Singing.
ItuxiWAV, Dec. 17, 1SS1.
Prof. Geo. R. lnxosJJcar Sir:
I admire your judgment, and congrat
ulate the music-loving public in secur
ing that gifted songstress, Miss Belle
M'Clintock, to charm the listuers dur
ing the session of the teachers' insti
tute. Having heard her wonderful
voice and the rare power she exercises
both in church and conceit singing,
ami for several seasons witnessed the
sway she held over the multitude nt
the Chautauqua, assembly, I can bear
testimony to her excellence. To all
of us who have occupied a place on the
rostrum in the vast amphitheatre at
Chautauqua, suiving to win the
Chautauqua salute, can understand
what tiut implies. I cannot soon for
get the lust time I heard Miss M'
Clintock. It was at Chautauqua last
August. Her voice, pure, sweet, sym
pathetic, musical as a bird's, ascending
the higher notes with case, with per
fect control, and withal the sou in all
of her singing, is it any wonder that
her voice, vibrating over the breathless
mass, that as the last note died away
in hushed silence of admiration, the
"salute" the Chautauqua lillies"
ten thousand white handkerchiefs
fluttered, us a beautiful token of ap
preciation, and the complete mastery
with which she held thut immense
audience spellbound.
I hope none will miss the rare op
portunity of hearing Miss M'Clintock
sing. Siuccrely yours.
E. T. Scott.

For several days Immediately pre
ceding Christmas in the year of grace
1881, despite the muddy condition of
the streets, the moisture In the atmos
phere, and the generally "green Christ
inas'' aspect of the surroundings, the
streets of Hidgwny were filled with
people hurrying to andfro with Christ
mas presents. Dealers In goods of the
season were well patronized, and espe
cially on Friday and Saturday when
the stores were running to tlreir fullest
capacity with the aid of extra clerks.
Individuals, full of Christmas "conso
lation," wandered Bbout the streets,
enjoying themselves, while ever and
anon Constable Woodward would
"take in" some weary "pilgrim."
About as lively a Christ mas ns wo have
seen in many a year. There was a
slight fall 'of snow on Saturday. Sun
day, Christ maa ''lay, was bright and
beautifully clear Monday, the day
after, was rainy and disagreeable;
Tuesday, Wednesday and to-day even
mote so. Monday was celebrated as
the legal holiday, the banks and schools
all being closed on thalday. Saturday
night the several churches had Christ
inas trees, with exercises and sinking.

singing. An address was delivered by
the pastor, after which the tree was
lighted, and the presents, consisting of
candy, dolls, picture books, cups and

mental presents fur the children, were
distributed.

The church was handsomely fes
tooned with evergreens over windows,
doors and chancd rail. A roodscrciic,
tastefully dec. rated with evergreens,
was erected at the chancel front. The
usual exercises for the Christmas sea
son, were observed, un address wan de
livered by the Hector, alur which Ihc
tree was lighted up with hundreds of
tiny candles, until the church was
aldaze with glory, while occasionally
the burning hemlock, frightened the
timorous by its crackling as it came in
contact with the lights. The Cue
were always quickly extinguished
without doing any particular harm.
Many presents grew on the Grace
church tree, among the notable ones
being an elegant gold headed cane to
Dr. W. L. Williams and J. A. Mei
singer, and elegant presents to Miss
Kate and Jennie Givsh, of the choir,
from the hands of Dr. C. It. Eurley.
There were many presents for the
children, as well as for papa and mama
and all the rest of the folks.

At the chapel, a tree full of choice
fruit, singing by the choir, a warning
from Prof Dixon that there was no
danger if the hemlock caught lire, a
lighting of the candles, and distribu

this tree by the Muck. M. S. Kline
was the first lucky one, after
which came James Pcnlicld, Mrs. H.
H. Wensel, Miss A. E. McKee, Miss
May Olmstcad, Horace Little and Miss
Ithoda Wilcox. Frank Stewart, a lit
tle chap of a few yearn, marched up
like a major and took his present as his
name was called, and every one seemed
to have bn remembered. Oranges
were there for every child, and happi
ness beamed from the eyes of old and

to be remembered.
PRIVATE TREES.
Many families hud private trees in

And all together, wo are of the opin

"square thing" by the boys and girls
of Hidgwuy this time if he never does
again. The old way of hanging up tbo
stocking has gone out of fashion and
the Christmas tree has come into vogue
almost universally. No mutter wheth
er slocking or tree, the little ones, and
for that matter the older ones, will al
ways welcome the ad vent of the merry
Christmas season. May the memory
of the merry old Christmas tree never
grow dim.

A Crave Woman.
In one of the Mississippi towns, not
very far from Memphis, on the line of
the Mississippi and Tennessee railroad
a little lady, jiged sixteen years, shot
and severely wounded an impudent
white tramp who attempted to enter
the house after being ordered not to do
so. The lady, who is small, but game,
and a crack shot with a pistol, was the
only white person in the house when
the burly tramp approached. "We
have nothing for you; you needn't
come in !" she said to the tramp. "But
I will come in," he answered. "You
had better not, or you will get what
you don't want," quietly responded the
lady, ns she laid down her knitting,
picked a six-shooter from her woik
basket and approached the door. "Von
go back in your room, or I'll pitch you
out of the window," exclaimed the
ruffianly tramp, its lie walked inside
the door. Hang ! went the pistol, and
the tramp staggered buck on the porch,
shot through the arm and breast. She
raised the pistol again, but the trump
fled. A neighbor rushed around the
house and asked 'the little lady, who
was sitting down and engaged in knit
ting, witli her pistol in her basket,
"What's the matter?" She exclaimed,
"He's gone!" He then asked, "Did
you shoot him?" "Yes," she replied,
"and if he kept on coming, I would be
shooting until now." The trump was
bleeding profusely, and It was With
difficulty that the ijow of blood could
be stopped. He left the town a sadder
and wiser man, having been taught a
lesson in manners that he will not soon
forget. The game little woman Is

Jefferhonville, Ind., Dec 2.
Last night John M'Clellami went to
his house and in order to amuse his
wife and children fired oil' a lot of
shooting crackers. Not sutisfied with
this, he procured a pound of (siwder
and put il into three ale bottles and
fastened them up tightly. After he
had inserted a fuse into each bottle he
attempted to fire them ofl' in his yard.
He was unsuccessful in this attempt,
and taking the unities Into the house
set them upon a table at which his
wife and a little girl named Berry
were sitting. Mrs. M'Clelland wished
to lire of!' u cracker, and In order to
get a light removed the chimney from
a coal oil lamp which stood on the ta
ble. The cracker went oil' and caused
the lump to explode. The burning oil
was comuiunicutul to the powder in
the bottles, and all three went oil' with
terrible efi'eet, scattering glass all over
the room. The oil set lire to the house
and to the clothing of Mr. and Mrs.
M'Clelland and Miss Berry. Mr. M'
Clelland succeeded in extinguishing
the lire, not, however, until he had
been severely burned. His wife was
also dangerously burned about the
head and luce, her clothing being
burned from her body. Miss Berry
was probably fatally injured by glass
triking her in the side. She also re
ceived several other cuts and burns.

dental whipster or political suckling
should be permitted to shove aside
veterans like the gentlemen we have
named, who have earned their spurs,
and who would dignify any station to
which the choice of the people might
assign them.
The postollice at Sun bury, North
umberland county, was entered by
robbers last Monday night, and the
safe blown open. The concussion
broke every pane of glass in 'the
building. The robbers took about
$300 in money and stumps, and four
registered letters in fa1isit. The rob
bers were seen in the building at 1
o'clock in the morning. Several
pistol shots were tired through the
windows at them hut they made good
their escape by the back door. The
explosion took place while a heavy
freight train was passing near so as to
conceal the sound.
The War Heminiseeiiees in The
Philadelphia Weekly Press are
full of inCjiOst, not only to the young
men who have grown to man's estate
since the war, but to old soldiers, on
either side. To the latter, reading these
thrilling stories is like "shouldering
their crutch and fighting their battles
o'er."
