Christmas
Christmas is here! fhe eighteen
hundred nd seventy fourth anniversa
ry of the birth of Christ, in Bethlehem
of Judoa. The Star is not now in the
Heavens a? it appeared unto the Wise
Men of the Hast to point u unto Hint,
hut we have since what is tar more
brilliant and illustrious in the real
Heaven to guide us unto Him uud
unto* everlasting blesseduesa— the
child Jesus is there—the brightest of
all stars, to point us the way, and to
welcome us home. That star shines
not only to light up the pathway ot
those "in the East, ' hut itsbiue for us
hero at Centre Hall and for all the
fifteen hundred milliou of human be
ings who now tread the earth and for
those unborn generations who shall
walk this globe hhen we have become
"Just unto dust. There is joy ami
happiness iu the idea when properly
eontemplated.
As the old year closes its three hun
dred and sixty-fitlh day, to be num
bered with the unreeallable past, how
happy the divine dispensation that it
-hould not close-in gloom and w:lh sor
rowingtones at its approaching eud. but
lhat the occasion should be one of
pure joy aud happiness ibr the incom
ing of the Savior with the dying if
the year. If there is one period w hen
mankind should feel buoyant iu spirit,
happy and cheerful, it is at the year's
dviug end, when the Savior was born,
Satan conquered and the] reign of
Christ's kingdom ou earth was com
menced. A most precious gift was
then given us to make us happy, here
and iu the hereafter, if we accept it.
l<et Christmas then ever be cele
brated—let it always be a joyous oc
casion—the greatest of all holidays —
let us bo merry aud glad and rejoice
iu a becomiug manner and celebrate
the great event, in remembrance of
that greatest of events which brought
unto us glad tidings—a treasure more
valuable than gold and precious
-tones. Do you cast your eye over
the past year and fret over bluuders,
and mistakes, and losses in money or
property —ah, these are :dl vanity,
sailh the great Psalmist, and are as
nothing compared with what was
vouchsafed unto you by the coming of
the Savior. Then begone your gloom,
your sadness, and remember the great
estate beyond, far surpassing all the
carta's riches, and of which you are
invited to become an heir ! ftejoice
then over the gains you have within
your reach—be glad that the Cross
secared you eternal bliss.
Christmas is here. Let there b
joy among us. Throw off the "sackcloth
and a.-hes" aud be merry. "1 bring
you joy"—remember the inspired
words. "The greatest proclamation of
,: gla l tidings" was made in Bethle
hem of Judea on this day. No presi
dent, no king, no emperor, no pope,
can give so great a gift, so precious a
holiday, as Christ aud Christmas.
A merry Christmas, then to all.
Let the New Year be ushered iu find
ing us all happier beings, impressed
with the great events for which we
celebrate Christn^*.
A caucus of radical senators met
at Washington, on 19th, aud agreed
upon a financial bill. According to
the best attainable information it pro
vides for the resumption of specie
paymeut on January 1, 1879, for free
hanking, and for the retiring of green*
backs to the extent of 80 per cent, of
the amount of the New National
Bank notes issued, and also requires
the forty*six millions of fractional cur
rency to be gradually withdrawn and
silver coin iu denominations of from
five to fifty cents issued in its place.
'1 ho Secretary of the Treaaury is au*
thorized to use the surplus coin in the
Treasury on and after the day fixed
for resumption to redeem the legal
tenders and, if necessary, to sell bonds
for the same purpose if the amount of
specie is not sufficient.
A Granddaddy Claim.
A Washington dispatch of 19th,;
says that a claim of the war of 1811!'
for rations furnished to the "North-'
western Army" by John H. Piatt (an
uncle of Dou Piatt), of Cincinnati, is
about to come before the United
•States Supreme Court, on appeal from
the Court of Claims, the latter Court
having found that there is due admin
istratrix a balance of 9131,000, but
that the action to recover is; barred
by a private act for the relief of Piatt
passed rMay 8, 1830, which, it is said,
was intended to be a final settlement
of the claim. It appears that the
Government was unable to meet its
obligations on Piatt's contract during
the war, and that Mr. Monroe, alter,
wards President, then Secretary of
Mar, entered into a parole agreement
with Piatt logo ou with the delivery
of rations, and pledged the good fait h
of the Government for the fulfilment
of his assurances that full componsu*
lion should be made at some future
day when funds could be raised. At
the end of the war the accounting of- '
licers knew nothing of* the arrange- 1
mentmadeby the Secretary of War
and would not undertake a settlement,
and Piatt and his representative have
been since engaged in the effort to get |
one. Piatt died in .the jail limits in i
Washington, where his debts had j
thrown him while prosecuting his l
claim. j

special ti> the world
Ihe report of the t-jiecial CVtututs*
atoner* ou the atlairs of the defuuet
Fiiediuan's Savings Hank presents
such a glaring record of plunder and
corruption as to excite alarm among
the Republicans here who have laths
end the institution in and out ofCoti
gress. Iu a word, the poor white aud
cob red people of this l>itrict and the
South have beeu simply robbed 'of
huudreds o! thousands oi dollars ot
tiirir aggregated savings. In the inure
detailed statements submitted to Con
gress to day it appears that the head
institution here has been plundered
by loans made ou most worthless col
laterals, including such concerns as
the bankrupt Seneca Stoue Company.
There was some talk to day among
liepublicau members, who fear the
political effect iu the Soutn of the fail
ure ot this bank, of urgiug an appro
priation by Congress to pay the depos
itors, but it is uot likely that any
thing of the kind could be passed.
•v'Uthern members say that whenever
the negroes have got a full knowledge
i of how they have been cheated alnu -t
, the entire negro vote of the localities
will go over to the opposition. The
documents presented to the House to
day prove the Freedroan's Hank to
have beeu the colossal fraud of the pe
riod. The tables of as>ets presented
are replete with the roost astonishing
items, showing that the l'uuds a; the
poor freed me 11 have teen worse than
thrown to the winds. An instance of
what was done here iu the District
was the loaning of $219,000 to J. B*
\V. Yauderburg, of which he still owes
$160,088. The ring manipulator, and
contractors seem to have had free run
of the bank and familiar names ap
pear on every page—such as A. B.
Mullet, Treasurer |of the Morris Mi
ning Company, of Colorado, who ob
tained 81,400 on 100 sbarss of .lock.
The branches were mauaged in a
manner which shows the whole insti
tution to be utterly irresponsible. At
( Vicksburg there was an agent, named
E. Beecher, who loaned cut $17,000.
and took no ycurity worth namiug.
lu February, 1872, F..A. Dock ray,
since known as a defaulting Florida
official, now in Spain as a prisoner,
obtained $0,514,88 on SIO,OOO of
Memphis and El Paso Railroad stock
at the Jacksonville, Fla., brunch.
Tne wretched condition of the batik is
shown by the naming it the list of as
sets of $137,238.71 accrued iuterest on
loans. The full report will make a
curious chapter in the history of fraud.
An amendmedmcut was offered in
' the I*. 8. Senate on 15, as follows:
. In the Senate Mr Wright submitted
an amendment to the constitution pro
viding fur tho election of President by
: a direct vote of the people, the Presi
dent to serve six years and be ineligi
ble for a secoud term. If no candi
date has a majority of ull the votes
cast a secoud election shall be order
ed, but only the two candidates receiv
ing the highest number of votes shall
be voted for on the second day of
election ; the returns to be canvassed
by the supreme court.
On the same day the committee on
the civil rights bill, reported iu sub
stance as follows:
The subjudiciary committee, con
sisling of Messrs. Butler, Poland and
\\ liite, reported to the full committee
j to day in favor of amending the civil
j rights bill so as to omit the "mixed
schools' provision, and require mere
ly that equally good educational facil
ities shall be provided for both races.
The sub-committee also recommended
that the penelty of S'iOO fine imposed
by ilie bill for violation of any of its
provisions be omitted, leaving the pe
cuniary punishment of offenders to
consist in their liability to be mulcted
in 8500 damages at the suit of any
individual who is denied equality of
accommodation, etc. There was a gen
eral discussion of the subject, but no
definite action taken, there being a
wide differeuce of views.

Shortly after 2 o'clock yesterday
morning Mr. Van Bruut, who had
been unwell for the pa>t ten day-', was
startles! at hearing the sounding of the
burglar-alarm, lie, to allay hi- iter-
I vousuess, called to hii daughter, who
slept iu the next room, and request
ed her to tell his oti Albert to come
to him. On Albert's arrival his fath
er told him what he had heard, but at
that time, not thiukiog there was any
particular cause for alarm, requested
him to go over to the house and acer
lain if anv one had effected an en
trance into ft. Voting Van Brunt
called up Scott, and cautiously n ;a
--; menced a search over the hottse, hut
! no trace of any burglar could he di-
I covered, and on his returning, atten
tion was drawn to the unoccupied
house of tiie Judge. Shading the
light of the lamp, the father and - n
j cautiously looked through the window
blinds at the unoccupied bou-e, and
, there they aw distinctly a feeble light
] dickering through one of the rooms of
I the Judge's uJdence and two men
l moving about There wa b„t little
time for action, a* it was plain bur
j glars had effected an entrance for the
f purpose of ransacking the house. The
j men in Holmes Van Brunt's were
quickly but quietly gathered together,
all being well-armed with guns and
J revolvers in caw of ai y acrious con
diet taking place between them ami
the burglars. The elder Van Brunt
j said he was determined not to let the
| men escape if possible, and called
, upon his son and the two farm assist
ants to folbs him and act under his
! instructions. Having left their own
house thus armed they surrounded the
house of the Judge, Albert Van Brunt
, and Scott keeping guard in the front
of the house, ami his father and Her
man Frauk stationing themselves at
rear of the house, about fifteen paces
from the celler door, where they sup
|>osed the person or persons inside of
the house had entered. They waited
. thus for about half an hour, when Mr.
Holuies Yau Brunt, bccotnfug tired
|of the delay, told Ftank to make
| somo aieiru which would signify to
I those inside that they weie matched,
Frank accordingly advanced to the'
; back door and rattled the knob. The
noise produced the desired effect. The
I lights were immediately extinguished,
j and the house was wrapped in dark-
„ new. A moment after the watchers j
at the hack of the house perceived!
that the celler door raised slightly.
' and caught a glimpse of two heads
i. cautiously emerging. The burgiars
v evidently were well satisfied that they
had some unknown friends to deal
with, and nothing daunted prepared
themselves quickly for an affray. Then
• they started for the trap of the celler
s for the purposo of heating a retreat,
. but the watchers, who had been able
to understand their movcrneuts
through the inside light, had posted
themselves at the entrance of the eel
i lar. "Stand" shouted Mr. Van Brunt,
j Iwo pistol shots instantly answered
the summons. The burglars had pre
pared themselves for attack. Fortu
' nately neither shot took effect. Mr.
• Van Bruut's weapon spoke and one of
the men received the charge of shot iu
, his body. lie gave a cry of pain and
I grnspetf the cellar door for support.
11 h companion started on a run to
wards the gate. He was called upon
to stand. His reply was another pis*
tol shot. Mr. Van Brunt and Scott
sent the contents of their weapons in
his retreating direction. Meanwhile
the man who had been shot first had
managed to get away from the collar
and run. The second man had reach
ed the gate when he encountered A I-;
bert Van Brunt, who called out tol
him to "-•land." The burglar fired '
once at his intercepted For the'
third time his ball missed. He was
about to fire again, when the youug
man raised his gun and brought the (
stock of it down on his levelled arm. i
The blow was struck with such force i
that the stwk of the barrel was bro- i
ken, aud the man writhed in terrible 1
pain. With an oath he turned quick- ]
ly upon young Vnu Brunt, as if tocu- ]
gage in a hand-nud hand contest, but i
Van Brunt instantly drew his revol- |
wer and discharged (wo successive
shots in the breast and lower part of j
the body of the man. With wonder* „
fill pluck he still endeavoypd to main- j
tain the fight, and exclaimed, "You a

in a very short time Captain Ir

hy t'oi.stable Holland, of Bav Ki.lge
who had taken charge of them until
the Coroni r should iwue hia instructs
ioiu. Sellick at once identified the
men a? being well known thieve*, and
said that he had been on the look-out
for Mosher u long time past in cou
ncitiou with the Charlie Ross alxluc
ti n. It was known that one of.Mosh
er stinger had been injured during a
previous burglary and that he had a
well-kuown mark immediately under
the uostrii -t hu !)o*e. 1 hfse murks
were found upon the body of Moaher
and identified by the detective. SH!-
leek seemed much chagrined nt the
death of the man who ia supposed to
he the real abductor of young Kof*.
;or at least one of the principals.
Dougia* i-> aho y,c!! known to tho
officer*, having been engaged for
years past in various burglaries in
i this city and other places-
While the bodies were lying out
side of the house of Mr. Van Brunt
they were looked at by a colored
nuiM. in flip employ of Judge
Church, of Bay Ridge. Hero an ex
traordinary statement was made bv
the woman. She said : "Last Julv aii
' attempt wits made to carrv off the son
of my master, Mr. Church, who was
about six years old. The child had
been playing about the grata, and
I when i went to look for hiai ( found
he could uot he sceu. I heard that he
was walking on the road with a strange
mau, and I went out to see who it wits,
thinking it was some neighbor who
knew the child. 1 found he was in
; company of a strange uran, aud I im
mediately took the child away." She
insisted that the body of Mosher was
I that of the inau she had seen with the
child on that occasion, whom she had
never seen before nor since.
Superintendent Walling yesterday
described at length the steps which
have bceu taken by tho detectives to
secure the two men killed at Bay
Ridge, whom they have long suspect
ed were the kidnappers of Charlie
Ross. The first clue to connecting
Mosher and Douglas was furnished
him by Captain Iledden, formerly of
the Thirteenth aud now of tho Thirty
third I'recinct. He was busy in tire
Ross case in less than n week after
Charlie was abducted, aud made up
his mind aa to the possibility of Will
iam Mosher being one of the men that 1
carried Charlie off within twenty days !
from the date of the occurrence. Now,
Morher had a peculiar nose, and was
boru and brought up in tho Thir
teenth Ward. The nose had seen
trouble in its day. This deformity
would have made Mosher a conspicu
ous object among a thousand person*.
IDENTIFYING TIIK MKN.
The first step was to thoroughly
i verify the descriptiona giveii of the
men who stole Charlie ami of Char
lie himself. Captain Hints, of the
Philadelphia police force, without ask
ing any questions, kept Superintend
ent Walling constantly informed, and
finally it was agreed that the descrip
tions of the men who stole the boy and
Charlie IJuas were us accurate as could
he. JOvny point in these descriptions
had been labnrioualy canvassed, but
Mi Walling was determined to re
vet ily the descriptions of the kidnap
pers. Detective .Sellick was summon*
cd before the (Superintendent who did
not inform him of what bis object was,
and requested linn to look after a
man who hud broken jail. Sellick
u.ked for a description of the man
land Mr. Wallipg "lowly went over
description No. 'l. When he to
the nose Sellick smiled and said, '
"Why, that's llilly Mosher," and was i
immediately informed of the suspicion
that ccisled that Mosher was one of!
the men ulto abducted Charlie Jios*
Description No. I appealed familiar!
In those who knew Mosher and his
habits, ami it was soon agreed oil
thai llie person described could lie no
olbet than Joseph Douglas, one of

S)-rs < V, ritm if the motto of almost all
fraternili< s a* well a* the Church, but the
greatest of these is charity, and will live
a ml sing to all eternity in tho future world. I
Faith po.o-os (iotl through Christ. laiVc
IS born by faith and does g.vod to our!
neighbor and is greater than faith. Faith
comprehends Christ in itself faith is
prceiou* for Christ's sake whom it embra i
cc, iii whom it seeks peace, and salvation.
Faith i* the mother of all Christian virtue.
Love itself, that which cannot please (soil
which is not the product of faith, yet Paul
says: Love i- the greatest. Why'' Be
cause failh will t eac and love will last for-:
ever. Faith and hope arc connected with
the promises of God These in an instru
mental seme, work faith and hope, but
when that which ir promised shall come,
wo will nu longer havo need uf faith and
hope. Wo need faith bacauso of sin, but
when sin and weakness shall cease, faith
will cense also, and love will bo perfected.'
Fatth receives good thing*. Love does'
good things. Love reaches farther than:
fiiilli Faith and hope benefit me, what It
believe, 1 believe '• 1 r myself Love bene
Ills many, all. friend* and foes. Faith has
to do only with God on earth; but love!
with God and man to all eternity. l*>vtc
is a virtue of God Himself; faith and hope!
are riot. God it leva ami be who would be
like (iotl must be like Him in love, and
this will be eternal perfection. Reader,'
strive, therefore, to obtain this excellent!
virtue, use all possible diligence to attain
to this experience. And remember what
yon tie and suffer must be begun and -rid
ud ill love. If you rebuke any one, you .
must do it in love. Love is the most excel
lent gift. Love is the soul of every good
work. A* the body without the soul ir
dead, so every good deed, gift and work i<
dead without love Those who are proud
should be attended to especially. Such
disgruce not only tli<-ir gifts hut them
selves Proud man I \i hut has any man
to he proud o! all nothing before (lod,
nothing without Christ. There is m>t
much difference between men Weare all
nothing of ourselves, but in Christ, we aro
the children of God. Human ability is
nothing; divine power absolutely needful
—no niaii can save hunsell without
Christ. Through him alone can we love
God supremely and our fellowuien impar
tially, and to do this is perfect religion
This is the religion ot the Hililu and is perfect
—mine and yours, reader are not
perfect—it pi ay be the saint in kind but
not in degree. In conclusion, a \yord of
mutual, may lie in point. All should
strive against self-low. Whore self-love
