dresses, dialogues, recitations, and appro
priate singing, by the children. Exercises

Adults, 15 cts., children, 10 cts.
SuitrrasE.—We understand that on
Christmas eve, the members of the Luther
an church choir, surprised their loader,
Mr. Thos. It. Supplee, by a valuable
Christmas present. Such noble acts of
kindness and good feeling is truly encour
aging, and no doubt that Prof. S. 'feels
very grateful to the donors, for the `val
uable offering.
THE FAIR.—The Fair of the Colum
bia Fire Company, in Odd Fellows' Hall,
is still progressing, and . meeting with a
good share of success. No doubt a large
sum will be realized. The ladies who
have the matter in charge deserve great
praise, they have displayed great taste in
their decoration of the Hall, the style
being new, and presents a very handsome
appearance. Lot all, who feel, au interest
in base ball, go to the Fair to-night, and
vote for their favorite Club. A Silver Ball
and Silver mounted Bat, will be presented
to the Club receiving the highest number
of votes.
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.

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.
