13113611 AND THE uoasns.
Bergh, the head of the Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Animals, got after the
horse our people the night before Christmas,
in a most delightful way. The cars were
unusually crowded, and a heavy snow was
falling. The car companies, who are manag-
ed by the kind of men who look upon a man
and a horse as so much money to be doubled
in the shortest speed of time, were dragging
the cars up town, loaded to twice their capac-
ity, with the two horses usual to good weath-
er. It was one strain from the Post Office
up town, and the jaded beasts only got on by
pulling their shoulders out of joint. At 23d
street, llergli’s ofllcers stopped every one of
. the cars, and compelled them to stay there
till additional teams could be put on. There
was no help for it, and over three hundred
cars, all loaded to their utmost with people,
were held there an hour. till the teams nec-
essary to drawing them with some. degree
of comfort could be brought and attached.
The passengers were as wroth as the compa
nies, but Mr Bergli informed them that he
did it for the purpose of awakening them to
the necessity of taking some interest in hu-
manitarian movements. While-he is about
it he ought to do something for the drivers,
who are as badly over-worked as the horses,
and not half ’as w- ll fed. The car driver in
New York is compelled to work from four-
teen to sixteen hours a day, in freezing
weather, rain, snow or sleet, night and day
for which they receive the munificent sum Of
$1.05! They are compelled to stand on their
feet all the time, and there is scarcely one of
them who has not varicose veins, or some
other disease brought on by exposure, equal-
ly serious; and :is severe as is the labor, and
as hard as the work, there are thousands ap-
plying for the positions for every place that
is vacant. It is rather good proof of honesty
tlza: they work at all at such wages, rather
than steal. ' But while theanimals are taken
care of, there has been as yet no society or-
ganized to prevent cruelty to men. The street
cars are so many mines of wealth, and the
companies are enormously rich; but their
employees are harder-worked and less paid
than any in the city. ,
Iiicii LITI‘ C AND DEFALCATIONS.
The frequency of defalcatiohs by young
men holding confidential positions, excites
a great deal of remark. Every day some
young man gets away to Europe in a mys-
terious way; his books are examined and he
is found to be a defaultcr to a large amount.
Then his employers investigate, and it is
found that he has been living fast, that he
has been “supporting a woman," and that his
faceis well known in the gambling hells.
If he is smart, he has stolen and saved
enough to be ableto com romise with them ;
but as a rule he has sq’i - dercd all that he
has stolen, and has fled without money or
character. I knew one case of a young man
who beI-ingcd to two clubs, his living at
which cost him not. less than $10,000 a year.
who kept a Iiiistruss who required a carriage
for her own use, and whose mid-day lunches
never cost him less than $5.1M the i‘liIbs
tip—town he was supposed to be a partner in
the house, and his extravagant living was not
considered singular. .It turned out, however,
that he was merely. a clerk‘bn a salary of $1,-
800 a yea", and that his defaleations in two
years footed up over .$90,000! And he got
away to Australia with nothing—his molicr
sold stocks to get the few hundreds that were
necessary to take himvout of New Yoi‘k.
Every cent of it has gone for his vices. His
mistress soldJIis carriages, horses and jewel-
ry, and immediately proceeded to find anoth-
cr victim to ruin. Another clerk, at the sal-
ary of $1,500, embezzled inabout the same
time $60,000, which he speht in the same
way. It is a singular thing the business of a
great house should be managed so as to make
thefts possible, but it is so; and they occur
almost daily.
POLITICAL.
The holidays have taken the spirit o'ut.of
the politicians, and there is nothing new on
the chess board. The democracy findit hard
work to keep up an excitement, and they
have about abandoned the idea Of intarpos-
ing any objection to the inaugurationlof .‘hc
legally elected Resident, Hayes. They have
quit drinking blood, and as an easy way of
letting themselves down, talk mysteriously
of an appeal to the courts. Nothing will
come of it. They have lost the game, and
h ave made up their minds to grin and bear
it. The men of money will not respond to.
the invitation to the tented field, for fighting
means money, and the merchant who has a
regular business has not the interest in put-
ting Brown, the ward-striker, into a sinecure
in the custom house that Brown has. Con-
sequently he don’t want to go to war for
Brown's sake, and Brown has not been able . .

demonstrations will commence immediately
after New Years, and will be kept tip just as
long as any feeling is shown. Boston and
Philadelphia are to join them, working the
same way, the speakers changing abOut so as

heaviest merchants in the city.

Secretary’s Annual Report; of the
Ladies’ ( i. T. U. of N orwalk,
Ending Dec. 26th, 1876.
The office which this Union conferred up-
on me, makes it my duty to render an ac-
count of the work done during the past year.
As will be learned from this report, much
has beemaccomplished through the efforts
of this Union.
The" year which closes, has been one of
marked success in its history; showing rapid
progress which we have undertaken" and has
been attained only by faithful co-operation
on the part of time, who, having God over-
head, and heart within for labor and love,
have accomplished results some of which we
are able to present to you today.
Though much for the Master has been done
faithfully and well ; the results can only be
learned 'when the Books shall be opened.
But beforeI proceed any further, let me
say, I come before you my sisters with a sad
we gather here to-day, for death has invaded
our ranks, and taken our much loved and
glory on the morning of the 22d of Novem-
ber, 1876, leaving behind her a memory
which will ever be to us a bright and shining
light. We know what her devotion was to
her Saviour, to the cause of religion, and of
temperance in our midst; how self-sacrificing
she was in behalf of saving souls. She was
fully consecrated to her Master‘s work, and
of doing good to. suffering humanity. This
her life for it. Her influence will ever live
and linger in our hearts. She speaks in this
message to us today, “Be ye also ready.
What thou doest, do quickly.” Though we
mourn her loss, it is her eternal gain ; we
bow subinissivcly to God‘s will,aud trust that
the death of our dear sister may be sanctified
to us, and bind us closer as a Union for the
work in which we are engaged.
Since I was chosen your Secretary in Jan-
uary lust, the work has gone nobly forward.
The number of devotional meetings held
during the year are oueliundrcd and seventy-
thrce. These meetings have been well sus-
tained ; the average attendance of our Mon-
day and chiissdayevening meetings during
the winter months, have numbered from
fifty to one hundred ; during the summer
and autumn months the attendance has been
somewhat less, but the interest has continhcd
about the sainr. They have been very spirit-
ual and we trust. those who have attended
them, have gone away feeling that they had
been greatly blest. .
Our Sunday afternoon meetings have been
well sustained. Since February last, the
attendance became so large that our rooms
would not accommodate all that were anxious
to be present, and we have been obliged to
hold them each Sabbath afternoon in Lock-
woml’s Hall. Through July and August
these meetings were held at the amphitheater
grounds, under the auspices of the Reformed
Men’s Union, and they also were well attend-
ed, and we trust have proved a great blessing
to many souls.
In addition to our work, during the year,
I would Say that on the evening of Marcli‘
31st, there was a temperance meeting held
in Lockwood’s Hall for the purpose of organ-
izing a Reformed Men’s Union under the
auspices of the Ladies’ Temperance Union.
It proved successful and the Union now
numbers about two or three hundred mem-
bers. ,
Saloon meetings have been held at Mr.
Lee’s, commencing November 11, and con-
tinuing until April 7th. The average atten—
dance at those meetings have been from
twenty-five to one hundred men, and much
good has resulted from them, for some souls
have been rescued from the evils of intem-
perancc, and have come out upon the Lord’s
side.
The ladies devotional meetings have been
held regularly, each week, although they
have not been largely attended, yet, they
have been precious meetings to those in at
but there are evidences that it will close next 5
week.
certain to be beaten in the end, and the effect
of the election of Hayes is showing itself
more and more. Gold is down to 7, making‘
it possible to resume specie payment at any
time. While business is dull, everybody
feels hopeful that the spring will bring a re-
vival, and business men are content to wait
till the matter is settled beyond a peradven-
turc.
BUsINass.
New York has received another offset.
The grain trade has been gradually leaving
the city for Boston, Philadelphiazand Balti-
more. Vanderbilt made an effort to get it
back by cutting freight in favor of New York,
but the other lines have finally beaten him.
The Baltimore and Ohio brought him down,
and the New York Central has in the new
arrangement raised its rates, so that Balti-
more has a very heavy per cent. over New
York. The wholesale merchants are feeling
ugly over this surrender of Vanderbilt, for
goods are very largely bought where grain is
sold. All this is bad for New Yerk, but it is
well for the interior cities and the producer.
There are no facilities in New York for hand-
ling grain, and it costs altogether too much
to get it ‘through the city and on shipboard.
Chicago, Toledo and Milwaukee are shipping
heavily to Baltimore, and the dry goods and
gqpccry trade is following it. Mr. Gar-
rett works his road in the interest of his city,
"wand its management has always been liberal.
Between the Baltimore and‘Oliio and the
Pennsylvania Central, New York has come
to grief. Take this diversion and the fact
that the lake cities are shipping direct to
' Montreal and supplying New England direct,
and it is easy enough to see othat the prestige
of New York as a commercial centre is in
danger.
FIRE nsoaras.
The Brooklyn horror has seved one good
purpose. The authorities have inspected
every theatre in the city, and are compelling
the anagers to make them safe. They are
cutting doors for escape, and are laying wu-
tcr pipes in every direction, so as to flood the
stage in the event of fire. One theatre. was
compelled to suspend till this was done, and
the people who crowd them breathe more
freely. The churches are to be overhauled
next, and then the factories and large build-
ings in which people work six stories up, are
to be looked after. The effect of it all is, to
make life tolerably safe from fire. There are
buildings in the lower wards, which shelter
nightly from two to three thousand people,
six stories in height, with only one staircase,
and that a very narrow one. In the event of
a fire in one of them; the unfortunate inmates
would burn like rats, for escape would be
virtually impossible. All of these are to be
gone through with, and the owners compel-
ed to make them safe.
Uncle Samuel has bled many millions :
and he hits got tired of it, especially as he is ' ' I would now mention the Juvenile Tem-
tendance; and especially, to those engaged
inthe work, for they have received grace
and strength to go forward more earnestly
during the year.

have followed from them.
perance work, that has been commenced.
The first meeting was held in Lockwood’s
Hall, Saturday afternoon, June 24th ; it was
well attended; our late President presided.
She expressed a deep interest for this work,
for she desired to see the children brought
in under this Temperance Banner and Christ
held up to them as their leader. Some of
our ladies have taken the work up, and two
meetings have already been held this season.
We trust that this work will go forward and
much good he done, for we feel that God
has called us to it.
In March last, Miss Greenwood and Mrs.
Jackson from Brooklyn were with us, and
addressed a large audience at one of our
Sunday afternoon services, which also resul-
ted in good. Now my Christian friends and
members of our Union, this is our report of
the work, we have endeavored to do during
the year which closes today. All the good
that has been done, Eternity alone can tell.
Our platform is our faith. ' Our element
love. Our password Jesus Christ, and we
desire to spend our time in winning souls to
Him who alone can save. \Ve have great
reason to be encouraged when we see our
efforts blessed, and our prayers answered.
And in conclusion let me say this is no time
to sit with folded hands and flickeringlamps.
The work we have undertaken demands the
concentrated and united labors of us all; let
each one feel an individual responsibility
resting on herself to make this Society known
and felt in our community, ‘For while the
Spirit and the Bride say come,” shall not we
who hear take tip the glad cry, and call to
the perishing around us '9 come, and take of

NORWALK, Dec. 29th, 1876.
DEAR GAstTE :——In all ages of the Chris
tian church it has tolerated, to some cxt_ent,
abuses and errors. At the present time It
cannot be said that the church is entirely free
from mistakes which it might and should try
to remedy. The country has just passed
through a political contest in which the rally-
ing cry of one party has been “reform,” and
to the mistakes and corruption of the present
administration it has ncaijly nearly succeeded
in placing the reins of government into the
hands of that singular and fratérnal combina-
tion‘—seeession, popery, and rum.
It is not unlikely that the cause of Christ
is being defeated or rather being hindered
by the follies and. mistakes of Christian men
and women, both as individuals and collec-
tively, as Christian churches.
in the individuals composing it, butI do
claim that there ought to be progress in that
direction. It is a surprise to many Christians
that so few adopt the Christian faith and
practice, and so many remain outside of the
fellowship of the church and are not attract-
ed thither. And why is it? Are we not as
Christians blind to our own faults? And is
not the church also blind to its faults? How
many young men daily are cut to the quick
by those who call themselves Christians and
from whom they expect a friendly recog-
nition, “It are passed by unnoticed by these
modern pharisces, who through pride and
sclf-exaltation, carry their heads so high as
to produce a curve in the spinal column back-
ward several inches from perpendicular. As
with the individual so with the church, it has
become so extremely cultivated, so highly re-
fined, so perfectly exquisite, so much exalt-
ed above the level Of common humanity, that
but few young men desire or have the in-
clination, or have they the ability,
mentally or financially, to conform to the re-
quirements of fashion and practice which
prevails in the church. Our church expenses
have now' become. so great that doubtful
means are used to raise money to meet those
expenses; and Some of those means tend to
keep out of the church many for whom
Christ died, and to drive away from the
church ii any others who have obtained for-.
giveness through his blood. Shall the church
iostcrthe pride of men by continuing the
systcniof selling them the choice and the
exclusive privilege of the best seats in the
house of God, simply upon the plea that it is
the best means of raising the most money,
and thereby creating an air of pomposity and
arisitocracy which is offensive to the great
majority of the people; a sort of commer-
cial agency by which the financial standing
of each member is clearly defined by the seat
he occupies. And the young men, the poor
and unfortunate, are left to skulk and shift
to get a decent sitting as best they may, and
but few such are ever reported as having a
decen: pew or standing room fiven in the
house of God. Is it any wonder that so
many men find a- more congenial at-
mosphere in the secret society, or at
home, or behind the screen of the sample
room. Is it not time that the church should
begin retrenchment and reform, so that the
necessity for raising money by doubtful means
to pay expenses shall be discarded, and the
expenses so reduced that the poor may meet
together with the rich, and worship God with
freedom without any semblance Of distiction
on accOunt of condition. Fearing that I may
take too much of your space in your next
issue, I close for this time,
YOUNG CHURCH MEMBER.

POULTRY Enema—When so many find it
difficult to make a mere sufficiency for liUs
support, it seems unaccountable that the
pleasant and profitable business of poultry
raising should be seldom or never resorted to
for the purpose of gaining a livelihood and
establishing a paying and permanent business,
while an eager, struggling crowd are jostling
each other in every other avenue of industry,
no matter how difficult or how meager and
uncertain the rcmuncrati-m promised. Poul-
try raisiiig for profit is light employment, re-
'quiring no great outlay, and but a modicum
of real work, with, Of course, regular
and ceaseless attention which must be given
to any business to insure success, and it is a
paying investment from the day of con‘.
menccnient. The one secret of success is
thoroughness. The chicks must be well and
regularly fed with a variety of good food
and fresh water. The coops must be kept
clean and well ventilated, and the chicks
must have more or less room in which to ex
ercisc, and to reap the fullest measure of suc-
cess, must have comfortable, sheltered and
sunny winter quarters—Poultry Nation.
Here is an English statement to the effect that
the phrase "GO West!" did not originate with
Horace Greeley: “When Benjamin West, the
great American painter, wanted to o to Italy
and study the old masters, his frien s in Phil-
adelphia took up a collection and gave it to
glim, with the remark, ‘Go,\Vest !’ ”-N. Y.

my, will go down into histry ez the final
ab at the libel’ties 11V a brave and opprest
cople. I hev no words to express my indig-
uishun at the deed, or. my loathin at the
coders. When I think that over a thous-
ad niggers wuz killed in them States, and
at the killin uv- that thousand scared of! at
least a thousand more, when I think uv the
pains we took to keep ablishnists from votin
ind when I think uv the masterly way we
ciuntid in the parishcs our rifle clubs took
»ntrol uv, and that after all this we wuz
build out by returning Boards, and sich,
pheld by the minyuns uv chrel power, I
‘iiev no hesitashen in assertin that our pre-
nse uv liberty is a holer mockery, and
. art the idea uv a government by the peo-
ple mite ez well be abandoned to 'wunst.
The Corners resolved never to submit to
ie outrage, and the minit the Yoonited
rates Marshal got away, the war feelin got
) intense 'that it had to hev vent. There
:n’t only one way for the Corners to work
if its excitement, and that is by a meetin.
called one immejitly, and so intense.was
e feelin that every citizen uv the Corners
wuz present.
1 never seed sich a feelin since I was :1
Mid. Ther wuzn’t any loud, blustering,
.necessary talk—men felt it was no time for
talk, but rather for ackshen. There wuz that
:ompreshun of lip, that stem look, that thotJ
Lil expresshun that one sees here only in
mes uv grate public danger, or when Bas-
om presents his bill to the citizens ”with the
cartless remark that you don’t git another
drop till that is paid.
Dekin Pogram remarkt that the countiu
out ov Tilden wuz an outrage to wich the
Jorners would never submit. The Comets
ed made sacrifices afore for Constitooshenel
iberty, and wood agin. Ez old ez he wuz,
ie had shot Fedrel pikkets, and the age had
dimmed his eyes and the newnes ovBascom’s
I hire: had affected his nerves, he believed he
ciod do suthiu in that way yit. He desired
rething so much oz to git a crack at an ab;
Lshnist. He preferred killin ablishnists to
uggers any day. .
Issaker Pogram wuz more in earnest. He
wantid war anyhow. He wuz tired uv all
his beatin about the bush. He hed killed
iggers to keep em from votin, wich he felt
vuz a base compromise. It wuz an admishin
hat the nigger bed a rite to vote ef he
vuznft killed, wich he wood never consent
0. He wantid an appcle to arms that the
he uv the proud Caucashn to reel might be
stablished forever. His voice wuz for war.
1e wuz thirsty for gore. No- compromise
for him—war to the knife.
Capt. M’Pelter wuz for war. He hed suf-
ered wunst and wuz willin to agin. He wuz
glad that Tilden wuz countid out, for it
‘howed the-South that they hed no in to
aspect from the ablishn North. War wuz
he only resource left a free people.
The resolooshens presentid breethed a war-
ike sperit, wich almost alarmed me. They
wuz ez follows:
WAREAS, The Dimocrisy uv the Southern
states by virtue, ‘uv that eternal vigilence wich
is the price uv liberty, and shot guns tri-
umphed over ablishism in Flor-idy, South
Kerliny and Looisaner, and ’
WAREAS, To do this required constant ri-
din, and an expenditure of buck shot onpar-
allelled in the histry uv eleckshuns, and
WAnsAs, When you hev killed a nigger,or
hung a Mite ablishnist, you are entitled to
the benefits resultin from it, and
WARRAs, Ablishin ofilshls and Returnin
Boards hev coolly thrown out all parishes
were a decent regard for a democratic tri-
umph compelled us to prevent nigger votin,
and thus given the states to the radical Hayes
therefore, be it. .
Resolved, That the Corners, realizin the
gravity uv‘the sitoashen, and feelin the im:
portance div its ackshen, declaresthat it never
will stand it, that it will never submit to this
outrageous interference with its rites; that it
will never consent to the inogerashun uv an
ablishnist, but it will take up arms, and never
lay em down till the last vestige of Radikel-
ism is wiped out.
Resolved, That the Corners is for war, and
that whether the dimocn'sy nv the North sub
mits or not, it never will.
Resolved, That we accept no compromise,
but will hev all we claim or fite.
Resolved, That what we want is a South
em Republic, and a divorce forever from the
North, sich ez wuz contemplated in 1861,and
for which we struggled till we wuz overcome
by the power uv the hordes wich Lincoln
hurled upon us.
These resolooshens wuz passed yoonani-
mously, and three cheers and- a tiger giv-
en witha fervor that showed thet the old war
spirit hed' survived, and that all that wuz
necessary wuz an oppertoonity. _
Just at this minit Joe Bigler rose and desir-
ed to make a few remarks. A native uv Ken-
tucky, he sliood go with his State, but he
questioned the wisdom uv goin. Ef we se-
cede agin, who is to pay the Southern .war
claims? He understood there wuz suthiu
over $200,000 uv em in the Corners alone,
and ef-yoo cut off the North, who is to pay
cm ? .
Bascom growd pale, and hitched oneasily
in his seat.
And then again he sposcd the brethren
wich wuz a thirstin for gear fondly imagin-
ed that of we bed a republik uv our own
thet every one uv em would hev a post 01113
and a collectorship. Fatal delooshen? The
moment seceshun wuz established and the
poo government formed, thei- wood be an in-
flux nv Northern Dimocrats down here who
would take every place in the gift uv the gov-
ernmefi. Fernandy Wood will come.
The meetin howled.
—Dirty shirt Dean would come—
More howls.
—Little Sammy Cox wood come—-
Increased howlin.
—The hundreds uv thousands wich expects
0015 under Tilden wood come, the fepeeters
wood come, Hewitt wood come, the litrary
burow wood move down here, and wat chance
wood we hev with sick strangers in our
gates? And then think uv Trumbull, uv Pal-
mer, think uv that vast army wich hev bin
in the minority in the North so long, all a-
rushin down here like grasshoppers in Ne-
braskyl The Ablishnist you kin shoot. but
yoo‘ can’t shoot yer friends. My friend Bas-
com, think uv hevin a hundred Nasbys all u
goin on tick in place uv wnn, and think uv
the poor South bein taxed to support~ em all.
Bascom hurriedly left the house.
Ther wuz a deep silence feh onto the house,
and for a minute every man uv us wuz wrap-
ped in thot. Bigler resumed:
“Think of being taxed for your own claims
and colleckshun bein enforced by bayonitsl
A Southern bayonit has just 92 peekid an end
ez a Northern won, and—"
This prospect finished em. With one PTO‘
longed how}, they rose ez one man, and gli-
ded out uv the house. And afterward in
Baseom’s they wuz a-talkin uv the advanta-
ges uv yoonyan, and that of the Northern
Dim ocracy wantid war they wood hev to make
it. I don’t suppose I kin ever git them peo-
ple into a meetin agin.

A youngEnglish lady is engaged in making
a clock entirely of partridge feathers. In it
will be at least 10,000 feathers of difierent
sizes, the lower portion of the clock being
made of the tail feathers and ranging up.'
The breast feathers come next, while the
variegated plumage around the neck of the
bird encircles the white throat of the ladY-
It will require about 100 partridges to fill out
the regular courses of feathers, which are
placed in layers similar to the way in which
they grow on the bird.
