He was met Just where he didn't want to be, as Yank says, on lost Saturday. It's all right Pearl you were only hunting. AI. Short of North East and D. C Oyster of Ridgway, were here from Friday the 27th ult, until Monday, Dec. 1st settling up their business transacted he post year. The ring hunters and also ourown true hunters must bear In mind that no deer can be killed after the 10th Inst without violating the law. D. C. Oyster has bought a third interest In the Brockport store the firm consisting of D. C. Oyster, Al. Short ;& V. HV' Horton . Is now known as the Brockport & Keystone Lumber Company. The local editor of the DuBoise City Courier must have had one of those peculiar feelings last week that he used to have when he and his dog Bill resided at Camp Jock. How is it B. H. No teacher has yet been hired to teach the mountain school in Horton township. We understand William Raywlnkle, a son of Fred Ray winkle, will commence the school on Monday and teach it until some ' suitable teacher can be bad. That peculiar whistle heard in the board piles at Short Horton's mill has became familiar with quite a num ber of our quiet citizens. The parties connected witli the whistle had better find another place to pipe their melo dious tones where they can not be heard by persons passing along the ntgnway. AnibTose-Stmit while cutting logs on Johnson run for T. J. Taylor met with quite a serious accident one day last week. He was chopping the sec ond log oft from the butt of a tree that had been turned out or root by the wind when he was hurled twenty feet into the air by the root tipping back, striking In such a manner that he dislocated his right wrist and re ceiving several other slight bruises. We had the honor of hearing Prof. C. W. Chamberlin and Bro. play a fow of their choice pieces of music on tueir violin and organ last Sunday at the residence of Joseph Chamberlin. If the Prof, would take music lessons from some good teacher iu a short time he would become au expert with the violin. Willie with what little practice he has had does splendidly, Jn a few short years if he continues to learn as of yore will he one of the finest musicians. "L. C; A." can wax him on play ing pool. O yes, he can give him ten or fifteen and then win the game. "L. C. A." is like many others that we know. He' - can't most always some times tell who will win ten games out of twelve games played. Jennie, who. lives near the la r ere elm tree, complains of being greatly annoyed at night by being awakened from her peaceful slumbers by trav elers who pass quietly along the road. Now we think the noise She supposed to be made by buggies passing origin from the parlor und the bass of the same noise was heard at Jeff. Taylor's not long since, wheu that miserable old ox Kicked his master. For full particulars and explanation see Henry or Eliza. M. A. Lowery our violin manu facturer was very much disappointed on lost Sunday evening, after borrow ing a lantern for the express purpose of escorting his fair lady to her ro mantic and secluded wigwam was de prived of the pleasure there being another felicious youth present who shown much brighter in the eyes of Orzella. ...............

C., Nov. 6, 1879. The. opening of the regtilar session of the 4th Congress, on the 1st ipst., created less setmtlou ,nnd attracted less attention this yenr than the open ing of a big beer garden. There was none of thnt spice and importance iii the proceedings which sends fie average American spectator away from tho galleries satisfied with him self and his. Pickwickian representa tive; from tho rural district.. All the galleries in the House-Were filled, except the Diplomatic Gallery. In that sacred . inclqpure sat one solitary figure a brown Japanese, a member of tho legation of the great Sycoon, from that Island. In tho sea. Hugo pyra mids of flowers aud fragrant bouquets adorned the desks of many of the members. Before t he Speaker's gavel fell to hush tho buz 'and rebuke the throng and open the session, the ardent handshaking, the sweet smiles, the tender greetings, nnd the kindly inquiries between the rabid Democrat and the stalwart Republican, the soft Grccnbacker and the hard gold-bugs, the old Confederate and the old Union istmade one.;tlilnk ho was looking on, a reunion of long-parted friends, instead of a gathering of hostile po litical factions. In the Senate the'sanie, or similar, scenes were witnessed and similar Im pressions made. Senator Tburnian, notwithstanding the defeat in Ohio, sat waving his famous red bandanna behind a huge bouquet, smiling at all who approached. "Some kind friend," said he to one who complimented the flowers, "has sent these to decorate my political coillu." The tall figure of John Sherman, Secretary of the Treasury, approached the old Priuco of the Red Bandanna, saying, "How are you, Judge Thurnmn?" "How do you do, Mr. Secretary?" said the Senator, rising. "Sit down," "No; thank you" replied the Secretary. "Oh, but I Insist that you sit down in this chair," replied the Senator. "I see by tho papers, that Tom Young, ftrstand then Garfield, and then Stan ley Matt hews, each came in and tried my seat, and now I insist that you try it.'TV'Oh, no,"fsaid the Secretary: "if I should come back here, I would prefer my old seat'' pointing to it. The recommendation of the Secre tary of the Treasury, in his report, and of the President in his Message, favoriug the retirement of the green back from circulation, has developed a decided opposition to such a mpnunrtt among most of the Republican mem bers trom the West, and among both Democrats and Republicans from the SoutB. For two days it was the subject of discussion in the coat-rooms, in the lobbies, and on thejlioor of the House, but now ajjcalm succeeds the breeze, out of which there came the audible whisper from the potent voice of a stronc maioritv "The circulating medium shall not be de creased, and the business of the country destroyed by such legisla tlon!" . The niostMmuortant leeislatioii an ticipated this session is a revision of tne tariff. Whether tea. that bever aire for which our forefathers raised such a row in Boston harbor, is to be rue ooject or taxation, or quinine, which feeds our statesmen to rjreservo their lives near the tadpole flats of the Potomac, has not yet been determinep. The stealiner and publication of the President's Message and the report of the (secretary of the Treasury, before they were given to Congress, is still the subject of investigation. - much discussion, and, with a few, some swearing. Many theories and specu lations are advanced as to the manner of pilfering them, and several fertile schemes set on foot by the Executive urancn ot tne Uovernment to get these documents, in future, to Con gress before the fingers of the thief takes them away aud sells them for $250. It Is not the first instance of the kind, and therefore they will tax their ingenuity only for the next ad ministration to fall Into the same trap. In 1867 President Johnson's message got into the papers before it was read to Congress, and il was stated that the many journals.publisliiiig it paid $100 each for the "document. Notwith standing this experience aud renewed vigilance in 1868 Sccretaryof the i reasury Mcculloch was startled by readinir his report in a New York paper several days before it was given w uongress. The Republicans of the District of Columbia who have voluntarily re mained disfranchised for some years, in consequence of the great influx of ragged and destitute Africans from all portions of the South, voting for anything that brought taxation to property-holders, are now organizing with a view to be reinstated with the rights of an American citizen and the power of the ballot. At a meeting held several days since, Major A. C. Richards was chosen president, and Hon. Robert G. Ingersoll. and other prominent Republicans elected vice presidents. They were eloquently addressed by Horn Robert Ingersoll who made no allusion to the mistakes of Moses, but dwelt principally upon wie inisiuK.es oi i;ongress. The improvements made in and about the Capitol have been extensive, and conduce largely to its beauty. The broad approaches, which extend from the aveuues through-tho grounds on the west to the Captiol terrace, uave ueeu ium in ornamental concrete with guarding walls of white and blue stone, and give much effect. The ventilating ducts are complete. Paint and polish have been freelv used throughout the buildiug. Brumidi's fresco in the rotunda has been so ex tended that the visitor can appreciate the beauty and grandeur of the paint ing which, as a work of the painter's art, surpasses all others in the Capitol, save those ruugnificent pictures of Morau, representing scenes iu the Yel low Stone region. Four car-loads of colored emigrants from Goldsboro, N. C, passed through this city a few days ago, on their way to Indiana. They are healthy-looking and well-behaved people, of all grades and sexes. All of them, except about twenty, had paid their fare through to Indiaua. where they alleged, they in tended to make their future home. It was a solid Republican deleL'utiiHi. and one of the old Africans, with a lace as U4acd as polished ebony, and wool as white as a ball of cotton, said: 'I feel jus' like one oh de chillun oh Israel goiu' to de promis lan". . w-Qur t'hromo visiting cards, a cent a one, are fast-becoming popular Thirty different designs.

Dur ing the year lH0,jthe most stupendous political conflict of this epoch will take place. Upon its issue will depend the political destiny of the country for many years. The Press steadily resists the aims of the "Solid South," which is now organized to capture the Executive, to retain Congress, to remodel and con trol tne huprenie Court, and to subor dinate every publio interest to the overmastering purpose of controlling the policy of the Nutlou, and thereby gaining by legislation and peaceful means what It lost on the Held.

For ty reason It is, and will continue . to"bernbsolutely independent of cartv class,- clique, organization, or interest. ' It Is for all, but of none.

All honest men with honest convictions, whethar -v sound or mistaken, are its friends. "; And The Suit, makes no bones of tel-. - : ling the truth to its friends and about ' its friends whenever occasion arise " for plain speaking. These are the priucples upon which The Sun will be conducted during the year to come. . j. :' , The year 180 will be one in which) ... no patriotic American can afford to close his eyes to public affairs. It is iui- " possible to exaggerate the importance of the political events which it Iras ta :i store, or the necessity of resolute vi- iiuiu;e on me part oi every citizen who , desires to preserve the Government '' that the founders gave us. The de bates and acts of Congress, the utter ances of the press, the exciting'contest of the Republican and Democratic parties, now nearly equal in strength throughout the countrv, the varying '' drifts of public sentiment, will all bear V directly erlectively upon the twenty' 'l' fourth Presidential election, to beheld ' in November. Four years ago next November the will of the nation, as expressed at the polls, was thwarted by an abominable conspiracy, thA-ttr moters and beneficiaries of which still hold the offices they stole. Will the " crime of 1876 be repeated in 1880? The past decade of years opened with a cor-, tr rupt, extravagant and insolent Ad-' i ministration intrenched at Washing ton.
