The Shadow on the snow.

There isn't much snow yet, but there is
heap of shadow-and the shadow is the
shadow OF Christmas, which, like other
coming events, projects its umbra in front
of it. In every family two important prob
lens are fastening TO solution; and while
the elder members are asking themselves
s'What shall we givel' the younger arc no
less esgerly speculative as TO what they
shall get. The boys drop vague hints of the
aesirsbiity of skates ard sleds, and books
of adventure and exciting narrative; while
the little girls are bemoaning dilapidated
condition of the present generation of dolls
and srtfully trying to inveigle mamma into
that phrase so full of promise, eWeW see
nt Christmss-time.'
1t really is no easy task to select a line
of Christmas presents, so as to insure that
every little one shall get just what it will
most appreciate, and none shall be und uly
avored; and as the holiday season draws
near, the careful mother feels, more, than
at any other time, the need Ofsone reliable
I manuel, by referring to which enterprise
the very thing she wants lies ready to her
hand. For the winter number Of the FASH
Ios QUARTERLY is out, and copy can be
had for only l5cts. Within the compass
of its 90 odd pages are illustrations of every
Kind and description of Christmas gifts; /;
from the rattle or toy reins for the 3-yesr-
old infant, up to the gold headed cane or
dressing gown for papa, or the long-wished-
for watch mamma. Dolls and dolls furni-
| ture, tin toys, mechanical toys, telegraphic
machines, bonbon boxes, yelocipedes, fan
c, stationary, gorgeous plush covered box
es, saving banks, magical apparatus, books
of every kind-in short the whole range Of
possibilities in the way of Christmas pres
ents is covered and parents purses and
children's fancies can alike be suited, how
ever fastidious the one, or attenuated
the other. Indeed, we believe it safe
TO say that such a mass Of useful informal
tion, for so small price was never issued
from the press before.

CHRISTMAS IN SUSSEX.
A PEN Picture of How the Holiday Is
Observed In the Lower Couuty-At the
Almshouse.

A PEN Picture of How the Holiday Is
Observed In the Lower Couury-At the
Almshouse.
A correspondent furnishes the following
No brighter moon or clearer sky ever
ushered In q Christmas morn. And as ie
the custom here, as soon as the clock struck
the hour of midnight the already-loaded
artillery doomed forth in every direction,
announcing TO all the advent of the gracious
time, and just as these peals went forth we
finished reading
''Twas the night before Christmas
When all through the house, ETC.
And then reverting, we lived over the
halcyon days when after the stockings were
emptied, with fur caps drawn over our ears,
and skates hung over our shoulders, we
locomoted away to the old ice pond ditch to
spend the hours SO free from care; aid when
little older with black "Reno" and the
faithful 'Rol," to wing the swift partridge
or drive from its resting place the timid
hare as memorials Of our Christmas cor
quests. Memories of these became SO fresh
we concluded we were young again.
Christmas tide is the holiday season OF
Sussex, and never before was one more uni
versally observed. 1t began on Saturday
when more turkeys were bought and sold
than ever before, and when egg nogg and
apple toddy-Sussex Christmas institution
began the fulfllment of their yearly
rounds.
The churches on Sunday celebrated the
day more than on Monday, but all were open
on both days. The Sunday Schools at the
churches were lavish In tree decorations aud
presents in the evening.
Our stores did large retail trade on Sat
urday. 1t was never larger, and never were
so many Christmas presents of all grades
sold because, perhaps, never were such at
fractions offered in stores.
DIR. Richards did not forget his annual
visit to the Almshouse-his fourteenth--and
the poor never enjoyed richer treat. A
large lot of confections, besides apples,
oranges, nuts, and chewing and smoking
tobacco and pipes to those who used them.
"Do you chew or smoke2" To this question
at least 10 per cent. answered yet. Some
used the weed one way, some another and
the majority all ways.
The gifts were distributed by several
young ladies, who were instructed to be
careful that all, without distinction, from
the nursing babe to the palsied old man,
should share alike. None of the gifts pleased
more than the beautiful perfumed Christ
mas cards, which were profusely given out.
Let this custom long continue. Mr..
Stockley, Superintendent of the Almshouse,
gave the poor pot pie dinner.

Roscoe ConkliEg Appears i'm Court ln New
York Yesterday in a Big Civil suit-t3sn-
eral News.

New YORK, Dec. 27.--The petition OF
Helen Maria Hoyt. Jesse Hoyt's widow, and
of her daughter, Mary Irene Hoyt, for al
immediate allowance of S25, 900 each out OF
the estate, was before Surrogate Rollins again
yesterday. The daughters affidavit says
that she believes her fathers estate is worth
at least $10, 900 900, large part of which is
In Government bonds. She supports home
of her own at an expense suitable
to her position In society before her fathers
death. According to the provisions of the
VIII Of her father she was to have Che IN
come from 81 $50 900, which at per cent.
would be 900 ayear. By this provisionthe
sum Of $25 900 will be due her on the 29th OF
this month, as one-third of year will then
have elapsed since the will was admitted 10
probate. A little over $1,000 has
been paid to her, and she has been
obliged to incur debts to the extent Of
Sc, ,000 She intends to contest the validity
of the will and will incur great expense hi
the contest. She also sets fourth that
she was unlawfully kept in an
insane asylum SO that she could
not appear whel the will was offered
for probate. The widow makes affidavit
that she has received about So 900, 81, 600 Of
which went to pay for medical attendance
on her late husband, and 81 900 for ground
rent on the homestead, payments which were
properly chargeable to the estate.
Roscoe Conkling appeared for the peti-
tioners and William NJ. Evarts for the exc
cutors and chief legatee. Samuel Hoyt,
Alfred Hoyt and James w. jackson, the
executors, make affidavit that they are
willing to pay such sums to the peti-
tioners as are necessary for their
support, but refuse to pay S16,500.
counsel fees for the petitioners. They say
that the total income from the estate since
the probate of the will, so far as received by
them, has been a little over $24 900, of
which about $4,000 has been paid to the
petitioners, and the rest they are now ready
to pay If the court so orders. Accord
ing 10 Jesse Hoyt's books, he ex
pended only $4,000 for the expenses
of himself and his family for the three years
preceding his death. The imprisonment OF
Nary Irene in the asylum was at the request
of her father and mother. Mr.. Conkling
said the reason why no more than $24 900
had been received by the executors from the
estate was that the interest on bonds was
paid in July and January. The executors
said nothing about what the estate had re-
ceived.
As the petition TO set aside the will would
shut off the income of the widow and her
daughter that was = reason why large
enough allowance should be made to bridge
over the wide chasm which a contest for
millions would make. The Surrogate re-
served his opinion.

About an Applicant for once.

To THE EDITOR OF THE GAZETTE: As
the Legislature will convene In n few days,
| wish, through the columns of your very
excellent paper, to mention the name OF
Franklin W. Hess, as an applicant for the
position of Scrgeant-at-Arms Of the House
Of Representatives. MIR. Hess is moral in
his habits, and very pleasant and gentle
manly in his manners. He is q sound
Democrat, and during the late campaign
worked almost day and night for the sue
cess of our party. 1t is not often that Ap-
poquinimink asks for position in the
Legislative department and the many
friends of Mr.. Hess here would feel very
grateful to the members of the House If
they will give him the position. l am sure
he would make an excellent officer. Yours
truly, RICHARD TOWNSEND.
