MAPLE LODGE. Since election farmers are awaitinrr for

tin- millennium of prosperity which the H< publicans promised if they were victor­ious. Wc are afraid their waiting will be like ibnt of the Millerites. Yes, ye farm­ers, get on your grave clothes, climb the highest mount, perch your anxious bones in as cosy and comfortable a position as possible, then wait for protection to make you happy. Potatoes are being hauled to the starch factories for 30 cents per bushel and they are good market stock, SO much for the anticipation of Republican rule.

lowing resolutions were unanimously looking brighter. There is hardly a doubt but what it was the great strain upon the

burrow E<*ea|>e. Mr. Jacob Reynolds of Ingralum, and

his daughter Idi , were crossing the ice on foot from l>le L i Molie to Saxe's Ltn.ling. (the ice being too thin for a h o r s e Mon­day, Dec. o l . The ice In ing unsafe ihey ventured along very carefully- Mr- Rey­nolds was engaged in trying the ice near a dangerous looking place in ab >nt the middle i f the l ike, ids tiaujrhter being several yards behind when without a mo­ment's warning Miss Reynolds fell in. She was encumbered with heavv clothing and il was with considerable difli -ulty that she was lest ued by Mr. Reynolds. The ice looked dangerous but they thought they could cross as they had crossed it the day before from Saxe's Landing, and it was very necessary they should icacli home that night. A word to the wise is sufficient.

Deserted Village, etc., ike. Next c-jm'e a large number of smaller

views, embracing a great range of Adiron­dack subjects, and finally there are four st-purate printed in colors, series, with torchon binding, embracing the Hudson from its source downward. Long Lake region, Lake George, tfce. No comparison with former pictures taken in this region can give an idea of the excellence of these. The si /e of them gives a great advantage at the start, and an extraordinary fineness of detail has been secured bvT use of the latest and best improvements in the puoto-graphei's art.

Unlike former series these pictures are nearly all taken on the southern slope of the Adirondack plateau, and they can hardly fail of finding a large demand. Mr. Stoddard has done much in the last fifteen years, with his pen. pencil and camera to attract public attention to the great northern wilderness, but this last work is in its own department the best of all.

Cgly Convicts at Daunemora. The enforced Idleness of convicts in Clin­

ton prison is bearing its legitimate fruit. On Wednesday of this week convict Van Dusen attempted to stab a comrade, with u scissors blade which he had wrought in­to the shape of a dagger. The attempt was made while the convicts were under­going their regular daily exercise and hav­ing missed his aim the first time the would-be assassin was seized and over­come.

On Tuesday night a negro convict suc­ceeded in breaking a hole through the wall of his cell and got out into the hall and made an attempt upon the life of night keeper Van Gordon, throwing a hammer and iron bar at him, he having in some way got possession of these ugly implements, by the aid of which he had winked his way thus far towards his free­dom. He was seized and taken care of without doing any harm.

Work of some kind is what the con­victs want. The present system breeds bad habits, disease, mischief and crime, and turns the prisoners out in a worse condition than when they went in. Pub­lic safety and public good demands that State prisoners should be taught some trade or occupation through which they can earn an honest livelihood when they are discharged, if they choose to do so .

adopted: _ Bcwlvcd, That the thanks of this asso

ciation be tendered to the secretary and all the members of the Young Men's As­sociation, who so kindly gave to this as­sociation the booky whicn belonged to them, aud which with the books uought by the generous donation oE Mrs. S. F-Vilas, has enabled the Railroad Young Men's Christian Association to found a li­brary of about 1,500 volumes, a library larger than has ever been before got to­gether in PlaUsburgh, and which, we trust, may at no distant day be iucreased ten fold.

liexvlved, That a copy of these resolu­tions be published in our village papers.

Since the office has been moved we under­stood that there has been a system of boy­cotting and a private mail carrier to aud from the Peru office. If that i3 so we are very sorry and ashamed. A thing of that kind to show a spite would do or could not be expected different from some old woman or those illiterate.

B Y ORDER OF COMMITTEE.

WEST PLATTSBURGH. The "yo«7iy lord" eighty-nine, arrived a

night or two since. I think he came in the rain. Troops of friends were ready to meet him, and it has been a "happy New year," for young and old There was a gathering at the W. M. Church New Year's evening for the benefit of the Sunday-school. Miss Codie Meader aud little Miss Mildred Meader, were among the speakers "I'm sick o' living," says the head of our house. It is merely a small matter of debt and credit, l i e can not makelonc cancel the other : there will al­ways be a balance on the debit side.

h had reached the 1). it H. station left the train. After lie had landed the train moved on to the depot, and Mr. Arnold attempted to follow it ou the track, when reaching the culvert or bridge over the road leading to the south cluck, he fell through, fracturing his knee pan in three

; places, and other .vise badly bruising himself.

i He was taken to Tappan's hotel and Dr. ! L\ M. Lyon called and reduced the frac-; lure and dressed his wounds. Mr. Arnold

is brother of Henry Arnold of Peru, and ; also of the late Slukely Arnold of Schuyler ; Falls. He is doing well but it is thought

that it will be some time before he can be removed to his home.

' Found Dead. j Antoiue Martineau was found dead at ' the edge of Lake Champlain near the foot j Boynton Avenue last Tuesday morning,

Jan. 1. The body was found in shallow water, and he probably perished from

drowning. He was an old soldier of the 118th N. Y. Regiment and lost an arm at Fair Oaks. His home was near Tread-well's bridge, about four miles above PlaUsburgh, and it is thought he started on New Yeara eve to visit his daughter, who lives at Dead Creek, and missed his way and stumbled into the lake while in an intoxicated condition. A Coroner's jury for the case was called by Justice McLean, and the verdict was in accord­ance with the above facts, as disclosed by the evidence.

KEB3EVILLE. The recent thaw and rains resulted in

high water in the Ausable and the going out of the ice on Thursday morning last week The last Sunday of the year was observed with appropriate and interesting sermon in our churches. Owing to a de--fect in the furnace the M. E. Church was closed The new cemetery of the Church of the Immaculate Conception was blessed on Thursday. There were ten priests in attendance and the ceremonies were highly interesting The Misses Helen Prescott and May Fordnam have this week been the guests of Mr. Rufus Prescolt's family.

George Stuart, Bert Kincaid, Will Brewer and Cassius Clark are spending a few days in camp near the Lake shore south of the village. "Hunting" for fun.

The B'Xlv of Harry Barnard Found. The Vody of Harry Barnard, son of H.

£ . Barnard, Esq., who was drowned at the mouth of the Saranac river on Christ­mas day was found on Wednesday of this week some two hundred yards below where the accident occuired. Search for the body had been prosecuted during about every moment of daylight by citi­zens of the town with whatever appliances could be got, and on Monday last Mr. Joseph Jelly of Ogdensburg arrived here with a diving suit and a thorough explor­ation of the bed of the river was com­menced, from the fatal spot downward. The apparatus was that ordinarily used

by divers, being a suit of rubber, with helmet aud armlets, fitted with water tight joints, aud an air pump. The diver gets inside thi* suit, with his ordinary clothing on, and when the joints are ae-cured he is Incased iu a water tight cov­ering, haviug no access to tbe outside world wcept through a rutruer pipe coupled to an opening in the helmet.

G. A. K. installation. The installation of the newly elected

officers of Walter H. Benedict Post G. R. It. will take place on Friday evening next at 8 o'clock. In a former publication of the list of officers elected, the name of George C. Stiles as "officer of the guard" was inadvertently omitted. One of the prin­cipal features on installation evening, will be a "Camp Fire" which will abound in songs, speeches, recitations and reminis­cences of camp life, not forgetting- to mention a bounteous supper prepared by

the ladies of ibe "Women'! Relief Corps." Friends of tbe G. A. R. are cordially in­vited to be present.

MOR1USONVILLE. After so long a time the Baptist Church

of tl'is ville, have at length united their factious sufliciently to secure the services of a pastor. Jtev. Geo. Clough entered upou the duties of the pastorate on the first Sunday of Advent. There was a soci­able at the parsonage, held the evening after ChiUfmas, for the purpose of giving Mr. Clough an opportunity of making ac­quaintance with his parishioners, and of taking a collection for paying for repairs on the church in tbe fire department. The prosperity of Christians, as I look at it, depends wholly upon tbe blessing of the Lord. If a pastor seek* his own advance­ment rather than the glory of God, he loses the heavenly blessing; and if a church member bates bis brother, and is never COMdona that he does wrong him­self, why, he makes a great spot on his own religion, and if he does hot repent, I have a fearful doubt that the. pearly gates will never stand ajar for aim. There ia nothing better than the "blessing of the Lord" upon a church .There was a Okxistmas Tree at BraadwoU'a ball for the beaeflt of the M. B- Ibaaday^ebool.
