some weeks ago, his dog "treed" what wa
supposed to be a raccoon. Mr. King climb

ing it. Crippled as it was, it made at him

TEACHERS' INS —We have
been furnished with a detail carefully
prepared report of the p of the
Teachers' Institute, held in New 0 a
few weeks ago, which we should have the -
fully published, bad it reached us in due time.
The material facts, however, bate already
appeared in the condensed reports published
last week and the week before. We annex
the Resolutions adopted by the Institute, viz :,
1. That time has tested and proven the
utility of our County Institute; and that we
consider it to be an indespensable aid in se
curing the efficient working of our system of
popular education.
S. That it is the duty of all teachers to avail
themselves of the opportunity afforded by the
annual meeting of teachers in convention ;
and the few who, without good cause, have
failed to do so, have been faithless to the
cause in which we are engaged.
3. That we tender our thanks to the direc
tors, who have granted the time to attend
this convention; and sincerely regret that
some have been ao blinded to the best inter:
est of the community as not to grant the
time.
4. That we recognie in Mr. Sheely, our
efficient and worthy County Bnperintendent,
an earnest co-laborer in the cause of educa
tion ; and that the thanks of the Teachers of
Adams County, and friends of education
generally, are due him for the faithful man
ner in which he has discharged his laborious
duties.
G. That we recommend to the Teachers and
Directors of Adams County, Payson, Den
ton and Scribner's System of Pennmanship.
6. That- irregular attendance of pupils is
one of the greatest evils in our schools.
7. That we earnestly call upon all Teachers,
and friends of education in Adams County, to
unite with us in ,our efforts to elevate the
standard of teaching, and tondition of our
Common schools.
A number of Resolutions of thanks were
also adopted—to the Directors of Oxford dis
trict for the use of their School building ; to
the Trustees of the Lutheran church fbr the use
of the church ; to the members of the Choir for
music; to the - citizens of New Oxford for
their kindness and hospitality ; to the land
lords of the "Washington" and "Franklin
Hotels," for entertaining -teachers at reduced
rates; to the Gettysburg and Littlestown
Railroads for reduced fare ; to the gentlemen
whir delivered Addresses ; and to the officers
of the Institute for the faithfnl discharge of
duty.
The following Districts granted to their
Teachers permission to attend the sessions of
the Institute, which ran through five days
viz :—Gettysburg, Hampton, Liberty, Free
dom, Oxford, Berwick Borough, Hamilton.
Conowago, Reading, Straban, Mountjoy,
SPECIAL COURT.—The Special Court,
held last week for trial of postponed civil
cases, adjourned on Friday, threecases hav
ing been disposed of, viz:
r - CATHARINE GORDON, now LIVINORTONE,
Adrninistratrix with the will annexed of
Ramey GORDON, decd, vs. A. D. GORDON
Administrator of WILLIAM EYLER, deceas
ed. Plaintiff claimed to recover on sealed
note executed . in 1850, by WILLIAM EYLER,
deceased, with interest. The defendent plead
payment with leave, (ix., and called w lines
se. to prove conversations with and ad
missions of HENRY GORDON, in his lice-time,
in aid of the common law presumption of
payment from lapse of time. The Jury be-
I ieving this equitable defence had been made
out, rendereda verdict for defendant.
Caledonia Cold Springs Company vs.
Cumberland Valley Mutual Protection Com
pany. Suit to recover on Policy of Insur
ance for 05,000, the Springs building having
been destroyed by fire on the night of Dec.
24, 1862, as was supposed, by incendiarism.,
The Defendants refused payment on the
ground that the Plaintiffs had abandoned the
building and that it was untenanted at time
of fire, claiming that thereby the risk had
been increased and the policy voided. Thr
Court ruled out the offer of defendants to
prove these facts, as not being, even if estab
lished, a legal defence—that an Insurance
company, insuring a.dwelling or building as
sumes as part of the risk the hazard of tem
porary non-occupancy. Verdict, under in
structions of the Court for $6,413.33, amount
of insurance and interest.
JOHN GRIBBLE and Ginsox Sutra, Ad
ministrators of HANNAH BOWERS, deceased,
vs. JACOB SrrrzELL. Plaintiffs claimed to
recover balance on bond of $l,OOO, dated
April 1, 1864, executed by defendant, and
also for moneys had and received by defen
dent for use of HANNAH BOWERS. Defen
dant plead payment with leave, and set-off,
and undertook to show that neither the
bond or moneys received were to be paid,
but were to be cancelled by services render
ed by defendant- The evidence not being
satisfactory to the Jury, a verdict was ren
d4ed for Plainti MI for $889.52.1
and Hamiltonban. Menallen and Lerwick
tp., each granted three days ; Mountpleasant
two days , ; Highland, one-half the time. Th;
following Districts declined to grant the time,
viz :—Cumberland, _Franklin, Latimore, Hunt
ingdon, Tyrone, 'Union, 'Germany and Little s
town.
The importance of these annual meetings
of Teachers, as efficient aids in the develop
ment and improvement of the Common
School system, is begining to be generally
accepted. The law recognizes them, and we
hope to see the time when Directors will not
only grant the time but require their Teachers
to attend these Institutes, and when every
Teacher Will regard it his duty to be present.

CHRISTMAS.—The Christmas holidays
are rapidly approaching, and doubtless vis-
ions of "Santa Claw" and "grins Hinkle"
—candies andoUgar plums—have for weeks
been disturbing the dreams of the little
folks, while the waking , thoughts of older
b s have been equally busy in looking up
gills • d arranging for a proper observance
of the l'ireat festival. Rooogniied by the
Catholic, Episoopal, and German churches
generally, as en of the most important fes
tivals in the ecollical calendar, it is rap
idly being accepted by akl classes as a season
of hilarity and good will. The festival, as
everybody knows, is design to commem
orate the birth of our Saviour, anni N hence its
name, Christman—derived from the Latin
words, Christus (Christ) and .Afissus (±larit)
—literally, Christ-sent. The time of year
which the mysterious incarnation of the Son
of God occurred, is involved in doubt. The
narrative in the inspired record, as to the
shepherds who watched their flocks by night,
the finding of the babe in the manger at Beth-
lehem, (57. c., makes it probable at lea.st.that it
did not occur in mid-winter. Indeed the
Christian Church in the first and second cen
turies was much divided on this point—the
festival being observed by different portions
of it in almost every month , of till year,
from January to December.
The fixing of the 25th of December was the
act of Jurll . us 1., the Pope or Bishop of Rome
rom 337 to 352, A. D., this date correapond-
ing with the period then observed in most
of the Western, in contra-distinction to the
Eastern, Churches. The selection of this
date was doubtless largelyinfluenced by the
fact that the Pagan nations generally ob
served the same period as a festival in honor
of their deities, which, under various names,
symbolized the Sun or Fire. Out of the
same fact largely grew the custom of ma
king gifts, wreathing churches in ever
greens, erecting Christmas trees, Sc., which
now characterize our Christmas observances.
The Goths, Saxons, and Celtic nations
generally in Northern and Western Europe,
were worshippers of the Sun or Fire, and re
garding the Winter Solstice as a most im
portant part of the year—the beginning of
Oho renewed life and activity of the forces of
nature—these nations from the oldest times
celebrated this season with the greatest fes-
tivities, in honor of their great deity, Odin
or Woden, (Sun), in whom these forces of
nature were symbolized. Hence the Yule
least, in commemoration of the return of the
fiery "sun-wheel," among the Germans,
who believed that during the twelve nights
from December 25 to January 6, they'could
trace the personal movements and interfe
rence on earth of their great deities, in
breaking up the icy chains of Winter. Du
ring this season, the people gave themselves
up to rejoicing and feasting. Work and bu
siness were suspended ; houses were decked
with laurels and evergreens; fires were kin
dled in and out of doors; presents w4re
made by parents to children, and exchanged
between friends. Among the ruder nations,
(the Druids especially), the festival degener
ated into the most licentious orgies, accom
panied by sacrifices of cattle, and even hu
man life, to propitiate their deitier. As
Christianity spread into Western Europe
the power of the Church was brought to bear
upon these pagan rites; but denunciation
failing to suppress them, the Christian festi
val of Christmas was introduced as a substi
tute; and hence the customs of mak ng
presents, decking churches with evergreens.
the visitations of Santa Claus, ,t.c. (borrowed
from the pagan festivals), which have been
super-added to the religious observances
prescribed by the Church.
Whatever the origin of these customs, they
are now time-honored. Prudently conduct
ed, they become innocent sources of pleas
ure, and we believe in their observance.—
While duly honoring the religious festival,
which commemorates the great love of God
in the gilt of his Son for the redemption of a
sin-ruined world, let it also be marked in
every household as an occasion of repiicing
and good-alai. Especially let the hearts of
the little ones be made glad by joyous antic
ipations
and still' more joyous realizations,
even if their fore-castings do not rise above
visions of "sugar plums." Welcome "San
ta Claus," with his merry, good-natured
face, and pockets full of toys; don't he
afraid of a little fun. Put up the "Christ- I
etas Tree," and let it be loaded with memen
toes of affection and good-will, as between
Parents and children, brothers and sisters,
friends and relatives. Let the '•ol.t folks"
become children again, while the "little
folks" have life's pathway lighted up with
glad memories of Christmas eve. Make
home supremely happy for at least one day
in the year. Nor stop there. Let. your sym
pathies go out broadly and freely on Christ
mas eve, and while you light up your own
homes with kindly greetings and innocent
mirth, see to it that those who feel the pinch
ing pressure of poverty, share the bounties
wherewith Providence has blessed you.—
Remember the poor.
We conclude this "local," by reproducio g,
for the benefit of our young readers, CLEM
ENT C. MoORE's fanciful sketch of the visit
of St. Nicholas, on Christmas eve, which
they have doubtless all read and re-read,
but which, we feel assured, they will be
glad to see again in print :
A 'VISIT FROM ST. NICHOLAS
TV/AS*lm night before Christmag, when nll through tbe
house
Not a creature was stirring. not even a mouse;
The stalkinge were hung by the chimney with cars,
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there ;
The children were nestled all snug In their beds,
While liBlolls of sugar-plums danced in their beads;
And mamma in her kerchief, and I in my cap,
Lied just settled our brains for a long winter's nap ;
When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from my bed to see what was the matter
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
Tore open the shutters, and threw up the sash.
The moon on the breast of the new fallen snow
'lave the lustre tlimid-day to objects below;
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear.
But • miniature sleigh and eight tiny reindeer,
With a little old driver, so lively and quick,
I knew in a moment it must be Bt. Nick.
More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,
And he whistled and shouted and called them by name :
"Now, Dasher/ now, Dancer! how Prancer! and nun
On, Cbinet! on, Ctipid! on , . Dander! and .liken!
To the top of the porch, to the top of the 'wail I
Now dash sway I dash away! dash away,
n il!"
As dry Waves that before the wild hurricene fiy,
When they meet with an obstacle mount to the sky;
Bo up to the housetop the coursers they it,
With the sleigh full of toys and Bt. Niche too ; '
And then in a twinkling I heard on the roof
The prancing and pawing of each little ho i d.
As I drew in my head and was turning aroind,
Down the chimney Bt. Nicholas come with a bound.
He was dressed al! In fur from hie heed to his toot,
Arid his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and eon ;
A bundle of toys he had Bang on his back,
And he looked like a peddler just opening is pack.
His eyes, bow they twinkled ! his dimplea k how merry !
His cheeks were likening's, his nose like a cherry
His dear little mouth was drawn up like a bow,
And the beard of hie chin was white as the stow;
The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth,
And thesmoke it encircled his head like a wreath.
He had a brosidfin* and a little round belly, '
Thatihook when he laughed like a bowlful of jelly ;
He was chubby and plamp,a right jolly old el{
And 'laughed when I saw him in spite of mind/ _
A wink of his eye ands Wilt of his head _
Boon gave me to know I bad nothing to dread. •
He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,
And Ailed all the stock'ngs 7 then turned with a jerk,
Aid brims him finger addeofhis labs,
Abd gtyfng • and, up the chimney he roes.
He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gars a whistle',
And away thew all flaw like the down of a thistle—
But I beard hi= exclaim, as he drove out of sight,
''Merry Ohrtsbnas to all, and Mail a good-night

525 MILES
OF THE
UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD,
1 UNNL.VG WEST FROM OMAHA
ACROSS THE CONTINENT,
ARE NOW COMPLETED
This brings the line to the eastern base of the Rocky
&fountains, and It is expected that the track will be laid
thirty miles further, to Evans Pass, the highest poidt on
the'rceld, by January. The maximum grade from the
foot of the mountains to the summit in but eight: feet to
the mile, while that of many eastern roads is over one
hundred. Wosk in the rock-cuttings on the western
elope will continue through the winter, and there is now
no reason to doubt that the entire grand line to the Pa
ciao will be open for business in 1470.
The means provided fdr the construction of this Great
National Work are ample. The United States grants its
Six Per Cent. Bonds at the rate of from $16,000 to $49,000
per mile, for which it takes a seJond lien u security, and
receives payment toe huge if not to the full extent of its
claim in services. These Bonds are issued as each twen
ty mile section is finished, and after it has been examin
ed by United States Commissioncrrs and pronounced to be
in all respects • fleet-clam road, thoroughly supplied
with depots, repairshops, stations, and all the necessary
rolling stock and other equipments.
The United States also makes a donation of 12,600 acres
of laud to the mile, which will be a source of large reve
nue to the Company. Much of this. land in the Platte
Talley is among tLe most fertile in the world, and other
large portions are covered with heavy pine forests snd
abound lu coal of the beat quality.
The Company is also atithorisad to Lanus its own first
Mortgage Bonds to an amount equal to the issue of the
Government and no more. lion. IL D. Morgan and lion.
Oakes Amen are Trustees for the Bondholders, and deliver
the Bonds to the Company only as the work progreases,
so that they always represent an actual and prodnctive
valor.
The authorized capital of the Company is One Hunt
red Million Dollars, of which overflve millions have been
paid in upon t‘e work already done.
Earnings of the Company
At present, the profits of theompany are derived on
ly from its local traffic, but this is already much more
than sufficient to - pay the interest on all the Bonds the
Company can I.ane, if not another mile were built. It is
not doubted that when the road is completed the through
traffic of the only line connecting the Atlantic and Pa
cific Staten will be large beyond precedent, and, as there
will be no competition, it can always be done at profit
able rates.
It will be noticed tir.t the Union Pacific Railroad is,
in fact, a Government work, built under the supervision
of Government (Akers, and to a large extent with GOT.
ernment money, and that itsibonds are issued tinder Go-
vernment direction. It is believed that no similar se
curity is so carefully guarded\ and certainly no other is
based upon a larger or more valuable property. As the
Company's
First Mortgage Bonds
are offered for the present at 90 CENTS ON THE DOL
LAR, they are the cheapest security in the market, be
ing more than 15 per cent. lower than U. A. Stocka.—
They pay
6 PER CENT. IN GOLD,
or over NINE PER CENT. upon the investment. Sub
scriptions will be received in Gettysburg, Pa., by the
FIRST NATIONAL BANK, and
GETTYSBURG NATIONAL BANE,
and in New York at the Company's Office, No. CO Nassau
street, and by
CONTINENTAL NATIONAL BANK, No. 7 Nassau st

other funds par in New York, and the Bonds will be sent
free of charge by return express. Parties subscribing
through local agents, will look to them for their safe do
livery.
A NBW PAMPHLET AND MAP,showing the Progress
of the Work, Resources for Construction, and Value of
Donde, may be obtained at the Company's Offices or of
