A few days aore, and its shadow will have , drifted :orever from among us. It has been a ;nod, pleasant year to many of us, strew - - lig untold blessings on our paths, and gowning life with unfading loveliness. i'o others it has brought only griefs and sorrows, shattering the sweet shrines of • lope, and pulling down from their pleas : . , nt niches all the deities of the house mid. Some it has brought to the mar •iage altar ; others it has carried to the ;rave; some it has crowned with halo of !onquest, where the reaper's song 'floats nor the summer fields of Life; others :t has shrouded in the shadows of defeat, -rendered desolate by the baptism of De- Tair-___Nany a :strange„ thing__ and won, ferful has there been performed in the. -ear ISS-1! The Old CrYn is going ra pidly hence—what testimony shall it bear of .u 4 at the Great Tribunal ?

MODEL DEMOCRACY The 1 - )lunleer finds great consolation in Jude Porter's silly charge to the Grand J itry in Wayne county, in which he threatened the Know Nothings with in dictment, imprisonment, &e, The Vol mitre,. is now happy to believe that the "infamous organization is fast approach ing a position from which it will not he able to escape !" Thu Volunteer's abuse has only had the effect to strengthen the American- feeling of. this county, and now it would "take the law" of the "in famous organization." What a model of kan,yary the Volunteer to be sure ! Indicting and imprisoning men for their opinions, and advocating the abolition of' the ballot—such are the Volunteer' s dentocatic principles! Genuine Demo crats of Cumberland county, what think you of such doctriffes? LIVELY Timms is nnanisisvita, The Harrisburg Telegraph anticipates a lively and interesting time there during the month of January. The Legislature will convene on Tuesday the 2d, bringing with it.the usual number of applicants fur office, and pests in the shape of " bor ers." On Tuesday the 9th, the Musical Convention will assemble, and remain in session for a week, closing with a grand Mu,ieal Festival in one of the churches. Oa Tuesday the 16th the Inauguration of Gov,-PolloCk will take place, attended military display and participated in by thousands of the " Soverigns" from dif ferent sections of the State. On Wednes day the 17th, the Prohibition Mass, State Convention will assemble, when there will be a grand rally of the Temper ance Hosts of the old Keystone. By the way of variety, there will be a quantity of amusements in the way of theatres and concerts.

PROF. TIFFANY'S ADDRESS. The eloquent address upon "America and her Institutions ; " by Prof; 0. H. TIFFANY, , recently published in the herald, is very flatteringly noticed and freely- quoted from by many of our ex changes. Among others the Harrisburg Telegraph thus speaks of it : "We have read, with much pleasure and p o 't, an address' recently delivered by` holy, O. H. TIFFANY, before the Union Fire Com pany of Carlisle, on the'subject of "America and .American Institutions.' It is produc tion creditable to the head and heart of its talented author, genuinely eloquent, and embodying 'sentiments of the purest and loftiest American patriotism. Prof.TIFFANY,. young though he he, has already acquired a reputation fbr ability and eloquence of which !Iv men of his age can boast. He early' ideldthed himself with the _American move ment. "First in Freedom's cause to stand, The champion of his native land," his zeal ard eloquence, and untiring effort, contributed largely to the success_ of the cause in the old Keystonealitate, at the late election. Prof. TIFFANY is one of the first class men, and his erniuent abllitics fit him to adorn any position in life. lie , is an' imeriorn all °reliand the patriotic young men of Pennsylvania are proud to acknowl edge him as a leader in the great work of Americanizing America. We should like to puhlish Prof. TwrisY's address in extenso, but for want of roots arc obliged to confine ourselves to a lwief notice Of one or two of its general features." _ . "We know that it has long been the opinion o f the great body of the Whigs of this county, that the /I-raid itself was much too dull, and needed the sharpening process to make it a I,9•ru and effective organ of their party."- -l'obtotee.r.. • 'fhb Vbluntecr know) , the opinion of the great body of the 11/rigs olthis coun ty—of course it does—and we must not doubt the assertion of a print so distin guished for its regard for truth ! But if the Whigs of the county have a habit of runnin , , , to the Volunteer office (such very probable story !) aini saying such unkind things behind our back, we are happy to knoW that it is not exactly the way they treat us practkolly. The Yol teer is - it very brilliant paper, of course, with a very modest editor, and the Herald a very dull one, (Heaven knows no one is more conscious of its short-comings than we) but, 'nevertheless, we have many gratifying proofs of the good opinions of the Whigs of the county. The . subscrip 7 tion list of the Herald hag nerrr gone bark t:ard since it came under our charge. On the contrary, it has steadily gone for ward, and at no time more rapidly than since the recent change in its form. Can the Volunteer, with all its * OfTrontery, say as much for its list ? We doubt it. MUNIFICENCE.—We understand that Judge lielfenstein, a large coal proprie tor, has dedicated forever, a valuable and productive goal estate, in the Shamokin Coal Basin, for the benefit of the desti tute poor of New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Lancaster, Carlisle, &o. The corner-stone of a Free College, at Sha mokin, to be endowed with the proceeds of another coal estate, was laid on Thurs day; and also a coal estate dedicated to the benefit of African colonization.— The occasion was one of much interest. Gov. Bigler, Bishop Potter, and a num laer of prominent citizens of the State, were present. BOTH Willa AND DEMOCRAT.—It is a fact, full of significance, that Senator Adams, of Mississippi, a .Pemocrat, and Mr. Taylor of Tennesssc, a Whig, have intreduced to the different branches of Congress,•the alteaation or abrogation of the Naturalization Laws. It is no' party measure—it is the will of the AMERICAN NATION ! a_„Francis J. Grund, the Washing ton correspondent of the Philadelphia Led yer and Baltimore Sun, it is said has been promised by President • Pearce the appointment of Consul at htrseilles in France. .11c is a Prussian by birth and a Swiss by profession. His appointment would he au insult to the country. - Yollll'l. tr TUE SATUIMAN EVE;rllitl MAIL has now .commenced a new volume under the title of "Graham's Saturday .

The present year commenced with two Whig' Governors of the States of the Union, In several, of the States, elec tions for Governor have since ,been,held, and in all the Free States except New Hampshire, to the discomfiture of the National Administration. In North Caro lina the Administration candidate was elected by a greatly reduced majority. The following are the Governors in the Free States : Now York—Myron 11. Clark,,Whlg Ponnsylvanin—Jamcs Pollock, Whig. MusAnchusetts--11..1. Unrducr. K 110 W NOthillg Maine--A mem P- orrill. A u tl-Nebraska Democrat Connoetient--Ihmo Dutton, IVhig. Michigan—Kim ;ley S. Bingham, Repub Town—Jamos W. Gri mes, Whig. Vortuont,—Steption Boyce, N,Vlttg. Bliodulslancl—WilllaL. W. Hopping, Whig Seven - of the nine States above named had Democratic Governors last- year. The "popular revolution" has effectually crushed out Democracy in the Free States—there is scarcely a vestige of "the party" left to tell the story of its destruction. _TintonAm YouNfi's St_J(JcEssoß.—The :Washington correspondent of the N. Y. Evening Post is informed that Colonel titeptoe, the new Governor of the .M,or _mons, is_ a consciencions, dotted man, of the Eniseopal faith, and a member of that church. The govern ment:expects no difficulty, and thinks it about certain that on his arrival at rtah, Brighain - Toting will receive a despatch . from Heaven requesting him to resign, whereupon, it is supposed, he will resign, beitigr'content for the rest of his life with the dignity of high priest among the saints. ROM AN ISM.:---The N.. Y. Tribune has lately published an extract from the Civ ita Cattolira, a Roman Catholic journal, published at Rome, under the Pope's.sit pervision, showing that the Pope claims the power of absolving the sulijccts or ell- Lens of foreign countries from their al legiance to the Governments under which th e y lice. The existence of Romanisw as a religion in.this country, ',vould. be of little consequence, under our laws and practices of toleration, were it not for the fact that, with the religion they profess, is connected a dependence on a foreign power, capable of absolving them frum an allegiance (t) our government. Consicm DAnnAtitt;one of the most eloquent and distinguished lawyers and politicians in western Pennsylvania, died at his residence in Pittsburg on Friday morning, after an illness of only a few days. Ile has served with marked abili ty in the State Senate of Pennsylvania, in'the.United States House of Represen tatives, and as Attorney General of this State, to which post he was appointed by Governor Johnston. llc was an arden t 'Whig, but has always been very popular in Pittsburg with all classes of people. U. S. SENATOR FROM lOWA.---The Legislature of lowa met in joint conven tion on the 14th, and made an ineffectual effort to elect aU. S. Senator. The Dem ocrats all voted for Dodge; but the Whigs and Fusionists, who are in considerable majority, could not agree upon a common candidate. The election was to be at tempted again on the 2Jst. IMPORTANT DECISION.-PIIILADEL PIIIA, Dec. ::Ist.—JusticeT Black, of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, to-day gave a decision in several cases from Allegheny couty, where an alderman had fined ta vern keepers $5O for selling liquor on, the Sabbath. The defendants claimed the right of trial by jury, denying the jurisdiction of the alderman. The decis ion affirmed the judgment of the magis trate; holding-that such .-cases were not suits at common law, but criminal pro ceedings under a special act. All the other Judges agreed with this decision except Judge Lewis, who contended against the whole principle of summary conviction'as an invasion of the right of trial by jury. 1=1:11111111 te — We tender our readers the cent plinients of the S ttason, and wish each and all a happy Ne‘w Year. • STATE SENATE.--The death of Levi Fonlkrod, member of the Senate from Philadelphia, and the absence of Senator Bucloilew, another democrat, may give the. Whigs and Americans the ascen dency in the Senate at the organization. A debate on Know Nothinisin took place in Congress on Monday week, Mr. Barry assailing the new movement in alengthy speech, and Mr. Banks defend ing it. The new order seems to have a number of members of both Houses, reF. resenting both the old parties, enlisted in its support. Mr. Banks is a Democrat from Massachusetts. Jae" The legislature of the State of Florida has just elected the Hon. David L. Yulee, Dem, Sena & from the State fur six years from next 4th of March, in place of the Hon. Jackson Morton, Whig. ,1163 - I tis said that the House Commit tee on Foreign Relation's have agreed unanimously to report in favor of , Mr. Clingman's proposed mediation of the United S,tates in the pending European EIS 18 6 .Ciov. - Reeder, of Kanias, baring offended the Missouri don, _headed by Atchis n, by his independent course in his new position, we see it stated that the Southeren Democrats in Congress are clamorini , ig-to:h- -e ( -him dismissed; In_George Washington Lafayette, the grand son of the friend of America, i s now staying at Washington.

The large building known as the City Assembly Rooms took fire while the Tailors' Society were holding a ball, and the dancers had barely time to escape to the street in their ball dresses. The building, which extended front Broadway to Crosby street, was totally destroyed. An adjoining building on Broadway, celebrated in former years as the Olympic theatre, but now oceu pied by stores, all fell ii‘prev to the devour ing element. The total loss is estimated at ninety thousand dollars. HOUSE OF REFUGE ,13URNED.—Thfl, work shops of the House of Refuge in Philadelphia were burned on Tuesday. They were occu pied for the manufacture of chairs, slates, rattans, &e. The main buildings were un injured. The fixe is presumed to have been the work of an incendiary, as no fire is used in the building, and it was doubtless com municated by one of the boys, by applying a match to a large pile of rattan, which was at the south wing of the building. The loss cannot be correctly ascertained, but it will doubtless reach somewhere in the neighbor hood of $50,000., which is fully covered by insurance. The Bulletin estimates the loss at:s62,ooo—two thirds insured. NEW CENT.—It is said that the Mint will issue a new cent piece in the course of a few days. They will be considerably smaller than the old cent pieces, and form a beauti faland attractive copper coin. On one side is the head of Liberty, and the thirteen stars being omitted, the surface is plain and pol ished. The - reverse is the same in design as the old cent, but brighter and much mor-e -finishe- There is a certain amount of alloy mixed with the copper, and the perfection of the die gives to the coin a finish and ele• gance that has never heretofore been attained' in our copper coinage. THU SHORTEST DAY.—On Thursday last occurred the Winter Solstice ; the sun beiq only nine hours and fourteen minutes above the horizon—rising at 71 and setting at -I 33. In some, parts of Europe the sun is, on this day, something less than eight hours above* the horizon. Day, now, will soon begin to lengthen.
