On Tuesday morning, on arising, .a cb ild six months old, belonging to Mr. J. F. Lillie, was fonnd to be dead. ' ' Its ap pear ance denoted death without a strug gle. Its head was resting upon its hand, in an attitude ef repose. A difficulty of tbe bowels, it is spprebeuded, may have affected th brain. The bereaved family have much sympathy over their sudden loss. Personal. Among our absent citizens at home up on a holiday sojourn, we notice upon tue street Mr. E. L. Traver, - and Mr. Len Watson. Mr. W. P. Genther, of the Clevelsnd Sunday Pott, made us a pleasant call yes terday morning. ' Among tbe sick ones who havTrsade their appearance in business circles are Dr. Hall and the Junior of ibe Telegraph office. Ring in the New Year! Proclamations have been issued, and arrangements made in many of the cities throughout tbe country, to usher in tbe Centennial year by tbe ringing of bells. illuminations, firing of cannon, etc. Why cannot tbe citizens of Ashtabula make a demonstration on this occision by tbe ringing of bells f Out AoAnf.-Tbe office of P . E. Hsl having been closed Jor several weeks on account of sickness of himself and fami ly, is again open, and be wishes to noti fy his friends and the public, that he has so far recovered as to give hi attention again to business, and snay be found at his office regularly, during business hour. The religious meetings of this .place are held every afternoon and evening of" the present week in tbe Methodist church, and tbe spirit and numbers- are continued. The preaching Is by Rev. Mr. Clark.: The Rev. Mr. Parker has left, and as we learn, gone to Madison, to take up tbe work there. The. number mostly young people who have become interested in the work here, is quite nu merous, aud when tbey come to offer themselves lor church connection the number , will be stated. , ., 1 -s Jobksy Lake, of the Conneaut accom modation, I a model cond uctor, and ad mirably adapted to the spe cial require ments of thl train vigilant in the dis cbarge of duty, thoughtful and careful of tbe comfort, and especially, of the safety, ol his passengers. The stoppages upon his rtin.includlQg crossings Cleve land to Conneaut are 25. and the number is increasing every .year. This shows the growth and Increase of population along this line, . Of course, they are most fre quent and numerous at the Cleveland end. - With such frequent stops, a great er quantum ot patience and philosophy Is demanded for riding upon this train . While we feel like commending our friend Lane, w would not forget the merit due to the skillful hand that gov ern the throttle vslve, and so faithfully seconds, in tbe handling of his train, tbe policy of tbe conductor. A preliminary meeting the second Was held at Haskell's Hall, on Monday evening last, for tbe formation of a Build ing aud Loan Association ia this village, and soms 80 shares of $200 each, were subscribed, and a committee appointed for soliciting further subscriptions, and to report on Monday even tog next, at the same place, when, there is no doubt, more than a sufficient amount one-tenth of $309,000 will have beea subscriled. and an organization effected. Th fea tures of '.be organization will be gtvsn la due time. Suffice It at present to say, th Institution is admirably calculated to encourage providence and economy among working men and those of small means, and cannot but prove of great benefit to them and tha community at large. The Masquerade. This party came off at the Opera House on Wednesday evening, surd' was lrgely attended. The' .company was made np firstTof tbe scholars of tbe dancing school a large number, of spectators, and also many ol the farnily and,tber friends f tbe pupils oi tbe Behoof, and embraced a considerable share of the best ciitz.cn. The admittance was pd? at a dollar bead, anrl the receipts most bare been very wholesome. These, after paying expenses, were to be given to tbe Lvlies' Aid Society for relieving the poor. Tbis charitable feature, however, did not screen the entertainment from opposi t i on. It a as claimed to be unreasonable as two of onr cb arches were engaged in a revival work, and -the two thinga were thought to be incongruous. , Many of the members of tbe other churches not en gaged in lb revival meetings, gave their support to the masquerade, and made it. as ba been stated, a auccess. Tbe dancing began about 8 o'clock. and at this time tbe gallery was packed with spectators, and the Boor presentiag a'llrely and -amusing scene... The dan cers were nearly all in costump, and all were masqaed. The variety and col on jat the costumes, as. well as tbe masques, were carrid to the last extent, and as showing the taste of tbe wearers confirmed the turlh of tbe Old axiom "Many men of many mind" which in this case applied with equal force to the female persuasion, . One feature, in th is respect, ,we not fio : pkasanL perhaps, as -might have beet). Tbe grotesque ind extravaganza type rather largely pre y ailed, Wbile some Ian to Congo, oth ers carried tbeir tepreseotationa andlm nations to tbe monkey, tribe. Long noses, distorted ' features and unn.?ral complexions, of every character, were to be seen. -"These costume shaded ofla- tu various awiiS ca lions, up to the taste ful and genteel.',3'.' There wer not a lew of handsome and 'becoming costumes, of course, we can only glance at thewa. Among the most approved snd marked of tbe ladies -dresses, was a rather petit figarebutValightlv masked.' representing Autumn, ss tbe sere and colored leaves decorating a tasteful and becoming rich. light silk, seemed to indicate. The fancy of another young- lady, of similar figu re, showed itself, ia assuming the character of tbe rustic school-girl; with her white sun-bonnet, long bib and satchel. Her timid and demure , bearing were quite in character, except for the witchery that played about the only feature visible a 'pair of, we believe blue eyes. There were handsome attires, with long; flowing veils, producing good effect.. Among the showy,' and yet fitting costumes was one worn, by a ratbrr tali person, of black grenadine, flounced with white tarlton, in drooping dries.

Another ot similar character, representing the consteliar lions, was hardly less pret'y. There were, no doubt, many much more costly dresses than these, but being less showy, failed. In. ibe mazy, dance, to fix the at tention. We can mention ouly one mere, and this was a puffy, white, short dress, which handsomely set off a short, but finely rounded and plump figure. The adaptation of tbe dress to the person, and the taste with which it was bestowed. drew attention. . Some of these we have described were identified, and were it not for the fear of embarrassment, might ba given. - Should i t bave that effect, however, we fear that we might not be for-given. Among the gentlemen, we noticed tbe gay sailor boy, the jusnty Scott, ia kilt. tights and Sowing sash, and always pleasing wood csp and dangling ribbons a dress that never fails to challenge ap proval,. and prompts the "wish that it might be more general. One of tbe most amusing characters and chief among tbe few that Were sus tained in character as well as habili ment, was our young friend of the Ash tabula Store. His manners and adapta tion of English to tbe French style and accent, left nothing for tbe bystander to do but- Incontinently to' shake his 'dia phragm.

The Greet costume, by Blakes- lec, was showy, and nch. This was true of the cavalier dress.

Our young friend Hitchcock, was rather an excrullating representa- tionf Uncle tan,-lTh9- length ef pant aloon straps aud ooat-tAil, gave Samuel a prominence that cannot be approached by any other nationality. There is one feature of these occasion that may always be noticed tbe self- possession, and sometime, dignity, re. quired to carry out character, 1 often lost in the novelty and strangeness ot tbe situation. . Awkwardness often takes its place and proves destructive of effect. Refreshments, abundant in quantity. and savory and delicious In quality, had been spread npon four long tables in tbe dining apartment, by the ladies of tbe highest attainment in the culinary art, and their attentions were assiduous ly given to Supply every guest The party was a pleasant one, and in pone of its progress was there an inde corum, or forgetfulness of self-respect or tbe rights and comfort of others. Tb costumer of the occasion was Mr, J.'O. Van Nostrand of Oil City, who was present, though some bad provided I bceoeelve from Cleveland. Tbe gross receipts amounted to $187.

No- es?" who in your last week's issue makes; the fling at phrenology. I answer it is R. D. Norris, of Hartsgrove, a man of such inordinate self-esteem that be as sumes to be tbe stsndard to which tbe manners, morals, and opinions ot others ought, he thinks, to conform. It Is evident that he wishes to create a religious'--prejudice against the science by representing' GA1, Spuraeheim- and George Combe as'men of "Skeptical pro clivities." His ignorant relig.ous zeal has overshot the mrk. The writings of these men, especially, of George Combe, furnishes a complete refutation of his slander. See Combe's chapter on "the relation between science and scripture," in tbe seventh American edition of bis "Constitution of Man." For our friend Norris's benefit I will quote from bis fa vorite Cowper : "There is no grace," said Cowper, "that the spirit of self can coun terfeit with more success, than a relig ious zeal. A man thinks be is fighting for God, when he is merely fighting for his own notions." . From our friend's remarks, it is very clear that he Is ignorant of tbe reception and endorsement which phrenology re ceives from the majority ot the leading scientists, anatomists, physiologists, ed ucators and divines ot the present day. If space would ad mit, I could g Ive a list of names in all f these departments, that would take all or the wind out of his sails, and would show hi reader how limited his knowledge is. It is Anna Dickinson, nd not Busan B.Anthony, who has "found her pecu liar position in society by tbi examina tion, of her bumps." as Mr. Norris is pleased to call them, and both she and phrenology will bold up their beads in pride ia view of lb reultt, notwith standing tbe sneers of our friend. Thous ands beside Anna E. Dickinson are reap ing the benefit which this science has conferred upon them, by pointing them to proper lphera of action. It our friend would take a little of it dvlce, I think it would benefit him. ir he hould feel inclined to refer to tii science again, I hope he will attack Its principles, and not Its founders and advocate; and I would advise him to lay aside that old Jewish idea ol asking, "Have any of th Pharisees believed V In tbe language or Dr. Boardman, I would respectfully say to my friend : "If phrenology be true, then by continuing to oppose It, you will merely Injure and dishonor yourself. You may laugh, but laughter if not wit j you may scoff, but scoffing is not argument t .ypu may shut your eyes, but it will not, therefore, be dark ; you may rals cloud of dust, but you will merely obstruct you vision not extinguish the radiance of truth.

An individual of peculiar eccentric! ties has been living with a farmer, or rather in a cave, at North Kingsville, for about three years. His case has bee n mentioned in the papers heretofore and his actions would indicate that be is insane, but of a mild and inoffensive na ture. He is still living at tne same place. in apparent good health, with a prospect yet before him of a long life. He ha hole dug in the bank, scarcely large enough for a man to stand up in it. A stove is put up in the little cave, and ttjere he makes his home Ia the sum mer he will go off sad stay in the woods three or four days at a time, only return ing when driven in by hunger, and then he will go direct to the farm house for something to eat It any one comes to tbe house, or into his presence, be will try to) avoid them, and generally make off. He will associate with none but tbe farmer's family, who seam to humor bis eccentricities. He is a good man to work at times, and does many chore for tbe farmer with whom he makes his home; -.but he cannot always be depend ed upon. He was in the army, and being wounded, draws a pension of $98 a year, which goes a long way toward his sup port, considering his method of living.

The large importing houses of fancy wares show few signs of the bard times daring tbe holiday season. To an ac customed eye the slock may not appear so large as in former seasons, when money was rolling about ; but articles are more tasteful and select Such cameos, bronzes, and elegant pieces or gold snd sirrer ware never were shown as to-day. Tbe dealers say that they bave not felt the hard times affect their custom, but expect they will before long. As tbe next tiling to seeing beautiful things is to hear about them, your read ers may have some curiosity to know what kind of gifts wealthy New Yorkers make this season. The gem of all tbe lovely objects of "bigotry and virtue," is tbe veiled Cupid, now on view in tbe gallery of a house noted for its rarities. Tbe statue, by an Italian artist, is called "Hidden Love;' a charming ngure.wita head turned aside, and arrows drooping in the left h and, a veil thrown over the face. Tbe charm of it all is tnat the rmarble is co lored m the sonest tints, me dimple lim ba have tbe finest rose flush, lender as flesh -over is ; the eyes, a beauti ful, roguish blue, beam through the veil, which is wrought with, most exquisite art till it looks like a film of white crane flung over the lovely head, not " half concealing the brilliant roses on its cheek. The statue was sold to a New York lady for $18,000. The ladies, per haps, will prefer to hear or the pair or solitaire diamond ear-rings that cost $10,000. and the great saphire for a ring, valued at $5,000. THE OTHER SIDE. At the same time changes are on so fapidly that the purchasers of these costly things may h aye to pledge them before next holiday to get money to ure on. Adver tisements appear continually, offering pr rvate property for sale. A lady offers to sell an evening dress, only once worn, and a new thread lace shawl. Another lias fine seal skins, good as new; while diamonds are to be bought at ruin ous prices. A broker told me that he could buy diamonds at any time for one fourth their cost from people- who had 1 ost all their other property.' Those . ex pensive goods I spoke of are usually bought bv people ot assured incomes, not dependent on tbe fluctuations of business.
