Merry Christmas,

And many Of them, we wish TO al, and
to those who have welcomed the ADvo.
CATS 70 their aresidc, although many are
strangers to US individually, We hope tho
advent Of tomorrow will bring pleasures
and happy respite from tho cares that
this cold world imposes. The real beauty
and joy Of Christmas eve and day is to the
parent at home with the little ones, happy
and exercised over their gifts, gifts endear-
ed and never to be forgotten, not for their
intrinsic value, but for the hsllowed Associ.
alton Of home, and the love Of parents that
their kind provision and forethought en-
genders. Children, however rough and
blocked with hardshlps, and chilledgb
poverty, if q kind mother or father lent
their aid to smooth the path and tenderlY
guide the young feet. Those Oasises in
the desert of life will eyer after shine In
the memory OF the man. Christmas! the
world known day, welcomed alike by the
christian and the worldly. Who is blind
to its associations, its memories, and its
joysi Make it q merry one. If poverty,
debt and depression surround you, for the
once, forget them all. 1t is long road
that never turns Do enemies seeking to
thwart your legitimate undertakings and
undermine your honest efforts annoy you,
let them pass, for he who builds himself
up on the ruins or bowed head Of another
is only waiting for the wind that will sure
IL crush his stolen timbers and bury him
too deep TO send back an echo. Has the
slanderer, cunning, cool and deceptive, let
fly his venom, when you haYe never cross
ed his path, never wronged him in the
least, then pity him, for his day will sure.
" come and his castle il far from being
Has business been awry, or
unsuccessful! Has things gone wrong
generally, and you feel disheartsneds On
Christmas day bury all in oblivion and let
one merry day brighten the years cycle,
and you will feel like graphing life's cares
with hope and vigor. Again we wish all
. Ksrry Merry Christnas.

by Lettke and wife to Augusta Schultz
The plaintiffs, who are creditors OF
Lettke, claim that the conveyance was
made With intent tes hinder and delay
them in the collection OF their debt ;
and, on the trial in the Common Pleas,
the court found that the conveyance was
made with such fra6dulent intent, and
declared the same null and void The
defendant, Augusta Schultz, appealed
Judge Marsh, in disposing Of the case
on appeal, remarked that the testimony
produced had very much annoyed and
perplexed the court gnd that two mem
bers Of the court. at least, could give
very good reasons for deciding the case
either way. While the court were sat,
istied that the evidence disclosed a great
many suspicious circumstances, vet they
were not willing to say that the purchase
of the property by Mrs. Schultz was
not made in good faith. The Judge
said, that in the examination of the
case. the court had been on both. sides
Of it, and finally got down into the mid.
die of it and tried to dig out both ways.
And this method not being s1ccessful
nor satisfactory, the court had come to
the conclusion that it was in the power
of one or The other or the parties to
produce evidence to make the questions
clear, and the case was continued for
