Once more a year has come to q
close and we look back through the
devious changes that time has
wrought and wonder what the future
has in store for us. The opening of
1885 found us with a marked ad-
vance, in the way of improvements
over the previous year, and now, as
We stand upon the threshold of 1886
We are astonished at the change one
short year has wrought. What was
yesterday a comparative wilderness,
to-day is the home of peace and
plenty. Thousands of acres OF aliu-
vial soil have been made to drop
fairness into the lap Of the farmer,
and still thousands more have been
prepared to yield their riches to the
touch OF toll in the coming year.
The sod shanty has given place to
the neat cottage-barns, graRer.es
and ~innumerable improvements have
been made. The farm begins to as
sumo the air and appearance of a
permanent home where comfort and
independence toasts their shins at
the fireside. In town the change
has been even more noticeable. New
buildings have sprang up on all
sides and progress and improvement
seems to have been the watch-word.
To the toilers who have helped pro-
duce this result in both town and
country it is a most gratifying con-
dItiOn and creates q cheerful feeling
of hope for the future. Only a few
more years will have been added to
the scroll of time ere this will be
the scene of wealth and all the com
forts and refinements that wealth
can bring. Let earnest work and
steady determination actuate our
people in the future as they have in
the past, and the time viii soon
come where the burden OF the pio-
neer, the debts and p~riyations of
that transition period, viii give
place to easier methods and greater
comforts and the country laughin
the very exhubr.encc OF its prosper
,ity.

The impulse 20 be charitable is
not lacking but the thoughtless, the
gay and busy, the opportunity to
help a suffering fellow creature does
not always present itself when the
heart Is symPathetically awake.
Still in the depth of winter it is
never hard TO find proper objects for
charity. The cold blasts will find
them out; the paugs of hunger dis
cover and seize them. Let then,

Preside chats and cosy dinners be.

misery of their less favored fellow
beings to fit occasionally across the
brilliant prospective. 1t viii sup

A meeting will be held at the
office of J. A. Lee, on Saturday
night for the purpose of taking
steps looking to the erection of a
mill and elevator in Webster. 1t is
hoped that every business man in
the town will be represented, as the
success Of the movement depends
almost wholly on their action, That
both a mill and elevator will be u
paying investment here is a question
that needs no discussion, the matter
to be discussed is as to what means
shall be employed to secure these
valuable acquisitions to our COM
mercial interests.

On Thursday evening last a
large crowd assembled at the church
to witness the exercises and the I'M
loading Of the christmas tree. The
exercises were very appropriate to
the occasion and were listened to by
a delighted audience. The tree was
handsomely decorated and was more
than attractive. After the exercises
which consisted of recitations and
singing, the children were delighted
with the appearance of a yeri.able
Santa Clans with his wife, and the
jolly old couple distributed candies
and apples among the little folks
with a lavish hand. Then came
the distribution of gifts and for an
hour every n vas on tip-toe with
pleasurable excitement. The excel
lent arrangement reflected great
credit on those who projected and
carried out the program.

No one is so unhappy as he who
is a drone in the hive of restless,
changeful humanity-he feels the
bubbling activity closing around his
inert soul, and he l~istlessly allows
his ship of life to be borne down
beneath the waves of study, ener-
getlc industry that are constantly
beating in upon the beetling shores
of mortality. Only energy and &C
tiyity brings content-only earnest
toll for the immortal brings peace
to the restless, pantIng soul. Read
er, do you realize that whatever of
JOY and peace You attain on either
shore, must be the result Of self
denying labor?

Roy Frozen 20 Death

On Monday of last week MI Richard
Adams, OF ClearfiaId township, accompanied
by his thirteen year-old son, started to the
woods to hunt, and 1t was also the inten-
tiOn of Mr Adams to visit Itooua before
returning home. Towards evening, when
they had reached point near WopsOnOn-
nick, near the line that divides Cambria and
Blair counties, the father left the boy, first
giving him sha gun and showing him the
way home, and started to Altoona where
be remained until Thursday, at which time
he returned home and, to his astonishment
and horror, found that his boy had not reach
ed there. The alarm was Immediately sent
to the neighboTs, and large number turned
out 10 search OF the missing boy. The place
where his father had parted with him ves
about two N lies and half from home and
II was thought be would have TO trouble II
reaching 1t, as he was well acquainted with
the roads All sorts Of theories were put
forth to account for the lads failure to re-
turn, some suppOsInG that he had been
drowned In the Clearfeld creek, which he
would have been obliged to cross IN order to
reach the house, while others we're under
the impression that he persisted In the deep
snow which fell that daY. The creek was
dragged and the mountain sides searched,
but no trace Of him WAS found until Monday
afternoon, when Mr.. Joseph wilt found
the lads's gun standing against tree near
Plack's mill Search was continued until
dark but nothing more was discovered that
day Early Tuesday morning search was
again taken up, this time by about one hun
dred and twenty-five men. They proceeded
slowly, exam mIuing everything carefully, and
at $50 O'Clock William Conway, one Of the
party, discovered the frozen remains OF the
boy against tree, at a point between Nc
Cartney's cabin and Demaree's mill. The
body was In a sitting posture, frozen stih,
and the skin discoored. 1t was carried to
PIack's mill, and from there taken on sled
to the residence of Mr. Adams. This is In
deed a sad affair, and one which cannot but
create the sympathy or all who learn the
particulars for the parents and friends of
the unfortunate little fellow. What he suf-
fered car only be conjectured.

rnrIeek,s IpinstIee to Grant.

The December number of the North
A7tertenn ReUicIO opens with an article on
"Halleck's Injustice TO Grant" The arti-
Gle is by Colonel Fred Grant, and relates TO
the Injustice to which General Grant was
subjected Immediately after the capture OF
Fort Donelson. 1t is said that the attempt
was subsequently made in the War Depart
ment to cover up this chapter OF history, the
records connected with It having been so
separated and put away in detached parts
that It was made exceedingly difficult to get
them together again. When General Grant
became President the strange condition of
these documents was discovered, and they
were finally Strengthened out. Colonel
Grant has made effective use OF them In his
present paper, which concludes as follows
1.-THE best comments | can make on this
correspondence, probably, is what l have
heard my father say. II is this:
General Halleck unquestiOnaby regarded
General T.. T. Smith as much filter officer
for the command OF all the forces In the mill
tary district than he (Grant), and, to render
Smith available for such command, desired
his promotion to antedate the promotions OF
the other commanders. It Is probable that
the general opinion ~ss that Smiths long
services In the army and distinguished deeds
rendered him the more proper person for
such command. This did not justify, how
ever, the dispatches which General Halleck
sent to Washington or his subsequent con-
ceslmeDt Of them when pretending to eI-
plain the action of bis superiors."

EDITOR OF THK FREEMAN Our little

side altar, built a new fence around our
cemetery, and q new stone sidewalk In front
of the church. We have also built "a hne
new school house. and a great many other
improvements have been made In the

tive practice.
Mr.. Andrew Farahaugh, one OF our black
smiths had a narrow escape from serious
injury one day last week. He had hitched
up his horse and buggy, when the horse got
frightened and started to run. Mr. Fara-
baugh got in front of him and siezed the
bride but was unable to stop him, the
horse jumping over him and knocking him
down with his bind feet, turning him SOM
ersaut and dragging the bug"y over him.
The horse then jumped q board fence and
made circle around a young orchard OF ap
pie trees, and was finally halted In his mad
career with but little damage done

Coalport railroad along Clearfield creek will
be extended and built to the mouth OF Chest
