why Woodbridge Committed Suicide.

Why WG0uDfldSo COWMltteu SulcIde-
When Geo. N. Woodbridge, Cashier
of the Savings Bank of Richmond COM
mitted suicide, the cause-was a mystery
as the affairs of that bank were all
right, but it has been since developed
that he was short in his accounts as
trustee for his sister-in-law, Mrs.
Richards, to the sum of $18 coo, and
as trustee for widow lady he was
short several thousands of dollars
also that he was indebted to a bank
other than the one of which he was
cashier, in the sum of a few thousands
of dollars.
Mrs. Richards and Mrs. Woodbridge
were daughters of the late Robert Ed
mond. In his will he made Mr. Wood
bridge trustee for Mrs. Richards and
Walter Edmond trustee for Mrs Wood
bridge. The late cashiers shortage is
| due to bad investments.

WHOM DO THE couNc.-s HONOR?

WHOM DO THE COUNC4-S HONOR.
Before the issue of another number of the
y SPECTATOR Christmas will have arrived, and
/. we now extend in advance the cordial greet
ings of the season to all the readers and
friends of the SPECTATOR, with the sincere eX-
preston of the hope that they will observe 1t
appropriately and enjoy it richly. 1t seems
to US that if there is any anniversary that
should be observed with religious services OF
praise and alteration, it is that Of Christmas,
the anniversary of the birth of Him who Is
recognized by all Christians as the Saviour OF
mankind. The manner in which that day IS
celebrated by the majority is not that of con-
secration, but of dissertation. The important
event celebrated and the character of the being,
of whose birth it is the anniversary, seem to
be wholly lost sight of, and the occasion is
awaited of to engage in pleasures and enjoy
ments wholly inappropriate, and some even
sinful and inexcusable. Why should that day
be celebrated by Bacchanalian revelry, or by
the blowing Of horns that torture the nerves,
or the firing OF popcrackers and other explo-
sives, which not only annoy, but endanger
both life and property? This way of celebrat-
ing the anniversary of the birth of Christ
seems to US not only anomalous, but wholly
inappropriate, not to say inexcusabe.
If it were celebration in honor of the
great enemy of Christ and of mankind, that
mode of observing it might be- and we think
would be, proper enough, for he would have |
no cause to object to- but would be gratified
at the most Observation-Disclosures, preferring the
worship of Silenus to that of Christ; and, as
the Superintendent of fireworks on a grand |
scale, he would no doubt be pleased with the
firing of popcrackers and other explosives and
fireworks which not only annoy peaceful and
peace-loving citizens, but endanger their prop
erty, and, in some cases, their lives by fright
ening their horses, &c.
Is it the Saviour of mankind or its great
enemy that City Councils honor when they
suspend ordinances, prohibiting the firing OF
popcrackers, that they may be fired ad hbitaoa
ON Christmas day?
We leave this question for the consideration
of the present and future Councils. Hereto
fore theU}us.- consideration
:; have not given it
!. deserves else they would not have suspend E
ed for the time, and that the most inappro-
pirate time, the wise ordinance to which re-
ference is made.

Family Reunion.

On Monday of last week. there was re-
union of the family of Rev. ]. G. Wheat 81
the residence of his daughter, Miss L. c.
Wheat, the Principal of the Lewiston Home
School," near Lynnwood Rockingham coun-
ty, in celebration of the S0th anniversary OF
the birth of the venerable and highly esteem
ed, Rev. J. C. Wheat the head of the family.
After the enjoyment Of sumptuous dinner,
the company was entertained with charades,
tableaux, &c. given by the pupils of the
Lewiston Home School,, which were follow
ed by dancing and pleasant social intercourse.
Among those present on this interesting
and pleasant occasion were Miss Z. c. Wheat;
DR.. Lewis Wheat, of Richmond, Va, his wife
and three children; Mr.. and Mrs. Charles c.
Wheat, of this city and their six children; j.
Clifton Wheat, druggist, of Winchester; John
C. Wheat secretary and treasurer of the Grot-
toes company, Shendun, Va. Ex-senator
John f. Lewis, brother, and Mrs. Samuel
Lewis, sister-in-law of Mrs. Wheat.
Rev. J. C. Wheat, who has many warm
friends in this city of which he was a citizen
for many years, is well preserved octogena
rian, and we hope his health and life will be
preserved to enjoy many happy family re-
unions in the future.

Shortest Day of the Year.

This, Dec. 2lst, is the shortest day of the
year. This period is known as the winter
solstice, For few days the sun seems to oc-
cupy the same position, and hence it is called
the solstice, which is derived from two Latin
words which mean, in combination, the sun
standing still.
At this time, the sun is farthest North of the
equator, and it will now begin to recede to-
wards the equator with the days gradually
growing longer till the Dist Of June, when it
will again commence going North with the
days gradually growing shorter. Though
colder in December than in June in the North
ern hemisphere, yet the earth is three million
miles nearer the sun in December than in
June.
This results from the fact that the rays of
the sun strike the earth more obliquely in the
Northern hemisphere in the winter than in
the summer, and consequently fewer rays fall
| on it, which causes necessarily proportionate
diminution of temperature. 1t is fortunate fol-
the inhabitants of the Northern hemisphere
that they are nearer the sun in winter than in
| the summer. This is not the case with those
living in the Southern hemisphere, for at the
| time of their summer, which is our winter, the
earth in nearer the sun.

Popcrackers.

As the Council have given the boys carte
blanche to fire popcrackers on next Monday, a
| continuous fusillade may be expected without
| regard to consequences. 1t is hoped that no
accident will be caused thereby, for the action
of the Council would make the city response
BILE for them. AS Monday is Court-day when
large number of persons will be coming to
the city on horseback and in vehicles, making
accidents liable to occur from the firing of
! popcrackers, and as the fear of them may
prevent some from coming, thus diminishing
| the business of the merchants, their petition
to the Council to keep the ordinance pro-
hibiting it in force till 5 o'clock in the even
| ing was reasonable, and, we think, should
have been granted. Should any serious acct
dent occur, the Council will have cause to re-
| gret their refusal to do so.
