THE HOLIDAYS passed off pleasantly
and quietly. Nothing of Importance
| transpired, and at our own town there
were no entertainments of any kind.
A New YEAR SERMON was preached
on Sabbath by Rev. r. G. Campbell.
Subject-Eph. SIG, "Redeeming the
Time" introduced his discourse by de-
fining Time as period marked by revo-
luton; spoke of duration of thought,
and fully explained the nature of time
as reckoned by mankind. Divisions
1st, Nature of the duty I'd, An ability to
redeem; Sd, The reason for enforcing
this duty. "The days are evil" Closed
with an earnest exhortation. The SER
mon was an able and eloquent one, and
was listened to with marked attention.
Miss JENNIE CoUP o. our village was
elected as the "handsomest lady," at the
festival at ShepherdstOwn, Christmas
Eve, and awarded a handsome pair of
vases. She received 120 votes, making
so of a majority. Wheeling township is
"chock full" of pretty girls. We have
them all ON our ticket.
IT RAINED and rained and rained and
Uniontown would have built an ark, OIL
ly that they could not find a dove.
Whenever an old bachelor was sent out,
he came back with Strdt0 in his mouth,
and was Immediately assigned place
in the pork department.
WITH Us the weather is changeable
and the climate variable. One day the
mercury is % below Bridgeport, and
the next morning 90 above everything.
Then it rains and rains and rains.
THE PRETTY GIRLS made New Year
calls, and the cashmere sex were so ta-
ken by surprise that they did not have
presence of mind to even offer a glass
of buttermilk or cider. That's right,
ladies, keep it up through 1880. 1.-The
latch-string is always OUT at our cabin.
Don't yon forget it.
Mr.. JAMES POLLOCK has returned
from the West, on visit to relatives
and many friends. james" breaks up
the prairie and raises the biggest corn
"he ever can," ard wheat and oats and
cattle, and does all the good in this
world that intelligence and industry
will promote. May he live long and
prosper.
Mr.. JOHN SMITH, JR., after residence
of over year in San Francisco. Cal,
has returned home. He witnessed the
exciting times of the Kearney dispensa-
tion, and gives an interesting account of
the state of society in that great city.
WORK on the Railroad is delayed
by the incessant rains, and the
roads are becoming very bad for wagon
ing stone for bridges, and ties for the
track. Mr.. Daniel Brewer had heavy
contract in timber and ties, which he
has about completed.
PROF. WILSON has organized class
in vocal music, and literary society has
met some three evenings-but too much
warer has had debilitating effect on
the constitution of the society, and the
singing class won't wade any more.
BEES and musquitos were abroad
here on the Sd of January. 1t is stated
by one unworthy of belief, that the mo-
skeetoS' wore gum bouts, and had their
throats tied up in red flannel. Ii.

THAT fondness which Gov. Garcelon
boasts of possessing for the very letter
of the Constitution, is no new thing for
Democratic patriot. The same spirit
imbued them in 1861, and during the
four succeeding years, when they loved
the Constitution so well. Such men as
Garcelon always prate about the Consti-
tuition, when they would break down the
bulwarks of civil liberty.

PROSPECTUS
OF THE
usEVening Dispatch
AND
Dollar Weekly Dispatch.
Daily $7Der Year; 65 cents q
MOnih,Or 10 cents per week.
Weekly, 81 per Year.


THE COLUMBUS EVENING DISPATCH
is large daily paper, filled with the latest
news by telegraph, mail and otherwise, and its
constantly increasing circulation is evidence OF
the favor with which it is received tbs indepen-
dent in politics, striving in all things to be
fair, and to give its readers the entire political
history of the day. 1t is published every after
noon, at such an hour as to reach almost all the
surrounding towns, and give the residents of
such places all the advantage of daily
paper. 1t also has corps of intelligent cor
respondents, who keep its readers fully advised
of the news of the neighborhOOd.
The Dollar weekly Dispatch
Is large thirty six column paper, having but
few advertisements. Its reading matter is of
the choicest character, and it will be found a
valuable addition to every freside and home.
The low rate at which it is published, places it
within the reach of all. While we would ad-
wise every one as far as possible to take their
own county paper, we urge the claim of the
DOLLAR WEEKLY next, being satisfied that
an examination of its contents will convince all
of its value as a newspaper.

long be remembered as a re6-letter day in
the annals of St. Paul. The morning opened
auspiciously, giving promise of one of those
days ''the Lord hath made, "and the promise
was not broken to the hope. The sun rose
in unclouded splendor, and when its rays
became felt, glorious breeze sprung up,
which lasted throughout the entire day,

jubilant feeling of ''all sorts and conditions
