With lliia lMsuc v coiiiintnt'o llio 27th volume of the 1ht, and it in with nmcli nlcusure that wo look buck over tin? year that in past, for it lias Wen imu'kiMi hh tin- uioht prosperous one in tin? history of the paper. We ar now permitted to look with pardon alle pride upon ft nubseriptiin lint of twelve hundred fmnd-Jhte fctib xcrilierH. Our effort h have heen t rowned with ho much honent en couriiirenunt and irood Ici-Iini; on the part of our huhscliherx that w feel happy -happy because ot mo eich nce that our labors havo been appreciated. lhouchts of the .New lear are hopeful and joyous, a, heeding the lessons of the past, we press forward in the busy present, eager to try what the hidden future has in ntore. We inidit dwell on the events of the vear that is oast with mingled mo tions of ph asure and pain, for it lias been an eventtul one, mid Joy and muyow have mingled in the ex pcih nees of our readers and of our self : protit and loss have tilled their re.-Oeet ive eolil.us on t he ledger, as deluge or drouth have maintained a parallel account on the face of the country. We turn rather to the duties, opportunities, and labors of the present. Our t'llicient corps of correspon dents, our advertisers, and our paid up subscribers are our stall' ami support, and by their assistance we hope to make the l'osr still better, and though we publish a Republi can paper we arc n party's pawn, and will treat our many democrat ic readers with the most deserved consideration for we will uphold the right and dt notice wrong wher ever found regardless of party, creed, or ism. It would be unpardonable in us not to send with this lirst number of the New Year our cordial good wisheH to all our friends. Iu this we not only follow ti very pleasant custom, but sincerely speak the wishes of our heart that the year may be a prosperous and happy one to every reader of the l'osr, to our beloved country, and to the world. 1889-1890. Jupitor'fl rnge shall no longer pour rivers from the mountains ; the weeping nkiea nhall no longer del ugo the earth. The black clouds rolling, rushing, dashing into each other like mountains of smoke from belching artillery, hhall no longer cover earth'H canopy with darkness nnd obscure the face of him who wears 1800'h happy promise. The scene presented now must bear no uncertain view while Hoi wields the sceptre, lie commands the thun der to stay its bolt, the lightning to hold its fiery tongue; while behind each cloud we behold a silver lining. Let us then, on this auspicious day imbibe nature's spirit, congratulate each other with new-year's happy wishes, nnd so labor, individually and collectively, for purity of mo tive, stability of principle, elevation of morality toward God and man, so that at hist when wo shall lay down the realist le. toils of lite, our happy souls may wend their way in to the realms of eternal happiness, where years are not known and time is no more.

While the fading moon in her al ternate course withdraws her light, ami the sitting stars invite sleep, the last leaf in the grand astronomi cal and eventful political book of the year lss; is just being turned ami we how our heads 111 reverence while the death-knell id the old year is being sounded. Vivid recollections of the past of pleasures enjoyed, of sorrows ex perieiiced. priveleges neglected amV improved, opportunities accepted and rejected, fortunes made and broken, character elevated and de guided, virtue exalted and debased, crime encouraged and restrained, pass with flushing rapidity through our minds, and in consternation wo wonder what the import is of this sjuctiid catalogue of mingled tr umphs ami disasters. Out of an ot her chaos, as it were, rising high above the midnight darkness, as if iu answer to our inquiry, Father J. line, with measured tread and in stentorian tones, declares to the lreiiiny sleeper that "He" has seal ed the book and lhK'J is now num bered with its predecessors in glit tcring figures on the pillars of eter nit.v. Weary of contemplation, the lonely sleeper falls calmly into ri ikiso, unmimllul ot visions, or things transpiring around him The darkness merges into deeper night. All nature is hushed, The hih nee unbroken, except the res honance of the doleful durge, ac eompaiiing tho departed year, when tune, ever watehlul, ever progrcs King, slowly lifts the sable mantle of d.uknessand the shimmering rays of lMMi's new -born sun illuminate tho earth and till the world with gladness ! noon earth s army ol sleepers arise, and looking east-ward, behoh the"monarch of day," arrayed in all the splendor and magnificence, o the celestial thrown, step into his cthcrial chariot, and lido gracefully through the emblaoued portals of the horizon into the high vault o heaven, bearing the lirainent's oroiu t of good wishes and happy new-year onward to its balmy goal, Siiamokin 1am. Christmas is over again, and as far as we know every one about this placo rather enjoyed himself. The Lutheran Sunday School had quite imposing exercises connected with their Christmas tree, The Chestnut Uidgo Hand enliven ed the place from morning till eve ning with choice music for which they have the thanks of the com tnunity. Some alwoys get more Christmas than others as was seen by the fenc corners they walked in tho evening. the thermometer registered !!) on Christmas and dandelion (lowers were carried as boquets something that the oldest inhabitants have nevel seen before. On Thursday the 2(ith u thunder storm passed over this place. Thun er and lightning loud nnd long, which was pillowed lv a sort ol cy- lone passing over head with iinibling noise that scared a good many and it was only its being so ligh iu the air that saved this place, for if it had been on the ground it would no doubt have wrought d structioii in its path. The new school house will be fin ished this week and school will begin next Monday. Daniel Jlettruk, our supervisor, is busy improving tho roads. Sam Slear has six men nt work sorting naxseed lor next summer s seeding. He is also getting his in eubator ready for spring work. Sam knows how to raise chicks without a ion. He would make a good am oviug husband to some grass-wid ow with a flock of children. Scott Hitter and "Win. Ihiiley should g. t a clean shave and hair cut, nnd a little water and soap might also make an improvement on their physiognomies. Louis Ritter took a trip to Cain len and returned with a bride Louis is a sneak and it he escapes the calithiimpians ho will do good. Squire (biughr has a small turkey he would like to trade on a largo one. "Hicks" cant you give him a swap ? Tho young people under tho di rectorship ot i'roi. u. 11. Uakciess will give an entertainment on Sat urday evening, Jan. -tth, for the school apparatus fund. The Prof, has done much already for the schools of Monroc.and wo hear ho is strongly urged to bo u candidate for utv uujM uui iniain j ii ri'iiui and we know if he will accept niu be elected their will bo a revolution in the school work of Snyder count V Ihe l'roi. has spent tilteen years hard work, most of it in Snyder coun ty, ami we hope he will not be throw n oil' from his homo entirely unrecognized. "Hiine" was homo from William port, where ho is employed at his father's mill sorting saw-dust. "Hecky" is happy. Ho got rocky horso for a Christkiudle. K. It.
