CHRISTMAS IN THE, COUNTRY.
OUK UUDOET OF RURAL. NEWS.
Special Observances or Christendom's Holi
day. Christmas was celebrated at Quarry
ville by the inhabitants in a very suitable
manner. In the evening a special Christ
mas service by the congregation and Sunday-school
was held in the Reformed
church. The room was decorated with
evergreens, etc., and prominent among
them were two very pretty wreaths of
white llewcrs made by Jehn Sitter. In
one corner steed a Christmas tree about 20
feet high. It was covered withnice things
including 127 stockings full of candy.
The services consisted of the leading of
sjiipture lessens, repeating of the Creed,
hinging and an address by Rev. D. B.
Shuey, the pastor. After the services were
concluded L. T. Ilcnsel stepped forward,,
and in a few well chosen remarks, pre
sented G. J. P. Raub, the leader of the
choir, with an elegant baton, which is
made of ebony and tipped en the ends
with geld, the head bearing the inscrip
tien, "U. J. 1. Kaitb, Irem his friends,
Christmas, 1881." "Jliss Eliza A. Kendig,
a prominent teacher in the Sunday-school,
was presented with a year's subscription
te the Messenger, the paper of the church,
and G. "W. Ilcnsel made the presentation
speech. Mr. Shuey replied for both Miss
Kendig and Mr. Raub, who were com
pletely surprised. The church was
ci ewded and the services were very inter
esting ; a social collection was" taken up
and a large sum realized for the orphans
at Womelsdorf.

On the Side of tlie fllliie llidge.
The protracted meeting held by the 31.

as but few were converted.

one of their concerts in the 31. E. church

the church.
On 3Ienday evening last a dance was
held in the hall by a company of young
folks from the Nickel Mines. Everything
passed off quietly, much te the credit of
the participants.
The Pennsylvania railroad company
made a geed move when they gave orders
te their agent at this place, 3Ir. Gee. W.
Oreuderf, te prohibit all leafing and
lounging in and around the station. Mr.
Oreuderf is carrying the company's rules
out te the letter, and has hung a large
giceu placard prohibiting leafing in front
of the station, which is very obnoxious te
the eyes of the old loafers, who used te
continually lounge around the passenger
room.
Christmas passed off quietly as usual.
In the latter part of last week there was a
gcncial iullux of students from the differ
ent normal schools here, who were coming

HART ITEMS.
In niwl Around Geerge town.
The most noted incident of this section
forsemo time past, was the marriage of R.
S. 3IcClure te Miss Lillie 3Iartin, both of
this township, en Thursday the 22d inst.
3Ir. 3IcClure is the only son of Jeseph
3IcClurc, president of the First national
bank of Strasburg, 3!iss 3Iartiu is the
eldest daughter of Dr. Jehn Martin. The
ceremony was performed by the Revs.
Cairns and Andersen, the ferire.' pastor of
the 3Iiddle Octoraro Presbytcriau and the
latter of the Octoraro U. P. congregation.
About 80 invitations were issued by Dr.
Martin and responded te by nearly all.
The presents weie a liberal display of
.silver ware, linens and ether articles of use
and beauty. In spite of the gloomy and
disagreeable day all present wcie in fine
spit its and enjoyed themselves, as is be
coming en such occasions. The table
was an array of sweetmeats, tropical nuts
and fruits, and the indispensable reait
turkey. The bride and groom in their
attire Bnovred their goad tastes by
both being plainly but richly attired,
the bride being arrayed in. a rich
plum colored silk and parlor trail, and but
little ornament. The bridal party imme
diately after partaking of refreshments
started for the railroad, where the bride
and bridegroom took the train for Wash
ingten, D. C. The party consisted of 3Ir.
Thes. 3IcClure and 3Iiss Lizzie- Martin,

3Iaggie Hughes, both of Bart. Old beets
and shoes were thrown after them with
out stint and heartfelt wishes for their safe
return and long and happy wedded bliss.
Christmas.
Our village is never a very lively one en
Christmas, but this Christmas Day was
net celebrated in any of the four churches,
except the Episcopal church at Gap
Nickel 3Iines, and, consequently, it passed
off without any evidence of the fact that
the 23th of December was mere than any
ether day.

Tobacco.
Ne particular life is apparent in the to
bacco trade in this vicinity as yet. The
raisers are busily at work stripping out
their crops, and they find it considerably
mere troublesome te get properly asserted
en account of the damage done by hail.
The tobacco is of an excellent quality but

same acreage heretofore. 3Iartin & Fritz

"AT UELLElfS."
Christmas Evening in Salem Reformed
Church.
Salem (Heller's) church, in Upper Lea
cock township, was filled te the extent of
its seating capacity en Christmas evening,
te witness the anniversary exercises of the
Sunday school in connection with the
church. That part of the church about
the pulpit was beautifully decorated with
evergreen festoons, a white cress en the
altar, en each side of the pulpit were calla
lilies with buds, while in a panel back of
it was a monogram of the letters " I. II.
S." in gilt. In an arch ever the pulpit
was the inscription, " Jey te the World !
The Lord is Come," making altogether a
pleasing effect. The exercises were opened
by "Jey te the World, &c," by the choir,
Misses Sallie Kcnnard and Emma Stelfy
singing the duet. After further singing
by the school of the "Christinas Carel,"
'Christmas Hosanna," and Scripture read
ing, Rev. D. W. Gerhard, pastor, made
some remarks at length very appropriate
te the occasion, which were followed by
"Awake, Arise, &c," by the school.
The report then read by the superin
tendent showed the school te be in a flour
ishing condition. "Jesus Cemes" was
next sung by the school, followed by an
address by Mr. Massataka Yamauaka,
a Japanese student of Franklin and Mar
shall college. 3Ir. Yemanaka,after giving
the geographical position and extent of
his native country, described very nicely
the advantages, government, costumes
and religion of the land he loves se well,
and hopes that his countrymen may seen
all embrace the Christian religion ; en
a whole he proved himself te be an
earnest and well informed young
man. His remarks were listened te with
marked attention and interest. " 3Iis 3Iis
sienary Hymn" was then sung, after
which a collection amounting te about $17
was taken up in behalf the orphans' home
at Womelsdorf, Pa. During the lifting of
the collection the congregation sang very
heartily, ' ' All Hail the Power of Jesus'
NamC." Among the pleasant features of
the evening was the presentation of a
purse centaing a geed sum of money te
the organist, Miss Lizzie Weidler. The
Superintendent, R. 31. Busheug, was also
made the recipient of a handsome photo
graph album by the school. The exercises
were closed by the doxology, "Praise
Ged, etc.," and benediction by the pastor.
UKUMOItK DOINGS.
Our Down Country Correspondence,
3Ir. Jeseph 3Iewery, of Philadelphia,
recently married 3Iiss Grace 3Iorrisen,
formerly of this township, and were given a
most pleasant dinner at the residence of
the bride's father, 31 r. Thes 31. 3Iorrisen,
near Fulton Heuse.
Others who entered the rapidly filling
maniauc list last week, were Erastus
Richie and 3Iannie Ewiug ; Wm. Hart
and Emma Trimble, and Edward Greist
and 3Iary Hammend. The boys and gals
arc clean gene mad.
At the entertainment by Chestnut Level
church, given the children Christinas eve,
the pastor, Rev. Jehn Galbrcath, was pre
sented a very handsome geld watch by
his congregation. It was a very suitable
remembrance, and will no doubt always
possess a value for the pastor far exceed
ing its intrinsic worth.
Themas Hawk, who for seven years has
been in the " west ceuntrie " came home
last Monday. Again the Temmy Hawk
