Temperance.
This subject haw been, ivxw'i'i'tlj*,
ill H'listh'il'g, t lie successive llrerme
lit two iul Ironses, a lirelure ami a
sermon. Without any purpose oi
t litictKin of tine efforts of t tie rever
end gentL'niffi who have m oncrget
ir.*!!.v r.rnl eloquently espoused the
cartar of Temp-ram'ie, we are. nev
ertheless, free to express our convic
tion tit it tlieiv is, e,|i<m this subject,
a Species of morbid, man Hitt senti
liient extant, which, however pious
ami sincere, is frightfully unavailing
in its attempted subjugation oi the
great Hocifii arch-enemy.
I he memory of mi ouo tow living
reverts to a p rioj when the abuse
of ardent spirits was mt a great ro
i iul evil. It lias evoked in its sup
pression lie' genius of the statesman,
the wisdom of legislatures, the la
bors of the philanthropist, the bland
ishments of secret societies, the piety
of the church and the eloquence of
the orator. .Ministers have doffed
their sacerdotal character and put on
the mimic mien to portray the silii
nesa of the inebriate ; orators have
word-painted the ghastly topic with
l’andemoiiiao orthoepy, and, in proof
of the terrific enormity of intemper
ance, have evoked the registers of
hell itself.
In a multitude of instances, the at
tempi to ridicule and frighten, fails
to fall on the ears of those for whom
they are intended. Ihe ostriches,
with their heads buried in the sand,
had almost as lief die as see the dan
ger of d -ath. If their courage lias
not entirely oozed, limy look up to
discover the pursuer, at “long
range,” venting Ins barbed denunci
ations from the pulpit or the rostrum.
If intemperance must be combat
ted by the Church, the true spirit of
combat is the missionary. Vice, to
lie reformed, must be pursued to its
haunts. The devotees of false relig
ions. in antipodal lands, arc the sub
jects of enormous missionary contri
butions; how milch similar practical
■effort is made to reform tl e thousand.-
who pervert the t.u . at the very
thresholds of uiir churches?
'I ho Apostles commenced preach
ing at Jerusalem, to lie* idcnlii a’
rabble who hastened the crucifixion :
Paul, as a captive, made converts in
Ciesar’s household, and, upon his
own Dial, before Felix, asserted the
criminal character of his judge.—
I.other, at Worms, confronted a
I dot, pre-determined upon his death,
and face to face w ith its nugust rep
resentatives, boldly preferred bis
charges against the I’niversal Church
Such are a few im tuners of moral
heroism well worthy the imitation of
the apostles id' the present day.—
Many lions there are that must needs
be bearded in their dens. In their
pm poses they are a unit, which fact
suggests the necessity of unity, not
aione of the ministry, but of all the
elements of temperance ; then carry
cavalry, artillery, and infantry, alto
gether, right over into the enemy’s
works. He will never leave until
driven out. lie has been menaced,
threatened, and thundered at so long,
without feeling the blow, the penalty
r; or the lightning-stroke, he laughs at
the indictments pronounced against
him beyond ear-shot.
Turning from the course hitherto
pursued by those who have chainpi
oned the cause of temperance, we
are forced to the confession that, ex
ternally. there is no remedy for tin*
evil. Its history proves that instead
of being dwarfed and diminished, it
has enlarged and increased. It has
thriven in the very shadow of the
church. Like the oak, the storms
have beaten upon it only to make it
strike deeper root. The law is pow
erless before an ill, one of whose
unfortunate characteristics is that it
is domestic. Many such can never, !
from their very nature, be legally
reached. If there is but one evidence
outside tbe Scriptures, of the neces
sity for a iiual judgment, it is this—■
the redress of human wrung, not ac
cessible to human law.
It is one of those evils which must
expend itself. 'I here are bounds in
tite moral as well as in the material
world to the dominion of wrong.—
There is a drop that will overflow the
cup of iniquity. How soon filled we
dare not peril a prophecy. Hut tl e
avenging hour will surely come, and
may even now be on the w b g.
Slavery, whether or not a aocial I
evil, was so regarded by a vast nutn- I
ber of people, and, as such, was j
spoken, written, and legislated
against. The futility of this crusade
cannot be questioned. Hut emanci
pation was not the least result of a
war begun certainly for a different
purpose.
For out-solver, we are not s: nguine
enough to see the end of the great
iniquity this side of that day when
the Chiistian (. lunch shall have evan
gelized the world. It may be some
how upturned amid ihe throes of
civil, or moral commotion, ns islands
have been known, in diluvial epochs,
to rise and throw themselves into
the sea. Hut we have not in this age
a rule to measure the dimensions and
future extent of the already inacces
sible pyramid.
Knnugli to say it is building upon ■ ,
burning marl and mu-t, sooi t*r or ,
lati r. topple into perdit'on. The I,
same sun which now measu-es the . |
slow length of its impious dynasty, j
must one day shine upon its mins It :
has in itself all the elements of suicide. |
and w hen, by its own Hriavesu hands. ,
it must die. the world will then, and
then only, resound with its full. ,
Coal Sews,
The under date of Philadelphia,
Jtiv i. 1871, says : The Anthracite coal
xv.xr ci,dr ll with tlie 80th of November,
and in the entire history of the trade prob
ably never ended duller nr more depressed.
1 There is no hope or prospect of nnv revi
i : vnl until next spring, and as Thanksgiving
f | came on the last day of the month and of
. j the coal year at a good many mines the
work was -‘squared up” the day before,
and the mines closed. Notwithstanding
winter came sudden and sharp on the 80th
the mnrk"l did not rally from the shook it
received by the decline of prices at the
public sale, an 1 coal by retail at New
\ ork was quoted 50 cent;- per ton lower.
Iu this market we do not notice any par
ticular chanac in prices of coal from the
yards. Tin- coi l weather has stiffened the
; market a little but there is very little doing.
! The Georgetown Courier of 2nd, says:
’1 lie coil! trade lias not been as active this
week as usual. Although there is quite
a Hoot ot boats in the canal awaiting Mw-ir
tunis to unload, yet coastwise schooners
are scarce, and in consequence coal is accu
mulating on the wharves. Tlx- companies
i here have altogether unloaded 115 boats
during Hie week, as follows .- Borden Min
ing Co., 30, Consolidation 88, George's
- Creek 7, Maryland Co.. 80,and Midlothian
j 10, amounting in the aggregate to 12,8(18
j tons, while the shipments have been only
9,5:18 tons, thus: Borden Mining, 1,500,
Conxo’idation, 1,5-11, George's Crock, 1,000,
and Maryland Co., 2,522 lons. During the
month the receipts were 07,095 tons and
- the shipments 78.001 tons.
.s,; Tiird’.i Circular, of the sth inst., says:
, —Sine,* the last auction sale there has been
j a more active enquiry for coal and no difll
eultv is had in passing otf the receipts,
* which may lie credited to tite cooler weath
er which we have lmd, and the short sup
ple's, in consequence of the stoppage of so
many collieries, and the number of cargoes
caught in the different canals, by Hie curly
closing of navigation.
There is no great amount of profit topro
dueers and operators in the prices at which
■ ; coal is now selling, and as there scents lit
■ 1 tie prospect of any better prices for this
month at least, matters will run on until
j after the closing up of the year’s business,
the only desire being to avoid being block
ed up at the points of shipment, and as the
r stocks and receipts are but light, and sales
i more readily made at the present low rates,
; there is no danger of this taking place, al
though should the doleful prediction of
some dealers take place, the latter of the
month will see lower figures prevailing than
the first, but we are of the opinion that if
anything happens to at nil curtail the pro
duction or shipment of coal this winter
prices will of a consequence advance, as
there must he considerable coal wanted,
particularly if we have cold weather, ns
the stoiks are not large at any of the
' points, in fact remarkably short of last
: | ycai at the same time. We used up all last
i year's over],ins before the resumption took
place this year, and we are now 809,009
lons behind in the production, when we
compare the present year with last.
Three veins of eoa! have been discover
-1 ed at the Big Sioux mines, lowa, respect
ively six, twelve and twenty inches, or
thereabouts, iu thickness. The proprietors
are vain of the new discovery.
Bituminous coals are quoted ns follows:
I Cumberland at Georgetown and Alexan
dria, 84 50, and at New York $7 00.
‘ Broad Top at Philadelphia for shipment,
$175. Mear’s Semi-Bituminous, at New
1 York, $0 00 (d $0 25.
Hammett, Niel! & Co., ill their circular
l dated, Philadelphia, December 2d say:
I The market continues depressed, and the
few buyers are able to make their own
terms w ithout regard to circular rates.

Vacci.vr Yiiius.— Drn. Stommer and
Wiener speak in favor of vaccine mixed
with glycerine. The vaccine virus, w hen
mixed with 8-4 times its bulk of glycerine,
takes well, even after it lias been kept for
months, or even, according to Dr. Etommcr,
for two years. The virus is received into
a convenient dish and mixed by stirring
or slinking, with three or four times its
hulk of glycerine and water in equal parts.
Nightmare is caused by remaining so
long in one position that the blood ceases
to circulate. How hard we try to run
in our sleep sometimes to get out of the
way of some terrible danger! It does
such a person no good to ask what’s the
matter. Don't waste time in asking a ques
tion, but give relief to the sleeper by an in
stantaneous shake, or even a touch of the
i body; that breaks the dreadful spell in an
j instant, because it sets the Wood going
toward the heart.
The Di.scovEnr.ii of Vaccination.—
The churchyard of the village of Worth,
Dorsetshire, England, contains a memorial
tablet with the following interesting in
scription: "Benjamin Jcsty, of Downsluiy;
died April 10. 1810, aged 79. He was horn
at Yelminster, in this county, and was an
upright, honest mail, particularly noted for
having been the first person known that
introduced the cow-pox by innoeulating.
:n 1 who, for his greet strength of mind
made the experiment from the cow on his
j wife and sous in the year 1774.”

1 The Smai.i.-Pox in Am jrnt Times.-
The ravages of the disease in the thirteenth
j century, at which time the Crusaders met
it in the Hast, were fearful. It was a worse 1
enemy than the Saracen,and is to be coun
ted among the many tilings, evil and good,
which dale in l’mnpe aril this country
from tlie effort of the Chris'inns to recover ’
the Holy Land from ils Mohammedan pos
sessors. Beginning its images in Spain
and France, the small-pox first appeared
as an epidemic in Germany, in 1495. Mil
itary expeditions and invasions were the
most notable means of the transmission of
the fearful scourge. From Germany and
France the disease spread all over iiu rope,
and cause thence to this continent.

* “Christmas Times.”
’Twas the night before Christmas, when
nil through tlie house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a
mouse.
■ The stockings were hung by the chirn
, ucy with care,
In the hope that St. Nicholas soon would
be there.
The children were nestled all snug in
r their beds,
: While visions of sugar-plums danced in
, llicir heads,
And mamma in her kerchief, and I in
1 my eap,
Had just settled our brains for a long win
ter's nap;
i When out on the lawn there rose such a
clatter,
I sprang from my bed to see what was the
I matter.
■ Away to tlie window I flew like a finsli,
Tore open the shutters, and threw up tlie
1 sash.
, The moon on the breast of the new fallen
snow.
Gave the justreof midday to objects below.
’ When, what to my wondering eyes should
1 appear,
• But a miniature sleigh and eight liny
, rein-deer,
With a little old driver so lively and quick,
I knew in a moment it must he St. Nick,
i More rapid than eagles Ids coursers they
, came,
And lie whistled, and shouted, and called !
1 them by name;
“Now, Dasher! now, Dancer! now, Plan
i cer! now, Vixen !
. On, Comet! on, Cupid! on, Dundcr and
Blixen!
To the top of the porch ! to the top of the
' | wall!
■ j Now dash away 1 dash away! dash away
all! ' ,
! | As dry leaves before the wild hurricane fly, j
When they meet with an obstacle mount
to the sky,
So up to tlie house-top the coursers they '
tlew,
With the sleigh full of toys—and St. Nieli- ■
olas too.
And then, iu a twinkling, I heard on the!
roof, |
' The prancing and pawing of each little
j hoof;
| As 1 drew in my head, anil was turning
around,
Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with j
I a bound. j
He was dressed all in fur, from his head to
his foot.
And Ids clothes were nil tarnished with
I ashes and soot;
A bundle of toys was thing on Ids back.
And he lookeil like a pedlcr just opening
his pack;
His eyes—how they twinkled! his dimples
i how merry,
His checks were like roses, his nose like a
cherry;
His droll little mouth was drawn up like a i
how, 1
i And the heard of hia chin was as white as
the snow.
j The stump of a pipe lie held tiidit in ids
teeth,
And the smoke il encircled ids head like a
wreath, 1
He had a broad face, and a little round
body,
And though rubicund was no lover of
toddv.
1 lie was chubby and plump, a right jolly
old elf i j
And 1 laughed when I saw him in spite of i
myself.
A wink of ids eye and a twist of his head, t
80011 gave me to know that 1 lmd nothing 1
to dread:
lie spoke not a word, hut went straight to
his work.
And filled all the atomings; then turned <•
with a jerk,
And laying his finger aside of his nose, :
And giving a nod up the chimney lie rose. ,
He sprang to Ids sleigh to Ida leant gave a
whistle, I
And away they flew like the down of a I
thistle;
But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out
of sight, j
“Merry Christmas to all, and to nil a good I
night." Dec U—4*

i hr above is tlm title of a twenty,

recently established in Frostburg.
• ; Allegany county, Mary la ml.
1 We are aware that wc have Cnteivd
! a crowded field—that the competition
lor public favor, on the part of news
papers, is so notably extensive as ti
f i l,lakc the establishment of additional
r Papers * matter of grave considers
lion. Especially So, when the lin
merous and increasing demands of
journalism Are so generally deserving
of support.
However, we accent this fact ■*
not prejudicial to the establishment
of our enterprise, for We hold Una
, every institution, having a laudable
; o'ljoct, legitimately conducted, has u
I moral gl*t to live ; and the fact of
j increasing journalistic candidate*,
I asking) and in all, but comparatively
| a fcw caas . receiving popular sup
. port, indicates the prevalence of a
i healthy public sentiment with re
I spent thereto. It is well known that
newspapers, in general, by assuming
• a prudent censorship of public mun
i | ners and a proper custodianship
; public morals, become the best eon
, Bcrvators of the public peace and
i the most effective promoters of the
, public welfare.
j Recognizing in Frostburg u prom
ising location, amid a populous com
j munity, and encouraged by the eoun
i sel uf some of its citizens, we have
! been induced te attempt the supply
|"f a long-felt Want —-it hume paper.
1 We design devoting mtr best abil
j dies to making it emphatically .
j Newspaper. Ft ictly avoiding poll
| ties, except, probably, simple state
| ments of facts from both parties, our
i cHolds will, necessarily, be direct, I
to tlie CillianbriUeilt of the general
welfare and the nuttier devi b >}iim.ii I
of the immense resources of ibis rim
j section. We shall paitieularly eu
j deavor to Blake the paper suited t ■>

Ing, as fully as possible, the L0r.,1
News Of Town and County. V,*
shall not, however, neglect to keep
our loaders well informed upon if.r
leading topics of the day by publicl,-
ing the most important Foreign, \..
tional and State News.
In short, we are pledged to
party, attached to no ca-a-d wn>l eon
trolcd by no faction, and by KiSfiiuiHv
adhering to an indepeMdiut’iil posit i,.,
