The old people become children and the young are always happy, The pléensure and joy of the day is only increased by the tribulation in'the se-Jéction of Christmas presents just previous to theday. ~ Christmas -trees have yielded their fruit, and . is and _old."anite in _rejoicing in the fact that kind friends have remembered them, Each returning Christmas brings its joys, and such holidays are caleulated to -make men and women better and ‘happier. At such times the cares and trials of business should be ‘6rgotten, and only: the brightness and joy of lifé shuld be rémembered as the happy family gathers ground the ‘cheérful hearthstone, and the young and old unite in wishing each other ‘“‘A Merry Ohristmas.’’ While the storm pours down without,all should be happy on Christmas-day within. There is nothing thet: makes one féel happier’ than the conciousness of making others’ happy, therefore let those who have an abundance remember that there are persous whom the smiles of fortune do not. reach, and where’ no merry Christmas comes, unless by the hand of charity. temember the poor to-day, you. that have plenty.—_—_————_-—so» ----Arizona. We liad short interview with I. J. Ralfe of this city, who has recent_ly returned from a tear’ of inspection among the mines: of: Arizgna. He went down with the Gonnolly Bros., and traveled considerably in the territory. He gives” a very favorable opinion of the mines, and. thinks that if the Apaches. were. killed off, # more energetic population substitiited for’ the present Mexican mixture, and wood and water could be obtained, the part of Arizona he visited would be a good country. These slight: objections to tie country, of course will not détér settlers from going to Arizena, but-iff we proposed Marriage all Daveven. A queer matrimonial muddle. has just been settled in Herkimer county. YA certhin'ex-Sheriff of that county, . who passed much of his time jin Philadelphia, received word that his Wife was unfaithful to him, ead wrote her a sharp letter about it. Her resply was. equally sharp, and stung him into. bringing suit against her paratnour for destroying the peace of his family. Before the suit was concluded the paramour took the woman to Indiana, and procuted a chusetts and married her, then took her home,’ and commenced: suit ofhis wife’s character. Last week the suits werd both decided. The Sheriff. recéived-a verdict of $2,000 for his wife; the other man a verdict of $49 for his wife's injured reputa> tion. Both parties ery ‘‘quits.’’ and are glad the thing is over.—{ Watertown Times>—~ : _A DIvoRc# conse, founded upon the unusal plea: that the marriage .was compulsory and: contracted under protest, is perding in a Baltimore Court. The plaintiff.is the husband, who says*in July, 1871,: he was politely invitedyto the heuse of his father-in-law by that gentleman, who getting him there, was so anxious for arr intmediate marriage between his dgughten and the plaintiff that he held the latter a.prisoner, by threatening his life, while the clergyman who'had been provided performed theceremony, The plaintiff declares during the ceremony he added the the proviso, ‘If this is legal;’”’ and he now asks that the marriage may be declared null and void. He is not very likely to be gratified. Where is the Importance? Attorney General’ Love has gone the people against the. Central Pacific Railroad-Gompany, and many of the papers attach great importance to the case, beeause it’raisesthe-point as to: the right of the State to tax the railroad at all becausé it is chartered by Congress, and is therefoxa exemptas point was raised in theoase ofi the Union Pacifie Railroad in a Kansas case, and w do not presume-that the te settle there,we should borrow a wig in order that: our scwlp might . be taken with as little pain. as possible.

Stidger has resigned the position of School Trustee of San Jduan District, and Dr. Clark has been appointed in his place. When Judge Stidger several years ago entered upon the duties of Trustee, San Juan had one dilapidated school building. He left the district. with #s fine buildings, furniture, grounds and fixtures, as.can be found in any town of the State. Judge Stidger has taken a personal interest in al) these improvements, and devoted much time and labor in planting trees and work upon the grounds: The Judge deserves more credit. for the interest he has taken, from the fact that he has no children who are to be benefitted, but has acted: fon the good of the community.
