1 1 VLlje Jicucvsoiuon, THURSDAY, JANUARY 7, 1S75. VYil, the holidays have come end gone, Christmas and New V oar's for which the viiilthvn, big an I little, old and young, have waited long and paitently, an; to us, here, noted aiii'.-tj" the forever gone yesterdays. Whether they were to us days of happiness r.nd enjoyment, or of sorrow. an J mourning, it is ail the same, they are gone, an. J live on ly in iniinaginut ion ; lonvit g 110 monument to mark that they ever even exi.-ted ; no trace, xcopt in the imperceptible furrows of our years that they were looked for and longed for, tl.iys enjoyed or mourned, but now, days buried deep in the unf.ithorned depths of oblivions .'rave. We hope thai to all, they were days of unalloyed rejoicing; and yet, this can hardly le looked fur ia a life lived amid sorrows, disappointment?, disease and death. Iut oven amid these di.-;;al surroundings there may he a shadow of the substance of a ray of isiotnentary pleasure which crossed and iihuiiined our path. If well, the presence of friends, and tokens of friendship were these io cheer; if sick, kind hands ministered to us; if unfortunate in business the future pro.-p; -ct an 1 the example of the successful were ix f 'ie us to cheer us on to hope; aye, fveii (he gloom of death cannot shut out that piercing ray w hich forces itself in from those rich promises oftiod, which, secure for the belie-, ing soul a blessed immortality uhcre neither moth nor rust do corrupt neither 'io thieves break through and steal. To all them, there is a reasonable ground for belief, that happiiKVa was not altogether absent on New War's day; and that, after all, there is reason to bo found in its experience upon which lo base the with of Happy New Year. Though perhaps late to take a retrospect f the year jv.si closed it cue do no harm t( iiok ba.-k. and brlcSy scar, the home happi i:ess v. hieh help to fill the measure of our ox perie::'.v during the h.-t twelve months. .Mi. n;.-t. a? a rouanunitv vre conceive that v.e have been blessed tjven beyond cur iic'glil. ers in many respects.. While the mone tary e'-nci-i.-ii.ns have affected nearly every t h v .-Pet ion of country, here, though tiujes have been sli.uhtiy more pinching thin usual, we have had comparatively plenty of the ihhy hvre to see us comfortably through the yenr. Labor has. not suffered stagnation, the poor man has had the opportunity o caiii the means to feed and clothe self, vife and little ones, and, if economical, to 5-y up a tithe against a rainy day. Nor have our t;;t n of means suffered loss, or failed to add a i'jv pennies to the many already laid a-i le against the demands of a time when the car.-1 of the body will draw heavier upon the n;- Mtal roervior than the care of the ui:;iov brg". In our harvests two we have 1, probably far beyond our just The drought of the summer, it is t:u-. -lr.-.d.- ' lUl: !ir T' Lctt.r 1 ..itetied our productions some, ;md ivi;:g a shade higher, but we have . and more, fur all practical purposes, vns and villages have leen fd sunip . and '''Ur farna rs are by many dollars iff. in cash, than when the year just ega;s. And so in almost every branch b::!es- eunc nt expenses have been met, '.'.! 11 the c-ih side does nut hi every hi sf :r.e over balance the outgo. It is true bat some who Loped for better things have t ...i; '."::; t iled to suecniidj to the, to them. s: .'Y.taUe ; but such things happen ereri in !: I A.perous times and at all times hap pen merely because the hope is not properly sectii-ivd by business vim and care. Com pared with poverty our situation is indeed iallo to those whose lines were laid in pl.ie.-, '.-here stagnation la all things and failure has ruled the hour. I j p dut cf health, too, we nd ourselves to have leen exceedingly blessed. While o:brr countries have been almost depopula ted with plagues, and other sections of our own country have suffered from the ravages of epidjmics, wc have lived with nothing of the kind to mar our pleasures nothing to bring general grief to the community in which we dwell. It is true that places which a year ago were Clled are now empty. It is true that lights which once burned brightly in the social and political and chinch- circles have gone cut within the twelve mouths. Wo mourn the loss of these sincerely aud we join sympathy with the afflicted, but these have but paid the debt of uature in the natural course of things, and their lives gave iiisurauee that they have but goue before, to leal the march of spiritual life, through an eternity of blissful iiu mortality. We miss them, but we would not recall them ; for with them "iifes fitful scenes are over," aud th-y re:;t in peace with the just. We might pursue the theme much further, but wherefore. Enough is already revealed to show that in the past we have much to r-juice over and but little to mourn over. Nor do we see occasion to borrow trouble from the future. An all-wise Providence, who ruleth ail things for the best, will provide for us in his wisdom shall seem - most meet for us. J-'irmly believing this, without hesitation we extend to each and every reader of the JeJ'. a most heartfelt ''kippy Xmc Year.1' The celebrated Monroe Snyder case, which promises to hold on us well as the "Calder and Chapman", cases of Wayne, the "Dry Land Church caoo cf Northampton," and tho ''John Merwjne aud Wm.

Musical. The Stroudsburg Cornet Band made their appearance on our street, on New Year's day and treated our citizens to a num ber of choice selections fiom their musical reportoirc. In the evening the Beethovens made their appearance in front of their ball, with torches, and played several pieces, but they fell before the onslaught offrezo and then retired.

A Good Api'Ointmext. The Secretary of the Treasury, at the suggestion of the Li teral revenue department, has appointed John McCarty, Esq., of this borough, Col lector of the Wayne and Pike district vice Charles P.

His promptness and efficiency won for him the respect and commendations of the department, and, doubtless, led to his selec tion for the position to which he has been now called. That he will prove equal to all the requirements of the service we have not a doubt. We congratulate him on his good luck, and the department on its wisdom in appointing him. Mui'NTAix Home Pa..

On December 22d, when the New York Train arrived at Forks Station, a party of Trentonians, composed of the following mem bers of the Poeono Park Association : David Taylor, President, E. E. Hooker, Treasurer, Wm. Baniford, Sup't, and Joseph Stokes, one of the iJircctors, got out of the cars. They were all cordially received by Mr. L. T. Smith, who keep the Hotel at the above named sta tion. After the usual greetings, one of the par ty suggested to Mr. Smith to hitch up his team of greys, and take him to see a friend 6ome dis tance otT. Of course the request was complied with; but no sooner were they out of pight, than the others returned to the Depot and brought forth a good sized box and on opening it, revealed a splendid Mirror, nbout 7 feet in length, splendidly framed, and having on the top thin inscription: "Presented to L. T. Smith, by the Pocono Park Association," and this fol lowed by the named of David Taylor, Pres't, L. T. Smith, Vice Preri't, E. E. Hooker, Treas'r, Chas. Pechtel, Sec'y, Wm. IJamford, Sup't., Joseph Stokes, A. V. Manning and Isaac Wy man, Directors. The Mirror was put up in the public room, and shortly after Mr. Smith and Mr. Stokes returned. Mr. Smith was in vited in the Parlor by the party, and from there taken into the bar-room, and if any body was ever completely non-plussed by any transac tion of this kind it was L. T. Smith. He was completely dumbfounded, and did not recover his speech for about three minutes, and then only far enough to ay "all take a drink," and quite a merry time there was at Forks, you may depend. The present is a magnificent one, and will ever be treasured by Mr. and Mr3. Smith, as one of the inot valuable pieces of furniture in their possession.

Tiio "Warren House," Hackcttstown, was on Christmas-Eve the scene of as k'a..int a social party a-s ever gat.h're! within its walli ; hfing composed of the Tele-raiih-tairof the Morris A Essex Il.II. The ohjt-ct be in;.:, t ) present their Superintendent Richard O'I'rikn a ha:iJ.-'ji!te G;M Wateh, locket anl chain, which was most beautifully and appropriately owriiicil. Mr. A Mr?. O'Buikn ha-.l accepted an invitation to .spend the Christmas with some friends at Hudson I'ity and were on their way thither on that evening, when they were met at Haekeitstown Vy D.spateher Cotilhau-h, who induced them to step otr the b-oad-i:ua:re and wait for train No. 6 and rome by war of NVwark. After the broad-guajM had Wt, Xo. O was fictitiously announced to be one hour late, a handsome doulI -sr. i-h to which '.vc-r;? attached a spanking pair of greys happening there just at that moment, a sh-ih ride was su-estcd. This accepted, they were driven around a few blocks and mysteriously landed at the "Warren House' which was in a blaze of good cheer for their reception and where they received a warm welcome from a larsc number of friends already assembled there. After some time, spent in cordial ijreetins, the parlors and reception room were thrown op-n, and Farrell's string band, from Newark, began to discourse some excellent music, whi;h savored so strongly of the light fantastic, that before many moments, several sets of ba-y feet were beatiug time to its cnliving strains. At trn-thir-ty, the coiiipany beiiij; called to order and tbea'-iciilion of Mr. O'Brien bcinij retpiestod for a moment Mr. II. H. Zuhler of Hobokcu sU ppxl up to him raid placing a package in bis hands said : "We the Telegraph Opera tors of the Morris A I'ssx Division take this auspicious opportunity of conveying to you, our n-ntiments of hearty appr.-ciat.iou of the genuine jroodiicss that has characterized you as oar Superintendent ; wc a.-k your acceptance of this Wateh and Chain which wc olllr as a tribute of our reat respect and esteem, and trust thai this Time keeper wijl bit as unfaltering true to its du ties as its future owner has Lei u to his. We earnestly hopa too, that a kind Providence will crown yourself and Mrs,. O'Brien here present, with lnn; I iff, health and happiness. After the applause which this called forth had subsided Mr. O'Brieu arose and said: My friends, this surprise basso completely overpowered me thai I scarcely feel aMe to give proper expression to my fceiins ; so generous a proof was not at all neces sary to assure nie of your friendship, the cheerful and L-tiici.-nt manner iu which you have always responded to flvery requirement of the services, KitLifi-tl me that I possess -d your confidence and good will. This beauti ful present serves at this moment, suggesting as it does, the lapse of time to recall the years that we have work ed together on these lines. It seems appropriate at such a moment to direct our attention to the great studies which thescieuce of telegraphy has made in that time. A few years ago if anyone had asked us whether it would be possible to send two messag"s over the same wire at the same time, wc would unhesitatingly have answered no yet this feat has become so familiar through theoperation of the Duplex that all haveeca-vd to wonder, and we arc now going on to quadruple the capacity of each wire. A consideration of the advances and the earliest and more familiar ones, all comprised within the space of a single life time idnec Morse's first experiment, plainly shows that telegraphy is only in its infancy and that there is a future in our profession for which each one of us should endeavor to qualify him self. I will conclude, Ladies and tieutlenien, by return ing my most sincere thanks for this handsomo testi monaland for the kind and encouraging words that ac company it. This was greeted with strong expressions of approval and pleasure, after which the party formwd in line and marched to music to the dining-hall where a sumptous banquet a waited them;thc profusion of which tha and tasteful maunnr in which tbo table aud rooms were decorated, rcllected the utmost credit on their worthy host Mr. McCraeken. During the supper many good things were said. Mr. O'Brien took occasion to to refer in the highest terms to Mr. Iteasonor, Supt. of the Morris A Essex Division and gave as an instance, the splendid condition to which he has brought his Division, that quite recently he took President fcdoau and the Directors over it in a special train at the tre mendous speed of a milo a minute., yet so great was their confidence iu the management and so perfect their sense of security that some of them actually took a comfortable nap while being burled through space at this lighting speed. Among the invited guests were. Col. Balentinc, Squire Itusling, Mr. S. T. Bray. The former mady a very happy address, complimenting the telegraph profession in the highest terms for their in telligence, zeal and uncompromising integrity. Ample justice having been dune, the supper, the dancing was resumed with renewed vigor and kept up uutil the3:3l) a. in., train lor New York waa heard approaching in the distance, when all prepared to desperse to their re spective duties, each ono feeling better for the happy time enjoyed by nil.
