SERVICES HANDSOMELY RECoGYIzED.
1t gives us great pleasure in stating that
the services of Messrs. E. ]. Ward and G.
H. SHREDDER we're duly appreciated by
their employers, Messrs. Schwab h Co.,
who rendered them beautiful presents at
Christmas. That's the way to do. En-
courage energy in individuals and you II
soon have an enterprising community.
STILL AT IT,-Robbins, a nurse in the
late county hospital at FortPickering, and
DR.. Beecher, its superintendent, are still
at II, trying to convict each other of lar
c0ncy. There looks like conspiracy"
somewhere; and we don't know whether
the parties indicting each other or the
magistrates who first try the cases will
make the most oft.
Ladies' pride themselves upon their
Christmas cakes, pastries. etc. II you
want them very nice and pretty, make
them of Morgan's Self Rising Flour. 1t
never fails. It saves half the butter, lard
and eggs, and makes the best cake in the
world, and that so easily and cheaply. liz
FINE ARTS PRBsEYT-A very correct
portrait of Rev. c. A. Davis, of the Cum.
berland Presbyterian Church, painted by
our accomplished artist, Captain John r.
Saunders, was presented 10 Mrs. Davis
as Christmas gift by the ladies' of the
church. Nothing SO appropriate or
touching could have been rendered on the
happy occasion.
GANBLIYG.-Another raid was made on
the faro dealers and rondo rollers last
night, but by some mysterious maneu-
yer they all gave the Metropolitans the
"slip" except one, who put up forfeit
of 500 for his appearance this morning
before Recorder Richards; but failing
to keep his word, the 500 was con6s.
Gated.
TAKING ToGGERY. Philip is a
customer who belongs to the association
called "hookers." He hooked an over
coat from a clearinghouse rack on
Court street yesterday, but failing to
make his escape without detection, was
handed over to the powers that be " in
