The Reformed Sunday School. , Last Sabbath we visited tbe Reformed Sunday School, of this place, which is alto gether tbe largest In town. The school Is in aprosprrnusaud flourishing condillon.under tho Supcrintendency ol Daniel Wieand,Esq., whom we are assured Is well-liked by teach ers and scholars. Tho session wai opened by the Superintendent, the school singing Uappy Songs," accompanied by the organ, played by our popular musio teacher, Prof. John F. Hulbacb. Rev. Derr, from Slating ton, the former pastor of the church, being present, offered prayer j another hvmo was sung j the school, by request of the Buperin lendeul, read In concert tbe Golden Text and Central Truth of the lesson for the day, The Teachers then lifted tho regular collec tion, and proceeded to the review of tbe les sons studied during the last quarter; the school usiug the International Sunday School Lessons, followed the regular custom of review. By request of Mr. Halbacb.we taught the class of young men under his charge, and spent a very pleasant and profitable half- hour in the review of the class on tbe lesson. The 6uicrintenlent then practiced the In fant classes in slnging.in preparation for the coming Christmas exercises, and after tbe dismissal of this party of very happy and ex cellent little singers, practiced the large school in tbe same manner theearnestaud animated singing in the school is quite a re markable feature, seldom seen In other schools) Mr. Wieand is a good singer and very excellent teacher. The report of the Secretary, Mr. George Kemerer, was read by classes j there were 21)8 scholars enrolled, and 251 present, be sides 21 teachers. The collection amounted to $2.54. The Infant department numbered 45 scholars, not having a aearate room in which to meet, it is divided into five or six classes and taught by as many teachers. Af ter singing another hymn, the school re peated the Lord's prayer, bclpg led by Rev, Hartman, the pastor, and then the school was dismissed by classes. The Assistant Superintendent is Mr. Wm II.

The day on which the nativity of the Saviour Is observed. Tbe Institution of this festival Is attributed by the spurious Decret als to Telesphorus, who flourished in the reign ofAntonlui Pius (130101 a. p.), but the first certain traces of It are found about tbe time of the Emperor Commodus (180 182 A. P.). In the reign of Diocletian (281 305 A. p.), while thai ruler was Aecping court at Nicomedla, he learned that a mul titude of Christiana were assembled in the city to celebrate the birthda? of Jesus, and havlngordercd the cuurch-doori to be closed, he set fire to the building, and all the Wor shippers perished in the flames. It does not appear, however, that there was any uniformity in the period ol observing the nativity among the early churches) some held the festival la the month of May or April, others in January. It is, neverthe less, almost certain that the 25th of Decem ber cannot be the nativity of the Savlour,for it is then the height of tbe rainy seasou in Judea, and shepherds could hardly be watching their flocks, by night in tbe plains. Christmas not only became the parent of many later festivals, such as those of the Virgin, but especially from tbe 5th to the 8th century, gathered round It, bs It ware, several other lestlvals, partly old and part ly newo that what may be termed a Chritl moi Cyclf sprang up, which surpassed all other groups of Christian holidays in tbe manifold richness of its festal usuages, and furthered, more than any other, the comple tion of tbe orderly and systematic distribu tion of church festivals over the whole year. Not casually or arbitrarily was tho festival of tbe Nativity celebrated on the 25th of December. Among the causes that co-operated in fixing this period as the pioper one, perhaps the most powerlul was, that almost all the heathen nations regarded the winter solstice as a most Important point of the year, as tho beginning of tbe renewed life and sjiylty ot tho powers of nature, and of tho gods, who were originally merely the symbolical personifications of. these. In more northerly countries, tUTs fact must bave made itself peculiarly palpable hence the Celts and Germans, from theoldest times, celebrated tbe season with tho greatest fes tivlties. At the winter-solstice, tbe Ger mans held their great Yule-feast, in com memoration of the return of the fiery sun wheel j aud believed that,during the twelve nights reaching from the 25th December to the 0th January, they could trace tho per sonal movements and Interferences on earth of their great deities, Odin, Berchta, ic. Many of the beliefs and usages of the old Gerrnans,jind also of tbe Romans, relating to this matter, passed over from heathenism to Christianity, and bave partly survived to the present day. 'But the church also sought to combat and buntsn ana It was to a large extent successful tbe deep-rooted heathen lealing, by adding for the purification ol the heathen customs and feasts which It re tained its grandly devised liturgy, besides dramatic representations of the birth of Christ and the first events of bis life. Hence sprang the so called "Manger-Songs." and a multitude of Christmas carols, as well as Christmas dramas, which, at certain times and places, degenerated into farces or r ools' Feasts. Ilenco also originated, at a later period, tbe Christ-trees, or Christmas-trees, adorned with lights and gifts, the custom of reciprocal presents, and. ol special unristraas meats uud dishes, such as Christmas rolls, cakes, currant-loaves, dumpling, ic. Thus, Christmas became a universal social festival for young and old, high and low, as no oth er Christian festival could have become. In the Roman Catholic Church, three masses are performed at Christmas one at midnight, one at daybreak, and one in the morning. The day is also celebrated by tho Angio-uaiuono unurcn special psalms are sung, a special preface is made in the Com munion Service and the Atbanasian Creed is said or sung. The Lutheran church on the continent, likewise observes Christmas: but the Presbyterian churches in Scotland, and tne wuole ol the English dissenters, re- eel it, in its religious aspect, as a "human nventinn." and as "savoring of papistical will worship," although In England, dissent er? as won as enurenmen Keep it as a social holiday, on which there is a complete ces sation from all business. But within the last hundred vears, tho festivities once ap propriate to Christinas have fallen olf. These at one' ttiife lasted with more or less bril liancy till Candlemas, and with great spirit till Twelfth-day ) but now a meeting In the' evening, composed, when possible, of the various branches and members or a family, is an mat distinguishes tne day above others, CAamicra' Vniverial Knowledge. Tho Coal Trade. We do not remember at any time in many months to bave seen tbe anthracite coal trade in a more jubilant condition than His now, tbe end of tho first week of the last ar rangemont entered into by all the leading coal companies to work but half time. There Is no change in tbe condition of tbe market no scarcity of coal, no advance in prices, very little, if any, reduction of stocks of coal on hand. The only noticeable change is a large demand tor coal from consumers, who are now free buyers at prices they could have bought at any time within the.last two or three montbs.butthe faint hope that there might be a. break among produce rsnd coal sell at lower priors latest in the season, re strained them. Tbe last action in tho trade, agreeing to limit production, has had more to do in giving tone to the market than would a reduction of twice the amouut that it will be lessened had it been effected thiough some natural cause or outside of a mutual understanding. Consumers of coal are now assured that there is harmony a moug producers and no likelihood ofa break in prices among them. The market is steady in the present and the outlook all that could be desired. The producers ofsoal bave now their business very much in their control, and, with the exercise of a llttlo wisdom, may hold it there. The first and most Im portant thing that should claim their atten tion is the fixing of prices ot coal within reasonable limits. Unduly high prices of coal now would tend very much to Injure the favorable prospect for the next year, which was never brighter. There will be a large pi eduction, and, at present prices, con sumers will be content and producers fully rewarded. A fortuight ago, and for tbe past two months, consumers were importuned to lay in their coal, but held aloof, taking very little, and only in driblets of comparatively small amounts) now, unsolicited, they come in troops, and are persistant in demanding amounts larger than the operators can con veniently furnish them. There is still a scarcity of vessels and navigation la con siderably obstructed with Ice. Tho three days' suspension ordered last week, to begin the 10th of December, will be a sufficient regulation of this difficulty, as well as all others likely te occur at this season. We do not hear of any complaint that any .one of tbe coal combination is furnishing more dur ing the three days' suspension than its fair proportion of anthracite production for the week, though it might seem otherwise with such companies as report their tonnagef anthracite and bituminous together, as is perfectly proper for them to do if they so Incline.there being no restriction on tbe lat ter. Many of the retail dealers in coal are short in their supplies, and consequently hold prices firmly up. The short supply of transportation is agarast those In need of a prompt supply of coal. Shipments of coal West are steadily increasing, promising ere long a large market there. The coal agree ment now Is, we learn, to work only half lime until the first ol February ,and between that time and tbe first of April tbe produc tion Is to be determ'ned by a vote represent ing two-thirds of the whole tonnage. It is thought that after that time the market will be so bare of coal and tbe demand so great that there will be nn necessity of further regulating enona. rrom tne present indi cation! such will be the case for a certain time. Of course It would be strange if sou curtailment should not prove necessary dur ing us umznar tnonua. imqtrt uonaay, arsingiKin la mmmmmmm misw ii ,' j r v j neport of our School, For tbe third month, ending first term, December 22, 1880 1 Primary No. 2 Miss Solomon.

Children shall come Into the samp schools that tbey have hitherto attended, unless ordered by the Principal to go into another room. -Six months is too short a term to allow me to make promotions when the term is half completed. The teachers cannot, during three months advance pupils sufficiently to make it good policy to pro mote a scholar into a higher grade. Let a child, as far as possible, understand one thing before you attempt to teach it another, A second reason for making no changes is the creation ofa new school during the ses sion just ended. Tbe school which has, up to this time, been known as "Primary Ad vanced," will now becalled "Secondary No. 2"i and the "Secondary" will be called "Secondary No. 1." This arrangement en ables us to let pupils In alt the lower schools study a little farther in their different branches than tbey could otherwise have studied. No pupils being promoted Into tbe higher schools, the teachers in those rooms can devote more time.to those saholars.now under their charge. We desire to have the chlldrencomeregu larly during tbe next three months, eyen to the last day. Examinations for promotion will be held at tbe close of tbe term, and only those who pass the examination will be promoted. Irregular pupils who are, In consequence of their irregularity, not able to go on witb'their respective classes will be demoted. E. D. Sciimibil, Principal, Special Service ill Evan.
