WOULD'NT REJOICE.—' The grand
jollification that was to come off in tliis
place Just week, because of Grant's elec
tion, was the most complete failure
we have ever witnessed. The boys
who watched all night to see tbe hea
ven- illuminated by the meteors the
night offer the phenomena really did
take place, were equally gratified with
those of our citizens who expected to
see our streets dazzle with the torches
of the admirers of the successful "no
policy" candidate. The torches were
not brought forth tor the people did
not come out to carry them. The h,,u
--s s were not illuminated for gold had
gone up, and the sperm candle market
was unsteady. The meeting was slim
for the people remained at home con
juring what to do with the elephant
they had won at the late raffle. Why
don't the people rejoice? Let us see.
The farmer cannot male merry over
toe heavy decline in wheat and every
thing he produces ; the laboring man
does not feel glad in the prospect of a
reduction in the price of labor, and the
moneyed man trembles at tbe unset
tled condition oftheeouutry and theun
misfakable symptoms of a near ap
proaching financial crash. Could you
expect the people to rejoice, to "eat,
drink and be merry," with such a pros
pect before themlt is hardly to be
expected. They see the predicament
they have voted the.u-*ives into
ami would gladly reverse it if they
could. They sec heavy breakers ahead,
and when the old ship is driven among
tin in, and our radical friends rai-e the
cry of distrc—, then, "Let us have
peace!"
THE WEATH K. —For several days
we have had winter \vi;h all itsstcrn re
ality. Wecould exclaim in the language
of the song, "It snows! it snows! from
out the sky, The little feathered fiakis
do fly," a- these sure premonitory
synitoms of the iu ar approach of w in
ter wire fanta-ticady dancing through
tiie air. Alter an absence of a few
day- old So! again made his apj ear
am e and -<on changed Hie -Lett of
snow witli wLiili Hit earth had bet n
covered, into water which in turn cre
ated mud, niak.ng | edi-iriani-ni any
thin ' hut plea-ant. Out door life in d
no charms, ai d warm stoves were in
great demand,and when found,exten
sively patronized. Auexchaiigediscour
-es Uiii- on the weather;—
Winter has come. A leaden sky
frowns upon humanity; the frost-king
ki-.-es us with liisstiugiug lips, ami the
air i- redolent of dancing siiow -flakt s.
Balmy Indian summer gave us a last
visit on Thursday, arousing choice
memories, and draping material exis
tence in a halo of poetic impulses. Yes
terday was one to arouse tlie keenest
appreciation of the robust northern el
ement of our population, at d carry
gloom and discomfort to those from a
southern clime. The charms of nature
arc for the season wrapped in their
winding sheet ; the -ail on tiie lake a
rouse sympathy, instead of evoking ad
miration, and the prairie stands lorth
the embodiment of desolation.
The charms of the winter season, in
our northern latitudes, will speedily
manifest themselves. Our out door
enjoyments are doubly productive of
lea th and bappim .-s; (amities long
separated gather iii-ide 'he old home
stead. and their members inspire* each
other with new life, while the cold
months cover the yearly era of marry
ing and giving in marriage. Thus do
all the seasons give us their comple
n ent i fjoy with their chalice* f gloom;
tans dot- a merciful I'rovidence pre
serve the equilibrium bctwien feeble
humanity and unyielding nature.
DISPLAY OF METEORS.—SEEMINGLY
in compensation for the disappoint
ment of November two year- ago, win n
all America sat up all night, and in
nu ny cases twoorthiee nights, in hope
of seeing a display of meteors, we
Wt re favored on tlie night of the 15th
and morning of the 14th inst., with a
shower of stars far exceeding the expec
tations of the astronomers. The 14th
of every November is distinguished by
a greater number of these visitors than
any other day in the year, but the
seasons of most numerous meteors seem
to return at intervals of s,bout 44 year-.
Counting from ls'44, celebrated for it
meteoric show* r, it was predicted that
a similar one ought to return in lstiii,
which it did, but iti tin* day-time; it
was seen however, in Europe, where
of course the sun hud set some hour
earlier titan hero. During the display
week before last, two observers coun
ted 13U0 between 11 and 3.40 and with
more care might have doubled the
number. What the number might have
beeu through good telescopes with sev
eral observers it is impossible to say.
Some of the meteors w ere very bna*
tifuf, being of different colors and leav
ing long trains of light behind them.
< Lie let'i a lurid cloud banging in tbe
sky for over two hours. With very few
exceptions, the meteors came from one
point in the heavens, the Sickle in the
constellation Leo. The iength of their
pa. lisa- visible here varied very much.
Many would appear like stars, move
about half a degree and Ire seen no
more, while a few would stait from
Leo just over the top of the Cove Moun
tain, and sweeping aero-s the heavens
with a swift- but even motion, sink be
hind Will's Mountain leaving a train
to mark their path to those who were
not fortunate enough to ee the meteors
t hem-elves.
Bi uxs.—An exchange says "that
nothing on the face of the earth equals
cool water as a remedy for Burns."
The burned portion should be .-oaked
several hours in water. Persona who-e
hat.ds have been severely burned have
experienced-uch a relief by placing
the n in a basin of water at the bid-ie
tl at ti cy could sleep comfortable all
the ntglu, arid wake to find themselvt*
almo-t <is well as ever. The remedy i e
very s.mpieaud easily tried.

ing eases were disposed of in the Quar

THE FASHIONS.— It is truly wonder
ful to note the changes that the fash
ions take. To-day they run into one
extreme, to-morrow into another.—
Gentlemen take the east off' -tyle- ol
the ladies, white tlie ladies assume
those of the gentlemen. Men wear
caps, cloaks, capes, shawls and other
apparel which formerly were only
worn by women, and the latter in turn
wear hats, boots, coats and even, in the
Case of a hen-pecked husband, wear
the very "breeches" that belong to the
"lord of the household." in the ne
for new innovations in style and fash
ion the fair sex bid fair to far outstrip
us. and it seems as if we had to assume
the offensive if we wish to retain any
o! our rights in the matter of wearing
apparal.
A young man, laboring over the
gradual encroachments of woman-kind
on ma-culine territory in the matter
of dress, breaks into song as follows :
'■They took our coats, at first we hirlly missed
theur;
Ami iben they sped our dickeys n i env c- ;
Titcy stole our sacks—we only laughe 1 and k i.-.-'d
them;
Emboldened then they stole onr very hats,
L mil. by slow and sure degrees, tbe wuclies
ii iVe taken all—our coats, hats, boois and
breeches.
Happily, the "Grecian bend" has
wmie to our relief.
To YOUNG MEN.— Don't rely upon
your friends. Don't rely upon tin*
name of your ancestors. Tnousands
have spent the prime of life in a vain
dependence upon those whom they
culled their friends, and thousands
have starved because they had a rich
father. Rely upon a good name which
is made by your own exertions, and
know that better than the best friend
you can have is unquestionable deter
mination, united with decision of char
acter.
STARTLING. —Both continents of this
planet are to be submerged, according
to the prophecies of a German philoso
pher, in about 5,000,000 years. Our
subscribers need not be deterred
from renewing their subscriptions
in view of the verification of this
prophecy, provided Hiey do not pay
for a longer term than these figures in
dicate. it would be well to watch this
modern Jeremiah, and if at the end
oi this period his prophecies prove false
send us word and we will expose him
—if we happen to be running Hie GA
ZETTE.
WHY HE DIDN'T.— "Why don't you
trade with me?" said a close-fisted
tradesman to a friend, the other day.
The reply uas very characteristic:
"You have never asked me, sir. I
have looked all through the GAZETTE
for an invitation in the shape of an ad
vertisement and found none. I never
go where I am not invited."
FESTIVAL. —TheLittle Gir!-' Aid S
ociety of the Episcopal Churcii will hold
a festival for the benefit of said church,
on Thanksgiving evening, (Thursday)
in the Grand Jury room. The pub
lic are respectfully invited to attend
and contribute to the cause in which
these young ladies are engaged.
STILL IMPROVING.— "Mine Host '
of the Bedford Hotel is still improving
his well known public house. The
long porch in front has been torn down
to make way for an iron verati lab.—
G.ir neighbor deserves great credit for
his >piril of improvement.
A western editor thinks if the pro
per way of spelling tlio i-> "lliotiyh,"
and bo "beaux," the proper way of
spelling potatoes must be "poughteigh
txux." 'i'Jie new way of sj>ellH)g soft

J Term. Young ladies, representing
nearly one-third of the States in the
Union, are present, and the boarding
department iss j full that there are but
four vacancies. The buildings are
thorough! v furnished and fitted up in
good style. Every department is sup
plied with able and accomplished

"ONE OF THE HOYS."—A youngster
came home after having a glorious
iine io tbe puddles, his face all aglow,
and his rubber boots full of water. —
The puni-hinent of -laying in the
hoc. -e for the remainder of the day did
not -com very hard at first ; but as his
little heart warmed up with the recol
| lection of the triumphs of the morning
when he had waded deeper than any of
his playmates dared to, he could hear
the restraint no longer, and went to his
mother, saying, "Please, mother,
whip me, and let me go out again."
REGISTERED LETTERS.— Under the
new system, which went into effect
June Ist, registered letters are a very
safe means of sending small sums of
money where post-office money or
ders cannot easily be obtained.—
The registry fee, as well as pos
tage, must he paid in stamps at the of
fice where the letter is mailed, or it will
be liable to be sent to the dead letter
office. Buy and affix the stamps, both
for the postage and registry, put in the
money and seal the letter in the j.■ res
en ee of the postmaster.
CAUSAYA BARK.— It is said tha.
Mts-srs Diake & Co., (proprietors of the
Plantation Bitters) are the largest iat
portersot Calisaya Bark in this coun
try, to I that, with the exception of an
or.i- o: a! sale, all they import ii used

Plantation Bitters,—to which they un
doabtedly are indebted for their won
derful health-restoring properties. As
a Tun c and Appetizer they are notsur

them. All first-cla-s Druggists keep
them for sale.
MAGNOLIA WATER.— Superior to the
best imported German Cologne, and
sold at half the price.

The Chinese Government having (through the

ports of the Empire by submarine electric tele

in China, and laying down a line of nine hundred

Shanghai 1.000.009
Total 5 910,000
These ports have a foreign commerce of 5900.-
000,000. and an enormous d rr.estic trade, beside'
which we have the immense internal commerce o.'
the Empire, radiating from these points, through
its canals arid navigable rivers.
The cable being laid, this company proposes
erecting land lines, and establishing a speedy and
trustworthy means of communication, which must
command there, as everywhere else, the commu
nications of ihe Government, of business. ar.J oi

system, and her only moans now of communicating
information is by couriers on land, and by e'earo

large country, in the main densely peopled; but
few yet realize that she contains more than n third
