The protracted - Autumn season which has just passed away, was one of rare brilliancy. There was much beautiful and invigorating weather, very man y bright days, when from frosty morn until the stars began to twinkle out the sky was clear and cloudless. The glad sun shine shimmered through a wail of purple mist, which trembled beneath its ray! with faint pulsations that seemed to ing dicate the conscious joy of nature even in its hour of temporary de cay. The red and hazy October stretched on through:the whole of November, and the inhabitants of the insect world sported about as if the Summer was to last all the year. The pasture lands still retained some thing of their green, and the willow over the way was is full foliage until within two or three days. Then, just before the storm came, while the weather was still mild, as If gifted with a strange prescience, it shook down its leaves, though no wind stirred it, in a continuous shower. Suddenly, with eat warning, a tierce snow storm from the Northwest swept over the land. The dente n of winter, who must have taken up his home in the land we lately bought from Russia, came down upon us and took complete possession. The fringe of snowy mantle was shaken over us. The snow storm had expended its violence before it reached us, but down went the thermometer, with a plunge, almost to zero. How cold it was, and still is. As we look out through our window there is that peculiar appearance about the thickly-clouded atmosphere that foretells a fall of snow, and thin feathery flakes are already sailing about. With the early corning of night, after the short chilly days, the in-door pleasures of winter will be fully inaugurated. As the family gathers about the hearth there will be ample opportunity for read ing and social converse. In our city there is room for pleasant festivities and the repeated reunion of friends, which we have no doubt will be improved. In the rural districts the singing school, the sleighing party with the old fashioned country dunce, and other time honored social gatherings will give zest to the life oft he young. Wiu ter is the farmer's season of rest. While his stock repose in their stalls he takes the world easy. He and his family need read ing matter during the long winter nights. Newspapers are then devoured with eager avidity, and a store of useful information is laid by for future use. No house should be without at least one good paper. For pleasant and profitable Winter reading we can commend the Intelligencer, either Daily or Weekly, as Just what is needed.

THE HomnAvs.—The holiday season Is rapidly approaching, and the coming of that time of good cheer and social inter course excites pleasurable emotions in the minds of all. It is right that Christmas should be the chief of holidays. It comes at the right season of the year, lighting up the darkest hours of winter with mirth and festivity. The custom of giving gifts at this season is one which has been honored by immemorial usage and practiced in all Christian countries. We are glad to notice that it is becoming more universal with us each year. Our merchants provide many beautiful things especially for that occasion, and with a proper appreciation of their own interests they advertise their wares through the columns of the now universal newspa pers. Such as are in search of Christmas presents, and every body will want some thing, will; find an infinite variety of all suitable objects advertised in our columns. Go for your holiday gifts to those who ad vertise. They are best prepared to supply you, and we can corn mend all whose names thus appear in our columns us gentlemen of strict integrity and honorable in all their dealings. DEATH OF AN ESTIMABLE CITIZEN.—In another column will be found the an nouncement of the death of Geo. L. Eck ert, Esq., of Paradise township, his county. Mr. Eckert was well known throughout the county as a man of extraordinary en ergy and perseverance. His social quali ties surrounded him with a host of friends, who are left to mourn his loss. A friend to everybody, an active and useful man In the community in which ho passed his whole life, his death will be deeply felt by those who have had the pleasure of his acquaintance, and especially by the many who have felt of his bounty and partaken of his Mud counsels. A man of highstand ing in society; a pillar of the church; an earliest Christian gentleman; a man of broad, liberal views on all subjects; en deared to all who knew him, he has gone to his long home, with the consolation of a well spent life. The:sorrow of the commu nity at large is only less great than that of his afflicted widow and children, to whom he has ever been a most kind and indulgent husband and father. THE MONTHLY MAGAZINES FOR 1868. The January numbers of the various monthly Magazines are already out, some of which are now on our table. They are all neatly printed, and highly embellished with steel and other engravings. We have received: Godey for January, which is a prize number, containing two very fine steel plates, a pretty tinted cut, an inimitable fashion plate, and a special piece of block printing for the ladles, being the figure of a stag in eight colors, is beautiful and worth itself the price of the book. It is the best number yet out, and " Phemio Rowland" —a capital story by Marion Harland—be gins in this number. Peterson for January, being an excellent and unsurpassed number, containing two elegant steel engravings, exquisite fashion plate, etc., and any amount of good reading matter. A beautifully colored pattern of a bird, in Berlin work, is decidedly fine. Peterson's Magazine is one of the best and cheapest published. "Ballou's for:January is a good number, handsomely illustrated, enlarged consider ably, and is filled with interesting litera ture. IMPORTANT TO SRATERS.—In view of the approach of the skating season, the follow ing may save our friends who indulge in the recreation of skating, no small amount of discomfort: "Before starting for the ice bathe your feet in cold water, dry them per fectly and give them a good rubbing with a crash towel, put on a pair of woolen or heavy cotton stockings and your feet will remain comfortably warm for three or four hours in the coldest weather." MARTETTA Awimazas.—The Marietta= says that the Silver= Springer_ Hotel, long known as "Gamber's," situated midway between - this plies and 114 ficaldO l i srldT Lancaster and Marietta turnpike, was so ld a few days since, by John Kendig..for $10,7, SALE OF . 4112 SPRINGS HoTEL.This khown* Hotel owned and ' kept for many years by . Messrs. Lichtenthaler, and which was recently said at public sale to Reuben Grosti for the' sum of VA,010.00. has been since resold by him to Geo. Grider for about the same price that he paid for It. IMPORTANT TO ExEcnnons ' Annitrisf TBA.TOBS, TRUSTEES, dr.o,—ln acirenlarad dressed to United States assessors, the Coin mission& of Internal Revenue says : "Pains should be taken to acquaint executors,. ad ministrators, trustees, ctc., of their personal liability for legacy taxes, and that leis no only their legal duty, but for their own prit vale miereat and protection, to pay legacy taxes and the succession taxes, under sec tion 133, upon each sum before it is paid over to the legatee, distribute° or successor. All persont. should be informed that a suc cession tax is a first charge on the interest of the successor, and of all persona claiming in his right in all the real estate in respect whereof such duty is assessed, and that such estate is liable to seizure and sale, even in the hands of a bona Jade purchaser." EXTRAORDINARY SURGICAL OPERATION. Miss Julia Arms, of Columbia Borough, had been afflicted for several years with a large tumor in the stomach, which required frequent surgical operations. On Saturday last, Dr. Hottenstein of that place, assisted by a number of experienced surgeons, per formed an operation on Miss A., removing a tumor thirty pounds in weight. Miss A. was told, previous to the operation being performed, that her chances for recovery were only one to three—that she could not possibly live more than three weeks at the t urthemt, if the operation wap not performed. Miss Arms consented to having the tumor removed on Saturday afternoon, and sur vived the operation only till Tuesday noon, when she died. ACCIDENT NEAR MOUNT JOY.—Philip Eicherly, an old man working for Henry Breneman, two miles west of Mount Joy, had his hand crnshed in a threshing ma chine. It appears Mr. Breneman went out to unhitch the horses, whilst the man heav ing gathered up some loose grain and at tempted to put it through the machine, when the cylinder caught his hand and crushed it so badly as to necessitate ampu tation. He is doing well. LOOK OUT FOR THElL—Counterfeit two dollar bills, national currency, have been put In circulation, Like the counterfeit tens. and twenties, they are much coarser than the genuine, and are easily detected by comparing with the genuine. A few of the bogus notes were passed in a neighboring city on Saturday.

Testimony of Mr. PETER BHA W. WEST WINFIELD, N. Y Dec. 10, 1800. Messrs. S. W, FOWLE do tios, Boston. CLentlemen,—During the winter of 18181 was very much uut or health, afflicted with a severe Cbugh, Pain in the side and Lungs, and a general depression of health to amen an extent as great ly to alarm myself and friends as to the result. During this time I tried several highly recom mended remedies, with little or no good result, and had concluded to try the effect or a South ern climate upon my health; but, before cur rying this resolution into effect, I was Induced by the urgent solicitation of your agent, Mr. Bun tly, to give Dr. Wis VA.B.'SBALSAM OF WILD CIiERRY a triaL I did so, and to my great Joy founu immediate and permanent relief by the use of only one bottle, and I am now In as good health as ever. I believe your Balsam one of the best remedies for Cbughb, Colds, and all Lung Diseases, now in use, and conscientiously recommended it as such. _ Yours truly, PETER SHAW. Prepared by SETH W.

The wonderful effects of Moffat's Life Pills in caeca of mental depression or physical weakness, proceed ing from indigestion, ;costiveness, or bilious lucre ions are certified to by millions of persons who have been benefitted by them. They are the most effective cathartic and purifier ever before the public and have ever been in use since 1815. They are cheap, safe and reliable. Said by all respectable dealers everywhere. MEM IA plain !statement, of facts. I inherited Scrofula, and many of my relations have died of It. In 1839 thy case was frightful. Tumors and ulcers spread until in 1812, under the advice of my physicians I went to Avon Springs. I received no benefit—tried every medicine and did everything I could• I had to rest my arm on a cushion, and had not been able to raise it to my head for over a year. The discharge from two ulcers was nearly a pint a day. Amputation was recommended; but pronounced dangerous. I could nut sleep, and my sufferings were intolerable. A friend brought me an English physician who applied a salve with which he said he had accomplished ext traordlnury cures in the huspitals in England. I commenced to relieve; persisted in its use; It finally effected a perfect and entire cure. It is now 1848, It is five years since I had the appearance ofa scrofulous sore, and my health has been good ever since. Procured the receipt of his wonderful article—this leasing of humanity—and have called it " PAGE'S CLIMAX SALVE," and allow the public to use !tor got as they choose. This is a brief but candid statomen given more fully in my circular. GENEVA, New York, December, 18.18. J. H. PAGE. Nxw Yoax, Oct.. 10, 1886. " I have known J. M. Page, Esq., of Geneva, N.

El= 52 5 MILES UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD, RUNNING WEST FROM OMAHA ACROSS THE CONTINENT, ARE NOW COMPLETED This brings the line to the eastern base of the }Welty Mountains, and It Is expected that, the track will be laid thirty miles further, to Evans Pass, the highest point on the road, by January. The maximum grade from the foot of the mountains to the summit is but eighty feet to the mile, while that of many eastern roads is over one hundred. Work on the rock cuttings on the western slope will continue through the winter, and there is no reason to doubt that the entire grand line to the Pacific will be open for business in 1070. The means provided for the construction 01 this Great National Work are ample. Toe United States grants Its Six Per Cent. Bonds at the rate of from 816,000 to 648,000 per mile, for which it takes a second lien as security, and receives payment to a large If not to the lull extent of its claim in services. Those bonds are Issued as each twenty-mile section is finished, and after it has been examined by United States Commissioners and pronounced to be in all respects a first-class road, thorough ly supplied with depots, repair shops, stations, and all the necessary rolling stock and other equipments. rite United States also makes a donation of 12,800 acres of land to the mile, which will be a source of large revenue to the Compally. Much of this land in the Platte Valley Is among the most fertile in the world, and other large por tions are covered with heavy pine forests and abound in coal of the be..t quality. The Company is also authorized to issue its own First Mortgage Bonds to an amount:equal to the Issue of the Government and no more. Bon. E. D. Morgan and Hon. Oakes Ames are Trustees for the Bondholders, and deliver the Bonds to the Company only as the work pro gresses so that they always represent an aatua and productive value. The authorized capital of the Company is One Hundred Million Dollars, of which over five millions have been paid in upon the work already done EA.BNINGB OF THE COMPANY. - - At present, the profits of the Company are derived only from its local traffic, but this is already Much more than sufficient to pay the interest on all the Bonds the Company can is sue, if not another mile were built. It is not doubted that when the road Is completed the through traffic of the only line connecting the Atlantic and l'a.cLfic States will be largely be yond precedent, and as there will be nu competition, it can always be done at profita ble rates. It will be noticed that the Union Pacific Rail road is, in fact, a Government Work, built under the supervision of Government otlicersi and to a large extent with Government money' and that its bonds are Issued under Govern ment direction. It is believed that no simile security is so carefully guarded, and certainly no other Is based upon a larger or more valua ble property. As the Company's FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS, are offered for the present at 00 CENTS ON THE DOLLAR, they are the oneapest security in the market, being more than 15 per cent. lower than United States Stocks. They are SIX PER CENT. IN GOLD, or over NINE PER CENT. upon the invest ment. Subscriptions will be received in Lancaster by REED, MCGRANN dc CO., Bankers. LANCASTER CO.
