tatmtott Ipectatot. TUESDAY, JAKUARY 3, 1882. Christmas Desecrated. The manner in which Christmas is now celebrated is more of a desecration than a suitable celebration of the birth of the Redeemer. This seems to have been the case especially last week, not only here, but in other places.

Monday, the day that was observed as the Christmas fell on marked with unusual disorder and intoxication, especially by the colored people, who were guilty of much more than usual misbehavior, and instead of that day's being celebrated in a becoming manner, it was most outrageously desecrated. Whilst we have no sympathy with the narrow, contracted, morose, and intolerant views of the Puritans, who seem to disliise that any one should enjoy themselves in this life, yet we believe that if the celebration is to be degraded into a more than heathenish observance, and to become the occasion of the indulgence in vice and crime, disorder and sin, that it would be better to follow the example of the Puritans, and not to celebrate that day at all. Wii-en a celebration or observa.ie.-jr comes perverted from its true character, especially when such as should be sacred becomes the occasion of vice and disorder, it should be abandoned, unless the manner of its observance be reformed. Though not at all Puritanical in our views or feelings, yet the manner in which Christmas is usually observed by many has always seemed to us to be not only incongruous, but sinful. On that occasion persons should be merry, Cheerful, nnd charitable, but should not indulge le.

rice, inebriety, disorder, -i pugnacity. If this great anniversary cannot be- iv a proper manner, it be-better not to brate it at a quiet and pn leful w.tj iv out h.vfs--3. If this be make the most c.f it. CHAEIT A-B'l impression prevsto, we iiope wi'hout foundation, that the ou- of tbe charitable Institute one of this lace, W. Li.

Asylum and the the education of the Deaf and Blind, are to be removed on account political considerations. This, we consider, would be the very heigh, ofoul rage. These Institutions and their Ow' eminent have no connection whale 1 with polities, aud it will be a sad day when they will become the mere sob jects of partisan politics. To make these Institutions the subjects of partisan politics, would shock the sense of the whole people, and would produce a revulsion which would react upon the party that would be guilty of such an outrage. These officers are in no sense political, and should not be affected by political changes of party.

Railroad Accident in Pennsyl- and Lancaster. Saturday morning. The west-bound freight train loose and another ran into it. A smash-up erwaed, and 90011 aiterwards another freiglit train came along and ran into the wreck. The whole mass took fire.

Two men wfko burned to death and two or three injured badly, one beyond recovery. Another man is missing; it is supposed he is somewhere in the wreck. New State yesterday, the lately elected State officer entered upon their duties as officc-rs- Col. Wm. E.

Hon John F. Lewis, Lt. Governor, ant Capt- Frank S. Blair, Attorney-Gene ral. We suppose the message of tin Governor Cameron will be received to day.

We expect to publish it in ou: next issue, and suppose it will be i well-written document as Gov. Cameron is a man of talents and literary culture. Injured by the Burst of a Winchester, on Monday last week, as we learn from the Times. whilst firing a Christmas salute, a heavily loaded musket burst in the hands ol officer Wm. R.

Jones, of the police force. His collar-bone was broJien and his shoulder severely bruised by the force of the concussion. His injuries were attended- to by Dr. S. T.

Holliday. He is still suffering severely. Murdered and Christmas day, in the suburbs of Lexington, the body of Wm. Fox, a white man, was found. It seems that he was killed by a blow on the bead with a stone, and robbed.

The victim was from Middlebrook in this county, and was at work on the Richmond and Alleghany Railroad, as were al3o his father and brother. Row in row at the Ohio Valley Cement Mills, six miles from Jeffersonville, Indiana, Saturday night a week, between white and colored workmen, resulted in the killing of Henry Mitchell, colored. If this had occurred in Virginia or any other Southern State there would have been a great outcry in the Northern States about it. Marriages of Persons on Morris' Creek, Fayette W. la3t Mr.

Enoch Carver, of Carver Coal operators on Morris's Creek, near Coal Valley, W. was married at Plymouth, Pennsylvania, and on the week before, Manager Jones, of I. Davis's works on the same creek was married. Fiendish learn from the Coal Valley Courier that, on the 28rd of December, an attempt was made to blow up a house with a keg of powder in which an old man and his family lived at Union Coal Company, W. Though the house was damaged, no injury was done to the occupants.

Death of Mrs. Rev. W. W. estimable lady, the wife of the eloquent Rev.

W. W. Walker, of Westmoreland county, died week before last. She was worthy of her distinguished husband, with whom we deeply sympathize in his irreperable loss.

Greenbrier Independent says that "a church with I me, of seventeen members, was at Sewell Station on the cake and Ohio Railroad on the December, 1881, by Revs. James and J. H. Lewis, with elders Johnson and S. Warner, a tee appointed for this purpose at meeting of Greenbrier Presby-eiy.

Dr. J. P. Hughart, who had previously served as an elder in Mossy Creek church, in Augusta county, was elected aud installed into that office and John Kay was elected, ordained, and installed into the office of deacon. Two others, one of whom had served in (hat capacity in Fayette churcb were electesi elders, and one other was elected deacon but have not yet signified their acceptance.

There are sixty or more families living at this place aud no Dther organization as yet. This makes the sixth church organized in this Presbytery within a little more than a OCCURRENCIES IN DANVILLE, Mr. R. Nichols, of North Danville, attempted suicide Saturday week by shoot iug himself. He fired three times, one ball passing through his scalp, one through his hat and the other missing his body.

No cause is assigned for his act, nor is he considered in a critical condition. On Monday, the 26th Officer Williams attempted to arrest a coiored man and was struck twice on the head with a rock. He was able to appear at the Police Court Tuesday morning, and all over the country during the Christinas holidays. All such excess makes votes for "local Charlottesville Chronicle. Is it not an outrage upon civilization, not to say Christianity, that the anniversary of the birth of the Redeemer should be celebrated, or ruther desecrated, in that way If this anniversary cannot be celebrated ia a more becoming manner, it would be better to abolish it as a holiday altogether.

Catamounts Greenbrier Independent says that, "within the past week, two Catamounts have been killed In the River Hills, between Lewisburg and Greenbrier river, by Messrs. Carter Hunter and Wm. Peters, One of the animals measured four and the other fourand a half feet in length." These are what are commonly called wildcats. President of the Richmond and Alleghany- see it stated that Mr. W.

H. Barnum, chairman of the executive committee, has purchased all the interests of ex-secretary Blame in the Richmond and Alleghany railroad, and has been elected president of the company owning that road. The St. Gothard St. Gothard Tunnel through the Alps is completed, and the trial trip of Railway'on the 20th was highly successful.

St. Petersburgh, December rioting at Warsaw lasted threo days during which time many Jews were killed and injured, three houses ami shops wrecked, aud the Jewish quar ters given over to sack. The desire oi the authorities to restrain the mob is doubtful. London, December dispatch from St.

Petersburgh says that the num ber of persons arrested at Warsaw for participation in the riots there is 3,000 A Disorderly spirit of misrule seemed to have fui sway on Monday. There was mon drunkenness and disorderly condup thau we have ever seeu on "a holiday The colored people were demonstrative, and several "race tsonfiiets" occurred. xNumerous fights occurred, and consequently there was a good many black eyes aud a few broken heads. The police force was increased, and many arrests were made, but the streets did not regain their wonted quietness until darkness and the heavy rain quelled the ardor of the celebrauts Winchester Times. The clean sweep urged by the Boss and his organ will be the dirtiest sweep ever swept; for the broom of the Boss does not put out, but gathers in the Richmond State.
