Thy race is run ; We'll shed no tear Upon thy bier, But look with cheer To that New Year Whose days are just begun. Farewell, Old Year ! Farewell, the things Brought forth within This twelve-month time ; Farewell, the din, The strife and sin, The wrong and crime, Dropp'd from the wings Of the dragon dread, That on the breast Of the giant Past, Now lies dead. Farewell, the deeds That stain with shame, Sad Hist'ry's page! The true heart bleeds To blot their blame From title-deeds To Christian fame, Of this dark Age! Farewell, the wrong That makes the weak Slaves to the strong; That seeks to wreak Vengeance and woe On a fall'n foe: Whether beyond Atlantic's wave, In Porte Sublime, It shames the time With Cretan slave, Or Albion blonde Stains with the blood Of the brotherhood That, brave and good, Would Ireland save; Or, whether here, In this dear land, Whose polity, Democracy, Stands strong and clear, The workmanship Of God's own hand ; Whose glorious fame, With hallow'd flame, Inspires the lip Of those who speak In Freedom's name; Ay, whether here The victor North Stamps his red foot His pow'r to put In vengeance forth ; Still, even here, Farewell, the Wrong That makes the weak Slaves to the strong. Welcome, New Year! Time's latest born! Hail, thou bright morn, Thou child of Hope! Thou that must cope With Error Cyclopean, With Falsehood Briarean, If thou wouldst clear The stalls Augean. All hail, Thou child of Hope! Thou wilt not fail! Welcome, New Year! Welcome, the things That make for peace, For brotherhood And ev'ry good That virtue brings. Welcome, the Truth, Welcome, the Right! Oh! Year, make tight, In thy strong youth, For Right and Truth. Sweep from thy path The legions of Error, As the Cyclone's wrath Whelms the isle, And strike with terror, The sons of Guile. Welcome, Oh! Land, ltedeem'd, restor'd! Welcome, the Laws That shall give pause To rule of sword. Too long the brand Of civil slaves, Has been impress'd Upon the breast Of Freedom's sons, By fools and knaves. 'Welcome, the Cause That blood-shed shuns, And without guns, Or swords, or staves, The country saves. Welcome, the time When bells shall chime, And trumpets sound, In tones of glee, The jubilee That ushers in The Nation free From Tyranny ; When that sleuth-hound, Taxation, dies Amid the din Of joyful cries That shall uprise From those who bled At his deep wound ; When, stark and dead, The monster lies Who'd make our land A Paradise Of Fraud and Knavery, Black freedom and White slavery. Welcome, New Year! And mayst thou bring No single thing To cause a tear To those who sing, With me, thy birth ; But may thy praise In anthems ring O'er all the earth. THE CARRIER. MORE FAT HOGS.— Mr. J. J. Shoe maker of the Bedford Hotel, recently slaughtered Ave little pigs, aged fifteen months and six days, which weighed 2,093 pounds, clean meat. The heavi est one weighed 484 pounds. These are the largest hogs of the same size and the heaviest hogs of the same weight and at the same time the youngest hogs of the same age, that we have heard of for some time. Here is food for speck - ulation ! Somerset Democrat , take no tice ! CHRISTMAS.— The anniversary of the birth of the blessed Saviour, was duly and properly observed in our ancient borough. Business was entirely sus pended. Service was held in a num ber of the Churches. The German Re formed Church was beautifully decora ted ; a Christmas tr*e for the delectation of the children of the Sabbath School, ornamented the Church; and hand some presents were given to the Sab bath School. The Episcopal Sabbath School had a celebration which did great credit to the children and to the superintendent. The Court Room (the temporary place of worship of the E piscopal Church) was festooned with evergreens and very prettily decorated. A very handsome Christmas tree, glit tering with gifts for the children, was a notable feature. Rev. Mr. Hill de livered an interesting address to the children.—Santa Claus had evidently been about, during the previous night, for the street was tilled with joyous youngsters, flourishing sticks of candy in one hand and a tin trumpet, or a toy horse, in the other. Traces of Pelsnick el, too, were discoverable, pieces of a torn mask lying here and there, and, now and then, a lazy boy, with the lamp-black of the night before not all washed out of his eyebrows, making his appearance. And thus passed Christmas ; may it have been a merry one to all our readers, and may they live to see many happy returns of the same blessed anniversary. ST. JOHN'S DAY.—MASONIC SUPPER AT THE BEDFORD HOTEL. —St. John's night, 27th inst., was made the occasion of an elegant entertainment, given by the members of Lodge No. 320. A. Y. VI., at the Bedford Hotel. Mine host Shoemaker, and his excellent lady, had prepared a table which literally groan ed under the weight of "good things." At nine o'clock, P. M., the table was suriounded by the assembled guests, B. F. Meyers, acting W. M., presiding. The blessing of God was invoked by Rev. A. V. C. Schenck, after which was sung the beautiful hymn, begin ning, "Come, Brothers." The guests then turned their attention to the dis cussion of the inviting dishes before them, to which they did ample justice. After the cloth was cleared away, toasts were gi% r en and responded to as fol lows : "Ancient Freemasonry." Respond ed to by Rev. A. V. C. Schenck. "The Grand Lodgeof Pennsylvania." In silence and standing. "Our Worshipful Master." Respon ded to by I)r. C. N. Hickok. "Our Senior Warden." Responded to by R. W. Berkstresser. "Our Junior Warden." Responded to by T. R. Gettys. "Our Treasurer." Responded to by Mr. J. C. Long. "Our Secretary." Responded to by Mr. Jacob Reed. "Our Tyler." Responded to by Mr. J. E. Black. "Our Host and Hostess." Respond ed to by Mr. Isaac Mengel. The closing hymn, "Auld Lang Syne," was then sung by the entire as sembly, after which the guests disper sed, delighted with the evening's en tertainment. DEATH OF A DISTINGUISHED DI VINE.—REV. H. HARBAUGH, D. D., well known in religious and literary circles, died at his home in Mercers burg, on Saturday last, 28th ult. Dr. Harbaugh was the author of numerous religious works, and for years the edi tor of "The Guardian," a literary-reli gious magazine of much merit, in which he gave the Pennsylvania Dutch dialect a place in American Literature. " 'S Alt Schul-haus an der Krick," and other poems of a similar character, will live as long as the patois of Berks and Lancaster, lingers upon the tongues of Pennsylvanians. At the time of his death, Dr. Harbaugh was a professor in the Reformed Theological Seminary at Mercersburg. His untimely death will be greatly regretted. WEEK OF PRAYER.— The "Week of Prayer" will be observed in this place, as follows: To commence on Monday evening, Jan. 6th, in the Court House; Tuesday evening following in the German Reformed Church; Wednesday evening in the Presbyterian Church; Thursday evening in the Methodist Episcopal Church, and Fri day evening in the Lutheran Chuch. The public is earnestly invited to at tend these services. OBITUARY NOTICES.— We desire to call the attention of clergymen, and others to our terms for the publica tion of lengthy obituary notices.

But when verses of poetry, or a disquisition on the virtues of the deceased, are added, we charge ten cents a line. THE SUXBURNER. —A new Kerosene lamp, called the "Sunburner," has been invented.

NEARLY READY. THE WAVERLY NOVELS. In the same cheap style. jan3ml "y 9~y MILES OF THE UNIONT PAnrprr; RAILROAD RUNNING WEST FROk &MAHA ACROSS THE CONTINENT, ARE NOW COMPLETED. This brings the line to the eastern base of the Rocky Mountains, and it is expected that the track will be laid thirty miles further, to Evans' Pass, the highest point on the road, by January. The maximum grade from the foot of the mountains to the summit is but eighty feet to the mile, while that of many eastern roads is over one hundied. "Work in the rock-cuttings on the western slope will continue through the winter, and th ere is now 110 reason to doubt that the entire grand line to the Pacific will be open for business in 1870. The means provided for the construction of this Great National Work are ample. The United States grants its Six Per Cent. Bonds at the rate of from $16,000 to $48,000 per mile, for which it takes a second lien as security, and receives payment to a large if not to the full extent of itsclaim in serv ices. These Bonds are issued as each twenty mile section is finished, and after it has been ex amined by United States Commissioners and pro nounced to be in all respects a first-class road, thoroughly supplied with depots, repair-shops, stations, and all necessary rolling stock and other equipments. The United States also makes a donation of 12,- 800 acres of laud to the mile, which will be a source of large revenue to the Company Much of this land in the Platte Valley is among the most fertile in the world, and other large portions are covered with heavy pine forests and abouna in coal of the best quality. The Company is also authorized to issue its own First Mortgage Bonds to an amount equal to the issue of the Government and no more. Hon. E. D. Morgan and Hon. Oakes Ames are Trustees for the Bondholders, and deliver the Bonds to the Company only as the work progresses, so tbat they always represent an actual and productive value. The authorized capital of the Company is One Hundred Million Dollars, of which over five mil lions have been paid in upon the work already dune. EARNINGS OF THE COMPANY. At present, the profits of the Company are de rived only from its local traffic, but this is already much more than sufficient to pay the interest on all the Bonds the Company can issue, if not an other mile were built. It is not doubted that when the road is completed the through traffic of the only line connecting the Atlantic and Pacific States will be large beyond precedent, and, as there will be no competition, it can always be done at profitable rates. It will be noticed that the Union Pacific Rail road is, in fact, a Government Work, built under the supervision of Government officers, and to a large extent with Government money, and that its bonds are issued under Government direction. It is believed that no similar security is so carefully guarded, and certainly no other is based upon a larger or more valuable property. As the Compa ny's FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS are offered for the present at 90 CENTS ON THE DOLLAR, they are the cheapest security in the market, being more than 15 per cent, lower than U. S. Stocks. They pay SIX PER CENT. IN GOLD, or over NINE FER CENT, upon tho investment.
