MR. EDrToR.-Seeing Little Johnnie' ,en-
 quiring concerning "Jack," and noticing that
 our usually pleasant little place has not been represented in the columns of the friendly En- quirer of late, we will with your consent re- sume the correspondential quill and occasion ally let the outside world know that we are still ''alive and kicking" although we may be,
 as ''J. G. B." of old has it fifty years behind | the times. -@~ sS at
 First let us mention our Christmas trees, of l which we had two, and at the unloading of
 both we had the pleasure of being present 1 The first was at the house of Mr. Albert Blake 1 on Christmas Eve. About 40 persons were
 present, all invited guests Rev. G. J: Har-
 risson superintended the unloading, which of 1 course was the main feature of the evening.
 This was enjoyed by all present judging from | the pleased and smiling countenances surround l ing us. The second, or main tree, was at the
 Baptist church, on the evening of Christmas 1 day, and was by far the most successful tree 1 we have had, both in the value and number of the presents, and appearance of the tree The ] committee having the affairln charge have the ! sincere thanks of our community for the care
 exercised in trimming the church and tree.
 There certainly could not have been more ef- 1 fcient committee chosen. There were about 12O
 or 13O per sons present. Rev. c. J. Harrison
 and Rev. MT. Bowers were both there, taking
 part in the exercises. fhe choir furnished fine
 music. .-..c sa4 .r-.. We expect to hear of our friend Richards
 starting for the west soon, where he can exer-
 else his skill in corn and potatoes raising ofla
 larger scale than at present. af-as assrdne E <. 1 We may also have new laundry. ~'a l MT. Lewis Jones has broken ground for 8

Under the management of Superintendent Pillsbury the Albany penitentiary shows about $50, ,OOO net earnings for the year ending last October. Four of Pillsbury's subordinates were former officers of our State Prison, most of them having been long in the service.

The New York correspondent of the Spring. field Republican speaks as follows of the Gus tom House and it's officers:
 As man, Gen. Arthur stands we'll here, with all classes, but the custom-h house under his management has been the center of the worst species of political nest-hiding. The Jay commissions report scarcely began to tell the truth aboutit. It is merely political ma chine, and mercantile and commercial inter ests have had to play second iddlafo the plans and schemes of a contemptible clique of polit- ical wire-pullers and ax7grindes. The best republicans in this city have for years looked on it as their worst enemy, and what the par ty has done has been in spite of the custom house. Gen. Arthur was not strong enough to resist the influence that obtained control there during Grants administration. The devil was too much for him.. and too many, and Mir Hayes was undoubtedly right in adopting the Jay recommendation to clear out the sta |. hle and put new ovefseer at it's head. Mr. Roosevelt is not astrong man like Samuel Bab- cock and A. H. Low, but is respected by all ciases, and would doubtless conduct the office on business principles. As for Cornell, he is merely political martinet, Conkling's drill sergeant. Nobody speaks of him. His name rattles like peach stone in a tin coffee-pot, making a good deal of noise for thing of it's size but nothing comes of it. 1t would not take many such men to put the republican party under ground too deep for resurrectiop.

Singular Growth of Hair after Death.
From the Olympia Transcript

From the Olympia Transcript
In this vicinity, recently, the re-
mains of a man who died and was
buried over twenty years ago were
taken up for removal to another bury
ing place, and on opening the grave
the hair of the head and beard of the
man was found to have grown so as
to cover the feet. Everything else in
the coffin had passed away excepting
the bleached bones, while this cloud
of hair, as clean and fresh as if it had
Just been washed and dried, filled the
coffin. The latter, with its singular
contents, was carefully raised without
disturbing and again conveyed to
another resting place. We have
heard of the hair and beard of per-
sons dying to grow to a short extent,
but this actual occurrence surpasses
anything we have ever heard or know
