place, was lately a passenger on a train
of the Missouri Pacific R. K. which
came very near being thrown over a
high bank and into the Missouri river,

—Since the Legislature has pflftsed
an act compelling school boards to par

—Mercer county's late sensation,

—Franklin, Pa., was lately the
scene of aa alleged miracle. The Jwife
of Rer. Bloyd, who had been sick in
bed for some weeks and whose disease
was prooounced by her physicians to
be cancer, and incurable, suddenly
arose from her bed and wont to the
church where they were praying for
fear, and led in the prayer meeting. It
W'as pronounced to be one of those
wpnderful cases of cure by prayer that
have been-reported from different parts
of the country, but Dr. BnoWden, one
of her physicians, who was interview
ed regarding the matter thinks "it is
all bosh." - He nays he was called to
■M Mrs. Bloyd some time ago, and
after a thorough examination of her
ailments, said that she could not be
cured, that she was afflicted with one
of those peculiarly distressing cancers
that are incurable and that patients
suffering from one of these cancers
usually lire from eighteen months to
two years, and that during that time
they will bare many weak spells and
•gain they will revive till they appear
In almost their usual health. Mrs
Bloyd is a woman of a peculiar nervous
and hysterical disposition, and there
was nothing in her case that would
prevent her, uuder some extraordinary
excitement, be it religious pr any oth
er kind, from getting up out of bod,
dressing herself and walking a mile or
so. There is nothing surprising or su
pernatural to me about it, for it is the
qatural course of the disease. At
times its victims will be very low and
then they will rapidly recover to ap
parent health and strength, but as a
matter of course such recoveries are
only temporary, lasting for a greater
or less period of time, owing to the
condition of the patient.
• "Then, Doctor, asked the fintervicw
er, you think there is no reason why
in the next eighteen or twenty months
there could not l>e a score of just such
r 'miracles' worked on the same subject ?"
"There will be, very likely, a num
ber of just such recoveries before the
..disease accomplishes its final work,"
said the Doctor.
—Go to J. P. Orr's photograph
gaMery and set for one of those fine
Xtbiopt p.yturt-8 be is now turn Log out.
Chrißtniu.
The new faith and the new hope
that the Babe ol Bethlehem brought to
a world whose culture was a mere
gilding on a framework of barbarism,
was the foundation of all that makes
man to-day, and is the only real
strength by which civilization holds
its own against the forces that seek to
retard it or to destroy the monuments
marking its progress. Straight as the
road that ran from Home to the north
ern wilderness, ptust morasses in which
it did not siuk and over hills that
could\ot prevent its advance, the path
of Clristiau endeavor and Christian
conquest runs from the manger in
S3fia to the very centre of Nineteenth
centurv enlightenment and life. The
Dark Ages, the persecutions, the
agony, and the wars that have left
their marks upon this '"highway of a
king" are lorgotten now, or live only
as moral encouragements to this age
in perfecting that which was so nobly
commenced in ages when liberty of
soul meant imprisonment or d'-ath for
the body.
No wonder, then, that the holie3t
holiday in all the year is built upon
the day when tLe Beginning of all this
greatness found a being. No wonder
then, that for a brief season, all men—
whether believing Christ divine or
human yield to His influence, and in
forgetting self for others, reap the only
real happiness of this life—that of
making others happy.
Many of our store keepers have
made special preparations for this sea
son and for the benefit of those whose
I tim»* for shopping is limited, we make

be desired both as to quality and price.

"Mabel Dell" writes us to ask "what
shall I give my young gentleman as a
Christmas present ?" That's a hard
question to answer, Mabel, dear, but
the CITIZEN will try to put you on the
right track. You might buy bim a
pair of No. 10 Arctic rubbers for ear
mufflers, or immolate the family cat on
love's altar and make bim a sealskin
cap, or butcher the dog and manufac
ture a pair of fur gauntlets from his
pelt, or buy him a pair of ten cent
socks, and if he dou't wear them out,
yoo can use them for jelly strainers
after you are married, or study econo
my, Mabel, darling, and buy him a
house and lot, and theu give him your
self. But, Mabel, the very best thing
you can do is to call at Chariey Grieb's
and buy bim a handsome fur cap,
neck scarf, pair of gloves, or in fact
any of the beautiful things in Gents'
Furnishing' Goods you can see- in
Charley's show window or show cases.

A person who wishes to make a
present to a lover of the weed, whether
he be a smoker, chewer or snuffer,
should by all means visit the establish
ment of Mr George Vogeley, where
can be found a large variety of hand
some meerschaum and brier pipes,
cigar holders, suuff boxes, fine cigars,
tobacco, etc.
Mr. H C. Heineman has made
very elaborate preparations for Christ*
mas. His stock includes so great a
variety of goods that it is impossible
to enumerate them. But
If a present you would purchase.

Go and *et? bis Christmas treasures
And secure a gift that's nice.
From the one whom you make happy,
These fond words will greet you ear :
"May you have a Merry Christmas
And a Happy, bright New Year."

—THE CLEVELAND HERALD gives
eight more columns of matter every
week than any paper in Cleveland.
This fact taken in connection with the
fine picture of President Garfield,
which is sent to each Weekly subscrib
er, is placing THE HERALD above all
competitors.
THE CLEVELAND HERALD offers to
refund the subscripiion money to any
one who is not satisfied with the pie
ture of Garfield, that he sent to all
subscriliers of their Weekly. THE
HERALD is tbe only paper in Cleve»
land that is sending a premium to its
subscribeis.
No home in the State should be
tvifhout a good picture of our late la
mented President. THE CLEVELAND
WEEKLY HERALD is seuding. securely
protected, a fiue picture of Pfei-ideut
Garfieid, iuches in size to each
of its yearly subscribers. This picture
is so good that THE HERALD offers to
return tbe money to any one who is
dissatisfied with it This is the bold
est offer ever made by a newspaper,
