Wherevtr on this planet the Caucasian race predominates or members ol it lire, December 28th, will be observed and cele brated aa the birthday of Jeaua Christ, the founder of the Christian Religion. It is a day given over to happiness, mirth making, feasting and present giving, and in the latter tks alder folks are greatly as sisted by that *>ystericos befog, Kria Crin gle, who comae down the sooty chimney, and fills the stockings hanging at the fire side, with good things and pretty things; and the hop* aad faith of the children in Kris Kringle Olostrates the hope and the iaith ol the adnlts ia a batter life beyond the grave as proved by the resurrection and ascension ot Jems Christ.

"Glory to God ia the Highest, aad on Earth peace, good will to men." Riad something good to-day. Take down your Bible aad read the sermon on the mount. It may astonish yon to hear it, bat there really an some people wfco try to gorarn their eraryday conduct by the precepts of the sermon oa the mount Judge Htm is entitled to credit for his efforts to bring W. D. Wallace Esq. of New Castle to Justice. Of the four men iadicted by the Lawrence Co. Grand Jury, he waa the oaa people were moot anxious to eee punished aad his eecape waa through no fruit of Judge Hasan. Rxmxmbbb the children to-day: "there can bo no explanation that will satisfy the chilled hearts and broken hopes of ohildren when Christmas ia robbed of its merry features. It is the day to which the child looks thronghont all the seasons of the year, and the home should be without dis appointment to the little ones on the day that brings happiness thronghont all Christendom." Rkmkxbb* the poor, to-day: "Let it aot be forgotten that there are the poor, the friendleaa, the sick to be oared for on Christmas day. Ho family should sit down to a bountiful Christmas dinner without the added happiness of having seat sun shine to soma home of the children of sor row. Not only shoald the heads of the family illustrate the charity taught by the lowly Hasarane, bat every child able to lisp His name, shoald have some part in tempering the afflictions or wants of the mfortunate.

A special from New Castle dated the 21st said:— Attorney Wiateraits did aot go to Phil adelphia Friday, aa reported, to secure a * writ of habeas oorpas for Tate, Shaffer aad Downing, bow sarviag a three months' sentence for ooatempt of Court The fact is that Mr. Wiaternits is at preseat ia this city aad has aot been to Philadelphia latety. The application • re ferred to will bo made aa soon as possible. The court has ordered the entire reoord of the proceedings ia the eases to be made up for submission ia case the writ is granted. The question ia poiat is on the validity of Judge Hasea's ruling that the prison-era could answer questions in the W. D. Wallace prosecution and their answers not be available as evidence against themselves in their own trials for bribery. A MtJRDiB trial that attracted the atten tion of the civilised world wu completed in Pari* last Saturday. The male murder er was sentenced to be beheaded, and the female to twenty years of imprisonment. Several months ago a woman of the town, named Qabrielle Bompard, took an at torney named Gonffe, who wu known to carry large soma of money on his person, to her room; and while sitting on his knee, passed a loop of the dlk cord she usually wore around her waist, around his neck, and passed the end through a pulley over head. This waa eaught by a villain named Eyraud, concealed behind a curtain, and Gonffe was strangled and robbed; his body was pot in a sack and some effort was made to dispose of it. "With the money thus obtained the eeuple took a trip around the world, going eastward, but when they arrived at San Francisco, their money was done, and Eyraud induced a gentleman whoee acquaintance he had made on the steamer to take the woman, whom he had passed off as his daughter, baek to Franoe, while he went by another route to Cuba. When she arrived in France the papers were yet talking of the murder, and she confessed to her new lHend that she was the woman mentioned in the accounts. He induced her to go to the police station, and make a statement, and of oeurse she waa held; and Eyraud was arrested and taken back to Paris. The tiial came off last week, and the scenes in it would have been astonishing to an English or American audience. Eyraud oonfeesed, which of course meant death for him, and he waa determined that Gabrielle should meet the same fate. The two prisoners were questioned in each other's presence, and were allowed to contradict each other; in feet the whole trial, lasting a week, was a series of squabbling matches between the two, with no attempt at dig nity by either the Court or audience, which was composed ef the notables of the city, admitted only by tickets. Another feature of the trial waa the attempt made by Gabrielle's lawyer, assisted by a certain school oi physicians, to prove that she had been hypnotised by Eyraud, and was not, while in that oondition, responsible for her actions. The audience approved or criti cised the proceedings as they progressed ( and on a dark day yelled for more light. The "affaire Goaffe,"asthey called it, seems to have been the best circus the gay Paris ian! here attended for aove time. NEIGHBORHOOD NOTES. On Wednesday last the Dauphin Co. Court annulled the charter of a Turnpike Co. of Venango Co. for failing to keep their road in good condition. Geo. Winn,sup't of the five-alarm system of Allegheny City ww electrocuted last Friday afternoon. While up on a pole repairing a line, his "creeper" cut through the insulating material of an electric-light cable, and the current passed through his body, causing instant death. lie fell headforemost from the pole, and *«.< dead when picked up. Hon. fm. Maxwell, the oldest member of the Mercer Co. Bar died at his home in Greenville, on Saturday the 13th inst. At Bearer Falls last Saturday.a plumbei bored through a floor and into a child that was sitting directly above him, inflicting a painful wound. Man who do not vote will not serve on Lawrence county juries any more. Judge Hasen has issued an order not to place in tl»# jury wheel the names of men who are too careless or too pronounced in their notions to go to the polls and vote. The Pittsburg Presbytery of the Reform ed Presbyterian Church found the five of its ministers who were on trial before it guilty as indicted of the sin and scandal of following divisive courses in advocating the admission of voting citizens of the United States into their congregations. Sentence was im mediately passed suspending them from the exercise of their ministerial functions ontO they repent. Over in Lehigh county there is likely to be a political revolution next year. The county officials are building a pig 6ty on the poor house farm that will cost $3,000, and the farmers, who pay for this hog palace, are disgusted and grumble vociferously at a policy that provides costlier quarters for the hogs than they themselves possess, in cluding lands and buildings. The Emlenton Xetc* goes for the Rev. Royers, late of Franklin, Pa, as follows: The people of the Baptist church of Burlington, lowa, refuse to accept the evidence presented by the Baptist church, of Franklin, regarding the immoral and beastly conduct of Euclid B. Rodgers, and at a church meeting last week, "exonajat ad" him and tendered him a call to become permanent pastor of the church. This the infamous brute accepted. The evidence presented by the Franklin Baptist Church is the truth and nothing but the truth. Any one knowing the people connected with that congregation, knows there would have been no action against Rodgers bad there been no cause, and he would have been their pastor still. The manner in which the life of Rodgers was exposed by the Franklin Jfetcs added to the corroborations of his conduct by reputable people, should cause the Baptist people of Burlington to shun such a hypocrite. He is unfit to as aociate with swine, let to associate with Christian people and act as there spiritual advisor. HeU is full of such low lived, ignominious rascals. The Directors' Meeting. Owing to the almost impassable condi tion of the roads, the directors' meeting at the Teachers' Institute on Thursday after noon was but poorly attended. It was after two o'clock when Mr. D. B. Douthett called the meeting to order. A permanent organization was effected by electing Mr. Douthett, Pres.; Mr. C. M. Brown, of Harrisville, Vice Pres., and C. M. Heineman, of Butler, Sec'y. Dr. Win ship, of Boston,then spoke at some length to the directors and was much applauded; M. N. Greer, Esq., of Buffalo Twp., open ed the discussion on the question "Should we have increased appropriations for public school purposest" and was followed by W. P. Jamison, C. M. Brown, James M. Gal breath, Esq., John Brandon, H. J. Kling ler and others, all the speakers being in favor of an increase. Dr. Hockenberry not being present, his subject was omitted. Ira McJunkin, Esq., then delivered the address of the day on the subject, "Im portance of auniform grade of study in our publio schools," and we regret that our very limited space will not allow of our publishing it in whole or part. Mr. Mc- Junkin presented the necessity of having uniform grades clearly and concisely, and it was a great pleasure to hear his address. The discussion following was taken part in by Supt. McCollough, Ex-Supt. Snyder, Galbreatb, Brown and Brandon, all of whom strongly endorsed the speaker and the necessity for uniform grades. The meeting then passed several resolu tions stating that it was the sense of the meeting that the appropriations for school purposes should be increased and that the County Supt. be instructed to prepare a course of study for the ungraded schools of this county and present same to the different hoards for their adoption. Prospect Snaps. The holidays are again at hand when the people should forget their past differences ana make the season a time of rejoicirg and good will. The Sunday Schools of the U. P. and Lutheran Churches will have Christmas trees for the edification of the little folks. Visions of "Old Chris and his tiny reindeer"' will disturb the sleep of the boys and girls for some time. The Odd Fellows will have an oyster supper at the Hotel de Boehm, on Friday eve, Jan, 2. A pleasant time is anticipated. Rev. Mackey of the M. E. Church, has been holding revival meetings here for a 'couple of weeks. We hope success will crown his efforts. Sam Graham has been granted an in crease in bis pension from ten to seventeen dollars per month. Sam sets up the apples now. Onr teachers were very well pleased with the Institnie. They look wonderfully full and wise, and we hope they will have mercy on the boys and girls by unloading slowly. There was a surprise party at >'els Btoner's, on Thursday eve, Dec. 18.

On last Saturday two of the oldest citi zens oi Butler, Mrs. Eleanor Cunningham and Robert McKee. Esq., were buried. More perhaps than the mere ordinary death notice is dae on such an event. We of the present day speak of them us among our oldest citizens, and so inded they were. But both of them were in fact of what may be termed the second generation of our people, for the parents of both lived and die a in or near Butler. These parents were of the first generation, among the early pioneers, and remembered now but by few living. And this again serves to admonish ns of the swift flight of time. All of the first and nearly all of the second generation of the people of this place may now be said to have pa.-s>d away. Mrs. Eleanor Cunningham died in tie 76th year of her age, on the 18th inst., at her home. She was the mother of Mrs. Dr. Samuel Graham, in whose family she lived, and of Mrs. Robert C. McAboy, of this place, and of Mrs. Rev. J. It. Coulter, new of Crawford's Corners, Quango # Co. She was one ot four children of W illiaui Campbell, Esq., one of the early settlers in Butler and who acted as a Justice of the Peace for many rears in this place, besides filling the county offices of Prothonotary and Treasurer. Her oldest brother, the late James Gilmore Campbell. Esq., died here some five years ago. and her sister, the late Mrs. Bradford, of New Brighton, Beaver Co., Pa., about two years ago, thus leaving of the four her brother, Mr. Win. Campbell, Sr., the only one yet remaining among us. Mrs. CunDingbatu was a woman respected by all our citizens and by all who knew her. In every sense she may be said to have been a good woman Born and living here all her life she grew up with our town and saw it change from a small village to its present proportions and prosperity. As Rev. Oiler well expressed it at her "funeral exercises, it seemed like the cutting off of a portion of our town when one so long identified with it was taken away from it. Her husband, the late Robert Cunningham, died many years sgo. He, with his brother James Cunning ham. came here when young men (about 1830) and engaged in the mercantile busi ness, building a store house on the corner of the Diamond now occupied by the present new National Bank, where they kept for many years one of the largest stores in the place. The house was sub sequently occupied as a printing office, our present fellow citizen John Q. A. Kennedy, Ksq , among others, publishing a paper there. It was finally removed, about 18 years ago, by our fellow citizen W alter L. Graham, Esq., to the southern end of Main Street, where it yet stands. The funeral services over the remains of Mrs. Cunningham were conducted by Revs. W. E. Oiler and S. Hall Young, of the Presbyterian church, and while very impressive, were marked by their sim plicity. The interment was private. Robert McKee, Esq., died also on the 18th inst., in the 74th year of his age. lie also came of one of the old families of this thin county and lived in Hutler township, west of town, until within the past few years,when he removed to Cutler. He was "the last or three brothers who all occupied a prominent part in the public affairs of the county, llis brother John, deceased some vears ago, was Sheriii o! the county, elected in 1854. and his brother Hugh, also deceased, was County Surveyor, elected in l&iO. Kobert acted as Justice of the Peace for his township for a number of years. He was father of M r. James A. McKee. one of the present editors of the Democratic Herald, who, with a sister, are left to mourn his loss. He was a man noted for his independence of character, his sterling honesty and his disfavor of everything wrong or unfair. As a citizen he was use fnl, kind and liberal, lie leaves no enemies behind. His funeral services were conducted by Kev. McKee, of the 1". P. church, of which he was a long time and consistent.member. They were largely attended by relatives, friends and citizens. What is Catarrh Catarrh la generally understood to mean Inflam mation of the raucous membrane of the head. It originates In a cold, or succession of colds, com bined with lmpuro blood.

One of the guardians of the poor of this place handed me a letter received by a physician from the Chief of the .Depart ment of Charities of the city of Pittsburg, in answer to an inouiry as to the possible chance and probable cost of having a pan per taken care of at the City House or County Poor House. Following is the letter: ALMS HOCSK, DEC , IS. I^SO. favor of the 17th inst is before me. liod help the poor ot Butler county, for they get a poor show from the authorities. We have already one or n.ore they have dumped into our city because they were too mean or parsimonious to provide a house or otherwise care for them. I shall endeavor to have a law passed by the next Legislature compelling all the counties to take proper care of their own poor and to send the insane to hospitals. You can send to Dixmont by orJer of court or on proper certificate. Our city home and asylum is only for our own poor and unfortunate. Yours, <£e. Gentlemen: This letter may not be in tended for publication. It is on a subject of public importance and I use it in an open letter to call your attention to what 1 conceive to be a duty under the_ act of Assembly approved May and a supplement to the same act approved March 24, 1877.
