HARRISBURG, PA
SATURDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 24 1864
TOWN AIND COUNTRY
.&riruotron this morning was extrengely cold,
market was well attended, and a fine supply
of produce and provisions was offered, at the
prices of last week.
Ursr.T.- Last evening a horse attached to a
sleigh, made a sudden turn, near the State
Capitol Hotel, upsetting the sleigh, and turn
ing its occupants into a snow bank. A cool
operation, as the evening was very cold.
A MERRY CERISTMAS to all our readers !
May every one receive a handsome present,
and have Turkey for dinner. We hope all of
of the httle folks will be remembered by Kriss
Kringle, and the big ones by their friends.
BAPTIST Cauncu.—Tkere will be services
in the Baptist Church, corner of Second and
Pine streets, on to-morrow morning at 10i,
and in the evening at 7P. m. The pulpit will
be filled by the Rev. A. J. Rowland, of Roches
ter, New York. The public are invited to
attend:
PAINFUL, ACCIBENT.—Isaac B. Moyer, a sol
dier on crutches, returning homelto Freeburg,
Snyder county, while attempting to get off the
cars at the Selinsgrove Station, on Friday
morning, fell on the track while the train was
was in motion, and had his left leg terribly
• crushed. He was taken to Sunbury where
- .the limb was amputated.
THE BEDFORD Inquirer says; A Prospectus
tiof the Harrisburg TELEGRAPIa is given in
another column. The TELEGRAPH is an en
terprising and wide awake paper, and usually
contains news a day later than the city papers.
It is getting a very large circulation in the in
terior of the State.
A HANDSOME PEESENT.—Tho clerks 0111-
ageyed in the office of Adjutant Leidtke, pre-
Sented that gentleman with a magnificent sil
ver fruit basket, and four beautiful silver
gob/efs, as a token of their regard for him.
Adjutant Leidtke is a faithful officer, and a
perfect gentleman, and the valuable presents
were bestowed upon one worthy of them.
I=l
Dren ix Itsaur,Dom.—We regret to learn
that Captain James E. Wenrick, Company E,
Nineteenth Pennsylvania Cavalry, died at
Columbia, South Carolina, on the 13th of
October last. Deceased was from Philadel
phia, but formerly resided in Harrisburg,
where he has numerous relatives and friends.
He was captured by the rebels and, sent to
their prisons, to die, far from home and
friends.

Posy YOUR Boois.—As the end of the year
:approaches, everybody who has any open ac
,counts, should be posting tip his books and
getting ready for a general settlement. The
man who attends to his duty regularly and
thoroughly, at periods not more than a year
apart, will do well in the world, let him en
oage in what business he will, nine oases in
ten-. You might as well attempt to fling a oat
f ro m o T window so as not to fall upon her feet,
as to bteak a man who keeps his accounts
posted area holds to frequent settlements.—
"Short settiements make long friends," and
what is stronger argument even, in these sor
did days, they make long purses too. Post
your books, then, friend, draw off your bills,
settle disputable matters with your neighbors,
on the liberal spirit of men resolved not to go
to law, and resolved to know where you are
when another New Year comes in, so you
may welcome it in peace and quietness. The
11. S. Assessors will call upon you to make re
turns of your annual income, and you should
have your books posted up.
Tram) Warm IN MAyrion.-1 meeting of the

Attest, W. K. YERBEKE, Pres%
A. L. enema, Seely.
Tau following is a copy of an address is
sued to the people of Pennsylvania, by Major
Dodge, A. A. Provost Marshal General. Our
readers should give it a careful perusal, and
net accordingly. Every man is interested in
the matter, and should assist in filling quotas
in the manner mentioned:
&manor; !—The President has called for
300,000 troops, to be raised by 'volunteering
or draft. The 15th of February, 1805, has
been fixed upon as the day of draft. If your
quotas are not filled by volunteers by that
time the deficiency will most certainly be
'made up by draft.
Ward and Township Committees are earn
estly invited to commence work at one.
The longer you delay the more difficult will
be your task.
The attention of these Committees is also
Invited to the necessity and propriety of de
ii:fering. up to the District Provost Marshals
c al Winquatts from former drafts.
It :Is impossible for the 'United State author•
ities to' find these men, secreted as they are
by their friends and by persons hostile to the
GovernueNlL
Committees, United States, state and
County officers, and all good oitixens are re
quested to arret these men, and deliver them
to the Provost liatishals.
Every man so arrek,ted and put into service
by the Board of Enrollment counts one to
wards filling your quota.
Information by letter or otherwise, fur
nished to District Provost Marshals of the
Whereabouts of these delinquents will be
thankfully received and promptly acted upon._
Provost Marshals will cause lists of delin
quents from all former WO to be made and
distributed, to the end that all so disposed
buy understandingly assist in forcing these
delinquents to perform their duty to their
country and to their own people.
104 in all your delinquents; exert your

RICHARD I. '
Major 12th Infantry, A. A. P. _ l4l '
Harrisburg, Dew. 22, 1864.
SWORD PRESENTATION.—A sword, sash, belt
and revolver, costing some two hundred dol
lars, have been presented to Captain A. Wilson
Decker, of company K, 202 d Pa. Vols., by
the members of his command. The presenta
tion speech was made.by Rev. A. R. Miller,
Chaplain of the regiment, and the reverend
Captain replied. Both addresses were highly
interesting and patriotic.
OYSTERS AND Elm—Our readers should
not forget that Mr. Evy, Second street, near
Mulberry, has a splendid lot of oysters and
fish, fresh from the Baltimore and Philadel
phia markets, which he brought to Harrisburg
expressly for the holidays. A turkey stuffed
with oysters will make a dinner fit for the
Lieutenant General or,. the Vice Admiral.
Evy has the oysters, and those who have the
turkeys should not fail to call upon him for
the, oysters. •

ST. PAUL'S EPISCOPAL CIDDICR, COINER OF
RIDGE ROAD AND RESERVOES.—DiTine service
on Sunday (Christmas) morning, at 10i o'clock,
and in the afternoon the annual Christmas
celebration of the Sunday School, the exer
cises commencing at half-past two o'clock.
In consequence of the celebration there will
be no evening 'service. This church has been
neatly decorated in commemoration of the
present festive season.
PERSONAL.—We notice in our midst Major
James Woodal, Assistant Chiet Quartermaster
at Headquarters of the Fifth Army Corps.—
At the opening of the rebellion he marched
to the field as a private in the Kepner Fenci
bles (12th Pa. Reserves,) andwas subsequently
promoted
.to a lieutenantcy, and afterwards
to Quartermaster of the regiment to which he
belonged. Now he fills a position worthy of
the man, and one that will receive his whole
attention. Maj. W. is looking well. He will
remain in our midst a few days, and then re
turn to his post.
ELLTbIGER & FOOTE continue to attract large
crowds to Brant's Hall, Everybody is anxious
to see the Commodore and his little compan
ions, whose iferformances on the stage are as
wonderful as they are amusing. They appear
in so many different characters as to present
a new programme at each exhibition. These
little folk] are not deformed in any respect,
and although they are no larger than children
of two or three summers, they are as intelli
gent and have minds as fully, developed in all
respects as persons of mature age. The old
Continentals also appear at each entertain
ment, and sing some of their good old songs
that have been listened to by thousands in all
quarters of our Union; Miss Ellinger, (now
Mrs: Russell,) and Profs. Brooks and Woodall
add to the attractions by their fine music, and
Col. Ellinger gives an interesting account of
the "little ones." The whole troupe will ap
pear at Brant's Hall this evening; also on.
'Monday afternoon and evening. We hope to
see the Hall crowded on each occasion. The
entertainment of Monday night will be the
last of the season.
This afternoon the hall was crowded in
every nook and corner, with ladies and
children, and all were delighted. Look out
for a terrible jam on Monday afternoon and
evening.
Crattmus is at hand, and with all that hap
piness and merriment which we have all here
tofore experienced on so many similar occa
sions. It is a day of enjoyment to the aged
and infirm, to the middle aged, and especi
ally to children, as their eyes are centered on
the many nice things they've received from
tha•visit,of St. Niok. The following lines will
give our young readers some idea of the man
ner in which this benevolent friend of the
"little folks" makes his appearance on Christ
mas eve, after the stockings have been hung
in the chimney in anticipation of his annual
visit:
'Twas the night before Christmas, and all
through the house,
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;
The stockings were hung by the chimney
with care
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be
there;
The children were nestled all snug in their
beds,
While visions of sugar-plums danced thro'
their heads ;
And Mamma in her 'kerchief and I in my cap,
Had just settled our brains for a long winter's
nap—
When out on the lawn there arose such a clat
ter,
I sprang from my bed to see what was the
matter.
Away to the window I dew like a flash,
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash;
The moon, on the breast of the new-fallen
snow,
Gave the lustre of midnight to objects below—
When, what to my wondering eyes should
appear,
But a miniature sleigh with eight tiny rein
deer,
With a little old driver so lively and quick,N.
I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick.
. • -
More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,
And he whistled and shouted, and called them
by name;
"Now Dasher! now Dancer! now Prancer!
now Vixen!
On Comet! on Cupid! on Donder and Blixen!
To the top of the porch! to the top of the
wall!
Now desh away, dash away, dash away, all?"
As leaves that before the wild huricane fly,
When they meet with an obstacle, mount to
the sky.
So up to the house-top the coursers they flew,
With a sleigh full of toys—and St. Nicholas
too;
And then in a twinkling, I heard on the roof
The prancing and pawing of each little hoof;
As I drew in my head and was turning around,
Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a
bound.
He was dressed - all in fur from his head to leis
foot,
And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes
and soot;
A bundle of toys he had flung on his back,
And he looked like a pedler just opening his
pack,
His eyes, how they twinkled! his dimples how
merry!
His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a
cherry;
His droll little mouth was drawn up like a
bow,
And the beard on his chin was as white as the
snow.
The stump of a pipe he held tight in his
teeth,
And the smoke it encircled his head like a
wreath;
He had a broad face and a little round belly,
Vat shock, when he laughed like a bowl full
of jelly;
He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old
elf,
And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of
myself.
A wink of his eye, and a twist of his head,
Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread,
He spoke not a word, but went straight to his
work,
And filled all the stockings; then turned with
a jerk,
And laying his finger aside of his nose,
And giving a nod, p.p the chimney he rose.
He sprang to his eleigh, to his team gave a
whistle,
And away they all gew like the down of a
thistle
-3314 I beard him exclaim, ere he drove gut of
