Clirismas next Monday, nee Sunday, and the leading question is: •• What-yer-goin- to-givc-niu!\ Everybod y who has any- thing tu sell acts as if everybod y wns go- ing to buy. Everybody wbo has anything to give , feel as if be or she ought to give something to every body, aud ev e ry bod y thinks bu , sbu or it oug ht to get some- thing from somebod y. Thero will bu , of course som e disappointments , but tbo ma- jority of our peop le will be enabled to start on another campai gn in life ' s battle wiib iho assurance that they are not en- ti r el y lorgotten—and that is li rst-class ammunition. It is well to control our ex- pectant ideas at this season . If you look for a piano and only get a jewsharp, put up with it. If you look for a goose-quill tooth-p ick and draw a bouse and lot with three mortgages ou the same premises , put down with it . If you don 't ge t any- thing at all , just take a cent ' s worth of chalk and fi gure up that out of Uncle Sam ' s sixty odd millions of p e op le tbo ma- j ority are in the same fix—but dou ' t cry about it. If you can ' t be real happy your- self don ' t keep others from being happy. Bu t if you can only g ive an extra doso of bantiinoss to someone else, no matter at how sli g ht a cost , do so—and know that yon have done as well in tbo j ui gment ol Him whoso day this is , and who said . \ unto the leas t of these , \ as he who spends bis thousands. And now a merry Christ- mas to us nil , and as poor , lame Tiny Tim said , \ God bless us , every one. \ J. R. & J. II. Perkins have (it is said) bought the entire water power at U pper Mills witli a view to pnttim; in a plant to suppl y thu village of Riverhead with elec- tric, lig ht. I hope it yrill succeed. One business mau in thu village will not bu likely to taku any stock in tho matter. He says bo can get home all ri g ht any- night witb a lantern—if it don ' t blow too bard, lie is pretty old , b ut I suppose be will live some years ye t—though I dou ' t know why it is necessary. Last wuek a tramp named Mr. George Marsh , Esq., was graduated from our jail. H e made close connection s wi\li F. Kl e in ' s shoo store antl stole a pair of boots. Ue was soon arrested , and said be did it on purpose to get good winter quarters in tho model jail. Justice J. L. Millard gave bim an order for three months ' board. Jailer Madden will try lo mako it so pleasant for the guust that be won ' t want another season ticket. Last Fritlay Ge o r g e C , Corwin antl Her- ber t C on klin , an emp loyee of Mr. Corwin , wero cutting posts for a fence. By some muans Conklin got near Corwin as the lat- ter raised his ax for a blow , a n t l was struck a vory severe blow in the face by tho back ofthe ax. It is a severe , thoug h not serious injury, and was , o f course , au accident. L as t Fri t l ay Deputy S h eriff Griffin t oo k George Gabelin , the Breslau murderer to the insane asylum at Utica , under an or- der made b y Justice Brown at the special term of court this month. There is no d o ubt wha t ever a s t o G ab elin ' s insani ty, and , be being an old man , it is not likely that he will ever appear among us again. On Thu r sd a y O. A.
