The folly and dishonesty OF saying that
the honor Of the United States is involved
in the resumption Of specie payments upon
the Let of January next, must he apparent
to any thinker.
The people are in no hurry for the re
demption efour "over due" and "dishoa-
ored promises to pay" as the Gold bugs
are fond of calling them. As a legal ten
der fer the payment Of debts these notes are
taken out Of the category Of mere notes o.
hand-mere evidences of the pecuniary
obligation Of the isuer to the holder. 10
their character as money they have be
come complicated with all the business o.
the people, and the interests which depend
ulon their monetary functions are incom
par.bly greater than those which depend
upon their redemption at some parnculsr
time. 27f' "
The real question to be considered is
what course will be best for the CONNER
cisl and industrial interests Of the country
and no one need fear that the honor Of the
Government will be compromised BY post
poning the redemptioH Of lie notes, il BY
so doing it can advance those interests and
hasten the day when the workman can
again earn bread, for himself and family
This is one of the questions on which
Delaware should be heard, in the next
convention. and steps ought to be taken to
ascertain the opinions and convictions o.
every candidate for delegate to the State
Convention before he comes up for nomi-
nstion. The Belmonts, Seligmans, Goulds,
Dresels, and others are adding to the wealth

cause of the freedom from the catter and iolts of
an uneven track, but from sense OF safety. Not
much fear of broken rail where the heavy bal

nation of the scientific with the practical will
make these meetings in the highest degree SER
viceable to the cause Of agriculture The times and
places of meeting and all the details of arrange

dent. Farmers clubs, oranges or individuals de-

WrLLIAMsTowN.-The announcement OF the
death Of Mr. A. S. Martin has cast gloom over
many places and although the town loses
worthy and respected citizen as well as valuable
public servant, aside from his own family, none
can feel his loss more deeply than the Methodist
society OF which he has been an active member
for many years, and was in fact pillar OF
strength to the church, because OF this sad
event the society has abandoned its proposed
Christmas festivities and instead OF the joys
which a " Merry Christmas" usually brings they
will give place to the solemntles of the burial
service. Mr., Martin was u member Of the board
Of selectmen, and represented the town in the
legislature this fall. His sickness was sudden
and Of short duration, an attack of pleursy
Thursday evening terminating fatally Sunday

Christmas D0ings.

Five Of the churches held Christmas festivities
ample opportunities for having merry time and
giving " Old Santa " n cordial reception.
At TRINITY CHURCH
the programme Of the evening embraced an oyster
supper given by the Ladies' Aid Society. and the
distribution Of presents from two heavily loaded
trees. The time Of the older people was occupied
in discussing the supper aud awaiting themselves
Of the opportunity for social intercourse; while
the children made the vestry ring with joyous
shouts which must have gladdeued the heart Of
Santa Claus and amply repaid him for his long
journey from the land Of ice and snow In addi-
ton to this there were Rotations and music by
the little ones Of the school, The celebration of
Christmas-tide at Trinity was hardly as extern
sive, however, as was the case last year
At THE BAPTIST CHURCH
the little ones had frst-rate time. A large tree
stood in the middle Of the vestry loaded with all
sorts of tempting tri1es which the genial Santa
had dropped upon the branches to give his favor
lite children pleasure. Refreshments were fur
nished by the ladies' and when these had been
partaken Of there were recitatons by the chill
dren, interpreted with music both by the whole
school aud by classes. Il was n pleasant scene
that we looked upon at this vestry, and we felt
sure that the children connected with this society
were being prepared for a Merry Christmas"
At BETHANY CHURCH
there was n sound of joyous revelry, and Christ
mas Eve was celebrated by the children in an en-
phatic manner Skillful hands had been at work
for some days. and the chapel transformed into
place of beauty. Crosses, anchors, wreaths and
festoons Of evergreen were tastily arranged about
the room. We believe that Mr. w, A. Briggs
had charge of the trimmings Surely he and his
"lady assistants" deserve much praise for the
pains taken by them to enhance the attractiveness
of the chapel The exercises of the evening con-
sisted mainly of music by the school, prayer by
the pastor, the distribution of goodies from
the trees, and general indulgence in social
pleasure The vestry was full throughout the
evening, and the festival passed off merry.
THE CHURCH OF THE MESSIAH
held " celebration " in the vestry, which was
decided success The programme at this plnce
was made up of few Rotations, take off -
on the Highland Chef" the singing of Jubilee
songs by eight Of the little ones concluding with
a performance that was particularly attractive to
the children, viz the shaking" OF the tree.
Especial care was taken that every member of
the school should be remembered, and con-
sequently there was a large market for the
" fruit " which the tree bore so abundantly.
AT THE CATHOLIC CHURCH
the usual midnight mass was celebrated The
church was very handsomely trimmed, and the
festivities peculiar to that church were partci-
