Wit: Sitpatimtut, The tkgtdays. The holidays seem to have -been joyously observed all over the land. Shop-keepers have reapt a plentiful harvest of greenbacks, Young and old-feasted on "fat things," and the little ones were made rich in toys and mottmats. Not even the gallant soldiers were forgotten, but were remembered by boxes of dainties and substantials from many a household, village and neighborhood. The Editor's Cow. The Senior Editor of the Messenger is the unfortunate owner, (as the sequel will show,) •f as fine a Muley Cow as ever graced a dairy. or put her foot Ma cedar pail,—a golden-skin • Ned, Durham half-breed, affording, ten months of the year, an abundant supply of rich and delicious milk to a half-doz en doating and ex pectant urchins,—a mug, now and then, to needy neighbors, and an occasional roll of as sweet yellow butter as has tempted or greased the appetite of an epicure "within the memory of man." Such a cow t—but language fails to do her justice. Well, for two long months past we have been trying to prevail on every other farmer we have met within a circle of five miles of our village to furnish us with enough hay, fodder or straw to winter the invaluable animal, offering, in return, fabulous prices in "Scabs," "greenbacks" or "puffs." Touched by our appeals, we have in some instances drawn tears from their eyes and ample yellow Amnon handkerchiefs from their breeches pock ets, but never yet a straw from their rye stacks or a stalk from their corn shocks ! if we except a single load of fodder sent us"y oar amiable and sympathizing friend, Motteatv R. Wiar, Esq , of Fiankliii, (long be his mem ory green 'it Brindle's soul, if she has one, and see are half inclined to believe this cow has.)— AU we have spoken to have, with "one accord, began to make excuse." One -'would be glad to accommodate us, but he had broken his wagon,"—another "hadn't.a straw more titan he needed," (a close calculator that,)—another "hadn't time to haul," but could spend two days in the week loafing about town or toast ,ing his shins by his back log,—and so on till we began to suspect a treneral sonspiracy to atittyo.the cow. We knew the excuses were rnare"bosh" in nine instances out of ten, but What the deuce could a fellow do or say ? Well, the consequence of our numerous and signal failures in foraging is, that Brindle is "on her last legs," and as barely plump enough to cast a shadow en a clear day, and has not been able, for a fortnight past, to "kit her voice" in vain protest against her owner's ill-treatment. But for the precarious subsistence eked, by high elimbingoltom country wagons, her coarse limed Crave long since been run,.andahe would have been browsing in the green and luxuriant pastures and by the quiet waters of cow paradigm. Loath to leave our caressing "little ones," however, and fertile and enterprising in her attempts and expedients to,prolong her days, "she still lives," and the question now is, what is to be done ? Do none of our sub sCribers care enough for the poor brute to bring as a load or two of hay, straw, fodder or feed for the cask is hand at highest market price? If not, will they come and take the cow as a gift t and come quickly 1 for starvation, at an early day, is inevitable. And if she die thus, "let no man write her epitaph!" The Banquet at the Hamilton House. The Sapper and Hop at the Hamilton House on New Year's evening passed off most delightfully. Young and old participated with the keenest -zest in the festivities, and between wit, and dance, and choice viands, kept up the fun till the "wee, small hours." The turn out was as large as expected, not withstanding the inclement weather, and the arrangements reflected much credit on the Committees having them in charge, and on our good-natured friend Hearzzu. and his excellent lady. The following toasts were read by R. IT Jones:— OrE HOOT AND HOSTESS.—The rich and bountiful repast provided on this occasion at tests not only their skill and success as cater ers to the public and to the CULTIVATED taste of their to-night's guests, but speaks volumes for the profusion'of their stores and the ca pacity of our appetites. We have FED,—they SITFERED, and so have the FOWLS. Now, "on with the dance !—let joy be unconfined." By Dr. T. W. Ross : THB LADIES.---"And man, the nermit, sighed, till woman smiled." So said the poet of our great progenitor,and little we wonder. Were he here to-night, he would not only .01611, but be us HIS KNEES. Capt. B. F. Campbell Capt. CAMPBELL, of the I.Bth Pa. Cavalry, paid a brief visit to his fiiends in this place last week. He is looking excellently well, And was most cordially received by his ac quaintances.

Mutsfox HosfmcsoN, of Morgan township, in this county, was found dead in his bed at Mrs. Rush's hotel in Jefferson on Saturday morning last.

This work will also give, when com pleted, an impartial and graphic descrip: tion of the various military and naval engagements of the war, with the heroic scenes and incidents in the camp, the cabin, the field and hospital, together with a biographical sketch of its heroes. The history will be embellished with nu merous fine engravings. It will be sold only by canvassing agents. Mr.J. T. Headly, as most of our readers are aware, is one of the most popular of American historians. He is favorably known as the author of "Napoleon and and His Marshals," "Washington and His Generals," t&c. The agent for this work will remain in the county but a few days. His object is to canvass for sub scriptions for the work—in doing which, we commend him to the courtesy and patronage of our citizens, and trust he may meet with success commensurate with the rare merits of the book. Whiskey. Whiskey has gone up to a dime a drink here and elsewhere, and is understood to "include all the different brands running through the gamut, commencing at genuine old rye, then gradually descending the scale to 'Red dog,' Boomerang,"Sharp 's Rifle,' 'Bust Head' and 'Corn juice'---dowu to the de lectable stuff sold at the beer saloons under the cognomen of 'Stomach Bitters,' a villainous compound of raw alcohol, sugar, and the oil of carro way seeds." The local Editor of the Harrisburg Union, doubtless in anticipation of "free drinks" during the approaching session of the Leg islature, or a prospective scarcity of the arti cle on his "beat," or in a selfish desire to absorb more than HIS share, coolly remarks, 'lf the rise in the price of whiskey will have a tendency to lessen the consumption, we I shall be pleased to see it rise to a dollar a drink." It would make little difference to Huan, of the "Clipper," if it cost five dollars a "siug," but we thought better things of our down-east friend. Leap Year. The Ladies should remember that the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-four will be bissextile or leap year. It is so called because it leaps over a day more titan a common year ; thus, in common years there are 365 days —in leap year 366. It is the admitted right of the ladies to "propose" this year, and we trust they'll make it a brisk and successful business.— Bachelors, however, would do well to re member what a hen-pecked husband said not long since, "Before marriage, I fancied wed ded life would be all sunshine ; but after wards I found out that it was all moonshine." Won't Pay. We learn that the Commissioners of Bea ver county have refused to pay the bounty to volunteers offered by the convention.— They want to be indemnified in case legisla tion is not procured, legalizing the act, and the securities are not forthcoming.—[Pitts burgh Chronicle. ,Our Commissioners received quite a cat•hauling from Republicans hereabouts for not doing what the Beaver Board refused to do. Wonder if they'll like the conduct of heir Beaver friends any better ? The Only One I Our generous and good-natured friend, ' MORGAN BELL, Esq.,.of Morgan tp., made us the only holiday present we received. It came in the shape of a 15 pound Turkey, and proved Morgan not only an excellent judge of poultry, but a man who knows how to appreciate worth, good-looks, genius, &c., &c. Long may he bloom Accident, On New Year's day several lads were amu sing themselves on the common north of town firing a cannon, placed there the even ing before. One of the number, with a hot iron rod, let the cannon off, while two of the boys, David Lindly and Elijah Adams, Jr., were a short distance in front. The load was discharged, setting their clothes on fire, and burning the former severely in the face. Revival. Rev. M. Tilton held a Protracted meeting with the Bates' Fork Baptist Church, com mencing Saturday, Dec. sth, and continu ing 10 days. Twenty-six persons made pro fession, and twenty-three have been baptized. Many of those added to the Church were heads of families.

We are not only deprived of the vast corn mills of that country, which previously supplied the v/hole army, but the vast machine shops extensively organized at Knoxville. Beside this, it cut off from us the coal, iron, and copper mines which were worth millions. The copper rolling mills at Cleveland, which were burned, formerly turned out six thousand tons of copper per day. This was the only copper roll ing mill in the country. 40-The "Government" pays the trans portation of soldiers to and from their places of residence, when they are sent home to vote the Abolition ticket. But when the corpse of a soldier is sent home from the field, or hospital, the friends have to pay the expenses, amounting to from one to two hundred dollars.— This looks bad at first sight, but when we reflect that a corpse can't vote, it is not so surprising after all.— These reflections are suggested by the fact that a poor laboring inan, a friend of ours, has been compelled to pay over a hundred dollars for the trans mission of the remains of his son, while his neighbor's son was sent home alive, at the expense of "Government" for the purpose of voting.—Bloomsbury Democrat.

A child was once walking through a strange country, led by his father's hand. The lov ing parent had pointed out to him, far away in the distance, the home to which they were going; and new the child's mind was troubled, for the road seemed to feud quite another way. "Are you sure we are in the right path P' ho would often ask. But his father's only answer was, "Trust to Again the little questioner spoke : "I can not see how we shall ever get there by climb ing this steep mountain side.'' Still the reply was, "Keep fast hold of my hand, and fear nothing." So the father and son went on their way until, -hen the little feet were very weary, a sudden turn in the raad, wed them that they were at home. Now, it is in such a way that God often leads his children. They are like the little one who was so puzzled about the way.— "What will become of us ?" they often ask, "What will be to-morrow ? or next year ? or twenty years to come ?" Now, such ques tions are like .the child's. The proper an swer is that which the father gave to him, "Trust." "Do what is right now—to-day; so when to-morrow comes you will find that God is taking care of you and helping you still, and in the oud all will be well." THE DRAFT !

The use of three bottles of these Bitters, at the beginning oil the present year, was followed by evident relief, sad restoration to a degree of bodily and mental vigor whichl bad not felt for six months before, and had almost despaired of regaining.
