CHRISTMAS, We hail the coming of Christmas! Young and old cherish a feeling of love and longing for Christmas—the bad with the good look forward to the coming of Christmas as an event that is freighted with joy and gladness, How many, alas, of all the millions, who look upon Christmas as the great- est of all holidays, celebrate it as it should be celebrated ? The good Christian commemorates the birth of Christ with a holy glad- ness and rejoicing, conscious that the babe born in the manger at Bethlehem is the greatert gift that could have been given mankind—a gift far more valuable than if a world had been be- to return. The last one to disappear, as 1803 keeps rising above the horizon, is old 1882,—s¢ee her going down, down-—on- ly the upper deck and masts can be seen of 1892, but who cares ? she has answered her purpose; we have no fur- ther use for her, and the REPORTER calls out to her disappearing form “Good-bye, good old '92, good bye!” Yes, good-bye "92, young '98 is com- ing into the harbor of Time, freighted with new ideas, new inventions, ad- vances in arts and sciences, that make us all watch her coming with intense | eagerness to see what she has in store | for us to excite our wonder and admi- ration, in new blessings to mankind. Come on, charming '93—millions will rise to offer you three, six, yea nine cheers, as you cast your anchor for a period of one revolution of old mother Earth around the great lumin. ary of the day. Come on, grand '93, from pole to pole, every mortal waits to greet you! Already are the guns loaded to belch for a gladsome chime, to join songs and horns, as you enter the har- bor and the gangplank connects you with the shore at your landing.

While he got in and out of town without being caught by a newspaper man, a careful reconnoissance of his trail leaves no had a long pow-wow with him. Oth- er things that came to the surface in- ean nomination for governor in 1594, is greatly disturbed at the boom which has sprung up for Congressman Char- lie Stone, of Warren, and wants to find a way to head it off. What con- solation or advice Hastings got from Quay, it goes without saying, did not leak out.” When the Republicans de- manded Hastings three years ago, Quay answered by giving them Dela- mater, and the people steppod in and gave them Pattison. Now when the Republicans are again demanding bread the Quay crowd offers them a Stone—that’s the way the REPORTER sizes it up.

The law in relation to the matter directs about as follows: If you take up stray animal you must, within ten days, give notice of it to your town- ship clerk, who must make an entry of the same; then you advertise the animal in your local paper; and sixty days after such advertisement has ap- peared you apply to a justice of the peace to sell the animal, he issues a warrant to the constable, who gives ten days’ notice by posters and then sells it, and you get it, or your ex pens- es, according to the sale.
