It frequently befalls me to spcud the Sabbath in your "village of churches," Ridgway, and it was my particular good fortune to be tbore on Saturday and Suuduy last. I have nothing very impor tant to communicate to you and the readers of your much respected "Advo cate," but I think that perhaps a few crude thoughts concerning what a itrangnr witnessed in Ridgway might be ot resdnble interest to a lew persons, though the etude thoughts be clothed in very . crudfl opparrel. The first thought suggested by the newly erected Chun lies is that Ridgway must be im proving in point of tnor The contrast is wonderful indeed if the present church status of Ridgway be compared with that of two year ago. The difference ia very marked aud I only mentiou it to .how you what a stranger observes. Last Saturday I wan pleased to hear much said about a beautiful "Christmiis tree" at the Methodiat Church on the previous evening, about the treat variety of fruit ic bote, and many flash ing eyed ''little folks" in the streets as they passed me, chattered and twittered most feelingly concerning an "Old Km Kringle" who presented the gifts. 1 heaid much too about a very lovely Christmas tree connected with the Sab bath school of Grace Church, and that it was laden with very valuable presents. Indend I regret very much that I did not come to Ridgwny on Friday that I could have seen both of the "trees" above mentioned; somewhat to my relief however I learned that the Lutherans would have Chriatuias services on Satur day evening iu their Church and that to these services all were invited. At an eaily hour t wended my way with the merry throng to attend the festivities On eutering the church I found that even standing room was above par end could hardly be obtained, in short, the room was crowded to its utmost capacity The church was very tastelully decora ted with festoons, wreaths aud crosses made of pine, Lurel, and hemlock blanches. Artificial b' quets of variga ted hue were placed here end there which added largely to the beauty of the baudiwotk. On tho cast of the pulpit was a can vis in a framewora iiimmcd with evergreeu upon this can vass was merrily inscribed "Meny Christmas" with iuks uf different colors while behind it were placed lighted tapers whose rays shot through the screen mukiog ".Merry Christmas" very attractive. Above the pulpit arch ou the wall was written in modest charac ters "Peace on earth and good will to men" while to the west of the pulpit stood the great object of gaze aud of in terest "a thing of beauty," the joy ol the evening it not "a joy forever-" The C'hristmat tree. Its long bran ches stretched out extensively on all sides and Its towcriug tops touched tie csiling above. It was briiliuntly lighted with wax candles whose rays rtere re flected from burnished tinsel, and much bchides that glisteued; But the most pleasing sight of all was the groups of merry children whose sniillin faces, earnest chatter, busy hands aod throb ding auxious hearts made this indeed a tlnillingly joyous occasion "1 Morry, M- rry Chittmas." The Lord's l'rayer was repeated by the pcliool in concert as the openiog exercise, which was fol lowed by siogiug" Gloria in Excelsis ' byhe choir. After this an agei rnao whom I learned was the pastor intro duced "Squire(Railey" as the Fpeakor of the occasion. The address delivered was short, racy, aod appropriate. The fruits of the tree were then plucked aud ihey proved to be of a highly beneficial character. J honor anyone ttho it bold enough in these days of show and vanity to put Oil rt Christmas tree gifts that will be of practical value, of Some pennant use and benefit. Evciy body who epoke in my bearing about those gilts, said '7toio wise their giuers were.'' I saw children receive hats, boots, dresses, scarfs, gloves, and to many ot them i was "a God send." The pastor received (and it caused much merrimut) a shirt aud by the way 1 hope it fits him well lor it is a bard task to be a christian and wear a badly fitting shirt, j can not help commending with all my heart the choice of yihs for that tree. The exercises passed off very creditably and all concerned ought to feel gratified, Theie was a time wbeo I did doc stop at Ridgway over Sunday but now I stop here whenever I can. JJeaunot close without congratulating the Ridgway people upon their village of churches. Ycura Respt ctfullj, "A STRANGER." See Sheriff's Sales in this issue.

Card of Thank?.

Thlkk is a movement on loot among some of the Democratic members of the house to conduct all sessions of the vari ous committesa openly aud graot admit tance to such persons as may have busi ness before I hem. Such a ni ive, it successfully endorsed and ordered by the house, would have a most salutary effect. It is a notorious fait that, all the stupendous land grants and jobs generally which are rushed through con gress, aie first manipulated in commit tees. There are very few members ot congress who are industrious enough to specially look "p and keep theruseives posted on all features of legislation. Heretofore the custom has been to usu ally take the report ot a committee as an endorsement of the measure it might present to the house. Hence lobbyists aod agents make their first point ot at tack with the committee, knowing that it they secure a majority of the mem bers composing the onu with which tbey are operating, it will be assumed in the houBe as a quasi endorsement of their interests.
