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:

was followed by the hymn commencing
"When he cometh, to make up hrs jewels,"

our opinion, was the most complete suc
cess of the evening.

I lie presentation exercises were inter

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.

The American Artists' Union would add that these
premiums are to be considered only in the light of a
free gift to their patrons, as the Engravings are fur
nished them bcU/w their market value, and ns the cost
of engravings, after the plates are procured, is very
trifling, thev can easily afford to make the distribution
large as it is.
Wo tiust that our numerous inend- through'" ut the
country and Canatias will use their utmost exertions
so that if possible, the distribution may be made soon,
and it can be done if '.hey are ut a<l active. Ladies
have often made excellent club agents for u.-. and we
solicit their kind efforts, which will not go unreward
ed. Let one or more energetic persons in every town
and village in the country commence as soon as they
see this, and get upas large a club as possible. By so
doing they will be the means of introducing elegant
engravings into familes. and thus aid in cultivating a
taste lor the beautiful and retined.
