We have received the Aldine for Jan.
and it is superb. We know of no way
in which one can get as much beauty
for his money as by sending live dollars
to James Sutton & Co., Publishers, 58
Maiden Lane, N. Y., and receiving in
return for a whole year the Aldine.
We would call attention to the adver

James Turner and a son of E. (). Aus
tin, not lons since were in the woods
hunting <m Freeman Run, and not re
turning at dark, some of the neighbors
went out to look for theru. They were
found and the party reached home about
three o'clock in the morning. The boys
had got lost and of course the streams
all ran up stream, so they were going
farther from home at every step. When
found they were nearly exhausted and
as the night was bitter cold the result
of their adventure might have been a
sad one but for the timely assistance
that came to them.

Card of Thanks.—l take this opportunity,
with an apology for its lateness, of returning my
most hearty tluinks for the visit of my friends, of
the most pleasant and substantial character I
ever enjoyed, on the evening of the 21th ult.
On said evening on my return home I found
quite a numlier of friends already gathered, and
others and their families kept on coming in, from
tow n and eountry.tiil a late hour. The tables were
handsomely as well as no>st snmptuously spread,
around which, age, prime and youth gleefully
gathered, and all enjoyed with as much zest, the
social feast of good cheer and pleasantry as that
which was so luxuriously set l>efore them: all
of which throughout the evening made it pass
away, sltogether too swiftly, but with equal satis
faction and pleasure to all present. I need not
write, that this visit of my friends was gratifying
iu tlie largest sense as to its pecuniary value, at
this time, under such a dissaffeeted condition of
society and when I am, by choice, temporarily
without a charge; but it is chietlly and unspeak
ably valuable and gratefully appreciated for the
friendships and devotion attested by nty friends
of my own and of the other congregations of this
place and community, of which the tender good
words, the hearty hand shakings and substantial
parting gifts on that night, assure me. The en
tire amount of donations left as Christinas gifts
were one hundred and thirty-one dollars ($131.20)
in greenbacks and about (10) ten dollars in other
presents, making a total of $141.00 to which are
to tie added thirteen dollars in cash since, which
sums up the handsome amount of $144 cash or
all together 154 dollars. Therefore for all these
gifts—to the enterprise and success of the Com
mittee and to all, these kindly donors, I must
heartily return many, many thanks. And be as
sured I shall carry away with me and ever cher
ish with gratitude, tlie most precious memory of
your kindness exhibited in so many ways and
again so socially by these tokens of your abiding
friendship. And hoping that all your gifts of
love and numerous kindnesses, may always be
as|cheerfully rendered and as gratefully received,
please accept the utmost of my good wishes, botli
for your temporal and spiritual good, while 1
shall remain as ever your friend and well-wisher

A Trial of 50 Years.
The JVetc York Ottserver has passed through
the ordeal, and starts out anew on the second fifty
years with a larger list of readers and more nu
merous friends than ever. Such a steady course
of prosperity is unexampled, and inspires eonii
dcnce. We heartily rejoice in the great success
of a paper which has always advocated those
sou lid principles that underlie the foundations of
society and good government. Orthodox in the
truest sense, both in Church ami .State, its influ
ence is always good. We see its publishers pro
pose to give to every subscriber for 1 ->73 an appro

who subscribe will have no cause to regret the
