A NOTABLE DEATH.-Dr. Samuel C.
Warren, I'M English writer Of note died
recently. DR.. Warren's works which
attracted the most attention were the
diary ofa Physician, ,"and Ten Thous-
and Year" Boutwell, written in style
which kept the interest of the reader fixed
from the beginning, though we believe
the last named WAS most generally read
and is the one which gave the Doctor his
reputation as a writer.

a REMARKADLE METEoR.-Ono of the
greatest meteors, if not the greatest ever
seen in this country, passed over the cen
trail belt Of the Cniicd States, from west to
east, on Thursday night, Dec. 81. 1t was
first seen in Kansas and last over Pennsyl-
vania. 1t uaversed the entire distance OF
$50 miles in three quarters of an hour, or
at rate, allowing in addition for tie east
ward motion Of the earth, of about 20 miles
a minute. 1t was Of about the size OF the
moon when first seen, though afterwards
breaking into several fragments. The light
il gave in passing was SO great as TO make
persons out Of doors rs visible at some dis.
lance as by daylight; and even in houses,
the effect in palug the light of lamps was
everywhere noticed. The glare ITS passage
caused, raised panic OF fire in a Lewiston,
ILL.,, opera house, and in several communi-
tics general CONSERVATION was excited.
The color OF tho flames changed from yell
low 10 green and crimson, and threw col
ored light like fireworks upon the trees. a
low kissing noise was heard when it was
directly above, and rumble like n train
Of cars followed its passage. Every OBJ
server thought ii would surely strike with
in hu ndrod yards Of him, so near ii ap-
peared, although lis real height was not less
than so or 10 miles.

A HAPPY New YEAR.-Whoever would
have happy new year must shun the prac-
tices which produce Indebtedness and re-
morse. lie must seek health, knowledge,
goodness, the respect OF the wise, the love
OF the worthy, the gratitude of the poor.
The things that make happy-the world is
full of them. The body is full of latent en-
joyment as an organ is of harmony, and it
only needs 10 be rightly touched TO bring
out the sweetest experience Of pleasure.
Health is a fund from which whoever has
1t can draw enjoyment almost without end.
A cullivat ed mind has unfailing sources of
happiness at command. A pure, kind,
generous heart, its sympaihies alive and
wisely directed, is an ever. flowing foun-
tain OF enjoyment. All the virtues lead
joyward. Religion is not a frowning and
forbidding spirit, uttering perpetual de-
NAL and warning, but a smiling angel,
beckonng its followers toward perfect and
perennial happiness. A happy new year
means the dispositions and deeds that
make the year delightful, aud ill tho heart
with expansive and everlasting joy.-W r.
Clarke.

Nearly complete returns have now been
received of the actual vote cast for Presi-
dent in all the States of the Union at the
late election, and the results are enumorat-
ed in the table given below. One county
is lacking in the returns from Mississippi,
and from one county in Alabama only the
majority declared for Tilden has been re-
ported. In the case of Colorado, where
the people did not vote directly for Presi-
dent, the vote cast for Governor in the cleo
ton in october is given in the table. 1t
will be seen that no returns are made of the
vote for Peter Cooper, the Greenback can
didate, and Green Clay Smith, Prohibit
ZIONIST, in large number Of States.
The figures hero given show an appar-
ent majority of 154,397 votes for Tilden
over all. This is much less than is being
claimed by the Democrats, and it would
lndisputably have been entirely wiped out
had there been any attempt TO obtain, or
willingness 10 permit, full and unrestrict-
ed vote in the Southern States.
The total vote is s, ,977, against 0,457,-
315 in 1879, and 5,7l6,7sS in 1868.

The Past Week. Snow Storms.

The heavy fall OF snow and sleet which
prevailed in this section on Friday aler-
noon and night last had its centre on Thurs
day in eastern Kentucky and reached New
York Friday morning. in Mississippi and
Louisiana there was slight fall of snow.
Throughout the lake region snow fell. At
Boston, Albany, Buffalo, Cleveland, Gin
cinnali, Detroit, and Kingston, Cam, the
snow fall was heavy. In Baltimore there
was rain, and in New England there was
an abundance of sleet. The railroads were
badly troubled by this storm as the snow
was heavy and packed hard.
Monday nights snow, though coHpara-
lively light hereabouts, occasioned more
trouble 10 the south of us than any previ-
Gus storm this season. No train reached
Springfield from Boston on Tuesday until
1915 noon, and the trains 10 that city from
every direction were badly delayed. In
Boston the snow fall was tho heaviest yet
and blocked all the railroads. a severe
snow storm prevailed all day Monday
along the Hudson, and at New York fully
two feet fell, rendering lccomotion Of all
kinds nearly impossible. The harbor was
filled with floating ice making navigation
by ferry boats difficult and dangerous. The
following dispatches give an idea oil the ex-
tent of the storm:-
NEW ORLEANS, La, JAN. 1.-The sleet
and snow storm last night extended as far
south as Osyka. Two feet of snow fell at
Holly Springs, IA inches at Jackson and
Vicksburg, one foot at Shreveport and
Munroe, and four inches at Oyska, delay
ing trains and breaking down telegraph
wires and interrupting communication.
BALTIMORE, ND, JAN. 1.-The harbor is
closed 10 all sailing craf except those using
the ice boats and the most powerful tugs.
A heavy snow storm has prevailed here
since noon.
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, JAN. 1.-The
heaviest snow storm ever known here is
now prevailing. The snow is eighteen
inches deep and the railroads are block ed.
A dispatch from Richmond, Va, reports
very heavy snow storm in that vicinity,
and the suspension OF navigation on the
James and Kanawha rivers.
VIOLENT GALE ON THE BRITISH
COSTA gale of Unprecedented violence
ragged on the South coast Of England Mon
day. The pier at Dover was partially de-
stroyed at loss of $4,000. At East
bourne damage to the amount of 1926, 900
was done. Nearly every town on the south
ern coast from Dover TO Portsmouth was
more or less inundated by the high tides.
The steamers Arragon and Othelio, which
had left British ports for New York, have
been obliged 10 put back, the Arragon oe-
ing dismantled.

A BIG BLOW AT BESNINGToN.-IIast
Fridays storm of slect and snow, which
was bad enough in this vicinity, was ac-
companied by high wind in Bennington
county in this stale and Berkshire county,
Mass, where il did large amount OF dam
age. At Bennington the wind began TO
blow, accompanied by snow and hail, in
the afternoon, and strengthened every
hour unit! nine o'clock, when it blew a
perfect hurricane; it was with difficulty
that people could walk about the streets.
About this time fearful gust tore the spire
cif the Baptist church. This spire meas
ured about Is or 100 feet from the roof of
the church, was lifted and blown clear
OFF the roof, aud was precipitatcd with a
terrible crash, landing in the church-yard.
Later in tho night the chmneys of A. b.
Valentines and George Rockwond's knit
ting mills were blown down, dCmolishing
the roofs of the factories and breaking con-
siderable machinery. L. C. Kemp, watch
man in Rockwood's mill, was carried
through the floor by the falling bricks and
seriously hurt. The Congregational church
steeple received severe trial aud was ex-
pected to fall, but withstood the strain. It
will need immediate repairs. Chimneys
were blown Off of large number o + houses,
barns were Frustrated, trees blown down
and other damage done. The loss in the
whole village cannot fall much short OF
SOS, 900. In North and South Adams, Mass,
good deal of damage was done by wind.

Governor Vance of North Carolina was
inaugurated on Monday. His message
(says the Boston JournaD was a queer af-
fair. The Governor appears 10 be in
frame OF mind similar 10 that OF the fellow
in the play, who struts about tho stage be-
seeching somebody TO step on the tail of his
coat that he may have provocation for
fight. Mr.. Vance says lie prefers peace,
but he wishes the American people in gen.
eral, and the Democratic party in -particu-
lar, TO understand that the people he rep
resents land he lays the fiattering junction
TO his soul that he is the mouthpiece of
more than million OF people,, will not
supinely submit 10 have the Constitution
trampled in the dust. He also lays stress
upon the fact that tive will follow the lead
OF The constitutional men OF the North"
He evidently believes that the Democratic
fire eaters, the irresponsible men, who are
"lnvinclble in peace and invisible In war;"
are the legitimate custodians of the Con-
stitutlou. These rebellious mutterings are
in striking constrast TO the message OF Gov
ernor Kellogg of Louisiana, on the same
day, who, despite the unhappy condition
OF affairs In his State, forgets to give ex-
preston 10 what might DO calculated 10 ex-
cite the passions OF the populace, or stig-
Matte as ian outrage" the conduct of his
political opponents, but proceeds quietly to
assume the duties OF his office, and lays be-
fore tho people financial statement of the
condition Of the State.

The New Dog Law.

One OF The bills PASSED by the last legis-
lature affects so large proportion of our
citizens that we feel justified in calling par
ticular attention TO its provisions. We re-
fer to the so-called dog law, which was de-
vised for the purpose of putting an end to
the warfare between the dogs and the
sheep, by putting an end 10 unlicensed
dogs, and 1t is to be hoped that the law will
work as well in this State as il is alleged it
does where it is now in force.
The law provides that on or before the
Slst day of March OF each year, oSory own
er of dog shall cause it 10 he registered,
numbered, described and licensed for one
year from the ensuing April in The Office of
the clerk Of the city or town wherein said
dog is kept, and shall cause il 10 wear a.
round its neck collar distinctly mark ed
with its owners name and its registered
number, and shall pay for such license Two
dollars. The clerk then issues tho license,
and pays the money over TO the town or
city treasurer, retaining twenty cents for
his services. Parties keeping dogs without
registration are subject to fine OF fifteen
dollars, five OF which goes to the complain
ant.
Warrants are TO be issued TO the various
police officers or constables directing them
to proceed OF once, after the 18th day oil
May, to kill or cause 10 be killed all dogs
not licensed in their respective towns, for
which such officers receive fee of one dol
lar each.
Parties suffering from the deprepations
Of dogs shall, upon application 10 the pro-
per town authorities, have the damage APP
praised, and receive town order for such
amount as shall be adjudged.
1t will be seen that the law is very sweep.
ing in lis provisions, and 1t is so worded
az TO render it difficult of evasion. All par.
ties interested will take due notice and
govern themselves accordingly.

THE STRUGGLE FOR THE PREsIDENcY.-
The Democrats reluctantly concede that
Florida and South Carolina have given
their electoral votes to Hayes, and they are
now concentrating their strength ON Louis
lana. Meanwhile the Republicans are quiz
city investigating the votes of some Demo-
cratic States, and IL has already been prov
ed beyond doubt that the vote of Ken
is Illegal. In many precincts the Judges
of Election had lists of the electors, and
asked the voters as they presented them
selves whether they were for Tilden or for
Hayes, checking or protesting TO check
their lists of electors accordingly. Ex-At-
lorney General Stanbury, among others,
admits that he voted in this way, and that
he was not aware who the electors were
