CHRISTMAS WEEK.-Again we greet
our readers after week of absence, and
this time with the compliments of the New
Year. The old year has passed with its
hopes and fears joys and sorrows, and the
new is ushered in with its usual round of
pleasure. Elkton was unusually lively dur
ing the holiday week. The Tabcaux, adj
vertiscd in our last issue, occupied the time
and afforded Il pleasant recreation to our
citizens during the evenings the major part
Of the week. The exhibition was well got
ten up, and did much credit to the artistic
skill Of the town. 1t is admitted, by those
competent to give correct opinion, that
many. of the TableauX compared tavoraby
with those gotten up in the cities, where
every appliance is readily comcatablc, and
the most favorable places for exhibition can
be procured. a number Of the troupe won
the admiration of all who attended the cx-
hlbitons, for the skill and talent displayed
in pcrsonating the figures designed to be rep
resented. We might particularizc in some
instances, but it would be ungencrous to
aw2sd individual praises, where all ere so

weather, which prevailed during the week.
the courthouse was filed, with the excep-
ton of the last evening. Doubtless the
charitable objects for which the exhibitions
were got up, pleaded strongly with bencv-
client public for their patronage, and the
managcrs-though it was their wish to have
realized a larger sum, yet they are gratifed
to announce that the gross proceeds amount
ed to S25l.00, leaving, after dcdnctng eX-
pcnses, about $4,000 to be appropriated to
the poor Of the town ana the Christian Com
mission.
The Sabbath school Exhibition and Con
cert, connected with the NJ. +. Church, was
postponed from Monday evening, the Doth
Of December, to Monday evening, January
ID, on account of sickness of some of the
principal managers. The Exhibition came
off on the latter evening, and proved quite
satisfactory to all engaged, both as to per-
Torrance and pecuniariy. III gross amount
of proceeds was $500. The performance
part ook mainly of the concert order of ex-
hibitons, and the audience enjoyed some
very fine singing by the choir, and the chill
drcn gave evidence of very considerable
degree of musical talent.
The Sunday school Exhibition at Cherry
Hill, came off on Thursday evening, the
10Th ultimo, and was creditablc to the school.

Snow AND Winter has
visited this latitude with unusual severity the
present reason. The cold has often been in
tense and large quantity of snow has fallen.

the number of dashing seighs and clashing,
rafting Ginning bells, all who can manage
to procure teams are enjoying the sport.
