To cneli mil every ono ol our renders
nn J friends we extend our best wishes
for a Merry Chrlsiiias. The Reason of
festivity dawns upon our beloved bind
most auspiciously; wblle other nations
bfiva been visited .by uuiversal plagues
of oholorn and other sicknesses, we have
been most mercifully spared. For this
Wo uttered thanksgiving only a few
weeks since, yet iu the happy season
cow nt hand, lot us not forget amidst
our many pleasures, the circumstances
which enable us to enjoy them the more
fully and with lighter heart. Let in
also bear In mind that while tno comU'E
holiday will find nuny blessed with
prosperity and happiness, they will also
dawn o'l others for whom they will bring
tad nud reilectivo thoughts, and increas
ed misery. Lot those to whom prosperi
ty has come, who, with hnppy hearts,
will welcome tho coming of the festive
days, share a portion of their happiness
nnd temporal blessing uitu tho poor
Our enjoyments nro sometimes bo great
and our blessings to abundant that wo
arc opt to forget those nt our own door
from whom they lmvo been withheld, and
to whom onr enjoyment brings only ad
ditional misery. Wo therefore earnestly
appeal to nil by whom tbeso Hues tuny
be read, to remembor tho poor and ills
tressed, and wo feel confident that no
previous Chris'mus will have seemed to
them so bricht and hnppy as this year,
whn, with giateful hearts, they chared
tho blessings bestowed upou them with
those of their fellow creatures, who, but
for their thoughtful attention and benev.
olence, might not havo tasted a morsel
of food on tho hapniest day of all the
year. Again wo wish all our patrons a
Mehux Clint'TMAS.
What shll wo do with tho tramps?
This qneBllon has been asked frequently
the past few days. Iu our opinion the
best thing for our borough authorities to
do would bo to put a good strong feDca
around tbo lock-up lot, pile up n lot of
stones therein, arrest every tramp who
makes an nppearnuco in tho borough
nnd set Mm to work cracking the stones
for 48 hours and furnish him during the
time with n bread and water diet. The
stones could be very advantageously
used upon our streets and in a short
time the tramp pest would skip lightly
around tho outskirts of our borough
work they don't liko nnd won't do if
possiblo. Try it!

Fo. Advocatki That an adequalo water
supply lor the domestic and manufacturing
purposes of our town is essential to Its
future success and prosperity, Is dally
cmonstrated in every home, shop and
factory.
Considerable tlmo and spaco might be
consumed discussing tho advantages of such
supply, but mention nl a few of the most
important will suffice. For domestic pur.
poses, by virtue of its physiological office,
it is necessary that tho water be whole
some. The quality obtained from n supply
would be superior to that furnished by
wells and rain water cisterns and the cost,
when quantity is desired, would be greatly
diminished. A constant and regular supply
would replace tbe inennvediences during
periods of draught. It would prove an ef
fectual agent In the protection of property
from fire, especially hero where tho houses
aro principally framo and closely built, a
condition ofulTairs favoring tho destruction
of the entire town In caso of the slmutan
eous occurruueo of firo aad high winds
An efficient water supply would greatly en
banco tho value of property and also
diminish the rates of insurance, making
the town a moro desirable place of rest
denco.
There aro two systems of water supply
the pumping and gravity systems, nnd that
system which combines tho greatest num
ber of advantages with tho least cost of con
struetion and maintenance is the ono to bo
adopted.
In the selection of a source for a supply
quality and quantity must he taken into
consideration. Lehighlon occupies tho cn
viable position from which i t can choose
between three sources of unquestiouoblo
quality nnd abundant quonity, yiz: Ma-
boning Crc.'k, Beaver i'.iln and Long Run.
In order to secure tho waters ol tho Ma.
boning tho pumping system must bo ra-
sorted to, tho other mentioned streams af
fording a gravity supply. While tho first
coat of the pumping system would bo some
Ies3 than the long lino of pipo necessary for
a gravity supply, tho cost of maintainenco
would would render its adoption improcti
cable. In considering tho advantages of
Beaver Run everything is favorablo to nu
efficient supply, but when compared with
thoto of Lung Run wo find it would requiro
a longer lino 'if pipe, thereby increasing the
cost. Loug Run is n stream of remarkably
puro water, 1 mining oyer a bed of rock and
stone which prcyent the heaviest rains rend
eriug its waters turbid. Surrounding tbo site
of tho proposed reservoir and north to the
head of tho stream the hills rise very
abruptly on cither side, removiug nil fear
as to the future contamination of tho water
by the cultivation of the ndjscont lainls.ic.
Tho natural features of the country prevent
U3 ever becoming luicxiy luuauileil.

fact which nil will rcrngnlzo.
