The Grangers in Council. Tbe meeting of the Pennsylvania estate Grange, which assembled in Eighth Annual Session In fCreensburg, West moreland county, on .Tuesday, the 14th, and closed its work ou Thursday night, 10th inst., was oue of. tt:e most interest ing and important meetings ever held by that body. Over three hundred inembers.of the Order wece in attend ance, representing fifty-two.counties. The anneal statements, of the Treas urer and Secretary show the finances of the Order to he in a healthy condition, And the reports .of State officers and Deputies indicate quite a revival of .membership during the year 18S0. Col. V.E. Piollet, who has served well And faithfully as Master of the tate Grange for four years has, emphatically declined a re-election, and asked to be .entirely relieved from .office, but was prevailed upon to take the chairmanship of the Executive Committee. The board of ofllcers elected to serve for the ensuing term of two years is as follows: Master, Leonard Rhone, of Centre county; Overseer, Seth Iloagland, of Mercer county ; Lecturer, Dr. Jas. Cal der, of Dauphin county ; steward, j. R. McCurley, of Union county ; Assistant Steward, J. E. McGeary, of Westmore land county; Chaplain, W. H. Holstelu of Montgomery county ; Treasurer, Wm.

The next meeting of the State Grange will probably be held In the eastern part of the State. Loss of a Valuable Horse. Ou Tuesday evening about six o'clock, while Mr. Jerry M. Greenawalt, Got ernonlleyt's coachman was exercising one of the fine horses of the Governor's team of bays, In the shafts of a' cutter, and while passing the vicinity of Boas and Second streets, the horse fell and In jured oaeof Us fore legs. Mr. Watson, the well-known veterinary surgeon of the Adams express company, wbb sum moned to examine the injury, and stated that the animal had broken Its leg and the best thing that could be done with it was to end Us .misery by killing it. This was accordingly .done. The horse was removed to Purdix later in the evening. The animal was the best in the span, a very speedy single driver. The cause of the accident was the "ball ing" or clogging of the space in the in ner surface of the shoe with snow causing the horse to fall. The animal was valued at $200. fy OniFrlday,. December 10th, J. C, a son of Mr. J H. Oris well, formerly of Scotland, Franklin county, and now residing in Ablline, Kansas, had his leg broken. .From the Ablline Qazctlc we learn the following : He-was coming to town on horseback, the animal became frightened and stum bled and fell in crossing a .ditch falling on the boy and breaking his right leg below the knee. Three ladles, residing in the vicinity of .Detroit, on their way home from Ablline, found the helpless boy by the roadside, procured assistance to place him in their wagon, covered him with their shawls and a comfort, aud conveyed him to the residence of his parents. Keep off the Track. The following decision was made in the supreme court of Pennsylvania, re cently. We print it for the benefit of careless persons who persist in walking on the railroad track in preference to places provided for that purpose. " Except at crossings, where the pub lio have a right of way, a man who steps his foot upon a railroad track does so at his peril. The company has not only the right of way. but it is exclusive at ail timeB and fcr all purposes." " It also ought to be equally well un derstood that persons who permit their children to trespass upon the track of a railroad, are guilty of negligence. It is not only gross but .culpable negligence, as it imperils the lives of the children so trepassing, as also the lives of the traveling public." Equalizing the Load. ".Uncle Rufus" Hatch was going down Fifth Avenue from a champagne dinner one day, when he met a big man carry ing a small satchel, and a small woman carrying a big baby. "You brute," shouted Mr. Hatch to the husband, "At you don't take that child this instant and carry it, I'll break every bone .in your body." The man took it.

Lentz, an aged farmer of Low er Merion, Montgomery county, went into a cow's stall the other day to see that the trough contained enough of water for the animal.

Washington is busily engaged putting on holiday atllre, nature doing her share by send ing us a heavy fall of snow. The holiday season promUes to be one of exceptional hap piness and brilliancy. There will be too, more happy children here than usual this Christmas, if one can judge by the large number of pres ents displayed in the stores, and the many bandies conveyed mysteriously from said stores to tbe homes. of our people. There is good reason for these signs of thrift and plenty in tbe unexampled prosperity of our country, the sound condition of our currency, and the gen eral feeling of confidence among business men. How different from the condition of European countries compared with our own. the statis tics of the world show that of all the European Nations, England and the Netherlands are tho only ones who are at all reducing their heavy load of debt. Germany, with her millions, is in a deplorable condition financially. Her revenues are decreasing, her expenditures are heavier, and as a consequence her National debt is rapidly increasing. In France prosperity is general, but nevertheless she Is not reducing her public debt nor her expenses. Io fact, by every European country with tbe exceptions named, more money Is owed and less Is being received than ton yean ago. In the United States we are reducing our debt at a rate sur prising to ourselves, and the envy of the civil ized world, while the interest rate upon it Is merely nominal. Proportionately our expenses are less than at any time In our history, and loss In the same way ihs'n any other Nation on the Globe. These facts have got out. ' The secret Is too good to keep, and In consequence we see the population of Euiope, with the exception of "ranee, gradually drawing to our shores. Especially from Germany and the Bcandanavlan Peninsula Is the emigration larger than ever, tn fact, In Germany one cause for the presont distress Is accounted for In the large numbers of her citizens leaving their laboi and It's profits and bringing their wealth, if any, with them and from which this country is the gainer. Under these circumstances, It Is no wonder the prominent men of Europe are now addressing themselves to the study of wealth and population, the causes which are impoverishing Europe, and enriching America, and endeavoring to find some means to mitigate them. . In America there is freedom, room, and plenty for all, and as long as there are these, this country . will attract the poor, and oppressed of every Na tion. V Congress adjourned to-day, until January 6th. Compared with other sessions of Congress this one has nothing to be ashamed of In the amount of work so far accomplished. Four appropriation bills have been passed by tbe House and much other legislation of a general character has been acted upon. At present there Is not much expectation of tbe necessity for an extra session, without more useless political debate is had. The withdrawal of Governor Foster from the Senatorial race In Ohio causes much satisfac tion here among the friends of Secretary Sher man. Olivi. A Magnificent Newspaper.

Goon Company, ($3.00 a year, Springfield, Mass.), Number Fifteen, has an account of a steamboat trip to the head of navigation on the Missouri river by Mr. Herbert Hall Win slow, which happily combines Information and incident, and Is not wanting In graphic de scription of scenery and experiences with In dians, etc. in that litttle-known region of our vast Northwest. One of the novel and char acteristic occurrences on the trip was a free fight among some of the steamboat hands.
