Public Lauds by Mr. Driggs, renewing the
grant of public lands made to Railroad
Companies in Michigan and Wisconsin.
E. B. Washburn, 111., opposed either the
removal of old land grants_ or giving new

Dull Tlmei In New Yor el
NEW YORK, Dec. 10.—The World esti

employment in this city. There is a com

The case of the poisoning of Mrs. and Miss
Fall, at Brooklyn, on yesterday morning, is
still wrapped in mystery. Mr. Price, the
druggist, who has been arrested on sus

them on Sunday night, and immediately

-THE CoMING OF WlNTErn.—GrimWititor
has come at last, come with rude and boil'
terons winds, with n driving snow storm,
with bitter icy earnestness—and, no doubt,
it has come to tarry with us for many
dreary weeks. 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 above local appeared in the DAILY
iNTELLIGENCER before the last issue of
the Weekly, hut was crowded out by the
Presidents Message, Sc,

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=

known as "Gamber's," situated midway

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.

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.

The wonderful effects of Moffat's Life Pills in caeca
of mental depression or physical weakness, proceed

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.

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
