CHRISTMAS.
"Merry Christmas'" will again be
here iu a few days, to spread light and
joy into every household. It is the old,
old story, ever new at each returning
year. Christmas is the time—the day
above all others, that should call forth
our deepest gratitude to our Heavenly
Father, for the unspeakable gift of llis
only Son, our beloved Saviour. This
is the true significance of Christmas.
It is the anniversary of the Redeemer's
birth who came not only to bring peace
on earth but also good icill toward men.
Tnis grand and fundamental idea
should underlie all others in the proper
celebration of the blessed day, whether
in the public congregation, in the Sab
bath school, or iu the home circle.
4 'For unto you is born this day in the
City of David, a Saviour, which is
Carist the Lord."
Nor must the day be spent exclu
sively in religious services. It should
be a day of good cbeei and happiness
in every home. True kindness, genu
ine goodness of heart will at this time
manifest itself between the members of
a family in the time honored and beau
tiful custom of making presents.
These should be freely but judiciously
bestowed. The proper factors that cu
ter into the selection of Christmas
presents for our friends are—age, rela
tion, conditions and necessities.
Nor should our benevolent feelings
confine themselves to our own families.
Truo gratitude to God should cause us
to seek out the sick ones in the commu
nity and minister to their wants. How
much good cau be done iu this quiet
way is only known to those who often
go on such errands of mercy.
As the benign principles of our holy
religion develope, expand, advance, so
will these practical fruits lucrease and
multiply. The world will yet learn to
know that the whole human family is
is one vast, common brotherhood, hav
ing one common Father over all, and
one common Saviour who loves and
died for all.
The Governor Ask 3 for Information.
nAKRisBURG, December 13—Tlie
Governer addressed a letter to-night to
the Auditor General .asking for a detail
ed statement of the disbursraent of the
contigent fund of the two houses of
the Legislature during the extra session.
The object is not stated, but there are
rumors of crookedness.
TnE Philadelphia Times furnishes
the following complete list of represen
tatives who took full pay for their time
spent at Harrisburg, mileage, recess
and all. Just why a list of senators

not appear :

es .—Times,
Congress lias done but little so far
and it is not likely that any real work
will be done before the holidays. Mr.
Carlisle has not yet formed his commit
tees, but is making haste slowly, which
shows that he exercises good judgment
in the performance of his high trust.
A large number of bills will be intro
duced by the time the committees are
ready to go to work. There will l>e no
end of projects to spend the large surplus
now in the Treasury; thine is an itch
ing palm to get at it. Congress will
have plenty of necessary work to do
outside of wild projects. A proper law
is needed to provide for the the Presi
dential succession; to revive our navy;
rehabilitate our commercial shipping;
a,law to redeem and ret i' 3 tlie trade
dollar; a'new bankrupt law, and other
measures of equal importance. If Con
gress attend to the important matters
the country needs, it will have no leis
ure for tomfoolery of any kind, nor will
any one have an opportunity to disturb
the business interests of the country.
The next Electoral Vote.
Tho following is tlie number of votes
that each State will cast in the next
Electoral College, with the States di
vided politically as they voted at the
last election :
DEMOCRATIC. J RErVOMCAN.
Alabama ]0 Colorado 3
Avkuusaw 7 Comn'cticut 9
California 8 Illinois
Delaware 3 lowa 13
Florida 4 Kansas 9
Georgia 12 Maine t>
Indiana la Massachusetts II
Kentucky 13 Michigan 13
i.oustaua 8 Minnesota <
Man land 8 Nebraska ;>

New York .">•'> Vermont 4
North Carolina 11 11
Ohio 23 t , f-
South Carolina 9 Total I>l
Tennessee 12
Texas 13
Virginia 12
West Virginia 6
Total... 247 j
The total electorial Vote is 401, of
which 201 are necessary to elect. Class
ing tho States as they voted at tlie
last election, the Democrats have
247 and the Republicans 154, but the
majority would be reversed to 213 Re
publican and 18S Democratic l> taking
the fairly debatable States of New
York aud Ohio out of the Democratic
column.
It is evident now that Ohio and New
York will be the centres of tlie great
contest of next year. The Republicans
must carry both of these to win, as the
Democrats* if holding their other
States, could spare either Ohio or New
York and elect their Peesideut. Ohio
is naturally a Republican State with
the party united, and New York is
as naturally a Democratic State with
the Democracy harmonious. Ohio is
the only State that holds a preliminary
election in October, ar.d as the Repub
licans must carry it in October to have
a fighting chance for the Presidency,
that battle will doubtless be one of the
most desperate of modern times.
The two parties aro now facing each
other for the great conflict, with nearly
even chances of success. They are
both on trial, the Republicans with
the President and the Senate and the
Democrats with the House, and tlie
party that serves the country best will
best serve itself ia the election of the
next President.— Phila. IHmes.
A TOWN AND ITS NEWSPAPER.—
The relation of a town to its newspa
per has been very aptly compared to a
book ami its index, and vice versa.
The index points out what is in the
book and where any particular subject
or matter may be found. It is indis
pensable to.the proper and convenient
use of the book. So with the newspa
per. It is the true, legitimate index to
the town—to its business, social and
religious life.
It is very evident, then, that a paper
if conducted on fair,equitable principles
should enjoy the confidence and hearty
support of the community. Every citi
zen should take his local paper. It
should be a welcome visitor in every
family. The editor may not belong to
your party—he may differ in many
things with you, but what of that? An
intelligent liberal man will not bt influ
enced in business matters by any such
contracted considerations.
Every business enterprise that is at
all worth advertising should find a place
in the paper, even if only a simple card.
This js a square business matter, ar d
should not be viewed as a question of
charity to the printers. That persist
ent, judicious advertising pays well is
known to those who have tried it.
We have labored early and late, in
season and out of season, to make the
Journal a live readable family payer, as
well as a popular advertising medium
for this growing part of thy county.
With increased facilities we expect to
devote increased labor to the columns
of the JOURNAL, and look to a gener
ous public for a liberal patronage.
The National Republican conven
tion will meet at Chicago June 3rd.
Colonel Quay says that this means
Arthur for tlie presidency. June 3. was
settled as the date,and Don Cameron is
credited witli this suggestion. Senator
Frye's proposition to change the repre
sentation was voted down, which is
also a victory for President Arthur.
Tlie readjusters from Virginia will be
recognized and admitted to the nation
al convontion,
August Strauss and Henry Shaffer,
the Clinton county horse thieves, who
were arrested by Detective Abe Roat,
were tried at Lock Haven 011 Tuesday
and convicted. Strauss received four
years and a half and Shaffer five years
and a half.
Miscellaneous.
The Wilkes-Barro llcconl is respons
able for Ihe following lish story. It is
told for a fact that a citizen of this
town who owns land that was ovcr
tlowed by the waters of the Susquehan
nah in the spring, has made a bill a
gainst the state for the damage which
black bass and u hite perch have done by
eating the roots of the grass.
A Lady Swindler Arrested.
Little Kva Brit lon, a delicate creat
ure, remarkable for her insouciance
and dirty linger nails, who has been go
ing about the country for several yeais
solicliug subscribers for a monthly pa
pcr called the lfarriei m•, published at
Charleston, S. C. has finally involved
herself iu a tem|H'st. She has been ar
rested in New Orleans as a swindler.
She has obtained m the Union 30,000
subscribers, at fifty cents each, for a
paper that has nonexistence.
A great many people, men and wom
en, think it unnecessary to be polite at
home. When among strangers, or out
Visiting, they are the pink of perfection
in these respects, but short, crisp words
and cross looks they keep in reserve for
the home folks. This neglect of kindly
consideration towards the members of
one'sown household is one of the main
causes leading to dissevered hearts,jar
ring contentions and unhappy homes.
Politeness in the family circle will
keep securely there, also, harmony and
love.
Twenty-Three Days Under a Hay
stack.
LA CROSSE, Wis,December 10.— Some
boys playing about ah lystack near this
city to-day found under it a man in a
horrible condition of emaciation. Help
was secured and lha poor wretch ex
tricated. lie was almost dead and was
barely able to speak in a whisper, lie
said his name was Christian Anderson;
that ho crawled under the haystack on
the night of November 17th to keep
warm and that the stack caved in upon
him. He struggled hard,hut was unable
to extract himself. He cried out,but no
one heard him. lie was sent to the
County Hospital, apparently in a dying
condition. He was so weak that lie
could give only disjointed fragments of
his horrible story. It is stated that
several loads of hay have lately been re
moved from the stack which buried
him, but he was probably too weak to
make the teamsters hear him or was
unconscious at such times.
What tho Sfcato Grangers Want.
HARRISBURG, December 13— The reso
lutions adopted by the State Grange to
day demand that technical instruction
in agriculture be included among the
common school studies and that the
State College be restored to the design
of its originators; they declare against
discriminations by railroad companies,
denounce the Legislature for its failure
to apportion the State, favor the equal
ization of taxes and ask Congress to en
courage the cultivation of sugar.
More Light.
A new and brilliant electric head
ight for locomotives is being quietly
perfected by a modest inventor of In
dianapolis, who does not care to have
his name made known until a public
exhibition has placed it beyond the pos
sibility of tailure. The light will equal
the light of 4,000 candles. At present
light is the best that
can be produced. It will light the
track for a mile, brilliantly, and the
light will be full and continuous. The
generator or dynamo will be run by
steam at the will of the engineer. It
will be located opposite the air brake
and will not take up as much room.
By the same machine, depots, bridges,
crossings and tunnels will be lighted.
Extending along th. track for a half
mile in both directions will be an elect
ric wire connected with the lamps in
tunnels and bridges; then extending
downward from the dyamo on the en
gine, the brush will be arranged to
touch the'wire as soon as it is reached.
This will light up the object ahead,and
as soon as the brush leaves the wire on
the other side the light goes out. A
public exhibition will be given soon.
