DEFERRED LETTERS.
ROXBURY.

One of our literary men recently proposed to give to any needy young man a member ship ticket in our public Library Association provided such one could be found who does not use either tobacco or the ardent in any form. Such young man cannot be found. This reminds me of what one of our native born boys said few months since. He had purchased AppletoI's Encyclopedia and thought, that as he had lived to be % years old without spending anything for rum or cigars, he could we'll afford to buy it." No compliment to rum and tobacco! #-fH

had an exceedingly narrow escape from nor tai destruction in falling down her cellar stairs with washing machine. She was alone and obliged to lie where she had fallen until one of the neighbors happened to come in to afford assistance. Fortunately no bones were broken. a Thus far the holidays at the Center have passed in a generally pleasant manner. As usual, St. Peters is somewhat elaborately dec orated with evergreens. Services were held on Christmas Eve, when the Rector delivered an interesting discourse from 1st Timothy, 3rd chapter, 18th verse: : a text which of itself is an eloquent though rather short sermon. On Christmas day, sermon was preached from the 1st verse of the list chapter of the Gospal according to St. John.
 On Friday evening the 26th the 'Christ- mas tree" services, and the distribution of gifts to the Sunday School, took place in the church. Between thirty and forty dollars worth of presents were bestowed.
 On Sunday evening, the 18th, seventh year or Jubilee Review services were he Id in the 1st Congregational church. Perhaps a dozen years since the writer of this, predicted that within period of half 8 century, every Congregational oh urch in Connecticut would be using Liturgy: a prescribed form of wor- ship. And events which have since been transporting strongly tend toward the fulfil ment of that prediction. The ''children's tree" Cat first 80 called,) the Christmas deco rations which to. 8 greater or less extent have permeated every Congregational Society in the State, the occasional responses in churches, and now these review services, prescibed and printed before hand, and which contain one of the ancient creeds, all these with other things go to show that the various denominations which have for long time been wandering in more or less uncertain ways, are gradually returning: coming up to that safe middle ground to which, from their high pretentions, the Romanlsts are slowly but surely descend ing PLYMoTHEAN.

THE WORLD FOR 1880.


 Democrats every where should inform themselves carefully alike ot the action ot their party throughout the country auC ot the movemtnts of their Repubh- can opponents fallur. to do this in 1876 cCntr bu ted greatly the loss by Democracy of the fl uits of the victory fairly won at the polls.
 The year 18SO promises to be of the most in estlng and important years ot this crowded nd eventful century. It will witness a Presidential election which may result in re-establishing the Government of his country the principles of it's constitutional founders, or in permanently changing the relations the states tC the Federal power. No intelligent man can regard su, an election with n- difference The World, as the only daily English newspaper published in the city of New York which upholds the doctrines of constitutional Democracy, will steadily represent the D, mocratic pa ty in this great canvass. It will no this in do splrit of serve partsanship, but temparately and firmly. As pews. paper The World, beng the organ of no man. no clique and no interest, will present the fullest and the fairest picture make of each days passing history in the city, the State the country the world It will aim hereafter, as heretofore, at racy first of all things in all that it publishes. No man, however humble shall ever be permitted truly the columns of The World. No interest," however powerful shall be permitted truly boast that it can silence the fair criticism of The W, rid.
 During the past year The World has it's daily circulation trebed and its weekly circulation pushed far beyond that of any other weekly newspaper in the country. This great increase has been won, The World believes, by ruthfuluess enterprise ceaseess activity in collecting news and unfaterng loyalty to of the day. It is our hope and it will be enderv- or that The Worlds record for 1880 may be written in the appreciation and the support of many thous- ands more of readers in all parts of this IndissO- luble Union of Indestructible States.

Editor EaaQnirer. work of arousing and maintaining public sentiment on the Temperance question requires pluck and per severance and praying. The latter virtue our community desire to cultivate by giving the second Sabbath evening of each mouth to the public services of the Good Samaritans" in chapel. The second virtue shows some signs of vigor in the sign of our audiences-never larger than at present-in the willingness of persons to lend a hand in working the ship, and in the results of committees in securing signers to the pledge. Eighteen signers were secured last month. Not all were adults, neither are the inhabitants of heaven to be all adults. Fully one half were adults. If now say that the excellent address of MT. Edwin White of Litchfeld, given at the Chapel, Dec. 21st., showed the first element named above. shall speak the truth. For lawyer to join the ranks of the temperance agitaters is not so unusual as it once was. It IS not still to en- sure for him popularity May the scholarly ability of this man be steadily devoted to the cause of the self-destrnctive sinner. And may he never be afraid of the unpopular cause. The address of MT. White,, carefully written, was listened to with special interest and left the impression it should, the desire for more from the same source. C.N.F.

NEW PRESTON.

On the 18th ult., there was dance at Je- rome Grannis's commemorating his---we declare we can't tell what birthday, but he is as young as ever and as lively, and all his friends know how old he is, so it is just IS well. About twenty couples assembled and indulged in the ''double sh1ffle" till the small hours. A fine repast was partaken of at the noon of night, and all went home declaring it to have been very pleasant time.
 In every village, you know, there are always one or two what may be called crack er-eaters, i. e. Darwinistic s'missing links'' who eke out miserable existence and contin- u0 to hold their ontity, or nnneptitv in the genus homo by stepping into the grocery store and purchasing, when they happen to have the necessary funds. two cents worth of cheese and cents worth of crackers which they eat while straddling that public dispenser of call oric, the merchant'sstove. Well one stepped to the counter at the grocery, the other day, and, in the pompous tone of a man about to purchase the whole production of Herkimer Co.,, called for, his usual quantity. The penu-, rious and heartless clerk proceeded to cut off exactly two cents worth of cheese and weighed out to fraction one cents worth of crackers, which he handed to the astonished purchaser who looked from the edibles to the clerk and from the clerk to the edibles and calculated.
 "Has cheese rig ?"
 ''The price has. advanced somewhat, my friend, and the market is still active with ansprospect of still higher prices answered the obliging clerk.
 "Ah well," remarked the attenuated. ,m- pecunious customer, as with some consider able effort he hauled from the dark recesses of his pants pocket the required three cents, q .shan't ever buy any more stuff here, pay cash for what I git, an my moneys goods any body's. spose you think you're smart, grind ing the face of the poor this way, don't you 1? but you won't glt 8 chance to grind me again' ans
 The clerk undertook to explain to him that he was receiving full value for the amount ln- vested, but the cracker rand cheese man was mad, and refusing to be comforted, cast whitening look of scorn and contempt at the clerk and deserted. leaving him to mourn the loss of future cash trade. The moral of this truthful tale is---left for whosoever will to unravel
 .-The temperance meeting, of the 18th ult., was an interesting and lively one. MT. Upson said that one good thing to help along temper ance would be good library and reading room where young men and boys could spend their evenings in perusing newspapers and books rather than in drinking and carouslng at saloons We say amen to that, but New Preston is g small place to support such an in- stitntion, yet we wish it might be done.
