The Date of Christ's Birth.

AS your columns are open to Biblical and historical investigation, Iwish to offer few facts relative to the date of the birth of Christ
 The 6s prophetic weeks of Daniel were to run to the first advent of Christ, or to His birth, as the angel then said:. sTo-dsy is born unto you a Savior, which ss Christ" There is reason to believe that these weeks. com. menced on the 10th day of the 9th Jewish month B. c. 4sS, which would end them on the l4th day of August B. c. 5. Paul says: "When the fullness of the time was come, (that is, the 69 weeks) God sent forth his son, made of woman" etc. Gal ", 4. The true Christmas, or birth of Christ, was there- fore August l4 B. c. 5, instead of Decem- Der 25, as the Papists affirm. The sheep were still out at pasture at the time, G.uke II, .s,) and they were always taken to their shelter in that country about the time of the fall equi- nox, so the claim for December 25 is both without proof and contrary to facts. Further
 more, Christ was about 50 years old at His baptism, Iulke III, 29,) which was in the 18th year of Tiberius's full reign, A. D. 26, Nuke III, l.) from which by measuring back 30 years we reach B. c. for His birth, remem- bering that in crossing the Christian era B. 0. l and A. D. 1 are only two parts of one

There are several signs of revival of railroad projects looking to connect some of the great lines from the west with New England roads by. the way of>the proposed Poughkeepsie bridge. The Massachusetts state officials have recently made tour over the line of the Pennsylvania road to learn it's facilities for handling freight; with view of finding there.a way to throw freight upon the Hoosac tunnel route inwhich the state is interested, the New York Central having failed to furnish them facilities which had been promised.
 There are various indications that the with the New England roads, so, as to enable it to compete with the New York Central for New England freight. The completion of the New York and New England road wes. from. Waterbury will furnish with New York city connection, one way of access to New England, but. this will involve & transfer of freight cars by barges, 'as is now the case with the heavy business done by way ofthe Harlem river branch of the New York. New Haven and Hartford road, and the New York and New England road east from this city. But this as the Boston Journal says in 8 long ar tiele on the New York and New England road, will not be such a connection as will de- velop large export business from Boston, object desired can no doubt be best attained by pushing existing and contemplated lines through from harrisburg, Pa, to the Pough- keepsie bridge and the completion of the bridge, The connection can be made on the west side by building few miles ofnew road and the purchase of old ones soon to be dis posed of There are various rumors concern ing the desires and plans of the Pennsylvania road. The extension of the New York and New England road through to Poughkeepsie, and the already existing line to That place via the Connecticut Western road, will furnish facilities for sending freight to Boston and all over New England whenever the wester con, necton is made and the bridge completed. From the Poughkeepsie bridge it will not be hard matter to make a connection porthward with the Housac tunnel route, and it is plain that there is an easy way to send western products and coal into New England direct, without depending so largely upon the bridge at Albany and the lines leading to tide water. There is good reason to expect some import ant changes in railroad traffic between New England and the west within the next ten years.

But they were now too thoroughly frightened to listen to reason, and gave all sorts sof trumped-up excuses: one had to go to the legislature; another had just had his front teeth pulled and couldn't blow a cornet; another didn't think he had wind enough, and one said 'sI have married 8 wife, and therefore cannot oome.'

 James M. Gray. brother-in-law of Fred erick B. Webster, and at whose barn the lat ter was arrested, has been brought to jail on the charge of burglarizing the house of Frank Spur in Sheffield, the night of October g. Gray was examined in the district court at Great Darlington Wednesday. The principal witness against him was Webster himself who confessed to his own connection with the af- fair, and that Gray accompanied him, they gaining access to the house through the eel lar and that they carried away, Webster suit of clothes and eatables, while Gray took the silver ware. The household being aroused and one of the women stumbling over Gray in the darkness, they fled through the cellar, se- creting the property in the barn of Willis Bartholomew, where it was subsequently, found by the officers. whom, as it now ap- pears, Gray told, having got the secret from Webster the day he was examined a few weeks ago. This confession was quite cor rect, and the fact that one was barefooted and the other wore shoes and the fact that there were two engaged in the burglary was corrobo- rated by the foot prints discovered by the of- fcers the next morning, on the premises. Gray made no defence, but pleaded not guilty
