And nil the night the heavens shine. With Inster of a light divine.

Swift como the hours of Joy and cheer, Of loving friend and kindred dear; Of gifts and bounties In tho air, Sped by tho "Merry Christmas prayer.

Scribner. Monday night was the coldest up to date. A happy Christmas to all our patrons and readers. Sleighing is excellent, and It snows a little every day, keeping it so. Mrs.

White will sell Millinery goods at greatly reduced prices for the next 30 days. An exchange saj's, truly wo think that the "dearest spot on earth" is the store that don't advertise.

G. Gates. The people are to meet at Sheridan, to talk over their legislative needs, on the 28th Inst. next Saturday. The river at this oity closed with ice on the night of the 18th and next morning pedestrians were crossing.

Last winter it did not close at all, here. There never before was suoh a display of holiday goods In this oity. One may get any kind of a present they want, aud everything is exceed ingly cheap. Mike Barada and Vanlooven had a knock down a few days ago. We lear it was a draw battle, but neither of them was seriously pounded.

The cause of the trouble wo are not advised of. People are in the city from twenty miles around to purchase their holiday goods and groceries. Cause why Well, because our merchants sell goods cheaper than those of any other town or city in southeast Nebraska. The pleaiaut jingle of sleigh bells have been heard on our streets constantly during the past ten days. This "beautiful snow" is a winter luxury not enjoyed-often here.and not at all for the past three winters.

We have frequent snows, but they go about as quick as they come, but this one is making a lengthy stay. The lady that bought the hood at McGeo Moore's and then came to J. L. McGee's and exchanged the poor hood for a good one without consulting anyone in the house, will save expense l3' calling and explaining how it happened. Cull early, as vou are well known.

If vou want goyJs at low prices, you must call on Arf'nr -I J. ltllVC. Sometime since, when the accident occurred, we gave an account of the killing of a horse belonging to Mr. McCandless by a team rapidly driven by George Draiu, of Nemaha City. Mr.

McCandlesa sued the father of Drain for the value of the horse. The trial was had on Saturday last before Judge Hulburd. Ajurygavea verdict against defendant for $75 and costs of suit. Editor Nebraska Advertiser. A few weeks ago you published some correspondence between Elder Coryell and Rev W.

P. Shockey, regarding a proposed debate between them, as to the mooted question of endless punishment. I am not writing at present to discuss that matter, but to say that in my opinion Mr. Coryell's excuse, given, for refusing to meet Mr. Shockey, is pretty "thin." So far as I have heard, this is the general opinion amongst "outsiders," and to some extent in the churches, including that which Mr.

Coryell represents. Coryell knows, or ought to know, that although TJniversalism is without organization here and in mariy places, yet Universalists, or the various beliefs, unorthodox, who agree that future eternal punishment is a myth, are very numerous, and need light, if they are in darkness, no difference whether they belong to a church organization, or society, or not. But Mr. Coryell refuses to let his light shine he prefers to keep it hid, forsooth, because Mr. Shockey is the only Universaliat preacher in Nebraska! Now, that, certainly is a most flimsy pretext.

and others, think the true reason is, that Mr. C. nor any of the Elders, are intellectually and educationally able to cope with Mr. Shockey in a Biblical discussion, and they appreciate the fact. In other words, they fear to meet Shockey face to face before an intelligent and critical audience.

Your correspondent, Mr. Editor, does- not believe either Coryell's or Shockey's doctrines, fully, but is a Free Thinker. Oil, codfish and bacon. S. C.

"And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field keeping watch over their flocks by night; and lo, the angel of tho Lord came upon them, aud tho glory of the Lord shone round about them and the augel said unto them, 'Fear not, for I bring you good tidings of great joy which shall be to all people, for unto you is born this day in tho city of David, a Son, which is Christ, the And suddenly there was witli the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, 'Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward A few days of very cold weather. Be ready with your gifts, for a Chrintinas Tree will be ready to receive them at the Methodist Church, December 24th.

There was a wedding at the residence of Judge Peery on the evening of December 19th. Mias Mary Peery and Mr. Henry Cole were the two who took upon themselves the holy vows of marriuge. Elder Young asked the impoitant questions and pronounced the affirmutiou of the sacred contract husband and wife. The "unlawful" banging of a man is outrageous; the "lawful" hanging of a man is equally outrageous.

Both show a low civilization, and weak Christianity. Yei, we own up to tho "mortification" of "that election." But we are much more mortified to hear one who wnioucen standard bearer in the Republ.can party rejoice at the well, we can't write it. Christmas The word is full of cherished memories. Oh, tho Christmas times in years agone and far away. Could amid those scenes, have believed I would to-day be writing a Christmas greeting in far off Nebraska.

How often is "truth stranger than fiction" in some lives. Just wiit, reader, until I dry mine eyes, 'there you know I have great elasticity of truth so I will hie me back to present scenes. For fourteen years I have given the people a greeting through the Advertiser. The Advertiser and I have been cIobo friends ever since my sojourn in this beautiful land, and I love the Advertiser; it seems a part of my identity; there would be something laokiug about me without it, and I may eaj, without egotism, there would be something lacking lo it without me. I love tne dear old paper love as uone can know but those "who have peuned their inspirations." And now I vill wish "The Advertiser boys, and the old man too," Merry Christmas; and readers all, I wish you a Merry Christmas, and may we all join with the angels in singing, "Peace on earth, good will to men." I am so glad are not 3011 that angels and men nriay sing together, the same song It is beautiful and gives us prophetic vision down the unread history of the future, to see in the "dispensation of the fullness of time, all things gathered in Christ, when every kneeshall bow and every tongue confess that he is Lord, to the glory of God the Father." Amen.

Nebraska City'iVeu'S. To Hon J. C. Watson, the District Attorney elect of Otoe county, belongs the oredit for the planning of the way, in which the confession was gotten out of Jackson. Mr.

An excellent appointment. "Notwithstanding the Red and Blue Ribbon movements, Fred Funke's business has increased over that of last year $20,000." Stale Journal. Fred Funke's business is that of wholesale dealer in intoxicating Fred, if he tells the truth, ought lo be a strong advocate of the temperance movement in the State, for as per his logic, the more rapid the ad-vanco of tho cause, and the more who cease to drink, the more iiis business Increases. At the rate that men have espoused the temperance principles and practices, and that Fred's exchequer has increased in consequence thereof, he will soon be so well heeled that he can retire and go into some decent business. Spirit of the Hour: Mrs.

A new paper, Republican, called tho Nonpareil, has been started at Kearney. Seward Reporter Never has a legislature assembled rIn this state with better opportunities for good legislation than the one to assemble in January next, with a revised code of laws carefully prepared for their con sideration and no U.

S. Senator to elect. Yet tho members will find their time too short to carefully scru tinize and digest all the provisions of the different acts. Haty legislation ia a curse to any state, and gives ex tra employment to lawyers. We have been favored with a copy of report of the commission to revise the statutes, by thelcierk, and.

find therein some good suggestions aud changes from piesentlaws. As the legislature will in all probability adopt the revision with a few ohanges, it ought to make some revision to have the most im portant laws published in the newspapers of the state as soon as passed, so people can find out the nature of the laws they are required to obey and gee enforced.

Tho Peru Herald aays the postmaster at Nemaha City, "occasionally cannot read the addresses on newspapers." If those addresse3 are not more legible than the print of the Herald we don't blame him he'd have to be a first rate clairvoi'aut to do so.
