To theyoti,ng,lt always brings mirth and jollity in its merry train. - It is the, grand gala season of the year—a time of freedom in its broadest sense—a pe riod of unrestrained enjoymeat,. when the quiet "old folks' are" respectfully requested by "Young America" to stand aside, and give place to the romp. the Sport and the dance. Just about this time the "little folks" are beginning to prepare their biggest stock inas, Pir the expected visit of - their ancient friend, Santa Claus, - NN ho always mnneges to creep through the most diminutive icey holes, and steal down the smallest chimneys, expressly for the purpose of filling their baskets with all kinds of treasures. Good, 'generous' soul! how inany has he made hap,- ,pier by his annual visitations—ho* many 'sleepless nights there Will be between this ,day and "thegood time coming"—how many innocent hearts wilb.beat high; with delight., as the happy dawn arrives, Which unveils the promised gifts of the munificent St. Icich ," °lasi In accordance with custom; we pub lisle below the charming lines Of Prof. Moore. which have become inseparably associated with Christmas times, and which are always read with pleasure by old and young : A VISIT - FROM ST. NICHOLAS 'Twas the night before Chris tin us, when all through the house Not a ereaturewas stirring, not even a mouser The stockings were hung by the chimney with care. In hopes that St. Nie'holas soon would be there: The children were neetled all snug' in their bed444 1 ,- . . Whilerisions of sugar plums danced in their head And Mamma in her 'kerebiof. and in my cap, Had just settled down for a long winter's nap; When.out in] the lawn there at am Such a clatter, I arose from my bed to . see what was the matter, Away to the window flew dike a lash, Tore open the shutters and threw upthesastr, The moon on the breast of the now fallen snow Gave thorlustre of mid-day to objei_tts below. When,. what to my wondering eyes should appear. But u miniature sleigh, and eight tiny reindeer, With a little old driver, so lively.and quick. I kilea , in a moment most be old Nick, More rapid than eagles his coursers they came, And he whistled, and cheated, and called them by (11141 C. . "No* Dasher! now.

Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a bound. He wa, dreeti - all iu fur fium his head to his feet. And his clothes Acre, all tarnidmil with ashes and /not; A bundle of toys he bad flung un-bis back". And he lookul like a• pedha just openiul his pack. His eyes how they twinkled, his dimples how merry! His cheeks were like roses, his wise like a cherry; His droll little mouth was drawn' up like a bow. And the heard of his chin was as irhite as the snow; The stump of a pipe he held tight I„,his, teeth, ' And the smoke it encircled his hearlike a wreath. He had a broad face and a little round belly, Thatshook, when he laughed, like a bowlful of jelly. He was chubby and plumb, a right jolly old elf, And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself; wlnk of his eye, and a twist of his head, Sotragave me to know I had nothing to dread. He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work. Andtlled all the stockings, then turned with a jerk, And laying his finger asideraf his nfise, And giving a nod, up the chitane'y he rose, And sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whlStle, And away they aH flew like the down of a this*, - But I heard hiui exclaim, ere he drove oat of sight, " Merry Chriatticucto all and to all a Good MAU " Guam. WITH Ou Fax.Eiais.—We once made the highly original remark that the weather is a fruitful as ,well as safe subject for gossip. Little did we imagine that we would have.such weather tolgoss, , ajout ns that of the past week. On the night of tle 16th it began to rain,.hail and sleet, and on • the - litli it great deal.morn of the same sort, , ahtil.Tthe ground. and trees and telegraph" wires were coated with bright, sparkling ice. The trees looked like ghosts of trees, glitter - ing like the eyes of a beautiful though heart less belle. The ground was very unsafe for some people that we wot Of. Even.the _la dies kept within doors. The cracking of trees was heard 'in 'every direction. Tele ..graph poles were like 11. Si Stocks after 'the battle of, Bull. Run, , and the wires drooped like a cock's tail in a thunder shower. tThe 'forests looked like Fairy land on the' thl .• i . lowng morning, with the glorious sunrahi ning.upon them, bringing -out,all the colors of the rainbow; but like rbarty abother"too - . ardent lover, destroying the beauty z „that , he reit ered for the time more beautiful. NOth in now remains but the disfigured stumps of what were oncograceful trees. ~ ' • Have we a police amongst us? Is there no law to protect quiet citizens who wish to • sleep? Shall we who live in town keep si lence because, forsooth, the' Senior resideth in the country? Who is it that maketli the outrageous noises throughout the once sober • ' streets of our goodly Borough. Their noise • a that of •lions and •? tigers, - of cats and o dogs, of hyenas and of jackals. Their num ber, appeareth to be, legion, thoughT ‘ we opine with a cherished hope that they be - but few in number. . , One day last week we were the unwilling witnesses of ; ofa horrible Outrage perpetrated upon a ry , gro, in the open streets of the city of BaorimiLy LOPE. A„ maligions white brother threw a bucket full of flour and wa ter into the face of the nnoffending 4 , man and a brother," plastering him in such a manner that he would have passed for white. :Er Tribune ptiase copy. In our free and happy country we are gen erally under the impresSion that Rim:a and kindred material have.none of the smallness ea of ourselves. Imagine the open-mouthed astonishment of &friend . of mine who hap pened to 11 - in a visit to the Royal Picture Gallery in Paris, to see the Sing of Holland carefully extinguish his cigar stump, 'about an inch and a half long; before entering, holding it in his mouth - for two bours,land then, having made his exit, pull ont a match and light the self-same Stump with an Ede& extreme satisfaction. Surely Kings are mor tal. Hereafter let. all jokes cease upon soldiers." ' Cannot something be done with the ahem- , : ployed boys who,congreg4e in and around, the Passengers' roam at "the R. IL Depot! each time the trains arrive t How would it do to hang one for thebenetlt of the rest? Did you ever travel in a car with a si•ying baby? We did, and can testify to the un-i pleasantness of it. It is• true we were all, babies once, and possibly we may have Cried; 'too; but it would do us infinite good to know now that wo had been well spanked for an-, noying our neighbors of a larger growth: The special baby we refer to, sat an its mother's lap, behind us; in the care, wze‘ about two years old, and this baby cried all the way from Harrisburg to PhiladOlphis;, from 51- P. M., to 1/.. It howled like ti pup -1 py that had his tail trodden on, meowei a tom-cat at midnight, and squealed Mice .stuck pig. It kicked and scratched and bit.

We lonked f(! ,the days of Herod, and bore our fate Withou grinning. Last . Saturday night we were waked froin a pleasant snooze about 11 o'clock by a fear. ful noise at a certain hotel on Main; street The noise was so great that we were not e 4 tonidted to hear a female voice froin ono the lnirriedlY opened windows exchtiM in' tone of unaffected terror ; "Is it a biatle ? - Again we ask, .1-I:lave we a police ?"

He was- at first confined closely in Castle Thunder, but after some time was taken out, with other cap4e negroes, and put to work in Camp Winder. Subsequently he was employed to labor on boat carrying wood to-Richmond, and was treated kindly—the Captain occasionally al lowing him to load some refuse wood for himself and sell it in Richmond, Where commended high prices in rebel money: He saw a number of free negroes tied up and flogged at different times ; but he for'tunate ly escaped by- his adroitness and his success ful efforts to pleaSe those who had chargelof him. Ho was with others all around Rich.: mond in the performance of his labors, always in charge of an officer,.and he had a good opP(')rtunity to judge. of the workings of the rebellion in its oapital. He tried various methods to gets letters north, but without success. Finally two men in Richmond called on him and:named him but did not give their. names, and told him that ho could be discharged by getting a certificate signed by several persons in Mer cersbitrg whom they named. They had evi dently been students at Mersersburg College More than ten years before, for among oth ers they named one man who had been ab sent from this county fully that. period.H- Barnes, itt once set himself to work to get it letter through, and finally got on the rebel guard to do it. for him for $25 in rebel money. That letter reached - Mercersburg, and. brought in reply a certificate .signed by nearly all the leading citizens of the duce testifying that be f was a free man, and *Rev. Dr. Creigh also wrote Rev. Mr. Mbore of the subject. Upon these papers he was dis charged on Tuesday of last, week, and h , tame by way of Fortress Monroe and reaqh ed omo on last Saturday night..., He had considerable intercourse with the rebel soldiers there, and represents them a eery tired of the war. He heard bitter mut terings among them at different times, ant. especially as to their currency. Greenback sold - for from ten to twelve dollars for one in rebel currency, and the rations often consisted of nothing but corn bread and coffee Made of, corn and rice. He says another bread riot broke out in Richmond week before lasty in which the women participated prominently but it Was quelled by temporarily supplying tliem with-food. • Hesays that there are very few troops about Richmond ; • that he never saw as many as fifty in one body in or about the city,: All have been sent to Lee and Longstreet. He says that-the tone of the rebel troops about Richmond is one of gen eral despondency, and that many despair of theauccesa of the rebellion. He is an uneducated but rather intelligent negro, And we regard his representations a: , entirely reliable. CHRISTMAS `FEsTivrOta.—The holiday s !mon, near at hand, promises to be observed with unusual intermit. _ To-morrow evening (Christmas y.ve)!the Hope Fire Company will have a splendid entertainment in their Hall. Song, and toast, and good cheer will prevail, and aide lightful time is anticipated. Hot coffee and cold water, we learn, will be the only liquids tolerated, The Burgess and Town, Council have been invited and will no doubt be present. I :Capt. Schelling's Co. D, 16th Iteg. '.

Our Band will furnish the music. , We have been requested to say that those who have already contributed or who intend to contribute, will be kind enough to send in their gifts to the committee at the Court Hall on to-morrow (Thursday) afternoon. Per . - i.ons whom the committee have not been t able to wait upon need not on that I - ec 'tint be re luctant to assist in the matter, as any sup plies they may send will be thankfully re .ceived and acknowledged. The Invalid Corps is composed. of men, veterans in• the service, who have heroically attested their devotion to the 'cause of liberty and the perpetuation of the Republic on the battle- fields of the country, and deserve our kindest consideration and esteem The Court Hall will be open for public ill gwetion from 11,A. M. to 1 P. M. We undOstand that a dinner will be given by the ladies to the inmates of the 'Hospital oti the same day. SKY ERE STORM.—One of the severest and most destructive storms we remember to have seen in this region for years. occurred on Friday last. The rain, accompanied by sleet, came down in torrents, :freezing as it fell, and rendering walking on the btreets and pavements almost impossible. The surface walls of buildings became almost as brilliant as a Mirror and lee .pondants from cornices .were of a highly attractive and ornamental diameter. The troN •-were burdened- with ice of the most fantastic and beautiful shapes but very destructive in consequences. Some of the largest trees yielded to the immense weight upon them: . and fallen timber . could be found in every direction. In some places. the r a Is were so obstructed as to remind one o'. the abattis work of an enemy, and from a tlte number of trees and limbs con stantly crashing and falling, travel was really a dangerous business. Orchards and shade t roes malered considerably, and the destruc tive effects of the storm upon all kinds of tim ber will be visible in this section for years. GEN: E. B.Tl7Lint.—lt may - be of inte rvst to the brave soldiers of the 120th Begi inent, to know that'the favorite commande: of the brigade to which they -belonged, is in command at Baltimore, having charge and direction of the defences of that city. Gen. Tyler's record bea=rs date with the very be ginning of the war, and is of the most hon orable Sharacter.' Ha originally couituanded the ith.Ohio Regiment, a body of 'Men who have stood the brunt of several fights, and in late encounters lost their brave „Colonel, Lieut. Colonel and Adjutant. The kind so cial qualities, gentleinanly demeanor, and high thilintrY administrative abilities of the G,neral, we notice ,by Baltimore journals, are 14roperly appreCiated. RESIONED.—Capt. Benjamin Roth's, com manding- Company K, 107th Regt. .Penna. Vols., has resigned his position and returned 0o this place. The Captain was Orderly Ser geant 'of Captain - Doebler's Company in the three month's service. Soon after the expi ration of his term .ho was mustered in US First Lieutenant of Capt. Brand's Conipany, and upon the resignation of that officer suc ceeded him in command and was commissl Toned Captain. a promotion which faithful service justly entitled him. On many of the battle-fields of the' Army of the Potomac, Capt. Rodes has proved himself a brave and gallant soldier, and he how 'retire's from the army; reluctantly, on account of ill health. FRIENI)§IIIP FIRE COMPANY.—At a meet ing of the Frionchhip Fire Qompany held at their Engine House, Dec. 14, 1 1863, tli following officers were elected I'6r:the CP.FII/- ing six months :- President— B.

To SCHOOL DIRKCTORR —We see by the, *hoot Jounial, that in.at diately after' the tnnual appointment of teachers in each dis .rict, the Secretary of the Board'for the dis •triet is required to send a written list of their names, and the schools to which they have been respectively appointed, to the pro per County Superintendent, with'a notice of the day upon which the ensuing term of -ehoel in ,the district will commence, and the termination thereof, as directed by the Beard. .• FOREIGN ENLISTMENT'S.--WO learn that recruiting agents from Rhode Island and other States have been in Chambersburg, Greencastle and perhaps other sections of the county, enlisting megroes to till the quotas of. their respective States. This is in open vio lation of the regulations and the proclama tion of Gov.` Curtin, and it should not be al lowed. ,We would be thankful to any one for information respecting such• recruiting officers if they appear again at any point in this county. FROM Mortal°RD.—Letters were.received here on Monday last from a number of our citizen prisoners now at Salisbury, North Carolina. One from Mr. Thomas H. Mc , Dowell, dated the 11th inst., says that they received several letters from home, and two boxes otprovisions have reached them. He taus that "Rev. Dr. Moore has been very uttentive to us, supplying our wants." All of them write in good spirits, and are enjoy ing good health. IV the Waynesboro Record concedes that the REPOSITORY has the largest circulation, its editor need not be at the trouble and ex pense of attending court, and his advertising is much more periled by his wanton ill-tem per than by eilher the REPOSITORY or the new law. , RELIGIOUS SERvicEs.—Thecustomiry so lemnities will lake place in the Catholic Church at 5 o'clock on Christmas-morning, Rev. Mr. M'Cullom On . such 4 ' - occasions the church is decor4ted in the most tasteful manner, and the mate rendered in ;he fhcst style. 1 Rev. H. dosser, of Landisbur,g, Perry county, Pa.; will preach in ,the _German Re formed Church on next Sabbath morning and evening RECRUITS.—We invite attention to the adVertiscment of Sergeant Ferguson in' 'an other column, calling for recruits for Bat= 'tery B, 241 Pa. Artillery. This is a most excellent regiment and, it offers extraordina ry advantages to young men waiiting to en ter the army. Why don't the Counca, or citizens of Chambersburg make it systematic effort to fill the quota of theborough? Sergt. Ferguson could greatly facilitate the work if he had the co-operation, of our citizens. I.llt.
