country are AS prosperous as they deserve,
bnt il is quite true that they are more pros
perous, and have more of the comforts OF
life than the farmers of any other nation in
the world. And it may be said with equal
truth and force, that the position which the
American farmer occupies in the political
social and industrial affairs of this country
enables him To act and vote on conservative
principles without being extensively intlu

that they are beyond the reach of such per

The Radical organ Of this county con-
graduates itself upon the assumption that
the prohibition question will split the De-
mocracy of the State at the next election
1t goes still further, and delares that should
the Democrats espouse the cause Of prohi-
bition then the Republicans will unite heart.
i.y with the license party but should they
not do so then his party will become the
champions of prohibition. This is fair
specimen Of the political prostitute, but We
doubt If any of the respectable portion OF
the Republican party will follow such al.
vice So far AS the Democratic party is
concerned, it will nominate Democratic
ticket upon democratic platform, and elect
il too.

of the First M. E. Church Sunday SchoOI-Tsachers' Meeting. The First M. E. Church Sunday School held it's annual Christmas festival Christmas night. Despite falling snow there was 8 large attendance and all was bright and happy within. The little folks in the infant class were presented with gift, the eiris with a dolly, the boys with top. All the pupiIs of the school were happily remem- bered and each member received present of 8 cabinet sized picture of the pastor of the church Rev. Mir. Buck, gift most acceptable to all. All the Chinese pupils of the Sunday school, whose ages range from fifteen to four, were presented with very acceptable gift. They stood up in body and were presented the gifts together. They like the Sunday school and seem to appre- eiate it's benefits very much and are very faithful to their lessons and attentive to the instruction given them. There are about twenty of these Celestials in the school. MT. Buck, the pastor, and MT. Matthias, the superintendent, were each pre- scented with an elegant pair of vases from the Chinese pupils. Very ingenious and beautiful parIor ornaments of fancy col ored paper, with a myriad of colored pend ants and tassels, the whole resembling some- what a balloon and cornucopia, were pre- sented, one each to four of the teachers. and the Chinamen bestowed literally of other presents to their kind friends interested in their welfare. There was singing by the adults, and singing by the children, recitations and other attractions which rendered the oc- casion full of interest to all. Next Sunday the praise service given last Sunday evening will be repeated.
 Printed programmes issued for the teach CTS meeting this evening announce the exer- cises as follows:

At Trinity Church.

The new lectern presented to Trinity church by the three daughters of the late Nathaniel Booth consists of pedestal hay ing heavy terminals representing to some extent the feet of lion. From this arises a pillar about eight inches in diameter, on which is the eagle-a splendid piece of work. The reading frame, resting on the back of the eagle, and which is not seen by the audi ence in church, is bound with crimson velvet and is readily adjusted to any height. The IecteEn is entirely of brass and harmonizes with the new brass pulpit. It is thought by competent judges of artistic work in brass to be the han5somest object of the kind ever seen in an American church.
 Toward the foot of the pillar is the follow ing, cut in the brass, in script letter, the en- graving being very tastefully and carefully done:

A quertette consisting of the Bush brothers of the B quartette of New Haven, and Mir. Geo. Blakeslee and Miss Ida Bassett, sang exceedingly well. The chorus choir in the gallery performed their part well. The anthem And these were Sheperds'' was finely rendered.
 The annual reunion of the Congregational church and Sunday school is 10 be held on Tuesday evening, Jan. l, 1884. There will be the usual amount of literary exercises, addresses &c.
