. CHRISTfitAS.-du a few days Christmas will
be upon us with all its festivities and merri-.
meta,. as well as with its more serious and
more earnest duties. 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. Dancer! now, Prancer and
• lixen
On, efmici on Cupid !-(in, Donder and Blitzert!
To the top of the porch ! to the top of the wall P"
Now, dash away! dash away! dash away all!" = •

So ;do ~.osn-to.p th ~ , u sers they flew.
With n 4 , 41.1 fair of toys end St. Nicholas too.
And tuen - in n twinkling, 1 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 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.

In our free and happy country we are gen
erally under the impresSion that Rim:a and
kindred material have.none of the smallness

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&

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-,

The special baby we refer to, sat an its

about two years old, and this baby cried all

DISC/JAWED FROM -RICHMOND.-4-Amos
Barnes, a colored 'resident of 31.ercersburg,
was seized by the rebels on the 2d of July
last, and' taken to "Richmond' when Lee re•
treated across the Potomac. 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.

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

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.
