ANNIVERSARIES, &C. —On Christmas
eveniug, the Lutheran Sabbath Schools
of this place will hold an anniversary—
the exercises to consist of the presentation
of emblems by each class, with mottos
a ni verses, and the amount of money
collected by each class during the past
year.
The Episcopal S. 8. we understand will
hold a festival on Christmas day.
The Presbyterian 8. S. hold their anni
versary on Sabbath, 30th inst. All of these
occasions will be interesting, and no doubt
largely attended.
StsT'The Clearfield Journal notices the
proceedings of the court in that county,
with Judge Woods presiding, as follows:
"A special court has been in session in
our borough this week. The causes that
are being tried are such as Judge Linn
was interrested in before his elevation to
the Bench. His Honor, Judge Woods,
of Lewistown, who is presiding, has
made an excellent impression both as an
officer and as a man, and he will doubt
lers carry away with him the kindest
wishes of all with whom he has come in
direct intercourse."
OYSTERS, &C. —Dal by's saloon, corner
of Dorcas and Mill streets, affords a tine
retreat for those who indulge in delicious
bivalves. If you want oysters by the
plate, pint, quart, or any larger quantity,
he can supply you with the largest and
freshest of them. If you wish to eat a
good meal, go to his rooms, he will set
before you what cannot fail to satisfy.
Test the matter, before going elsewhere.
CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEAR'S PRES
ENTS. —Ladies and gentlemen will find a
splendid assortment of Fancy Articles,
Jewelry, &c., suitable for Hofiday Pres
ents. at H. W. Junkin's establishment,
corner of Brown and East Market street.
Many new and rare things can be seen in
his cases and on his shelves, which can
be had at a considerable reduction from
last year's prices. Before determining
what present to make, call and see his
stock.
t HRISTMAS. —Next Tuesday the long
wished for holiday will be here. It will
be, as usual, says the York True Demo
crat, a time of great rejoicing among the
young folks, and the old and the middle
aged will join in the festival in commem
oration of the happier days gone by. To
us it has always been a welcome season.
We hail its coming with as much pleas
ure and satisfaction as we did a quarter of
a century ago; for although the friends
who at that time surrounded us are gone,
and many sad changes have passed over
u- since then, we are not insensible of the
fact that others are made happy by its
festivities, and that alone is a compensa
tion for all we have lost. Welcome, thrice
welcome, merry, happy Christmas; the
season of love and gaiety, the occasion for
the renewal of old ties and friendships,
ani above all the anniversary, the glori
ous anniversary of the day which gave
to the world a Saviour and Redeemer, and
thus bespoke peace upon earth and good
wiil to all men.
The celebration of Christmas is of very
ancient origin. It was inaugurated by
th early Christians immediately after the
unniencement of the Christian era. It
then held exclusively as a religious
festival in commemoration of the nativi
ty of the Saviour. It derives its name
from the appellative Christ having been
added to the name of Jesus, to express
that he was the Messiah or The Anointed.
In tiie eastern primitive church, Christ
um and Epiphany were deemed but one
and the same feast, and consequently all
the intermediate time between the twen
ty-fourth of Deceml>er and the seventh of j
January was duly observed. A solemn j
feast and divine service was ordered to be 1
performed on the twenty-tifth of Decern- !
ber. by Rope Telephorus, about the l>e- j
ginning of the second century, but in the j
early part of the fourth century, under
the reign of the Emperor Diocletian, of
Home, that bloody, persecuting official of
fered terrible opposition to the enjoyment
of tiiat privilege, and on one occasion,
while keeping his court at Nocomedia. he
was informed that the Christians had as
sembled in large numbers on that day to
celebrate the nativity of Christ, and be
came so much incensed that he ordered
the doors of the church to be closed and
the building tired, which mandate was
July obeyed, aud six hundred men, wo
and children perished in the burn
utr building. We have no brutes of that
baraei. r to deal with in modern times,
und our of Christ mas, whether
• '••y be religious or otherwise, are subject
° ti'i interruption by official decrees. We

j! u?pirations of the immortal soul. We
canim, only freely engage in religious ex
°n that day, but can also indulge
iaaoeent festivities and amusements,
h are always commeudable aud
praiseworthy.
liie above we would add, REMEMBER
Almost every one has the
. of gtving something to a poor
and it will not detract from a
",v -f a table covered with luxuries to
v t!iat °there who have but little of
t-* world's goods are also enabled to set

Westley Everich, formerly of this

liller, wholesale grocers, Zanesville, 0.,
was arraigned before the grand jury of the
latter piaee a few weeks ago, charged bv
| the copperheads with huying the votes of
two of his employees. The cops claimed
that Mr. Everich gave each of the men a
sack of flour to vote the Republican tick
et; but the indictment was quashed by
the evidence of the two employees, who
swore that Mr. E. gave them the flour
upon the conditions that they were not to
go to the poles until evening, when he
could have time to accompany them, to
see that they were not influenced on either
side.

In the Jirookville Republican of Dec.
sth, we find the following item of news: I
"We learn that the bones ofa man were
recently found near Luthershurg branch
of the Sandy Lick Creek, Clearfield eo.,
supposed by some to be those of a man j
named Himes, who suddenly disappeared
in that neighborhood some six or seven i
years ago. It is the opinion of many that
Himes w& foully dealt with, on account
of his money, or bv reason of serious dif
ficulties between him and some of his
neighbors. His friends are supposed to
live in the vicinity of Williamsport, Pa."
And the Bellefonte Press, of Dec. 7th,
1 ' ;
contains the following:
"The people of Osceola were considera
bly startled on Saturday last by the find
ing of a human skeleton, about two miles
from that place. From appearances it is !
supposed the body had been there for a
period of live or six years. The bone of
one leg still remained in the boot, which
had been gnawed by wild animals as the
marks of their teeth were plainly visible
in the leather. There has been various
surmises as to the identity of the body,
none of them however prove satisfactory.
This is the second or third human skele
ton which has been found in that locality
with the past three years."
The Legislature of South Carolina,
which was the first to lead off'in the game
of Rebellion, is the first to play in the new
game by which it is hoped to evade the
penalties of treason, by proposing a Na
tional Convention. Congress and the
people can settle all difficulties without
the aid of rebel advisers.
The body of a German watchma
ker named John Morall, who has been

The present Congress is said to
have less intemperate men than any for
many preceding years, and the next will
be still better. This state of thintrs is ac
counted for by the fact that more than
two-thirds of each house are republicans.
S-ay Seven thousand dollars in gold and
silver were recently found by an old hun

Ihe L nited States steamer New

ter to the Hon. Wilmer Worthington, of
Pennsylvania, in which he asks a with
drawal of his name, should it be present

I nited States Senator. With no disposi
tion to underrate others, he is free to say
he thinks the election of the Hon. Thaii

an would promote lasting harmony in
their political household, and would un
questionably secure to the State and the
nation a champion of those great princi

They have deemed expedient to offer them to their

each, the price heretofore having been two dollars

up of Clubs they have determined to award premt
umns to the getters up of the clubs, and in addition
thereto to distribute amongst the subscribers the sum
of SSO. -00 in money and painting--, as soon as the sale
shall have .reached 100.000 engisvir.g--. As it is our
intention to advertise very eutensiveiy, and as the

' chiUgo 4* (bent, and with the exertion which will be
put forth by our numerous friends, the number will
be reached in a -hort time. As soon as it is reached,
the snbscrilK rs. through their club ag<-Dt. will be no

The Anieriean Artist*' Union would add that these

i tree gift to their patrons, as the Engravings are fur

of engravings, after the plates are procured, i* very
trifling, they can easily afford to make the distribution
large as it is.
We trust that our uumerous Tnend® throughouttha

so that if possible, the distribution may be made soon,
and it can be done if ihey are at all active. Ladiea

solicit their kind efforts, which will not go unreward
ed . Let one or more energetic person* in every town
and village tu the country commence as soon as they
see this, and get upas large a club as possible. By so
doing they will he tha meaaa of introducing elegant
engravings into familes. and thus aid ir. cultivating a
taste for the beautiful and refined.
