The Miserable Condition Of Russia.

A ST. PETERSBURG letter to the New
York Sun gives the following facts re-
garding the distress which is now prev
alent in the Cars dominions: The
Government and the journals devoted to
it-that is to say, almost our entire
press-are making strenuous efforts to
conceal the truth in regard to the mis-
cry of the Russian people. No wonder,
when black bread is sofa in ST. Peters
burg at 5 copecks, or IA cents,
pound, and when the average wages of
workingmen in this town is Is roubles,
or about $11.25 a month. Deducting
the taxes an unmarried workingman' s
surplus amounts to As copecks, Or "a
cents, at most. He must have three
pounds of bread every day costing Is
copecks, or one-third of his daily wages.
What. then, must be the condition of the
workmen whose wages are below the
average, and of those who are married
and have families to support Well. this

The Christmas Sentiment.

NEXT to the day itself, which every
one who has been reared in n Christian
land should hold as sacred, / like the
sentiment which envelopes Christmas;
there is SO much about il that savors of
harmony. concord. peace-a peace that
means not merely the cessation OF
hostilities between conflicting interests
in our social world, but that sercner,
broader, deeper peace which unites man
to man by all the ties of friendly iuter-
course which proceed out of an universal
desire to make Christmas q bright spot
among the fading memories of the year.
i like the sentiment the more because
1t prevades every community and
brings to view the better side Of every
mans character. Not Scrooge nor
Gradgrind on earth can wholly steel
himselfagainst its humanizing influence,
and though the closing of the day may
find no charity dispensed or gladness

Mr.. WIN. DUNN, an old Mononga-
liam, now a resident of Iowa, in writ
ing to US last week, mentions several
matters that no doubt will interest
some of our readers. We extract
the following from his letter:
"Mr. VIM. Shuff, an old Mononga-
liam, in crossing the railroad some
time since narrowly escaped being
klllcu. Ills wagon WAS StTuCh ny
the locomotive and demolished, and
the old man was very much hurt,
though he will recover.
James c. Warman, of Cheat Neck,
is here. He is pleased with the
country, and says he has no idea of
returning to West Virginia to live.
Squire Sensebaugh, well known in
Monongalia as Democrat, stumped
this section for Hancock d English
last Fall. The Squire is as full of
gas as when he "blowed" Henry
Clay Furnace.
The weather is colder than it has
been for several years this early in
the winter.
Our market ranges about as fol
lows: Hogs on foot, 81 per cwt; oats,
25 cts. per bushel; wheat, 60 to So;
corn, 25 cts
Mr.. Dunn in his letter also refers
to Charles and Jacob Jennewine, Jas.
Stafford and others. Our space this
week is too limited or we would give
his letter in full. We hope to hear
from him again.
