LOCAX AFFAIRS. THE HOLIDAY WEEK.— The Episcopal Sunday School held its anniversary on Christmas afternoon, and had quite a pleasant time. Rev. O. O. McClean and Rev. W. M. Frysinger delivered short addresses, and at the conclusion of the exercises the school was taken to the base ment, where a sumptuous collation of good things was provided. Woods Lodge of Good Templars held a festival at the Apprentices' Hall, com mencing on Christmas and eonti □ uing for three days and evenings. The principal subjects of attraction, aside from the Christmas Tree, dinners and suppers, were an elegant Gown to be presented to the minister having the largest number of votes —a beautiful Gavel and Block"" to the society having the largest number of votes _a splendid Doll disposed of by number, and some other articles. Rev. Mr. Downs was the recipient of the Gown —the Ap prentices Literary Society took the Ga vel, and Miss Bertie Shaw the Doll. The receipts were about SBOO. *This block was of beautiful marble, and was presented to the Lodge by Dist. Deputy Stratford. Lewistown Lodge, No. 203, A. Y. M., celebrated St. John's Day on Thursday evening at the National House, where a sumptuous supper was provided. The brethren of course were all in good hu mor, and as merry as a parcel of school ings with a long vacation before them. On Saturday evening Captain A. W. Norris lectured on the war and gave an interesting account of his eighteen months captivity, hard fare and bad treatment.— He did not appear to have as much admi ration for rebels as some folks we wot of. On Monday, a number of Soldiers' Or phan children from M'Allisterville School arrived in town and gave an exhibition to a crowded house. Numl>ers having been unable to get in, a second was given yesterday afternoon, and the third and last yesterday evening—the Town Hall on each occasion being filled. The con duet of the school children, their willing obedience to teachers and apparent kind ness to each other, their progress in edu cation and other useful matters, satisfied all that this institution is worthy of the munificent donation from the State and railroad company to those made orphans by an unjust and wicked rebellion. Many spoke well, but public opinion almost without exception seemed to point out Master Jacobs as the orator. The Drum Corps was also much admired, and (Japt. Fry and his cadets were universal favor ites. The proceeds of the exhibitions are to be devoted to the education of such orphans from this county as desire to re main at school after their legal term ex pires. ANNIVERSARY.— On Christmas evening th.- anniversary of the Lutherau Sabbath School of this place was held in the au dit tuv chamber of the church, the exer ci-es being interesting, and the house crowded. Each class presented an em blem, as follows: INFANT DEPARTMENT. Class No. 1, Young Disciples, taught by Amelia Swain; Emblem, a Green Arch with the word Love in it. N'o. 2.

The presentation of the emblem of this class was followed by the hymn commencing "When he cometh, to make up hrs jewels," six infant scholars, dressed in white, sing ing the verses, and the whole body of children joining in the chorus. This, in our opinion, was the most complete suc cess of the evening. BIBLE DEPARTMENT. (•lass No. 1, Willis class, Maggie Bly niyer, teacher; emblem, Glass of Wine. No. 2, Abraham Lincoln, Libbie Bly myer. teacher; emblem, Rose and Lily. No. 3, C. P. Krauth, EllieCarr, teacher; emblem, Hart standing-in a Stream. No. 4, rue Cross Bearers, G. R.

Hoffman iearher; eiublcm, an anchor. - o. 15, David Bloom, Kate Gwinn teacher; emblem, a white stone. ' Star of Hope, Mrs. Hoover teach er; emblem, a Shield. I lie presentation exercises were inter spersed with singing, by the school, from the new book, "Chapel Gems," nearly all the pieces being appropriate to the em blems. Good Night being sung and the benediction pronounced, the audience dis persed, all pleased with what they had *>eeu and heard. ACCIDENTAL HOMICIDE.— We learm i from the Altoona Tribune that on Wed nesday, 19th December, R boy named .Singer, aged about fourteen years, while ; carelessly firing a pistol, accidentally shot a girl named Stahl, daughter of Jno. Stahl, formerly of this place, injuring her so severely that she died the following night. It appears that the girl was in the ; act of drawing or pumping water, when | the pistol was fired, the hall from which struck her in the head, near the temple, rendering her insensible. She was car ried into the house and medical aid sum ' moued, hut her case was beyond the phy sician's skill. The boy, upon seeing what he had done, immediately left town, biTt returned after the Coroner's jury a verdict of accidental shooting. Both families, to which the boy and the girl belonged, live in a house on the corner of Claudia ami Clara streets, West Ward. THE WEATHER during the past few weeks has been extremely variable, the thermometer and barometer both show ing great changes within very short peri ods. The 19th and 2otl>. were windy with an evident tendency to cold weather, the barometer rising to 80 and the thermome ter falling to 8° on the evening of the 20th. On the morning of the 21st it stood at 8° below zero, and in someexposed situations as low as 15. This was equal to the cold est weather wo had last winter. During the day it moderated, and on Saturday morning the mercury stood at 22, on Sun day morning at 26, and on Monday morn ing (24th) at 40. The barometer indicated a change on Saturday by a gradual fall, which was followed by rain. During the last week the weather continued cold, with two days of terrible storm, drifting the sn >w in some places so as to render roads impassable. Since Saturday it modera ted i onsiuerably, and yesterday the ther mometer ,'urain stoo<F above the freezing point; this morning at 12. The ice afforded pretty good skating for several days, but has become rather rough from several snows falling. The Presbyterian Sabbath School of this place will hold its anniversary on Sabbath afternoon next. The exercises will be o" an interesting character, singing, speak ing, etc., and friends of the cause are in vited to attend. John Ensloe, of Granvillle township, killed a hog on the 20th December which weighed 616 lbs. clean meat. It measured two feet across the shoulders, five feet eight inches from ear to tail, and seven feet round the body. Rittenliouse fc McKinneyseat us a spe cimen of their Golden Syrup 011 New- Year's day—the finest article we have seen for a long time—and a sample of a new supply of Coffee, equal, we judge, to the famous lot they had some weeks ago. The Way Passenger train eastward has been transferred from evening to morn ing, now passing here at 10.00. This again gives the up-river folks an opportunity to visit Lewistown and return on the same day—an accommodation which the No vember schedule ignored. In other trains 110 change of moment was made. A considerable quantity of ice was put up last week from what is known as the Bun Fish Pond. The great quantity of suovv fullingiu the North, indicates spells, if not continued, cold weather this winter, and we suspect there will be no lack of ice during January and February. OYSTERS, &c. —Dalby's saloon, corner ! of Dorcas and Mill streets, allbrds u line 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. MARRIED On December 19th, 1860, by Rev.
