UNITARIAN LECTURE.-I Instead of
the promised lecture on the New Tes
lament next Sunday evening, there
will be combined lecture and Bible
reading from the book of Amos. The
aim will be to give clear picture OF
the times, and to show the wealth OF
common sense and religion in the
book, which the ordinary treatment
conceals. The lecture on the New
Testament will be given at some fu-

Ply New YEAR.
The coming of Tuesday morning will
be the coming of the New Year for
1878. The old will go out and the new

difference between the new and the old
The people only will know the differ

difference between the old and the
new. And so
Ring out the old, ring in the new.
Ring: happy bells, across the snow;
The year is going let him go;
Ring out the false, ring in the true.
Ring out the grief that sapS the mind,
For those that here we see no more
Ring out the feud of rich and poor,
Ring in redress to all mankind.
Ring out slowly dying cause,
And ancient formS os parry strife;
Ring in the nobler modes OF lite,
With Sweeter manners, purer laws.
Ring out false pride in place and blood,
The civic SANDER and the spite;
Ring in the love of Truth and right,
Ring in the common love of good.
Ring in the valiant man and free
The larger heart, the kndlier hand
Ring out the darkness of the land.
Ring in the Christ that is to be-

Christmas in the suburbs Of Kenosha
passed off pleasantly Notwithstanding
mud and mire. At Lambs School
House, it proved to be a time of hearty
joy to the entire neighborhood who
participated, many Of them for the first
time, in the merry enthusiasm of a
Christmas Tree. The days preceding
Christmas were dark with mist, vet
willing fingers wrought with magic art
the Christmas green, and gay festocns,
and mimic arches wove, and emblems
true, to deck the walls, and make the
rustic chapel fit TO celebrate the day of
days.
When evening came the densest dark
ness fell, but moving lanterns in the
grassy lanes approached the centre,
guiding groups of young and old, to
meet and mingle, with glad congratu-
lations, amid light and song.
The room was fragrant with the
spicy breath of cedar and fir, the CEN
ter-piece being Chriatmas tree, which
would have bent under the immense
load, but for the fact that Scotch blood
flowed in it's veins, and so, sturdy and
straight it stood unfinchingly bearing
it's burden.
Everything desirable for pleasant
evening was at hand-a fine organ-a
good choir - select reading - bright
speakers-happy hearts, old and young,
and large quantity of goodwill and
kind Christian feeling. Many of the
gifts were rare and costly, but we for
bear to particularize except that the
innocent looking cornucopia Of can
dies handed to the pastor, the Rev. w.
E. Walker, proved to be a sweet cloak,
hiding roll of greenbacks, which he
was asked to accept as token Of good
will from his congregation. Not the
least among the good things, was a
Scripture exercise from the Sabbath
school in connection with the congre-
cation which enlisted in it's rendering
nearly all of it's seventy-four mem
bers.
The sentiment of the evening was
in unison with the spirit of true be-
nevolence, and an earnest wish pre-
vailed that it might be repeated many
times in the coming years. Com.

The following from the Milwaukee
Sentinel by a Manitowoc correspon-
dent speaks we'll for one of our Keno
sha boys:
Our harbor presents the appearance
of business finished for the season. A
number of vessels are laid up in the
new improvement-which has been
made by dredging north of the old
Government work. It is astonishing
what difference in results by the Gov
eminent furnishing it's own dredge,
tug and scows for the work, rather
than the former system Of letting con,
tracts to private enterprise and for
private profit. This new system, be it
understood, is under a Republican adj
ministration and the saving seems to
be at least one half. They commenced
work at the new basin On the 23d Of
July and laid up the last day of Novem-
Der. During that time they worked
! 81 days and removed about 35, 600 cubic
yards of earth, furnishing place land
locked where dozen good sized YES
sells can spend the winter in safely.
But ten men have been employed in
the service, and only $4,000 out of the
$4,000 appropriated has been expended,
leaving a balance yet to be used OF
$4,000. A little more such Government
aid with the same in charge Of trusty
Government agents, and we can show
one Of the best and most commodious
| barbors OH the lake. Mr.. James E
Lothrop, of Kenosha, is the engineer
in charge Of the dredge and works. He
has been for many years engaged in
this kind of Government work, and
the result here would indicate that
his friends and employers have not
lplaced too high appreciation upon him
while general satisfaction seems tC
4 pervade this community with what
the Government and it's trusted agents
have done for us this past season.

From ne PnN NiN Gnsfe.
The Bhootan expedition belongs to history.
though not the most agreeable or glorious cpl
sode in the annals Of British India. One little
incident, however, still remains 10 be recorded.
Under the impression that the little war would
be fought out 10 the bitter end the Government
ordered three lakhs $50. 900 worth. OF copper
coinage 10 be despatched 10 the northeastern
frontier for the use Of tic troops. 1t was for
warded accordingly-a goodly assortment Of
hali-anna and quarter-anna pieces. pies. and
Ilce. The town OF Rungpore was reached in
safety. when tidings OF peace arrived. Tho
ponderous wealth went on no further Where
It's progress was stayed, there il remained, and
lr's nty It's existence was all but forgotten.
lach new magistrate who succeeded 10
NE district signed a paper certifying
that he held under lock and key the
sum 81 100000 IN copper. and IL came to he
as book case or any other clumsy article. At

u'ccssors, de lined 10 sign the certificate until
the money WIS counted over 10 him. Tho oh
J"1lou was not Unreasonable, but there WAS this

Eunny bags ma boon devOurcd by insects or
othurwise destroyed, and that the copper coins
had run together and become welded into
masses. The cost Of their removal TO Calcuttl.
or some other equally absurd reason, caused
the alternative 10 be adopted of digging big
hole AMI burying the untold riches. Some sort
OF monument or memorial it is said, has been
erected over the site, and it may be that in the

The triumph was short-lvcd, for at that
epoch no Cabinet could keep Office without Pal
mcrston and although the Foreign Department
for tho moment passed to other hands. the views
Of the popular Minister were n perpetual check
upon the policy and volition of the court. After
tho outbreak Of the Crmean war the altagon-
ism between the Prince and Lord Palmcrston
became acute and irrcpressible. until In 1856

the languid guidance of tho palace favorite

On the whole. tho position OF Prince Albert In
constitutional England presents one OF those
painful. we might almost say tragical complica-
tons. over which for brief space the scales Of
justice seem to waver. and which we must needs
survey with divided sympathies. His partisans
not unreasonably might invoke the laws OF ma

appeal TO the same laws. foremost among which
are the rights Of self-preservntion and OF
