For some reason the Secretary of . the Teachers' Institute did not supply 1 1 he Columbian with the proceedings f( r last week's issue. The fact that they appeared in another paper last week, is no evidence of our lack of , enterprise, but is eviderce that the secretary discriminated, to our detri ment.

Feeble and capricious appetites are best regulated by the use of Aycr's Cathartic Pills. They do not debili tate, by excessive stimulation ; but cause the stomach, liver, and bowels to perform their functions properly. As an after dinner pill, they are un cipjaled. The mild weather lias had a tenden cy to depress the holiday trade, but still none of our business men arc com plaining.

The Lutheran ciiurch was trimmed with handsome arches of trailing pine, wreaths and a large cross covered with evergiecn suspended over the pulpit latform. Tile Christinas eve exercises were, by the small children principally and consisted of songs, recitations and dialogues, and a Santa CDus chimney built of real brick ap parently, but when torn down it was discovered that each brick was a pa per box filled with sweet-meats which the? children enjoyed immensely.

Iviiapp, died at her home on north Main street on Monday evening, Dec ember 2i:t, at 5:45 o'clock, after an illness of long duration. For the past six mouths she was unable to leave the house, and tiie immediate cause of death was paralysis brought cn by dia betes. She was a daughter of Peter Vannatta, and Matia Pidlernan. The families of both of her parents came hcie from New Jersey about 1790. Peter Vannatta located out beyond Irondale, and built the stone house now owned by Mathias Shaffer's estate. He sold the land to the Irondale Com- I juny where the furnace now stands. Litis Bidleman located down by the river. He gave tome portion of the land now owned by the Episcopal con gregation to build the first church upon. The family of Peter Vannatta consist ed of Mrs. Catharine Hendershott, Miss Maigaret Vannatta, Mrs. C. F. Knapp. Ellis Vannatta, Thos. Vannat U and B. II. Vannatta. Mrs. Knapp was married to Christian Frederick Knapp on the 13th day of August 1846, by Rev. I. .M r role in this town. The result of this union was fue child ren, namely, Caroline, wife of W. F. Bodine : Sophia, wife of J. Harvey Long of California ; Mary C., wife of G. S. Robbins. Peter E. Knapp, and John E.

Mrs. Knapp was a member of the Episcopal church from girlhood. She was a woman of strong christian char acter, very charitable to the poor, act ive in church work, and a most affec tionate wife and mother. She wiil be missed by all who knew her, but by none as by the husband with whom she has lived for forty-five years, and the children who cared for her so tend erly in her years of suffering. Her age was 66 years, 2 months and 3 days. Tl e funeral took place at the house on Tl ursday afternoon at 2 o'clock, Rev. W. C.
