CHRIsTmA . s.--Christmas was observed in Columbia, as a general• holiday, and was a day of quietness. The saloons and. restaurants seemed-to be liberally patron ized. The firemen's fair in Odd Fellows' Hall, came in for a good. share of encour agement. " Mine host" of the Franklin House, treated. his friends and customers to egg-nog; - while Bootie,at his segar store, set out a splendid lunch of roast turkey, etc., and. all corners and goers chewed and smoked and smoked and chewed. Many of our skaters, both male and female, sought enjoyment. on the various ice "patches" in- the vicinity: Some sped. along as graceful as a swan in water ; and. others as awkward as .a dromedary on stilts ; but all enjoyed the exercise hugely. THE " COLD SNAP."—The cold has been very severe during the week. On Thursday night the 'wind 'blew 'a perfect gale, taring away awnings,• shutters, etc., and caused all who appeared on the street, to shudder at the fearful blasts of old boreal. The mercury lingers about zero. It is sad to know that there are many very needy persons' in our midst, "by friends and fortune quite disowned," who must suffer during the winter. unless / relieved by the benevolent and charitable. Nov is the: time for those in prosperous tircumstances to open their hearts, untie their purse -strings, and minister to the wants of the suffering poor. Let all such realize that it is " more blessed to give than receive." • CHRISTMAS TLLEE •AT TAE EPl§Cad.A.t. Cruenorr. 7 --The Sunday School children of St. Paul's Church, had a.delightfUl time on Thursday afternoon.. The Church has been more, taatefUlly deck4' thie Christ mas, than it has ever been heretofore. .On Thursday, a tree was put . up, and loaded with good and tasty things,' for the child-, rem. Three 'o'clock,• was- the_ hour fixed for the exercises to begin. At• that time the children, together:with some ,of their parents, and friends, assembled in - the Church, and for an hour and a half were as happy as could be. The' singing of the '.children was excellent, all the pieces sung. ,being -, of the ;Christmas stamp. Arnong those deserving of special notice, was a ChristmaS Anthem; `sung :12 - y Alice Long and Carrie Jacobs," two of the Sabbath School children. The..•scholars • received their presents with a refreshing thankful ness and:satisfaction, and the whole affair passed off so as to cause all to feel 'that it was a perfect success. We always rejoice at the occurrence of such 'meetings, since their effect is to every one good. Rept. ~~ ~ i ~~ MASONIC SUP.P.E.R.-SP., John's Day, the 27th inst., was duly celebrated in Col umbia, by a supper given in the evening, by Columbia ,Lodge, No. 286, A. Y. M., at` Dietrich's Bellevue House.. At half-past 8 o'clock, the brethren with invited guests, assembled and sat down to a sumptious repast. The tables were loaded with"every delicacy that could be wished for—indeed they fairly groaned with yuxurie.s. This grand repast which "_ly.tindinst '!„4"Vietrich had provided, - was worth Y -the min and the occasion; and reflects credit, not only on himself, but his "better half." The manner in which the entertainment was gotten up and conducted, does infinite credit to the good taste and untiring assi duity of the committee, (especially the Chairman,) under whose charge it was. We will not say who eat the most, but there was two Conductors who seemed to run the table,—a worker in metals who, did well, and a segar dealer who was soun d on the goose. The whole affair proved so very successful, that a similar meeting for next season will be looked forward to with pleasure. RARE LIQUOR.—Dr. _Hinkle has left at our office, a sample of old rye, which was made near Mount Joy, eighteen years ago, and is about the best of its kind, in Lancaster County. This rare liquor is from the store of Britton it Musser, drug gists, Marietta, Pa., and was sold to them Mu. Eorron:—l agree with "True Blue," your correspondent of last week, when he suggests the election of Holm blicans to ou r Borough offices ; but I am not opposed to a change for the better, by electing new men in place of some of those whose offi cial terms will expire at the end of the year. As the way is not at all remunera tive, it is rather imposing on good nature to ask the same men to serve the public all the time, when others equally patriotic, are as able and willing to serve as they. I often think, too, that ifwe had no cliques, rings or leagues, that covertly meet in private houses, offices and shops, to "fix things " before the election, and the people were 1 eft to make an unprejudiced selection, without being manipulated to suit partic ular individuals in localities, we would have better officers. I would like, there fore, to see new men selected, who rill act for the general interests of the town—ac tive, live, good men, who will do honestly and faithfully, whatever the necessities of the Borough require. Lot ns once try and do something for the general good, and re pudiate the one man policy, that has kept us in the slough of Despond for so many years. C. Met December 21st, Iscg.—A.
