There will be a donation, at the M. K.
Parsonage, in SmithSeld township, for
lhe benefit of the Rev. Henry Litts, on

Coal up. Why is it?
The price of coal hag been rai?ed cn
consumers hero at from tea to twenty
cents jer ton. Can any one tell why
this is? In New-York where there is a
choice of market there is a continual de
cline going on in the price of coal. Here.
where the company is both wholesale and
retail merchant, and has the control of
the market, it is advancing. "Who can
give us a reasonable why or wherefore
for this state of things?
Collision.
On Monday laat, about midday, there
was a terrible smash up, on the railroad,
near Bell's Bridge, caused by the collid
ing of the freight train goisg south with
a coal traiu north. The locomotives of
both trains were badly smashed, and cars,
freight-, were piled together in the
greatest confusion. The mail train going
north was detained several hours by the
collision. The collision was caused by
hc criminal conduct of the engineer of
the coal train, who started from the Wa
ter Gap, without orders from h'13 condue
ning on was time belonging to the freight
tor, and when he knew the time he w&3 run
train. Fortunate1, there were no lives
lost, nor was any one injured. There
should be a law to correct si" eh gross cul
pabihty and recklessness by the severest
punishment.
The Protracted Llcetircs.
The series of meetings, commenced
-some two weeks ago, in the -Methodist
Jipiseopal Church, still continue with
unabated zeal. Indeed, in the mencry
of the oldest inhabitant, there never was
a time when there was so much interest
manifested ia religious matters, by our
people as now. Little children, and stal
wart men, misses and matrons, arc anx
iously seeking for that Messed faith,
which alone can comfort them in life,
and cheer them on in their passage
through the valley cf the shadow ct
nicath." Nor is the interest ccr.Qned to
any one class of our citizens. The high
et and the lowest kneel upon a common
level, at the altar of the most High God.
The store, the workshop, the parlor, the
eld of the labcriag man's toil, and the
professions are all represented by anxious
and earnest seekers after the way, the
truth and the light." Truly, it is a sol
emn sight to witness these
ieetmg3.

JK?" A writer ia the last Monroe Dem
ocrat over the signature cf " SnitbGold,"
takes exceptions to our notice of the ap
pointment of Mr! James A. Pauli, to the
Dputy Collectorship of this county, and
vouches for the truthfulness of his loyalty
during the rebellion. If opposition to
every measure promulgated by the gov-
ernment for the suppression of rebellion,
if joining in views with the Reeds, the In
gersoh and the Val'aadighams cf the
day if finding fault with everybody who
desired to, and everything that did, hurt
rebellion, and if explaining away Union
victories and rebel defeats constituted loy
alty, then indeed was Mr. Pauli loyal,
though numbers cf Lis owu party, even,
failed to gee it, and epoke reproachfully
of Lis course. But it is loyalty viewed
from the SmithSeld Democratic etand
point, possibly, which " SmithSeld" eecks
to defend, and as that kind of loyalty has
become the stepping stone to fivor with
the powers that berf it is all sufacient for
present use. Against Mr. Pauli as a
man we have' nothing to urge, and it was
only iu view of the President's expressed
determination " to make treason odious,"
as exemplified ia connection with Mr.
Pauli's political antecedents that we
spoke of the matter at all. In reply to
thg query, why he was not taken in hand,
if he was so disloyal? we have only to
say that the game wan altogether too light
for the powder. 11 Smithfield" 13 ruistak

The meeting was called to order by the
President, Rev. It. Pitts. Prayer was
offered by Rev. II. J. Pierce. The min

Managers during the year were read and
approved. The annual report of the Sec

The keeper of the Depository (II. Boys),
was authorized to givs a Bible to any des
titute family applying' to him.
The Committee oa Books were direct
ed to return any unsaleable books that may
be on baud.
The Treasurer's report showed that the
Society had received donations from the
churches and individuals to the amount
of S3 10.00, and that owing to the expense
of canvassing the country and the cost
of books on hand, there was still an in-

During the war of the Rebellion, when
the war trump was blowing its blast, fa

fathers aud brothers alar off, and many
changes passing over the face of society,
there was nothing done by the friends ol
the cause towards distributing the Bible
in this county. But when the clarion
ceased to sound, and the scarred veterans
were turning their weary feet homeward,
to their own firesides, the Bible Society
again commenced its labour of love. The
Society was re-organized, in the summer
of lSUu, with Rev. Robert Pitts as Presi
dent, and Rev. Mr. Pierce and C. D
Brodbead for Vice-Presidents, aud, soon
after, 31r. Joha II. Brown was chosen as
Colporteur to canvass the county. He
commenced ia November, and visited
Coolbaugb, Price. Barrett and Paradise
townships, but, owing to the inclemency
oi the weather, and other combining
causes, it was fand inexpedient then to
continue. He visited i17 families.

In July, 1SC0, Mr. John Malven was
appointed to finish the work through the
county, and the following is the report of
his proceedings:
In 54 days he called on 2012 families.
He found, destitute of the Bible, 231 fa

131 families gratuitously, 40 families by

The Society feels glad to state, that
throughout the county, the Colporteur
uij not una one individual who was hoa
tile to the scriptures. Thirty-six Roman
Catholic families would not receive our
version, but asked fcr the Douay or Ro
man Latiiolie Bible. Those whom he
found destitute, were cither very poor, or,
carelessly inattentive to their spiritual
state; and in no case aid the destitution
arise from opposition to the writteu word
He often felt grieved not to bo able to
give a copy to each individual, especially,
ween a largo lamily would desire more
than one.
He gave an interesting statement of
the varied developments of character
among our people. Sometimes but astonc's
throw would separate the dwelling of the
n irrow, dark, spirit who thought only of
clutching the earth, lrom the home cf
them who, with broad expanse of vision,

He witnessed cases where the moral
beauty of a heroic soul would shine out
in the r:idt of poverty and distress, as
the f un sending its rays through the dark
clouds cf a ttorra. He entered, one low
ly dwelling whore a widow received him
iu the cheerful aspect of strong faith, who
was eapporting herself and a sick daugh
ter by picking wintergreen leaves, and
sending them for eale to a distant part of
the county. Another woman who was
supporting four children by hard work
was laying uy 01 ner scant earnings to
buy Bible for each of her children, as
their inheritance. In one place, where
they used a ladder for stair in their hum
ble dwelling, they were so delighted to
have the scriptures brought to their door
that they purchased one of the handsora
est as an ornament in their house. He
was entering a hanty, when the woman
exclaimed "We arc so glad to see you ;
we beard of you, but were afraid you had

He was a guest of an interesting fami

Correspondence of the Jeflersonian.
Milford, Pa., Dec. 18GQ.
Mr. Editor:
"When I arose, ia the morning, I mus
confess that my legs did not exhibit that
elasticity and comfortable motion with
which they responded to my will on' the
morning of the precceding day. In fact
I found a little " Liniment not out of
place, in rubbing myeelf down, prepara
tory to my continued excursion. When I
set out, the day before, feeling so fresh
and vigorous, I flattered myself with the
idea that, when I reached the neighbor
hood of my nativity, ray sprightly step,
and easy movements, would show how
lightly time Ect on me, whilst I conversed
with the " old settlers" of the things of
twenty years ago. But the cace which I
. M
carried th3 day Letoro lor amusement
was now a necessity; and to go up hill
was less difficult than to go down ! Re
solving not to run ahead of time this day
I starred, crossing into Jersey in a small
boat. Politically, there is a great union of
principle and feeling here, on both sides
of the river, but from some cause bridges,
ia this vicinity, will not stand, and at
Dingman'a and Milford but the stono work
remains, whilst the bridges aro not.
Now, I am on old familliar ground.
It was here I was born, and here I grew
to early manhood. Twenty years have
elasped, aud what a change ! The " local
habitations" are about the same, with the
exceptions of the rubbings of time,
which the people have in most cases not
tried to cover with paint and prosperity
But the jiefjplt, tltc'se, show what the
ravages of twenty years can do! Families
broken up; some, many, dead, whilst
others, heads of new families, arc scatter
ed in distant places. Only here and
there could I Cud an old familliar face,
and myself but recognized by a few!
With those few the conversation was of
the past; a commuuion pleasant but full
of incidents of sorrow.
The old home of my childhood nd
youth! oh, how fraught with sweet yet
sad, sad, recollection! ! That spot, once
cheerful and pleasant, the home of an un
broken circle, full of happiness, not trou
bled even with a foreboding thought that
Time would destroy it all! That spot
is desolate now. But a part of the dear
old house remains, dilapidated and uncared-for,
yet speaking to me with living
thoughts from every part. Tho trees yet
standing are living sentinels, whose pass
word has never been forgotten, whilst I
look in vain for those that are not. An
old man made older by hu own stupidi
ty and dullnessf with his family, occu
pies the place, and to mo tho desolation
is more complete than if even ho were
not there. " O, tho ravages of time,
with this sentence ringing through my
mind I left the place, to seek faces more
familliar, uear by, and spirits more con
cnial.
Walking over familliar ground, I was
struck with the apparent nearness of ob-
T ... .... I 1 Ml J
jects in the vicioity 01 my cuuuuoou s
home. What I then set down for a mile,
now appeared only about, two-thirds of
that distance! Is it so that our childish
idea of magnitude and distance is thus
bevond the reality? And is it so that
those who live to old age, on some old
homestead, always retain this false idea?
I pass a neighboring house and am re
minded of a large family of children with
whom 1 attended school. They were in
dulged and upheld by their parents in
many a sinful act, such as Sabbath-break
ing, lying, stealing, fighting, &c., and I
feel the wisdom of a father's injunctions,
who would not permit us to associate with
them. One of that family died whils
serving a second term in the State's pris
on of New-Jersey, for forging his father's
name! Another fell by a bullet whils
trying to escape from justice; whilst
most, if not all, were guilty of other crimes
of various degress of heniousness!
tremble while I think that I, breaking
father's commands, stole away a few time?
to fish or skate with them on Sunday, and
once to sec them make counterfeit money
in tho woods! Ah, how little do chil
drca know what is best for them, whils
they are restrained by parents who know
their duty and would do it for the welfare
of their children ; and how mistaken is
that kindness which allows children to
grow up, practicing their own wicked in
clinations, which are sure to bring their
fruits of misery sooner or later.
At another house, near by, I stopped
for the night. With, this family I had
spent many a nappy nour we were
friends, although at first they did not
recognize me. Death had been uuusu
ally relentless here, and more than half a
dozen are sleeping in the grave who were
here when I last came this way! In
wide coutrast was the conversation at this
visit from my last. That was the house
of feasting, this of mourning. A wise
man has said that the last is in reality the
best for us.
In the morning, after visiting other
friends, among whom was an old lady
91 years of age, so vigorous, ia mind and
body, that the chance to her seems fair
for a century I went to the neighbor
hood burial ground. Familiar names
are there cut in marble on every side.
The history of mauy sleeping there is a
part of' my own, and the thought is full
of meaning. In this way all of us are
represented in the unseen land. Like
the different characters in a story, no his
tory run3 alone.
After an hour of thought here, thoughts
that burn yet consume not, I walked on,
reaching Milford a3 the sun settled be
