Sel- lets of the Tazewell Republican, publish ed at Pekin, 111. we 'regret to announce expired at his r_esidenee in that place one day last week of typhoid fever. Previous to the late war Mr. S. was editor and proprietor of the Fulton Republican, and one year represented Fulton county in the Lem'- z ' • ooliticiau an a courteous gentleman. SLElGnma.—Since the fall of .snow last, week the weather has been very cold and sleighing fine, especially on the turn pikes. Those blest with time and the -necessary appliances have been turning the sport to a good account. On Sunday, -the-coldest - dayithemercurrity - the - mern= ing fell two degrees below zero. Since the temperature has been more moderate, and for the sake of our scanty "coal pile" we hope it will continue so. - Axo!rHun TURKEY.—We have again been made the recipient of a "fat gobbler" as a Christmas present; from our genial "don't care" democratic friend, Mr. Fred.

May Mac. never want for choice fowls or other good things, and live to enjoy the festivities of many a Christmas day in the far future. A FIRE.—The engine house connected with the Steam Tannery of Mr. L. S. For ney in this place, was destroyed by fire about 2 o'clock on Saturday morning last. In the evening, owing to some defect in the pump, it refused to work and the hands were compelled to remove the fire from the grate. In doing so ashes and sparks were carried to the second floor, where about $l,OOO worth of hair was stored with oth er goods. Although Mr. F. thoroughly examined the premises as late as 11 o'- clock, at, 2 in the morning the building was enveloped in flames. It doubtless originated from a spark on the second floor. The loss is from $2,500 to $3,000, upon which there is no insurance. But for the fact that the morning was calm and the roofs of the surrounding buildings covered with snow, the loss might have been much greater. With the pro gress the fire had made when first discov ered, with• dry roofs and high winds, it would doubtless have been iinposible with our present worn-out, leaky old engine, to prevent its spread to other buildings. For want of a better fire aparatus property is in constant peril. HORSE KILLED.-A young man nam ed Franklin Harnaker, of this vicinity, met with an accident as Saturday even ing last, which cost him a valuable horse. He came to town in a sleigh and drove up to the store of Messrs. J. W. Miller & Co. for the purpose of hitching the horse, but one runner striking an embankment of snow overturned the sleigh. The 'ani mal took fright and ran into the adjoin ing alley. In passing the Walker proper ty it came in contact withfafpointed rail which projected from the fence, which penetrated back of the front leg to the depth of twelve or fifteen inches. By a backward movement it released itself and ran about one hundred yards and fell dead. LOCAL Orrrox.—Tho4Legislature of Pennsylvania passed an ast last Winter prescribing that once every three years the citizens of the various counties of the State should vote upon the question of li cense. If upon counting the votes the ma jority of them in . , any cou4y shall be in favor of no license, it then shall not be lawful for .the Court of said county to grant any license for the sale of any spir- Units or intoxicating liquor • during those three years. The first vote taken upon this question is to be taken at the Spring ele..licn, the third Friday of March, '73. TEE Po f tnt. - :—We clip the:following as aoP l 74priate at this stage of the 'season; irons the Figton Democrat:' ; "Ye who have never felt the bitter pangs of hunger, who heie , never passed through: dreary winter with chattering teeth and limbs palsied with cold, who have never prayed for the sweet fergetfulness of slgp, to Shut out . for a brief season the frost whose „icy breath' strueka chill to Your heart, and who have never been a prey to the canker _worm of grief and misery, which alLthese sufferings entail;- we Pray you, be kinitto the poor 1 Be kind to the poor 1 Yes, for the bled: sing of prosperity which Heaven has show ered upon you,: vill yield you - trite hap piness,if others are stitrvingi Heaven las pliced you on earth, has . exposed you to like chances of want and wretchedness.— In. a pharisaical spirit, then, thank not *God "that you are not as other men';" but rather with publicans sue humbly for mer cy, and enhance the efficacy of prayer by charity and kindness.

RAILROAD AGAIN.-=After so many in effectual efforts to induce our citizens to secure the shortest and most economical Branch connection-with -the-W,M,R.-R., we concluded that it was best perhaps to drop the - subject-altogether-and spare the feelings of many patrons not particularly interested in the movement, awl,would , not now refer to the matter, but simply to show that such an , end is attainable be yond all peradventure, and to this fact we call the attention of the public. • A re sponsible party connected with the W. M. R. R. proposes to construct a line of road ready for the, supers' tructuie within twelve months for the sum of $150,000. The citizens of our town and country are naked to raise jointly a-stock subscription of $50,000, or more if they can, and issue first mortgage bonds to the amount .of $lOO,OOO, or less as the case may be. Of these bonds the contractor will take $5O O . 000 at par, leaving the balance to be dis posed of here and elsewhere. If this party is willing to risk such an amount of bonds might not our people share the risk of a similar amount. All things considered, a more favorable proposition is not likely to come from any other quarter. As be fore said the party is responsible and has made the proposition in good faith. No one can question the ability of our people to raise a stock subscription of $50,000 Why hesitate any longer then under cir cumstances so favorable ? For the , sake of the suffering interests of both town and country we appeal to our snore active bus iness men to heel this proposition. LEAP YEAR.—The privilege of ladies choosing husbands is thus explained in a work entitled, "Courtship, Love and Mat rimonei," printed in 1606. "Albeit it is now, become a part of the common lawe in regard to social relations of life, that as often as leap year dosh return, the ladyes have the sole privilege, during the time it continueth, of making love unto the men, which they do either by words or looks, as to them it seenieth proper; and, more over, no man will be entitled to the bene fit of clergy who dothe refuse to accept the offers of a lady, or who doth in any wise treate her proposal witho slight or contumely." Blessings brighten as they take their flight and we trust our ladies will mike the most of their privilege, and coat into the matrimonial state some st aid bache lors that seem proof against Cupid's ar rows and the charms of sweet woman;— The shortness of the time will oily require more vigorous attacks. Take them by storm. • .TRESPASS BY HUNTING.—From the fol lowing, given by an exchange sheet, justi ces of the peace generally have overlooked an important law and decided cas es against complainers' a.without warrant for so doing. The act of April 9, 1790, provides that "If any person shall presume to hunt or carry a gun on any improved or in closed lands of any inhabitant oft hit; State, without permission of tne owner, or shall tire a gun in or near any public !aighwuy, and shall thereof be convicted b•dore any justice of the peace, he shall for every such offence forfeit the sum of forty The Supreme Court: of Peni`sylvanitt decided, May 11, 1869, in the case °Mum vs. Borden, that several sections of that act, including.the above, were still in force, aid that offenders may be summorily.coo victed upon information laid before any justice of the peace.

CLOSING OF TNE PUBLIC , Saloom: 7 — On Friday evening tie 20th ink" a large appreciative audience assembled in the new school-building to witness ' the first literary entertainment id.'the public schools of this place. The. doors were o pened at half past 6 o'clock and the ex -ereiseS commenced at quarter past seven, by which time the gall- F as.filled;. At a tap of itle bell by the Principal the audi ence came to order, and the evening's pro ' gramme .opened with music,. solo and cho rus, which was followed by an invoeatwn from the .Rev. Mr. .Keedy,.,&.. M, A neat stage was constructed for the ()ces sion and appropriately decorated with flags festooned on both sides, while a drop curtain painted by our artistic friend, Geo. G. Filkington;adorned the centre. When the curtain raised, the interior of the stage presented equally as good taste as the outside. it represented a drawing room,..which is decidedly the only. proper taste of arranging a stage for an exhibi tion. The exercises consisted , of music, essays, tableaux,-dialogues-and-declamations.--- The character of this first anniversary was highly suitable to the school in every respect and evidently deserves the counte nance of patrons of education. The de livery of the productions was creditable ; there was no disgraceful "sticking' as school boys call it, but all the speakers seemed to know the secret that to say a thing well you must know it well. This - was - reall - y - one - of - the-pleasant-featutes-of the-exercises-,-as--halting-or-sticking-a ways mars a speaker's performance more than any other faultt. Occasionally theta was an indistinct utterance in the speak ing of some, while a loose . pronunciation of words was the error in others ; an ac count of which we lost some good points. If there is any one thilig in public speak ing more difficult for young speakers to acquire than others it is that of gesticula tiop, and it was the principle defect of the performers. uent than During the progress , of the exercises, the evening was interspersed with instru- mental and vocal music. Among the singers we were able to distinguish sever al promising voices, if care is taken of them in the future, a rich, pure and 'Pat ural voice is a gem, but when it is culti vated;it is a polished ruby. - According to the order of the programme, theessayists came first, and each in turn gave us quite respectable compositions. The essay on "Hope," by Miss Bell„ was especially well written and finely finished in its rhetorical pauses ; while those of Misses Balsley, Richardson and Funk were only weakened by their brevity. From the essays we pass to the declama tions which were spoken by Messrs. Gei ser and Jefferies of the high school. The former speaker had something genial in his manner, and in the last part of his speech the comic was rendered so well that he - left the stage amidst loud applause. Mr. Jefferies had the boldest effort of the evening and evinced rgpre experience . in public speaking than some of the young er orators: 'He held the attention of the audience admirably until he stopped to take a sup of water, which no young speak er should accustom himself to do at any time. At the close of the declamation one of the best songs was introduced, and I gave a renewed zest to the performances. A debate was next in order. The ques tion for discussion was, Ought a man obey a law that he thinks is wrong: The af firmative, Mr. Maurice Eyler, spoke of a, Nero, Caligula and Benedict Arnold, and showed - their weak side to a considerable advantage over against his opponent, Mr. Middoux. • His delivery was easy and the arrangement of his arguments good. The negative side of the question was not as well handled as the positive. The order of the debater's matter was confused, or else disarranged by its unhappy deny.: ery. The negative was the strong side of the question, but became weak by the skill of the affirmative. "All is well that ends well," was the subject of a dialogue that was carried on by Misses Effie St,onehouse and Maggie Nevin. Miss Effie's wise council to Miss Maggie's girlish excuses was acted out well by both of these ladies in their respeotive parts. At this juncture of the programme we were suddenly surprised by the first Ta bleau, viz., "The astronomical paradox called 'the new moon in the arms Hof the old." The scene was comic, and receiv ed a hearty applause from the juveniles, and at the same time amused the sage of fifty. The next tableau deserves special men tionfrom its rare success and beauty. As the curtain gradually disclosed the scene there was a breathless silence over the audienee, who were filled with admiration as they beheld the fairy form of one lady apparently suspended in the air like a guardian angel, while another was hold ing a wreath of flowers over a ydung girl reading out of the Lamb's book of life. This was truly grand, and carried with it -the highest tone of art. The name of the tableau was "Light from behind a cloud," and was performed by the Misses French, lialsley and Nevin. The next' act was of a similar charac ter, and was to represent a wedding. The partiep presented themselves with maids .of honor and partners before toe clergy man, who performed the ceremony with as much silence as the bridal party . an- swered yes. As the evening was passing away, the programme was also reselling its finale in the way of Ili:dialogue between some five or six different persons. The little dratita was of a spicy nature and filled with glow-of hntnor. The Irish ~s ervant girl acted. up her part true to the Irish cjtar acter. The doctor, in whose employ she was;""entrusted her with the care of his oil ,fica a.ttd_ the dispensing of.medicine. to his patients in his absence- She' seemed to be delighted with her trust, eagerly gave out to Afte 'patienoAhe, first bottle, which s'he ?lima her hands on, and very often on the wrong medicine. - After the doctor cafes hilme;ptitient after patient returned and said that he had given the wrong medicine through. Mrs. O'Fla:nigan. This of cours& occasioned 'a confusion in the reception. , room, and more particularly when a ghost appeared to the physician and said that he was the victim of his negligence. • The whole entertainment closed with a eulogy on George Washington, - written by Robert Hoover. We were prevented from hearing this discourse owing to the noise in the back .art of the Hall and the low tone in which it was read. But from what we know of the gentleman as a writer, we would suppose that it was good. Thus clo . sed the first entertainment of Waynesboro's Parnassus, a success, and a benefit both to their schools and their citi- D. J. BAR-ROOM LOAFERS.—An exchange gives the following excellent advice to the -class-pf-men-who-hang-about-hotels,-and ake-theinselves-so-obnax-ious,not-e to the proprietor, but to the guests. When you enter a hotel; it there are' no more than three empty chairs; occupy them all, if possible sit directly in front of the stove, and then growl about poor fires ; If the landlord wants to replenish the fires, do not discommode yourself by moving to one side to giCre him room, but sit still— what right has a hotel proprietor that a loafer should respect? If a paying guest arrives don't make room for him near the stove or offer hith a chair, because he is foolish enough to pay his bill, and help to keep the hotel lip for the accommoda tion 'of your loafers; pick up the daily papers, but do not read more than three hours, as some of the guests may want to look at h ; if there are more besides your self reading, you read aloud, it will not annoy the rest. If you should want to buy a two cent Cigar, wait until the land lord is busy at something else, let him get almost half through, then call him and ask him if he can't give three for five cents; if he cannot, tell him you can get them across the way. After you have kept him talking sometime, go out . and leave the door open ; it's a public house,'you know, and you can do as you please. If he Should complain, tell your friend that he is not fifto keep a hotel ; then tell him what you would do if you were . proprietor. COAL OIL EXPLOSION.—Last Saturday evening about 6 o'clock, the citizens of Keedysville were thro*n into a state of excitement by the announcement that Mrs. Durham, wife of J. Nelson Durham was horribly burned by an explosion of coal oil It appears she was engaged in filling a lamp while it was burning, when the flame caught and scattered the oil through the loom, burning up a lot of clothing, &c. There being no one in the house at'the time to help the unfortunate woman, she ran into the next house, when Silas Buck and Josiah Mades smothered the flames with a piece of carpet. She is burned in a fearful manner clown to her waist, her face, neck, hands, and arms being roasted to a crisp. Her sufferings are excruciating, and she lies in a very critical condition.—Boonsboro' Odd Fel low. BE CHEERFUL.—There are people virlio are constantly bemoaning their lot.-- When they . look upon the circumstances of others apparently more fortunately sit uated, they become envious and covetous. Contentment is a jewel that poor human nature seldom discovers, and yet it is the only one that can render us really weal thy and happy. There is no burden but what can be heavier ; there is no misfor tune, pecuniary or physical, but what has its counterpart in the experience of oth ers. We are not the only unfortunates in the world. Then, let us look upon the bright side of life, and the Pght of hope and resignation will chase away much of the darknesss. OBE Berm LEASE.—Dr. Win. S.
