All the season tho same business activity prevailed to an extent that we have never seen rivsletHn other cities, but there was no sign or tok(n of Christmas in the air. Yesterday how changed the scene! In one short week, as if by magic, the great house presented an altered aspect, and on every tide of the counters exhibited articles of beauty as well as of use, chosen months ago at the sources of production in the old world, but only within a few days placed on sale. hile every thing appertaining to the usual stock of the house was still exhibited; yet the vast display of articles belonging especially to the domain of art and beauty made the scene one that could not fail to impress every ob server with the beauty and life of the Christ mas season . As well might a reporter attempt to catalogue one of our great libraries by simply spending an hour in inspection, or to give an index of the British Museum in a hasty newspaper arti cle, as to try to enumerate the mvrlads of beautiful things displayed. It is sufficient to say that any one who has not fixed upon a gift in some special line of business, as, for instance, books or jewelry, can hardly fail to find in this vast collection just what would he most accept able to the recipient. We have never in any season of the year, in pleasant weulher, happened in at Messrs. Slrawbridge & Clothier's establishment without being interested, but the spectacle pros'ented just now cannot, we believe, be seen elsewhere, and is one that must be in the highest degree interesting 'to every observer.

The sacredness f thecauie I.Dec. 17th, 1879, of this holiday, evidently by Us nearness, has this effect upon them.

U, B, Jackson returned from Washington last Friday. He brings with him Maj, Klotz's compliments to some of his (the Msj.'s) panic ular friends of Bloom. The warning sound nf the fire gong startled the cilizens once more last Thursday after' noon. Through the cartlessnexs of a workiuau a lighted lamp was upset on some shavings in the car shop, igniting Ihe dry material, The flames were smothered by the promptness of the workmen within ten minuteB and no damage was done. A sad accident occurred last Friday about a mile from town, resulting in the death ofa two year old daughter of Daniel Marlt. The servant girl left a bucket of hot water standing in the rooom In which Ihe child was playing and left Ihe room for a few minutes. On her return she found the little one had locked the door and was running up and down the room in apparent glee. In her romping she fell in the bucket of water and was 'to severely scalded that she did not live until morning. The stores all seem to have donned Ihe holi day attire, having their windows filled with showy articles tempting Ihe passer-by. That of Messrs, Bowman & Crispin presents a very business-like appearance. They know how to please.

The sleighing was not very cood, but what little there w, was taken advantage of. Rain ha since fallen and tbe snow, practically, It gone for tbe present. It "'would be a strange sight to see'tbe next Legislature exercise the extraordinary power 'of taking from tke people the right of choos ing the tbirty-fivo electors of President and Vice President, and confer It upon tbe Sen ate and Assembly that Is tn say, upon tbe Legislature itself. Though the Federal Constitution may authorize tbe deed, the people of New York would'stand amazed to witness Bucb a high handed proceeding. For fifty-seven years tbe drift of events in this State bas been toward an enlargment ofl RMcKlaneys the oowers of the people la the matter of House, the appointment of public officers of every kind and glade, from the highest to tbe lowest. Formerly the Governor and Lieu tenant Governor and State Senators were chosen only by freeholders,' while nobody could vote een In the election of the petti est officer without having paid a tax during tbe current year. There was a tribunal called tbe Council of Appointment, consist ing of the Governor and four State Senators selected by tbe vote of Assembly from the whole body of Senators, Tbe power of this Couocil extended to almost every office in the State. It appointed all the judicial offi cers, from the Chancellor down to Justices of tbe Peace. It appointed all of those usually called the State officers, such as the Comptroller and Attorney General, and also Sheriff, County Clerks, MasteA in Chan cery, Mayors of cities, Generals of tbe mili tia, and so on to tbe end. The Constitution of 1822 changed all this. It greatly enlarged tbe right of suffrage, and wholly abolished tbe freehold qualification of voters. It destroyed the Council or Ap pointment, and distributed its power in var ious quarters, conferring some upon the Governor and the whole Senate, some upon I the two branches of the Legislature, and I tome upon the people through tbe. ballot I will pay 5 cents per pound cash for 200 good veal calves that weigh from 125, 180, 140. 150, to 1C0. lbs. and upwards.
