CHRrsTMAs.-To- day ia Christmas, a
day held sacred by some of the Churches
and observed with much pomp and cere-
mony. BY the masses, however, it is
held as holiday, day of rejoicing, OF
feasting and Of joyous demonstrations.
1t is especially looked forward to by the
young folks with the brightest anticipa-
tions and most brilliant hopes They
wait with impatienee for the coming Of
Santa Claus and his team of Renders,
and his packages of beautiful toys and
holiday gifts, and we are glad to think
that their bright dreams are not likely
to be disappointed. GIVE
We took stroll along Main street,
from Fourth to Water, and.not only found
most Of the notion, jewelry and confec-
tionary stores crowded, but the side
walks were literally blocked at times.
A vast crowd visited Schlaepfer's drug
store Cor the finest toilet goods, Schap-
ker q Bussing's for handsome dress
goods, and Geissler's for elegant jewell
ry. Professor Bucks magnificent es-
adjustment was literally overrun, as two
errands could here be accomplished uu-
der the same roof The rarest and
finest jewelry and fancy goods, and the
choicest of books, ETC., could be pur-
chased by turning from the sparkling
showcase to the well-flled shelves Of
Dobell.
The tide that set towards Warren b
Conyngton's was such as must have ex-
hausted any other establishment, but a
careful inspection late Saturday even
ing convinced us that their supply was
inexhaustible and their varieties un-
broken, and they are prepared to meet
all early demands this morning.
Barter's fine book store was also well
patronized and many valuable purchases
made.
We were glad to see that the demand
for Christmas gifts takes rather a utili-
tartan form, and candies and useless
and fragile toys were passed by and ar
ticles of prime necessity such as boots
and gloves and nubias and other arti-
cles of comfort and utility were selected,
and we believe that If Old Kriss KinkIe
met with no mishaps last night, that
there will be hosts of young hearts hap
Ply this morning.
Some of our young friends will of
course have shooting crackers and tor
pedoes, but we hope they will be very
careful and do no mischief. Don't throw
crackers in peoples faces OF on their
clothes, as you might put their eyes out
or set them on fire, and don't throw
crackers at passing or standing teams,
as you might cause them to run off and
do great harm. Enjoy the day in such
manner as will best promote your hap
piness and the happiness of all around
YOU. And to our readers one and all,
and 10 our friends here and elsewhere,
We wish merry Christmas E.

| New METRoPoLITAN.-There was a
very fair audience at thetheatre on Sat-
urday night in reponse to the appeal Of
Mr.. Grierson for benefit, but it would
have afforded as much pleasure to have
seen it much larger--commensura
with the character of the BENEFICIARY.
In consequence of the severe indispo-
sition of one of the Company, who was
indispensable to the play, the programme
was changed, and "Ireland 40 itWas''
was substituted, and most admirably
played. Mr.. Goldeu's Dan. O'Caro.
Ian " is pronounced by competent judges
as the very best rendition of the chsrac-
ter ever produced The entire company
played we'll Mrs Golden's songs, and
especially the Star Spangled Banner,
we're received with the warmest enthu-
siasm. The tableau of Washington
crossing the Delaware was splendid
spectacle, and was warmly appIauded.
Tonight Mr. Golden takes a compli-
mentary benefit, rendered him by some
two hundred of our leading and most
respectable citizens, and we hope each
man will feel that he 10 personally re-
sponsible for the success of the under
taking. No man ever labored with more
uutiring energy to establish a respecta-
bic plaza of intellectual entertainment
for any people, or has made greater
sacrifices for the accomplishment of
that purpose, and his many friends and
admirers in the city owe it to him to
give him a bouncing benefit tonight
He will appear in his specially, the
Corsican Brothers," appearing in two
characters at the same moment, and in
" Shoulder Straps" play written by
himself Let everybody go, and fill the
house to its fullest capacity. This night
closes the New Metropolitan for Eve
nights, in order to enable Mr.. Golden to
fulfill the promise, made last summer to
several prominent citizens of New
Harmoney, to play in their town.
