A Cold Sleigh Ride.

THE Pottsville Journal, Of last week,
published an account Of a sleighiDg
party Of ladies and gentlemen from st.
Clair, having ceen attacked on the
mountain, as they were going from that
place to Mahony City, and robbed. The
Journal said. aItmay seem incredible,
but it is positively stated that the rob-
bers stripped the occupants of the sleigh
of their clothing, leaving nothing but
the underclothing Of the women and the
Buffalo robes that we're in the Sleigh
The robbers compelled them to turn back
aud return to st. Clair. We have since
learned that the occupan Is of the sleigh
we're party Of married men with women
other than their wives, who were out for
a good time con the sly" thinking their
spousss knew nothing about il; and that
the "kighwaymen" were the wives of the
aforesaid gentlemen, who, having got
wind of the delinquency Of their liege
lords, had disguised themselves and laid
i1 wait for the party, determined by this
means to aveDge themselves and punish
the offenders. .-[Tamaqua (P. Az

A Row i'm a Methodist
Church.

On Tuesday evening scene of a
somewhat unusual character occurred in
the Methodist Episcopal Church, ALE.
ghany, Pennsylvania, An evening
meeting was iu progress there, and in
attendance were two women, occupying
the same pew. One Of them suddenly
recognized in the other person with
whom she had accused her husband of
having improper intimacy, She deter
mined to have distinct understanding
about the matter there and then, and
commenced her accusations against the
other in an audible whisper. The re
sponses were equally vehement, and OF
last the conversation became 80 vigorous
as to disturb the service and attract the
attention of all present Shortly all
attempts to subdue their voices ceased,
and the wOrdy war waged unrestrained,
AT length the opponents took position
in the aisle, and commenced a vigorous
hand.to-hand fight, scratching, pulling
hair, and clapper chawing generally
At last they were separated, and put out
of the church. .-ROchester IN. "

DON'T TATTLE.-Children, don't talk about
each other, Don't call one Of your school
mates ugly, another stingy, another cross,
behind their backs. 1t is mean. Even if
they are ugly, stingy or cross, it does you no
good to repeat it. 1t makes you love to tell
of faultS--it makes you uncharitable-yOur
soul grows smaller--your heart looses its
generous blood, when you tattle about your
friends. Tell all the good you know about
them, and carry the sins in your own heart,
or else tell them TO God and ask him to par
don them. That will be Christ like. If any
body says to you, 10, that Mary Wills did
such nahghty thiugl" call to mind some
virtue that Mary posSeSseS, and hold it up
to her praise, For your own sake, learn to
make this habit.

The BLACK BAND ORE.--It'is noWl

the black band ore recently discovered
ia Schuylkill county, Pennsylvania, is In
all respects equal to the very best iles-
criptions of Scotch pig iron, and can be
produced at prices so low as for ever to
prohibit competitions from Great Britain.
1t is found to exist in almost. exhaus tlass
abundance and under circumstances re-
markably favorable for its easy, trsnspor-

CRIME AMONG FEMALEs.-The police
returns show daily an increase Of
drunkenness and crime among women,
which cannot be wondered at when we
see our sidewalks filled with such crowds
of courtesans as daily appear between
the hours Of eleven o'clock in the
morning and two o'clock P. NJ. It is a
painful fact, but nevertheless true, that
the proportionate of crime committed by
fcmales is very little below that commit

this growing evil iG matter we'll worthy

and women who are ever ready to aid in

we state that there have been, within the
last month, upward of 200 females
arraigned before the court for crimes aud

CHRISTMAS AND THE SABBATH
SCHOOLS.

Interesting Exercises Among the
Sabbath school ChIidren-ChrIst-
mas Trees and Presents-A Merry
Time.
We had the satisfaction on Christmas
morning Of attending the exercises for the
benefit and pleasure Of the Sabbath school
children at several Of the churches in the
city. We have before remarked that our
Sabbath schools were admirably conducted
and well attended. 1t was real pleasure on
Christmas to see the happy children with
sweet faces and unstained hearts, couras
geous in their innocence aad gleeful in
their merry makings. We went back our
self TO our boy by-gone before pain had
pierced the bosom or time had printed the
alphabet of care upon the brow.
We first went 10 the First Baptist
Church, which has a very large Sabbath
school attendance. Two hundred children
are reported at this school, with an aver
age attendance OF one hundred aud thirty
i've. Mr.. Alfred Scott Is the Superin-
tendent and Arson Nelson Assistant,
with a very jealous and efficient
prorriately opened, the opening song being
Merry Christmas to All" Then fol-
lowered joyful be Our Numbers" Don't
you Hear the Angels Coming" A Light
in the Window," and "Shall we Sing in
Heaven ?' The singing closed with
Marching Along" The singing was
participated in by the pupils, teachers and
congregation. The faces Of the young Ia
dies beamed with JOY and delight, while
about their brows glowed the pure au.
reola.
After the singing old Santa Claus,
wrapped in furs and wearing long his whit
ry beard, entered amid gleeful welcomes
and the clapping of little hands. He APP
peared in front of the magnificent Christ
mas tree laden with all sorts of gifts and
sweetmeats for the pupils. Each pupil was
supplied with ticket marked with a num-
Der corresponding with an article on the
Christmas tree. When the number was
called Santa Claus presented the ar
ticle to the smiling recipient, amid
mirth and good humor. The Christmas
tree was large and most tastefully adorned
and decorated. The drawing and distribu-
ton Of the gifts occupied very pleasant
and delightful hour The ticket No. 1872
was fully appreciated, and Mr.. Nelson is
assured that the chicken" drawn is in.
tensely Democratic, and if he never crows
in triumph he shall never cover in defeat
We have seldom passed a more agreeable
hour than in this Sabbath school ovation.
Similar exercises were had at the McKen-
dree Church and at the Christian Church,
at which much joyousness and pleasure
| prevailed. These Christmas festivities
are for children morning'milestones in the
Journey of life, TO which they look back in
after years with precious and happy memo

days, when we witness the gleesome
festivities of the children.

turkey, rare meats, pastries, and variety
of delicacies. The City Hotel and the
