E Christmas was as lively as
usual. Fire crackers, pistols, guns
and whisky were marked incidents Of
the day. Though there was some
boisterousness, yet fun and good hu-
NOR predominated, and no serious
complaints were made by the police.
Christmas eve had its usual share of
balls and parties. At ALEsHIRE's Hall
and at WE1BERT's, the young people
had good time, enjoying the music
and the dance until an early hour
Christmas morning. The former was
Fancy Dress party, and was charac-
terized by excellent order and man
agement. Both we're well attended,
! and orderly conducted.

what il called first-class steamers, but
we think this equaled any We have ever

long Experience as q captain, feel safe
under his care. The frst Clerk. Mr..
j. l.. Newsom, we find perfect gentle
man. and will say his social qualities
please all who meet him. When he
comes into the ladies' cabin it is not
with. a formal bow, but with hearty
shake of the hand, and cordiality which
make every one feel at home. OF Mr.;

everything in their power, to make The

The steward, Mr.. Sam. Morgan, for

up the best meals we have ever sat

We have heard him spoken Of as one of

steward on the river, so far as we know.
We visited the pilot house, and found
the pilots very attentive to their bust

We must not forget to mention Smi

On opening The store in the morning,
i Rasslound= that threes anger@holes
had been bored around the lock OF the
back door of the house, and upon fur
ther examination, traces of fire were
discovered under the floor. Whether
an attempt was made to plunder the
store, and cover up the robbery by de-
stroying the building, or simply TO
gain an en- trance from beneath, is a
mystery. Two or three fellows were

late that night, and we advise them TO
leave off their attempts to rob and
burn down their neighbor's property.

w The following lines, written as
a tribute of Affection" to JENNIE
FORD, lately deceased, by one of her
young companions, are worthy of pub
lication, and we insert them with pleas
ure:
05er the river, one stormy night,
The angel of Death did carry her,
Through the deep and the dark to the distant
Light,
That waited there to welcome her.
She'll never return, but we want her not,
She's where the weary are at rest,
But strive so to live when the trnmp shall
sound,
You may share with her the blessed lot
Free from all pain and care and Ill,
At last by the Almighty's will
Gathered with angels at Jesus side,
To sing his praise at Christmas-tide.

R Tbs\friends Of Rev. F. S. DAVIS

R The friends Of Rev. F. S. DAVIS,
pastor of the NJ. E. Church, surprised
him, last Wednesday evening, by call
ing at his residence in large numbers,
and bringing with them substantial ev-
licences of their love and respect for
him as man and teacher. The re-

goods, to the amount of about S115.
1t was very pleasant occasion, and
was worthy of both the givers and the
