PROHIBITION.

We produce this morning another Of
Nr. HART's communications to the Iate'h'
gencer respecting his Prohibition investiga-
tions 10 Maine, which is on q line with
and yerife, the REGISTERS oft REPEATED
declarations on the subject.
This subject is one Of great interest and
also OF graf importspcs 10 West Virgins.
If tie Prohibition amendment carries in
this State it will have one certain effect;
it will cut of an immense revenue that
now goes toward psyiog the expenses OF
the government, Consequently neeessitst'
irg an increase in the already heavy bur
den of the taxpayer. As for its effect on
the liquor traffic, ii would amount to prac-
tically nothing. We see in Msiae, under
stringent Prohibition laws, that the liquor
traffic is carried on practically uninter,
ruoted. If this be the case in Maine end
other Prohibit on States, what would be
the eff CT here il Wheeling, which is
about the only point in this Stat:
that would bs sffsc ei-for we now have
local option in fouI-6fths OF the cOunti:s,

between Ohio and Pennsylvania, within

abundance, and could easily bs Shrugged
in AIRY quantity over the border. O1i

would simply make the bushes free TO all

ever to start secret grcgger,

thus the worst phase of tie traffic would b
tostertd and developed as it cannot b
when regulated by the law. Drinker
would drink, in secret or openly, by To

Ia short, the traffic would not only re
csiye no check by the passage of p,oaibI
ton laws, as we &c, from the experience G
other Ststss, but it's worst features woul

NINE KILLED, FIFTY WOUNDED.

A frightful accident occurred TO the
Portland express train on the Boston
and Maine Railroad, near Haverhlll,
Mass, last Tuesday. As the train was
approaching n watertank at the
bridge over the Merrimac river, run
ming at a tremendous speed, two cars
left the rails and went crashing into
and demolished the Water-tank house.
In this house a number of section
hands were eating dinner Mr. John
O'Brien, retired merchant of Brad
ford, was talking with the section
hands, and was killed, together with
William Taylor, one of the laborers.
John Walden, another railroad man,
was with them. He was hurt and will
probably die. The car that crashed
into the tank-house Knocked the foun-
dation out, letting the heavy tank
down upon the car, crushing through
the top of the car and doing fearful
work within. The next car behind
telescoped the car ahead of it, adding
to the havoc. The killed and wound
ed were mostly in those cars. The
people in the smoker had a fearful eX
perience. One of the wheels on the
front truck broke, and the car bump
ed against the end of the bridge, caus-
ing il TO careen, and the car ran upon
the bridge for some distance upon the
sleepers then careened the other way
and leaned against the ironwork of
the side of the bridge. The passen-
gers, of whom there were about thir-
ty, found themselves at the top of the
car, while it seemed to those who had
sufficient presence of mind to think
that the car was tumbling off the
bridge TO the river below. The pas
sengers managed to crawl out, none
being seriously injured. AS soon as
they reached terra tirma, such as were
able rushed back and helped those
who were imprisoned in the wrecked
cars. The entire force of physicians
in Haverhill was summoned by tele-
phone. and was quickly at hand, and
the wounded were cared for as soon
as released. Altogether nine per
sons were killed and tifty-two injured.
The accident is supposed to have been
caused by a Broken wheel.

A soys COMPOSITION ON CHRISTMAS.

At the request of the teacher of the
young gentleman whose name is
signed below, We publish the follow
ing composition:
KEARSEYsvILLE, w. VA, Jan. ., ISIS.
We are glad to look back through dusty
archives, whose pages send forth the unmis-
taxable odor of hoary knowledge, and turn
ing over the yellow leaves ofan ancient cat
alogue OF church festivals for S5i A. D., to
read in quaint and curious script, the nrst
mention OF December 18th as Christmas, the
day on which Christ was born. We celebrate
Christmas by giving praises 10 God aud max
ing little presents 10 one another In imita-
ton OF the Wise Men OF the East" This
Day is hailed with deli mt by the young folks
especially, who shout for joy at the mere
mention Of new toy or stocking full OF
candy" which santa Claus" brings down
the chimney. Strange, is II not, that Of the
most important date in history, the only fact
that seems proven with comparative GER
tainty is that Christ was not born upon the
day we celebrate: however, since the fifth cen
fury December 25th has been our Christ day.
From Scandinavans, who in winter built
immense IlreS on the nlLl tops, III uOIlOI vi tAt
suns return, We borrowed the "Yule log
and it has become al English custom TO pre-
serve a small piece OF one years Yule log 10
light the hearth fire on the following Christ
mas tide, In token warmth and plenty 10
abide in the house throughout the coming
year: when the log was brought in, drawn
by the merry retainers. the youngest child OF
the family being seated upon It, the family
assembled 10 witness its entrance, and TO
prepare ii for the lighting.
Many ancient supersttions have led 10 the
celebration OF the 9th of December as our
Saviors birthday.
Christmas is always merrier when the
ground is covered with snow; then the sill
very ring of the sleigh bells makes many
young lady happy; and doesn't her heart
beat when she sees her sweetheart coming in
his handsome cutter drawn by pIancing
ponies To take her just little sleigh ride
Now we boys, who do not know what sweet
hearts are, and who cannot boast OF our fine
teams, are content to enjoy ourselves with
sled and skates, and think the music made
by our happy laughing 'oices completes with,
indeed rivals that OF the gayest "BeiteS.'
