The ADVERTISER avails itself of the approach of the Holidays to wish its readers, one and all, the compliments of the season, and to convey a message of good cheer and fraternal friendship into every home where it goes to spend its \First Christmas.\ The ADVERTISER'S \Holiday Greetings\ will appear next week. On-tthc first page of this week's issue, wilCbe found an interesting article on the subject \Is Man a Progressive Being?\ It is the first of a series of articles, to be written for the ADVERTISER, by a gentle- •ir.a I well-known to rncny of our readers. As the question is one that is almost univer- sally answered in the affirmative, it is creditable to the writer's pluck and orig inality to undertake to discuss the subject from a negative standpoint. ''Conserva- tive's\ articles will prove interesting reading, and will at least tend to show that it is a pretty jug-handled subject in which all the argument is on one side. AN EXPLANATION. -'• We are informed that the opinion pre- vails in certain quarters that \Anti Na- b6b\ (A. N.) is, or has been, one of the Black lake net-fishermen, whose business has been interfered with by the enforce- ment of ttje game law. \T justice to,£. N.;-and others, wno may be wrongly suspected of the'author- ship df his letters, as well as tor the in- formation of the general public, we would say that our correspondent, A. N., is not, and never was a resident of the Black Lake vicinity, and there is not the slight- est shadow of reason to believe that he ever has been, either directly or indirectly, interested in the net-fishing business. A. N. is one of Hammond's most high- ly respected citizens, and his views, whether right or wrong, maybe taken for what they are worth as his individual opinion, uninfluenced by any personal or pecuniary motive. The ADVBBTISER welcomes fair and courteous correspondence upon subjects ot any and every kind with which the public have to do; believing that it is only by agitation and discussion that the near- est approximation to TRU'WI and RIGHT can be attained. LOCAL IIE.IIS . Merry Christmas. ....At the St. Law. Co. Teachers' As- sociation to be held at Norwood, Dec. 37- 30. Principal Geo, H. Cobb,' ot Ham- mond, will read a paper on \.History and Principal Zenas Clark, of J/orria- town, will discuss the ''jl/otric System, 1 ' Commissioner Lewis and Principal T; B. il/iickcy, of G'ouverneur, arc also down for papers on educational subjects. A man who resides near the Luth- eran church, Black LaRo, and who is not noted for any too inuc'h of the commodity known as \common sense,\ got so abus- ive to his wife recently, that she entered a complaint before a J. P. A dose of \law\ had a salutary effect upon him, and on promising to stop flourishing knivos and becomo a dutiful husband, the forbearing wife decided to give htni one more trial. * 0U^|ENT EVENTS. The Opinion* unal Couimciitu of Xiiu- otliy Vhoninaori. \ \For the ADVERTISER.\ So Plattsburg is going to have the \Northern New York\ insane asylum! Who would have thought it? Truly, the unexpected has happened. Alas, for the uncertainty of \appointments in these latter days of Civil Service Reform. Ogdensburg was sure of it. The most prominent citizens and astute politicians, including General Curtis and Daniel Ma- gone, himself, were delegated to \work\ the visiting committee, while inspecting the 'Burg last summer. The Mayor and Aldermen fairly outdid themselves m po- liteness to the said committee. They treated them to the finest Henry Clay ci- gars, etc, and provided the best tally-ho coach in the city and visited half a dozen sites, anyone of which was just the thing for a lunatic asylum. The committee were pleased with them, in fact highly pleased, but with one in particular, situ- ated somewhere on the Lisbon road, they were perfectly delighted. The Journal said so. That was the spot where the much coveted asylum was going to stand, But, of course, the committee had to go through the form of visiting other places, and after partaking again of the hospi- talities of their generous entertainers, they took their departure for PlattsDurg. And now, after several months' patient waiting, comes the announcement, like a thunderclap in a clear sky, that the \Nor- thern New York\ asylum is to be located away off in Plattsburg! All Northern New York, and Ogdensburg in particular, should protest against it. Let them make a present of the Plattsburg asylum to the lunatics of Vermont, if they want. to. Let Ogdensburg demand, through Assem- blyman Curtis, another asylum tor North- ern New York. The same visiting com- mittee ivill aoagftin, only let the Ogdens- burg people be sure that they have the last chance at entertaining them. Thai's where Plattsburg got the start, * * * There seems to be great rejoicing in New York over the conviction of \boodle\ Alderman McQundo. The Judge is prais - ed, and tne prosecuting attorneys are com- plimented and the jury is lionized beyond measure. And for what? Simp y because they brought in a verdict in accordance with public clamour in winch they them- selves shared. It is quite probable that McQtiarte was convicted in the minds of the entire twelve men before they took their dents in the jury box. The first jury were abused by the Judge, the prosecution and the 'newspapers because they declined to convict on the evidonceof self-condemned perjurers, a privilege that the Judge in his charge accorded them. As a vesull, no one'could afford to act on the no:-t jury, if he intended remaining in New York, unless he went in to convict. The last jury may huvt given a just verdict, but I believe the first jury were the most conscientious of the two. I notice thnt the young people of Hani-, mond, and some not exactly young, are agitating- a toboggan slide. That, is right. Hammond needs a slide of this kind. People should not give themselves over so much to the acquirements of worldly pos- sessions that they cannot, enjoy a little; amusement now and again. The Aihamii says that our young ladies are anxious for a toboggan slide and if the Hammond' young men arc of the right kind of ma- terial we will have one. It remains-to lie- won whether they .are or not* While climbing the hill of prosperity let us take time for an occasional slide dowti the liill' of pleasure. * * * Hammond is justly regarded as a well- to-do town, but our people are not as en- terprising as they ought to be. There are ', visible signs .of aq improvement iu this direction, and I think the ADVEHTISEH is largely responsible for it.. For instance our town paper advocated fixing the long crossway, and at the earliest opportunity an appropriation was v.ited by the town for that iiurpose. It called attention to the need of sidewalks, and money was promptly subscribed and first-class side- walks built It pointed out the necessity of a new Marvin hill bridge, and the new structure is already begun. It noticed the absence of signs in our shop windows, and now we have them. It suggested a bell for the Presbyterian church, and a consid- erable sum of money is subscribed for it. The value for good of a- live newspaper in a town cannot be over estimated. * * * Hammond also needs a town hall, a substantial building for town purposes. Prom, a business standpoint, it would be a paying investment, and, besides, it would look as though the people of Ham- mond intended living here right along, and were making things comfortable tor themselves. Iu conclusion, alow me to wish your rpadersnn enjoyable Christmas and the very best kind of a New Year. Timothy Thompson. •» <j m •» « • HAMMOND MARKETS. Butter 16 to 20 cts. per lb'.
