III. M. Brantner, who has been

Steve Gordon, who went to

what he means by thst-this acre, I
suppose, is just north of Keytesville,
close to the Scribner school-house.

The day before Christmas our
city was full Of jolly, good-natu.ed
people, and from the amount Of
presents carried off it was evident
that Santa Claus was awful busy at
night, when the order of distribu-
tion was made. Seon after dark the
M. E. and c. z. church was bril-
liantly light, and when the doors
were thrown open to admit the audi
ence grand sight presented itself.
There groaniug beneath the load of
presents stood two improvised
stately cedars, every branch of
which bore rich fruit. AS the
Frenchman would say, it was magni-
fique, grand, beyond compare. Mu-
sic was furnished by select choir,
and the opening song Joy to the
World, the Lord is Come" was fol-
lowed by prayer, Rev. Ramsey lead
ing. Next the choir sang "Ring,
Ring, Merry Christmas Bells" then
few minutes speech by Rev. Ram
sey, when Santa Claus WAS intro
duced by solo, lead by Mrs. L. B..
Coates, assisted by afull chorus. A
committee then took charge of the
trees, and delivered the presents to
the anxiously awaiting children. The
house was so crowded that standing
room was at premium. The writer
takes this occasion to thank his
friends for theirkindly remembrance
in the shaps Of valuable. presents.
in the case of the State against
Howard, charged with selling liquor
without license, tried before a jury
last Thursday IN Justice Newbold's S
court, the defendant was found
guilty and his fine placed at $40.
An appeal was taken. In the pre-
liminary examination, where the
same defendant was charged with
arson, after partial hearing of all
the evidence, the prisoner was dis
charged, the evidence, in the opin-
ion of the Court, being insufficient
to bind him over.
We regret exceedingly that Cap
tain Baker is in critical condition,
and that grave fears are entertained
for his recovery. He was slowly
recovering from his first attack when
pneumonia sat in, which, in his de-
bilitated condition, will be almost
certain to prove fatal. es5

Christmas has once more come

any one, and many fond recollec-

The burning of the upper bridge
on the Charlton river IS q great in
convenience to travel north of here
to the town of Salisbury. We learn
that the county court has authorized
parties to raise the bridge out Of the
river, preparatory to having it re-
paired--a move, we think, in the
right direction, as the structure was
too costly to allow it to wash away
for want of timely attention. ei
We notice that some correspon-
dent of yours from the kingdom of
Pee Dee is raising great hue and
cry because some one took the lib
erty to say about restraining the
restive swine from running at large, |
as though we any longer had any
outside range to amount to anything |
-as though even our cows, what few
run out, did not have to lean up
against the fence to bawl at their |
calves, and as if a few Charlton bot
tomites who turned out in the bot
tom twenty years ago some old hazle
splitters, whose posterity never rms
out, and for that reason they. seem
to have exclusive jurisdiction. SO
much so that no honest man can
count on any large dividends from
the increase of any later deposits, l
suppose is the principal reason why |
we have this howl. We, for one,
favor the stock law. But we are also |
in favor of general stock law, and
we are inclined to think If our peo-
pie get chance to vote on a law of
that kind, Charlton county will
carry it by handsome majority.

Graves at CullOden.

Many will be interested to learn that
the graves or trenches in which the bod
les OF the unfortunate Highlanders
were buried after the battle of Culloden
are being cared for by the present pro-
prieto, Of the estate OF Culloden. Formerly
Ine graves were distinguishable in the
esel green sward at the roadside only
by the slightly raised sod. But stones
bearing the names o. the clans have just
been erected Mt the head of each trench.
On one stone is inscribed the names OF
the clans "MGillivray, MLean and
MLauchlan," and there are separate
stones for "C.an Stuart of fAppin, ""Clan
Cameron" and =" Clan Macintosh.
Two graves are marked "Clans mixed"
At the ahortive "great cairn" slab
has been placed bearing the following
inscription "The battle of Culloden
was fought on this moor, 10th April,
l746. The graves of tho gallant High
landers who fought for Scotland and
Prince Charlie are marked by the names
Of their clans" The interesting prehis-
tr rema ns at G ava have also received
some attention from the owner of the
pr ,perty. Some of the standing stones
which had fallen down have been set up;
unfortunately, one or two have been
made to face in the reverse way from
what they did originally. The place
otherwise has been improved. In clear
ing up the ground round the largest
circle, paved, or rather cause
waved, paths have been discovered lead
ing from the base of the cairn in
straight line to three Of the outer standing
stones. Local archeologists have also
found q great number of coup mark
ings" on the stones in this locality. One
stone discovered had cup marks upon
both sides-said to be q very unusual
thing. --Edin6uryh Scotsma'l

Henry George Among'the Scotch.

The crowning incident OF HENRY
GEoRGR's victorious tour through
Scotland as the champion of a free
land, took place in Glasgow on the
18th Of February, and tho Glasgow
Mail bus a full account Of il. In
delivering his speech there tLat
night to u great audience. the Amer
lean Revolutionist met with wei
come that showed the Scotch at
their best,--open to ideas, quick to
perceive, ready TO appreciate, and
full OF warmth under the action OF
generous thought. The enthusi-
asm Of the audience even surpassed
that of the speaker, whose e1erget>
ic sentences were hailed with cheers
that shook the city hall OF the an
cicnt city. The speech itself was of
striking power and quality--a lofty
strain of reason, remonstrance, sen-
timenL, sarcasm and humor, rich i'll
facts, illustrations and anecdotes
handling with fearlessness the in
solent Dukes and other landlords
who make carnage OF the scotch
people. The report of Mr. Georges
speech in the Glasgow Mail shows
that, since he left this city a few
weeks ago, he has developed into
Nh orator able TO sway multitudes
and impei them to action. The Vice.
Chairnau Of the Giasgo Y meeting
said he had carried the fiery cross
through the Highland glens %nd
across the plains of the border"
and had "kindlcd fire in Scotland
that would become ~ consuming
flame, burning up root and branch

ism"
Ddt tho GROWING incident 10
which reference has been made took
place immediately after the close o.
bis speech when the meeting resolv-
ed itself into an organization tOi
restoring tho land to the people,
entitled the Scottish Land Restor-
alton League" and nt once, before
adjournment, no fewer than one
thousand nine hundred and forty
men sent mp their names t. be en-
rolled as members OF the League.

A Delicate Subject.

A church dignitary, whose jurisdic-

and afforded several kinds of climate,
was greeted by clerical friend with no
end Of questions as they were riding up
town in crowded Car. Inquiries spirit
ual were poured in at rapid rate, and
then the matter of his temporal environ
ment WAS the subject of discussion.
The Western shepherd was speaking Of
the extremes of temperature to which
they were subjected in the district where
he resided. Suddenly his New York
friend asked, "How does your wife
stand the heat?
A peculiar look stole into the counte-
nance Of the ecclesastic from beyond
the Mississippi as he quietly answered,
my wife has been dead year"
The infelicity & nentionng an ele-
vated temperature in connection with
the departed was too much for the

Portland Wants the Alaskan.

The new tecl steamer Alaskan was
at Callao, March 9th and should
reach San Francisco by the 25th
inst. Like the Olympian, she was
built to run on Puget Sound. Re.
Gently it has been limited that she
was to bs employed between Port
land and Astoria as . daily boat.
She cou!d make the "trip in less than
Eve hours. Such boat could land
pas sengcrs at 1lwaee in that time.
The summer travel on the Columbia
would justify the placing Of the
Alaskan on this route, and
would have tho effect Of increas-
ing travel. While the trade of Pu>
got Soand was large last year, there
is no certainty that it will show an
increase for some time. With the
Olympian, George e. Star. North
! Pacific, Hayward and o,hcr boats
there the trade could we'll he hans

| will not pay without mail contracts.
The placing ofsuch boat on the
Columbia river would more than
prove II convenience, and it is well
worth serious consideration on the
part Of the O. r. Il n. Cos. manag>
