The health of our community at
present is not very good. Quite a
number of our citizens are recovering
from severe sickness; others are in the
midst of it, and still others are just
being taken down with some form of
sickness. Three of Daniel w. Goss'
family are just recovering from
an attack of intermittentt fever !;
VIM. Coe is quite poorly Mrs. E. B.
Higley is quite low with muscular
rheumatism Edith Carlton is in a
perfectly helpless condition with in
fiammatory rheumatism Mr.. McTie
is just recovering from an attack of
lung fever. Besides this, there are q
number of cases of diphtheria and
other sickness in this vicinity.
This is rather late date to make any
statement in regard to our Christmas
trees, but perhaps brief report would
not be amiss. Both trees were COM
plete success. The churches were ap-
propriately decorated, and the trees
loaded with elegant presents. After
the usual opening exercises, which
consisted of singing, speaking, &C.,
the presents were distributed, and
many a heart made glad. Among the
presents at the Methodist Tree, we
might mention an Office chair, present
ed to Rev. Lane; a camp rocker to
Mrs. Lane; Bibles. and other books.
At the Congregational Tree, Rev. Par
melee was presented with a splendid
Bible Mr.. Marsh, Superintendent of
the Sabbath School, an overcoat and
we might mention a number of other
valuable presents. Among the special
presents to friends were two gold
watches, q number of silver castors.
and other silver ware, Websters Un
abridged Dictionaries, Lossing's His

The value of the tree at the Congre-

The Injustice of 1t

Senator Bayard, in his elaborate ar
gument in favor of withdrawing the
legaI-tender quality from greenbacks
asserts that it "can do injustice to no
man, and cannot lessen the value of
notes in the hands of any holder, be,
cause an equivalent for face value is
offered in gold aud silver coin in case
any creditor should refuse to accept
them" This is true, but it is of little
Importance. The objection to the
Bayard proposition to demonitize
greecbacks is not that it would impair
their value, but that it is part of a
scheme to diminish the quantity of
available money in circulation and
thereby to benefit those whose wealth
consists of money and credits at the
expense of the debtor class. To de-
monetize greenbacks would ultimately
force their retirement. Next would
follow the arrest of the coinage of sill q.
ver-leaving US only gold and national
bank notes to measure values and to
make transactions with. Is it not
evident that in this case the value of
money would go up and the value of
other things go down, and that it
would be more difficult to pay debts :?
Suppose the present congress should
pass a law requiring the retirement of
the S326, 100000 national bank notes :;
this would not lessen the value of
such notes in the hands of holders,
any more than the demonstration of
greenbacks would lessen their value
ia the hands of holders; but suppose

il is without cessiug to be a popular
