All our churches had their trees or treats, with programed of songs and rositations, winch the young folks greatly enjoyed, ' but not more so than did their parents.

E. churches had their treats, with songs and recitations the same evening. The Catholic children had their treat in the school building and the Church of God children in the church building Christmas i afternoon. The Presbyterian, Bethany Reformed and Baptist had their trees and treats Christmas evening The Presbyterian an<' Baptist churches were crowded, and the Baptists added some stereoptican views to their entertainment. All the churches were decorated; the Spirit of Christinas prevailed, and every body was happy. At St. John's Reformed church in Butler Lwp, a collection of $22.50 was taken up for the Orphans Home.

Last Sunday, week, fifteen people joined the church there, and the room was crowded at both day and night services. Oliver Stoughton's Sunday School Class made a surprise party for him at his home near Prospect, a few days ago, and passod a very enjoyable evening. Owing to the illness of Rev. E. Cronen wett there will be no services in the Ger man Lutheran church noxt Sunday. The Lord's Supper will be administered to the Grace Lutheran congregation on next Sunday J an. satll A. M. Prepara tory services will be held on Friday even ing at 7. IK) o'clock. The servioes to be held in W. C. T. U, hall on W. ./efferson St. ,96 WILL BE A GREAT YEAR, And The Pittsburg Dispatch Will Tell All About it. Next year promires to bo a remarkable one for news. There will be national con ventions which everything indicates will be more than usually exciting, and an election of vital importance. There are wars and rumors of wars, and international complications almost without number. It is the year in which the Greater Pittsburg is to bo inaugurated, and the new era in Pennsylvania politics bids fair to make matters lively from one end ol the State to the other. ''The Pittsburg Dispatch" will have the most accurate, oomplete and ex elusive reports of these events, and of all others that will transpire. The Dispatch is now the only newspaper, not only in America, but in the world, which has a staff correspondent ir.sido of the lines of the revolutionary army in Cuba, insuring prompt and trustworthy imformation of the great struggle which is attracting so much attention. What other papers get by hearsay aud rumors The Dispatch re ceives direct from its own staff on the spot Hut while the news is of the first import ance the other features which go to make up the modern newsp»por-magazine will receive oveu more attention than in the Nearly all of the really prominent authors of the two hemispheres have been engaged to write for Tue Dispatch d iring 1880. The list includes A. Conan Doyle, Kudyaril Kipling, Sarah Orne Jewett, Harold Frederic, Justin Hnutley McCarthy, Bert Harte, Anthony Hope, Mrs. Burton Harrison, John StraLge Winter. S. Baring Gould, Frank it. Stockton, S. K. Crockett, and, in fact, practically all of the famous authors whose novels aud tales delight the reading public. The ablest scientific and economic writ ers will vie with the most noted humorists to both instruct and entertain. The de partment Uevoted to the fair sex and the household will be placed on an even high er plane, if that bo possible, than before. On January 1 the Dispatch will publish its New Years feature, a comprehensive chronological record ot the events of 1805 This has been imitated, but never on the fcale of the original in The Dispatch. It is'something which alono is worth a year's subscription at 11 work ol historical refer ence, in which all subjects, local as wall as general, are treated. ~At 2cents, 10 cents a week, or 15 cents with the Sunday issue, delivered through carriers or newsdealers, The Dispatch is the best value on earth.
