SCRIPT greets its readers and wishes
them a “Merry Christmas.” This is
the time for social greetings and merry
evety one of our readers may have joy
Of another Christmas. Among ail the
Christmas customs we think of none
. that are-so pleasant as those of a social
character. There is certainly no place
wherea man ean find so much pleasure
&s in watching the countendnces of the
, little ones as happy hearts maké win‘dows of bright eyes, and the little
voices shout praises ot the gifts bestowed upon them by Santa Claus. Then,
for grown people, too, the Christmas
festival is an oasis in the long, dreary
desert of toil and trial. Then it is that
the perplexities of life and business are
for the time thrown off as an old garment, and happiness assumes the sway.
The tables to-day, will be spread with
the richest of viands, and friends will
collect around the festive board, and
endeavor to help each other pass the .
day happily. Christmas is a time when
all the better feelings of nature should
be brought ‘into play, and the baser'’
forgotten. Let those who are able see’
that the needy are supplied with something to make them remember the
annual festival, and:also the kind hand
that brings them cheer.

o'clock were higher than ever known
before. A gentleman who lives up near
Scott's Flat, informs us that immense
quantities of heavy timber were swept
down the creek, and at times the heavy
logs would form a barrier and the tim.ber would gather until swept away by
the accumulated force of the water
with a heavy surge. The rain-fal)

{#~The Democrats, making so much’
ado about economy before an election
and paying no attention to retrenchment
afterwards, reminds one of the story of
two Irishman, soon after their arrival
in America, going along by a pond, and
hearing the bull frogs croak at the bottom. It was the first time they ever
heard the deep guttural “k’chug” in
their lives. They flew about with their
shilellehs in search of the animal, now
here, now there, but no sign of a beast
could they see to make the sounds. At

trees, vines, &c., &ct, in the lower
counties, and says in most cases the
statistics furnished amount to nostatis.tics at all, and are worse than nothing.
Better that no returns were made than
to give such meagre figures, which in
nine cases out of ten are the merest
guess work, the Assessors taking no
