the
decision of the Commission, and
the whole number of the Electo-
raj votes having been summed up
by the tellers, the President Of
the Senate will announce the re-
suit in the usual form, which will
determine who is to be President
of the United States.

only Of the benefit and security
Of Life Insurance, but also of the

Mr.. Dow appointed our towns

In this issue will be found the
report of the city Recorder for the
year 1876. 1t shows that theassets
Of the corporation are $2,7S4.17
and its indebtedness only $2,717,
Therefore if every cent can be col
lected-which is not very proba-
ble--the corporation would be
ahead to the amount Of $67.17,
But there are always release
ments to at least the amount OF
$4,000.

The Masque Ball TO come off at
the Ocoee House in this city on
Friday night, January Goth, prom
ises to be TIE grandest affair that
was ever witnessed in Cleveland.
There are already a sufficient
number Of dancers that have en-
rolled themselves for the occa-
sion to insure complete success.
Among them are some of our
leading citizens which alone in
sures it to be strictly first-class
in every respect. The committee
of arrangements have agreed on
the following: All dancers are
TO be masked, and will appear at
the Ocoee House parlors at s
o'clock, sharp. Carriages with a
conductor who is bound to secre-
sy will call for the ladies at their
residences. Dancing will com
mence at 8 o'clock. Persons not
masqued will not be allowed to
dance till after supper, which will
be announced at II o'clock. No
gentleman will be admitted to
the hall except those wearing
badges, which will be furnished
by the Treasurer to those whom
the committee see proper to in
vite.
A band from Chattanooga co m
posed offirst-class musicians have
been engaged for the occasion.

The Dog Law TO be Modified.

No less than fifty bills have been in
troduced to repeal the dog law. Sena-
tor Carson, Republican, from the third
district, says the Tribune, has intro
duced a measure in the State Senate,
which may be regarded as a compro-
mise between the terrible dog law re-
pealers and those who would support
the law as it stands. Mr.. Carson's
bill exempts from taxation IL dog to
the head of each family, which shall
not be a sheep-killing dog, and taxes
all dogs beyond one, found in the
possession of any citizen, the same as
they are now taxed. This, we think,
is probably a fair proposition, if we
are to have any change. Those who
are rich enough to keep fancy dogs,
or packs of hounds or hunters, can
surely afford to pay the triding tax Of
one dollar each, on their favorites.
And it is not likely that the owners
of such dogs would seriously object to
such a revenue measure. 1t ould
tend to improve the breed { dogs,
and rid the State of ours, which are
a nuisance to the huntsman, and to
all mankind besides.

BEAUTIFUL WoMEN.-The hair is
the browning glory of woman. There
are few moderate defects which can
not be remedied by the proper dispo-
sition of the tresses. But when the
hair begins to fall out, or turn gray,
in young people, or with those in the
prime of life, there is cause for real
regret. When this is the case, Halls
Vegetable SiciIida Hair Renewer will
be found to be frst-class remedy, far
superior, asa sound medical medium,
to anything else before the public. 1t
actually restores gray hair to its natu-
raj original color, and in the great
majority of cases, causes it to grow
again when it is becoming thin. 1t
is not like many popular preparations
a mere wash, but a scientific discov-
cry, indorsed and used by physicians
of character. Address r. P. Hall &
