APPALING ScEays.—Barautu's great
circus and Menagerie was destroyed by
fire in New York city on the Morning of
the 24th ult,, with several other buildings,
including Grace Cbapcl or Church of the
Redemption.
Some of the firemen, who were first or,
the ground, state that the roars of the an
imals was something frightful to Lsten to,
during the short time that it lasted, as
they :were speedily p't out of misery by
the rapidity with which thedevouriug el

pains to secure, were two elephants and a

Nothing could be done to save any more

BE CAREFUL.-1 - teaders of newspapers
will observe that an unusual number of

by the School assisted by members of the
choir.

Canurrma,s A.ifirxrvEnseur.—The

was.one of unusual interest, and reflects
much credit on the school.
The church was
, bandsoznely decorated
the walls being fe stooned with evergreen
and embelished with appropriate emblems.
The stage was peculiarly attractive, there
being four massive pillars surmounted
with four gilt stars and spanned by two
arches 'of evergreen, in. ,the rear was a
large cross and at both extremities Christ
mas trees well laden with good things for
the children. Suspended from the main
arch was an angel, holding in its hand a
scroll with this inscription ; "This day in
the City of David is born b Savior which
is Christ the Lord," making in all a grand
display.
The programme was complete and a great
deal of credit is due Prof. Bentz and his
corps of assistants, for its variety and ra•

After prayer, by the Rev Mr. Reedy,
Master Clarence Eyler delivered the pur
logue, in quite a commendable manner,
followed by the infant school in reciting
the commandments, after which Miss Sal

with distinctness and ease. The dialogues
were very appropriate and interesting and
made impressions upon the young that
may eventually point them to "the Lamli
of God that taketh away the sins of the
world." The dawn of the Christian dis
pensation, represented by ten agod men
and Miss Mary Kurtz was of elegant de
sign and full of meaning. Mr. D. M.

of the school, distinguished himself, in the
delivery of a Christmas carroll. This

CHURCIISOCIABLE.—Ou Monday even
lug last the first "church sociable" iin our
town, was held in the M. E. Church. The
assembly was not overly large but a very
sociably one, the parties mingling freely
and all apparently enjoying the! nuelves
in social converse as the evening hours
passed by. About 7 o'clock, after some
choice music by members of tile choir,
lead by Mr. Wm. G. Smith, tY a pastor,
Rev, Mr. Donahue, announced - that sup
per was in readiness, and about:sbrty per
sons were seated around the tab les laden
with the choicest eatables. Oys.crs were
first served, after whiCh fowl and ham,
with the usual accompaniments, tea and
coffee included, were partaken of, the
whole constituting a first class slipper.—
The ladies seemed to have vied It ith each
other in the handsome decoration and
general arrangement of the tables. All
seemed to feel at home and enjc,yed the
refreshments with a more than ordinary
relish, one hundred and fifty,pemons par
taking of them. Supper over, ice cream.
cakes, candies, etc. were in oiler, and
freely indulged in by those of the audi
ence who enjoy such dainties. The good
style in which the entertainment was got
ten up and the pie:asant and orderly man
ner in which it ended, was alike credita
ble to the ladies arid others concerned.—
Social gatherings like this are certainly
calculated to exert, religiously and mor
ally, the most happy influences.
Tar. Poor.—We appeal for the poor—
the deservingly needy—the old and infirm,
who are unable to help themselves. The
weather is• terrible—tile cold tells with a
fierce effect• on the robust and healthy,
and the fall of snow makes it still worse.
Think what must be the influence on the
poor and the sick, who are wretchedly
housed,and inadequately clothed. A help
ing hand generously exteniecl to the indi
vidual poor is more in the spirit of true
Christianity than pompous subscriptions
to stately charities, whose immense ma
chinery and long lists of dignitaries rep
resenting them as officers, shut the poor
whom they propose to aid out of sight.—
Let each man and woman hunt a case for
succor and thin relieve it. .There is no
deed which so charms the human heart
as confidential charity. Try it, reader.
WrsTrat THOUGHTS.- Winter awakens
more and profounder emotions, we think,
than any other season. ,What can be more
itnpressive than a wide landscape covered
with snow on a winter morning? Far as
the eyo can reach everything is clothed in
white. The snow lies untrodden for miles;
or is only trodden by the light foot of the
hare. The crystalline clearness of the air,
which we can compare to nothing but the
light of a diamond ; the serenity, the inef,
fable peace which broods like a spirit o
,ver all—we have no words with which to
,express the loveliness.

The Backwoods Grumbler.
BACKWOODS, =MINTER.
December .27, 1872.
FRIEND Bx.ent;--.4. ray of light from
the Temperanceville Correspondent has
reached this benighted and lonely back
woods through the Record. Thank heav
en the Record still comes to this "wood,y
land" where things are still "new and
"novel." Foreign correspondent is recog
nized as being'ezeeedinply new and novel
to backwoodsmen, and
"We'll treasure it long as a sainted prize,
We'll bedew it with tears and• embalm it
with sighs."
But oh, those untutored bacif t woodmen,
how they grumble, because they have nev
er left the "scene of their childhood in
far distant lands to dwell," like Temper
anceville correspondent, but are cut off
from the •"busy bustle of life," and from
all those social and refining iraluences,
which .are here and there to be found in
this land of Penn. •
If these "never-see-nothings" could on
ly get out of this pathless backwoods, they
might see twenty-five or thirty new bells
every Saturday, by ?running from square
to square," with names on, if nothing
xnore. But what is the use of all this
trouble.and expense, for "their is noth
ing new under the sun," names of Presi
c'ent, &c., cast on a new bell "in letters of
Lying fire" is mthing new and novel to
drrespondent at thirty extra. What say
r 44, laboring tax-payers, of Waynesboro?
licrouldn't you sooner be with Grumbler
in the backwoods, where school-tax is al
m.)st unknown, than to be where the col
led tor Sfi •8, most ever time lie meets ou
on the streir - ee- ere,- - nen, , woe
lil:e to have your school-tax to-day."-
1! -lend replies, ."How much is my tax?"
"Well;" the collector goodnatnredly says,
"it is a Tittle more this year than it was
last, because we have a new school house
and a new bell with the Waynesboro'
Board .on it." His excellency, the corres
pondent of Temperanceville, who has had
the good fortune to get far from "every
loved spot which his infan4' knew,"
shouldn't forget that it is said, "there is a
time to every purpose," and from this,
bac'iwoodsman infers, that there is a time
to criticise names and titles nn_bells
grutla idug way. Foreign correspondent,
who appears to be 'in a fit of blues," be
cause he made the purchase of the bell,
perhaps doeß'nt know that SOME of the
Board have been down right backwoods
men lo for many years, but have come
out of Sabillasville's "deep tangled. wild
woods
"Where the sound of the school going bell
Those valleys and rocks never heard,
Never sighed at the sound of a knell,
Or smiled when the school day appeared."
"All things have changed," says lislow
and Then," writing for the Village Record,

not be rubbed off until the names of the
Directors were cast into the fiery furnace
of Messrs: Fulton, like the "three Hebrew
children," and. then came out on the new
hell with all the little backwoods asperi
ties completely smoothed off. Can't tell
whether the furnace was heated seven
times hotter or not, for the simple reason
that I have always been in the backwoods.
The people can now congratulate them
selves that the "tintinabulations" of their
Directors' sweet toned bell that so "music
ally and voluminously wells" will keep
those who are set "in authority," says cor
respondent-4. save backwoodsmen from
such authority)—in a cheerful mood when
ever
"The curfew tolls the knell of parting day."
The Board hasn't been far enough from
their "native clime" to purchase a bell,
so in steps clever correspondent and is put
on the bell committee, because "he cities
saw," and thirty bells every Saturday with
names on too.
Grumbler congratulates correspondent
for his success in buying a bell—thou bast
done nobly. The Directors will make
thee chairman of the building committee
—enter into the honors of the Board, for
there are still a few extras reserved for the
purpose of haying those three initials, G.
B. J., cast on the bell, and opposite may
be put; Chairman of the Building Com
mittee. I sha uldn't wonder if clever cor
respondent hasn't seen in his traveling vi
sions the "hand writing upon the wall"
"in lettere of living fire," "no size man
ned bell" paid for by the public, as is his
beau ideal of a bell. Correspondent "has
no doubt that for a very small sum, even
less perhaps than the new school house
has cost, 'Grumble' Might still be placed
on the hell." Pray, honest friend, lead a
grumbling backwoodsman not into temp
tation, but deliver him from the building
committee, for all is "vanity and vexation
of spirit."
Oa the 6th inst., foreign correspondence
swept 'around Waynesboro` by a circui
tous route, stopping a few days in the of
fice of our friendly Editor, after which
time it again united with its own home
current—the School Board- -from thence
it swept across these backwoods, prostra
ting some of the tender under-growth .by
throwing one Temperanceville thunder
bolt, inthe form of a "Grumbler," and, an
other in the form of "Grumble," but these
old gigantic pines and sturdy oaks of
these backwoods are chartered by nature
to withstand the Tern peranceyille storms.
Be patient. Corresiiondent, for the old ad
age is. "There is always a calm after a
storm." The next thing was to determine
the meaning of these arbitrary characters,
G. B. J. While sitting around a cheer
ful log fire, in a little backwoods cabin,
those initials were interpreted in a homely
style to mean God Bless Justice; but an
old backwoodsman, whose ancient race of
life is well nigh run, said nay, the mean
ing must be God Bless Just Grumbler, for
says he "things are not what they seem."
Should foreign or home correspondent de
sire any information as to the customs
and habits of those who live far in the
backwoods, he can obtain said informa
tion by calling on some of the Board, who
can speak from personal experience, be
cause the backwoodland "airs" are few
and simple, and are not soon forgotten
when once acquired. Foreign correspon

for persons "in authority': todo so. .Great
,comfort and consolation to Az Board." Af
ter the school house was finished the Direc
tors dedicated it to educational purposes.,
and soon after swung the bell to the tower,
and viewed the "promlsedlamd" of ancient
sciences from afar, but were told by the
people not to cross over until the school
debt is paid ; but they said, how can we
sing a "new song" in this ignorant Oland
of common schools, so they turned back
into this ignorant .laud, there to remain
until the public school debt is paid. But
the bell with - the hieroglyphics of the
Board cast thereon, WAS left behind as
"footprints on the sands of time," for a
continual memorial for their thildr&ils
children, to see who may now perhaps

,A. BACKWOODS GRUB:I,OI4ER. '
MR. Exorron.—Among the various rail
road projects offered to the favorable con
sideration of our community none has
been urged with more pertinacity than the
extension of the Mont Alto branch of the
Curub. Valley Railroad. From the zeal
of its advocates we might reasonably in
fer it possessed peculiar advantages.' Al
though well convinced that this baby of
the C. V. R. R. would be less likely. to
advance the material interests of this hical
ity than many others proposed, we do not
intend to argue this matter now, but mere
ly to present another phase of the rail
-rtd questi' It II be )11ected that
road question. . wii ie reco ec • I 3,i
the great point in all discussions, was to
convince the public that certain roads ad
vocated would pay well the stockholders
in dividends or interest. From Pine Grove
R. R. down to . Washington Co. Branch
proposition, this was the desideratum,
and no road was considered worthy of
support unless the stock would pay. Now,
as a 'citizen," we design showing how it
would likely pay vs to. subscribe to the
stock of the Mt, Alto R. R. Happening
to pick up the county papers of the.2stla
of Dec., '72, we noticed the annual report
of the_C—V.._Rß,ending-Sept.-30th7-2;-
Touching on the Mt. Alto R. R. and Iron
Company Branch, we find the following
significant language used : "We loaned
to this Company an amount qua/ to the cost
of the Superstructure for which we hold bonds
and mortgages of ihe • Company."
The painful significance of the clause
becomes plainer by reading the next par
agraph .concerning the • Southern Pa. R.
R., its pecuniary eznbarrassmenti, etc., in
connection with another article insame pa
per, styled "Sale of the Southern Penn'a
Railroad." - That paragraph refers to the
interesting fact that the bonds held by the
C. V.. .H. R. thereon, were duly secured
by first mortgage—precisely as their bonds
are secured on Mt, Alto .Railroad. The
notice of sale states that these bonds with
interest amounted to nearly $700,000, and
that the property was bought by the trus
tee in the second mortgage which amoun
ed to $300.000 more,thus making the price
$1.000,000. No doubt the P. R. R. Co.
bought the road. But the stunning part
of the notice to the poor stockholders is.
this, "this purchase wipes out all the stock
for which subscriptions have been made along
the line of the road,' and if the subscribers
are compelled to pay they will get no stock?!
We imagine the amiable feeling of these
stockholders after suit brought—subscrip
tions collected forcibly—stock wiped out
—next the purchaser digs up and carries
away their ircn ore—paying them the
magnificent royalty of six cents per ton. '
Like causes produce like effects. The
only difference between Mt. Alto branch
and Southern Penn'a R. R., is that of the
tadpole and frog, the S. P. R. R. being
farther iu development and eagerly
swallowed, while Mt.. Alto branch will
share the same fate when big enough for
a good breaskfast. The pleasing yet fa
tai. delusion of all stockholders brings for
cibly to my mind the well known nursery
fable of the Spider and Fly :.
"Will you walk into my parlor?"
Said the spider to the tly ;
."''Tis the prettiest little parlor
That ever you did spy."
The moral is only for those who wish
not to be devoured—for those who are
willing it has no application.
