Christmas Festivals in onr Churches.
THC I.VTIICItAN L'UUKCH
was "filled lo overflowing" on Christ
mas eve, 1885; the occasion being the
celebration of tho birth of onr Saviour.
The church room, In tho vicinity of the
pulpit, was tastefully decorated. The
exercises Included the singing of Christ
mas anthenn, responsive reading and
remarks by the pastor and A. M. Mchr
kam. Al the close of tho evening's ex
ercises the llttlo one's hearts were made
happyby the usual distribution of candles
and oranges.
AT THE ltErOIlSIED CllUIICIt
tho same evening, the large Sunday
school room was very handsomely deco
rated with evergreen, and the usual or
der of exercises the sincing of Christ
mas carols, address by the pastor, Ac,
proceeded with. The large room was
completely crowded with a delighted
audience. The exercises of the evening
concluded w ith the distribution of a
choice box of candy to each member of
the school.
THE MCTnODIST CIIL'ItCII
was artistically decorated with evergreen
and flags which mule a very pleasing
appearance; both the school room and
the large audience room were filled with
members of the school and people from
Welssport and packerton. A very In
teresting programme, suitable for the
occasion had been arranged and
was delightfully carried out. Here.also,
the exercises terminated with the dis
tribution of "good things."
AT TUE EVANOELICAI, CUUItCH
on Christmas night was witnessed one
of tho most successful Christmas festi
vals ever held In this place. Long be
fore tho time for tho doors to bo opened
large crowds had gathered on the out
side of the building, and when the doors
were opened it seemed to be tho signal
for a general rush, and at a quarter of
seven It was Impossible to even secure
standing room in the church. The ex
ercises opened with tho singing of an
appropriate anthem by the choir and
this was followed by the rendition of a
very Interesting programme consisting
of bible reading, music by the choir and
several very appropriate tableaux, the
pastor made a few remarks relative to
the occasion, and hero as In the ststet
churches, the members of the school
were liberally treated to candy, cakes
and oranges. The several members of
the school who had the management of
the exercises in band deserve to be com
plimented on the successful termination
of the evening's exercises.
Tho Iron Trade.
The trade in pig Iron'contlnucs brisk.
A further advance of prices is however
being discouraged In order to prevent

scarce. Indications in regard to con

hurt In the Jpancsvlllo mines several
weeks ago and tho following day was
taken to Pcnn's Hospital Philadelphia
for treatment, having sustained a frac
ture of the leg. After his arrival at the
hospital tho treatment atlorJciWilui was
of such a character tli.it ho improved
rapidly until Monday of last week when,
much to the surprise and astonishment
of the attending physicians, he wassud
denly seized with an attack of pneu
monia of tho most virulent type, and
notwithstanding that the best medical
skill In the Institution had been called
to his assistancc.he sank gradually until
his sufferings ended In death last Satur
day morning. The sad news was tele
graphed to his mother at Beaver
Meadow, and the remains were brought
to this borough on the evening train
and conveyed to his late home, followed
by a number of sorrowing friends and
relatives. Deceased was the son of the
late Michael Brady of Jeaucsvlllo at
which place ho was born about twenty-
eight-years ago and where he continued
to reside until last spring when ho re
moved to Beaver Meadow with h.'s

A Festival and a Fight-
A party of drunken Italians on Satur
day afternoon made an attempt to cufcr
tho M. E. church In tho suburbs of
Pottsvlllc, where a festival was In pro
gress. An effort was made to keep
tlwm out, but the foreigners, led by a
little padrone named Joe Banyan, en
deavored to carry the place by storm.
The negroes, many of them Southern
laborers armed with knives and pistols,
resisted the attack. One shot was firc.l
from the church. This brought a fusil
lade from the Italians and In a minute
there was a bloody riot. Thirty or forty
shots were fired promiscuously. George
Schccnwalt and his wife, who live In
the neighborhood, ran to their doors
but both were struck by pistol balls and
slightly wouuded. A girl named Klcsh
uian was wounded In the thigh and two
or three pistol balls went through the
windows of dwelling houses and nar
rowly missed the occupants.
The whole police force was attending
performance at the Academy and
were summoned by telephone. When
they approached the scene negroes and
Italians scattered In all directions.
Four negroes and Banyan were captured
and sent to jail the same night. One
Italian is known to havo been badly
cut with a knlfo and several to have
been seriously wounded by stones.

just lost Its oddest character In "the death
Of Dave Ordway, an old miller, whose
peculiarities were not altogether cheer
ful. Years ago bo had a costly coffln
made for himself. When It was ready
he paid a clergyman $100 to preach a
funeral sermon, and, laid out In this
cofllri, was borne amid doleful dirges
down the' aisle of the church to the foot
of the pulpit, where he lay listening to
his own mock obsequies. This over,
the coffin was placed In his parlor, and
remained there till the time for Its real
use came. One of his millstones now
forms tho base of a quaint monument,
bearing the following Inscription a lit
tle thing of bis own: "Tho I am dead
yet speakoth, for - here Is rest upon this
millstone top I set this noble block to let
the world no what I have done."
The manufacture of base balls In
this country has become au Important
Industry, and an Ingenious one, too,
according to the description given of
tho process : First, there Is a little hard
rubber ball; around which there Is
wound a strong blue coarse yarn, and,
when this reaches a prescribed size, It Is
firmly wrapped with white Venetian
yarn. The balls are now placed In an
oven and baked uutll the moisture Is
taken out of them and they are reduced
in size, this making them solid. They
are then coated with cement, which
causes the balls to retain their shape,
and they caunot be knocked crooked.
After this comes some fine blue yarn,
and around the whole is placed fine
wuito gluing twine, The balls are
weighed, each to have a certain weight.
and the covers are put on, these being
made of the best horse hide. It consists
of two pieces, each cut In the shape of
the figure 8. By bending one section
one way and the other In nn opposite
direction, a complete cover Is obtained.
This Is a simple and effectual substitute
for the former method of covorlng, with
four pieces of leather.

took four bottles and am perfectly well.
I cheerfully recommend IJood'a Sarsaparllla
as one of tho best blood purifiers in the
world." W. F. Wood, Bloommgton, I1L
