They look at - their more fortunate broth ers with 'an awe - and wonder, rather than envy, as they might poor through the gates of heaven at the blessed with in; they, forever in the cold and, dark i. ness. Most of them, as their faces show; have but little knowledge or thought of God's world which we are wont to call good other than their own mischance the hunger and cold and disease gnaw ing at their meager lives night and day. Some of the baby feces are simply dull and tiretkothers,4tho begin , in the cra dle and make r s fight against death; are 'fierce and cunning. Presently they will all begin the desperate wrestle against fate and their richer brother which is the whole that life means to them: "Why should God have sent them into a world .from which they must wrench : their rights by force?" There is theliVargument; while we won der what has made them thieves and murderers, and, when they annok us. imprison them as the one or hang them as the other, Is the Gerinan legend indeed a fable? Will not the poor children meet us on Christmas Day in every street and alley with their pale faces and empty, joyless lives.? Will the Christ Child Nor be there to see and judge? Surely, if we could but see Him as lie stands among us at that day, It would be as when 'Once before ITo catue to his disciples and, 'taking a little child. set him in their midst," There Is not a single hungry, ragged child in Now-York who does not come to us with that divine mes sage, straight from Him, "What will you do {with this, my brother?" Now, before it is too late, is the time for Chris tian hands to be outstretched to them, to save both body and soul. Wo do not mean to urge any other argument.

Even that army of strollers which infest the coun try and people as a sort of visitation of Providence for our iniquities, from the street corner seller of prize candy or magic oil to the operatic impressario, will expect you to write an indefinite number of editorials on a three-square advertisement for five days, changeable daily without charge. We are required to write up. urge on and put through ev ery enterprise, great or small,that ROOMS to have a possible connection with the public. But we never hear of a share of stock or of a dividend. The church, the state, commerce,industry, art, invention and humbug alike seem to regard the press as their servitors, and to be run and sustaieed for their advantage. "There is a line of demarcation in all these things bet,w9en public demand, public utility, newspaper duty and indi vidual gain.

Not a letter, nor a space, nor a figure, nor a comma, nor a period—nothing of all the innumerable particles that enter iuto the form or structure of a •Icily or weekly newspaper—is there that its picking up and laying down does not. cost cash money. Not a revolution of the press, not a square inch of paper, that does not cost something in cash.— This should be understood by the pub lic. I fit is not, its correlative should be practiced by the press, Ido not mean that the press should abaudon its posi tion of being the foremost charitable in stitution in the world. it should hold to that, for its munificent liberality, af ter purging itself of nine-tenths of the daily swi diem practiced chit, will exceed that of any other business.

Quite a number of the citizens of that towuship.have, there fore made up their minds that that kind of sport, at, that place, must stop., About Ladle's and Bables.—Wo hearer a fellow who had onlY been ac quainted with a girl two nights when he attempted to kiss her at the gate.

Butler, who has been foreman of the Anous office for the past four years, leaves this week for his old homein Butler, to take the fore manship of the Eagle office iu that place. Major B. is a No. 1 printer, and while here, himself and lady, have endeared themselves to all who became acquaint ed with them. Our own immediate re lations with Mr. 8., have been profitable and pleasant. and iu bidding him good ly, we feel as if we were parting with a long-tried and faithful friend. We can only add that we trust the remaining years of himself and wife may be many, and that blessings unnumbered may at tend them in their declining days. Cold. Colder. Coldest.—lf any of , our citizens were not quite sure that the temperature was quite exhileratiug on last Sabbattrinorning v all they had to do was to take a look at their thermometer. We did that very thing, and found the mercury 10 degrees below zero. During the day it varied from that point to 10 degrees above zero. On Monday morning however, the weather modera ted, a little snow began to fall, and at present writing nearly ull horses not afflicted with epizootic, are tensing around In sleighs. A lady at Parker's Landing, last week, undertook to burry! op the fire fir her kitchen strobe by pouring some ker. or•ene oil into i it from a car. The fire started - off quite briskly at once. The cold snap of weather which set in on the Otteeeeding night determined a_great ma ny of her neighbors:rum attending her funeral the next day.

TheferA97. about 130 local teachers present, besides quite a number of other educators from abroad. Considering that the whole numbei of the teachers in the county Is about 170, this speaks well for the atten danct the Institute. The proceedings were Very interesting, throughout, and the general impression is that this was one of the most successful of the annual meetings the teacherif of the (..county ever held. During the day sessions. tho Court House was well filled, and at night there was a regular jam, standing room being hardly attainable. Prof. Al len ofTiogn county was present through out the week, and from his great ox per ience In teaching,was enabled to give the teachers and otherlipresent, many now ideas on the subject of education, and many of his suggestions will no doubt be put into practical operation by those In charge of our local schools. Address es were delivered during the week to the teachers, by Revs. D. P. Lowary, It. T. Taylor, S B Wilson esq., and others. On the whole, Prof. linight,the county Superintendent, may congratulate f . him self upon the success of this the first Institute, called and presitled over by himself. Small-1'o: fn Bridgesvateir.—We regret to state that three deaths occurred last week from small-pox lu our neigh boring village—Bridgewater.—The dis ease first made its appearance in the fam ily of a widow living at the lower end of the town. Two of her children aged re speetivilly about 6 and 10 years, died and were buried In the cemetery in Roches ter. . Subsequently It developed itself in two other families near Mta 'Warren's, one of whom was also a widow, she los iog a child, which was buried at niait in Beaver. The others who were attacked with the malady, are not dangerously ill, and it is presumed they will recover. The families here referod were all very poor, and one of them at legal, was about being cared tor—by the county when the terrible disease, broke out among its members. Some little excitement among the citizens occurred relative to the bur ial of the Warner children in Rochester cemetery; *at as the statements are con flicting, and the blame for the delay of their burial so readily shifted from one shoulder to imotin-r,'We decline to pub- Bab any rumors wo hear touching the case. All parties bear willing testimony to tho conduct and efficiency of Mr, Nazro Park, who took charge of the corpses, abovo mentioned, and saw that they were given decent burial.

"There is Batty a Slip Betwixt the Cap and: Lip."—Oar readers will recollect that about three years ago, we published an account of the death of n Mr Sullivan of St. Louts, who died childless and quite wealthy. , Subse quently it appeared that the step-child ren of Mr. James MeElDaff of Brighton township were distantly related to tht+ deceased, and it was believed that a por tion °this estate rightfully belonged t to them. Confident that this was so, the children here referred to selected M. Darragh esq. as their guardian, who pro ceeded to St. Lents, met the other sup posed heirs, established as be believed, the heirship of his own wards, and ob• tbith. ram gyps venially, It was not known that 410Sinn had any 'other, Mathes than those tintong whom the'estate WS* dls. tritnibid in St. Louis.

By ordbr of Ch. of Er-Committee J H DE.4KER, 8. N. Pinchbeck, the present Governor of Louisiana, and who will probably bee United States Senator from that State, is a light, saffron colored ne gro, of good personal appearance. He was raised in Georgia, and is the son of Major Win. Pinchbeck, a once wealthy planter. "Pinch," as he is more fre quently called by the unterrified of the Crescent City, was born in 1837 or 1838. Being a really handsome child, ho was much liked by his father, who, before dying, in 1348, provided that, his pet and slave mother and her other children, should be sent to Cincinnati, where for about a year they lived in comfortable circumstances, Pinch , going to a public school, where he received the rudiments of a very fair education. But his moth er's slender means gradually became ex hausted, and her son vies compelled to seek employment— Like hundreds of other young colored boys, be went a stetunboating, and for some years ran on the Ohio, making fiequent trips to New Orleans. Being a bright, active youth, he anon became a favorite with travelers. This was in the days when a rattling game of cards was played on al most all the river boats, and no one took more interest in them than did the fh ture politician. Public Leasure—The Woman Question in a New Light.—Prof. Leo Miller of New York, will deliver a lecture in the Court House in Beaver, on Friday, evening, January 10th, 1873, at 71 p. m.

The Court House should, and we have no doubt will be tilled on the occasion. All the term utensils. horses, cattle and household goods belonging to the Gree ley family, at Chappaqiia, were sold at auction on Saturday.

The grain went off at low fates also. It is stated that the farm will be cultivated next year by the young ladies, probably on shares with some manager. This winter Miss Ida Greeley will make her home at the rtsidence of her aunt, Mrs. John F. Cleveland, No. 12 Cottage place, and Miss Gabrielle will finish her education at the institution which she is attending.
