Uloomsburo, December C Owing to the
continued lll-health of Judge Elwell Prcsi-
dent Judgo Pershing was called from
Schuylkill to-day to hold tho regular scss.
Ion of court. The trial list Is unusually
largo, and It Is likely that extra sessions
will have to bo held to finish tho business.
Judge Elwcll's Indisposition Is of a serious
nature, and for some timo past he has had
to depend on the assistance of his brethren
of the bench in neighboring counties.
Judge Elwcll's friends will be pleased to
know that the above Is untrue so far as his
health is concerned, tie 19 much better in
every way, and Is rapidly Improving, and
there is llttlo doubt that by spring ho will
bo able to resume bis duties on the bench
As will appear by tho court proceedings,
he presided in court all day on Monday,
charged the grand jury, delivered several
opinions, and heard motions Most of the
cases on the argument list have been dis
posed of, or continued because they were
not ready to bo heard, and the trial list Is
not unusually large, In fact would be un.
usually small ir almost the entire list for
September had not been continued by tho
attorneys, on account of the inconvenience
of tho Opera Houso for trying cases. As
for oxtra sessions, such a thing has not en.
tcred thi mind of any one, as there h not
tho slightest occasion for them.

Chinese lady, and their two Chinese chil
dren. They all appear dressed In real Chi-
neso costumes, sing Chinese songs, play on
Cblncso musical instruments, and illustrate
a Chinese wedding. There will also bo a
"Curio Art Exhibition," containing a grand
collection of Chinese and Japanese won
ders, oddities, works of art, &c. It will
evidently be, as nearly ns possible, as tho
bills state, like an excursion to China. Ono
ticket admits to, both entertainment and
exhibition. The tickets are being offered
for sale, at a comparatively low price, by
the ladles conducting tho enterprise. In
connection wiih tho entertainment, the la
dies will provide a supper, nt which, tea
mado by the Chinese themselves will be
dispensed, and a Chlncso napkin, as a
souvenir will bo furnished to each one par
taking. You may also try to handle chop,

In the way of preparing for tho above
novel and interesting entertainment, tho
ladles who have it In charge, will begin by
serving a supper on Friday evening, De

the church. They will be ready to receive
guests as early as 5 o'clock p. m , and pro
vido them with oysters in almost any style,
together with other seasonable dishes. It

that be was on the side of temperance,, and
hoping no man of hit congregation woujd
bo guilty of signing a license paper, hold
ing them more responsible than the liquor
seller.
Mr. J. Ctcvcllng agreed that God and
prayer were the proper weapons in this
warfaro, but Mr. Thos. Edgar thought all
the armor mult be put on, and tho pow
der must be kept dry, that .the ballot must
bo a weapon to destroy this monster, and
that Christian people must hang together,
or most assuredly their sons will hang sep
arately. "Five Cents a Glass" was recited In elear
distinct tones by Miss Efflo Fahrlnger.
Mrs. Whltmeyer, vice president of tho
Lutheran Church, feelingly spoke of tho
dcslro of every member of tho Union to bo
an Instrument in tbo band of God to save
tho youn and rescue those who wero al
ready slaves from a drunkard's gravo.
After singing, "No Compromise," and a
prayer, tho audience reluctantly dispersed,
feeling tbe two hours well spent, and that
thero was a band of earnest workers in
their midst, few in numbers, but strong In
faith, that by tho help of God their sons
and daughters would bo saved from (bis
serpent that is destroying ono hundred
thousand every year, of tho fairest and
best, all over ourllquor-cursed land. How
can we boast It is the land ot the free
