Thinking an item or two from this
place would not be amiss, send you the
following:
On Friday last bachelor, living on
Mr.. Washburn's farm, two miles north
of here, named Hollingsworth, in at
tempting to get on colt, received kick
from the colt which broke his leg below
the knee. Mr.. VIM. Cochran, who hap
pened to be passing several hours after
the accident occurred, found and removed
him to shelter. He had crawled about
one hundred yards, and was considerably
chilled when found. He has been re-
moved from the farur. 8, town where he
can receive the needed attention.
We had Christmas Tree, under the
supervision of w. R. Bishop, teacher.
It was heavily loaded with about five
hundred presents, probably worth as
many dollars. Your regular correspond
ent got little bugle to blow on.
A hack load of young people return
ing home, in going down grade, got
out of the road and were upset, slightly
injuring the driver and hack.
All who desired went to w. r. Kinks
spacious building and partook of an
oyster supper, gotten up in good style by
J. Fleece and T. Smith and their wives.
After supper those inclined went into
the hall and tripped the light fantastic
toe" as long as they wished.
But as your regular correspondent
will perhaps give you the news in
fowery style, will desist. Xxx

LOCAL AND GENERAL NEWS.

CHRIsTMAs-As to the weather, was
rather a drearJ affair. Although the
"mist" was quite plentiful through the
day and the early part of the evening,
the various places of social gathering
were thronged with our people, who
seemed determined to enjoy themselves,
let the weather. BE ever SO rough. At
an early hour the NJ. E. Church was
crowded with the children and friends of
the Sabbath School, all anxious to know
who were to be the recipients of the
many gifts hung in tempting array on
the three Christmas Trees, which were
erected directly in front of the pulpit.
A large number of lighted wax candles
were placed among the boughs of the
trees, which, when lighted up, produced
most beautiful effect. Soon the dis
tribution of gifts commenced, and then
the POLARITY" opened-she blowing of
tin whistles, the beating of drums: and
the glad laugh yelling up from happy
little hearts was worth double the trouble
and cost to witness. The committee
of ladies and gentlemen to whom was
entrusted the care and trouble of erecting
and placing presents on the trees, done
their work well, and are deserving spe-
cial commendation for the manner in
which the gifts were distributed so that
none of the children attending the school
should go away without gift.
The sociable at Parrish Hall was very
largely attended. BY the union of the
Presbyterian and Congregational Sabbath
Schools it was thought more general and
better satisfaction could be given than if
the two schools erect Christmas Trees in
their respective churches; and the sue
cess of the sociable is evidence sufficient
of the correctness of this opinion. The
evening was spent in sociable intercourse,
vocal and instrumental music, and for the
special edifcation of the children, the
"magic lantern" was made to do duty.
And some of these pictures drought
down the house" muchly. The inner
man was not forgotten, and probably more
than twelve baskets filed with cakes,
fruit, candies, nuts, ETC., were distributed
among the happy throng. 1t was hap
PLY spent evening, and one which will
long remain green in the memory OF par
Elephants.
The ball at Houck & Myers new hotel
was also largely attended, and all we
have heard speak of it pronounce it an
agreeable party. The music is especially
mentioned as being superior to any we
have ever had at ball given in this city
1t couldn't be otherwise, as it was under
| the direction of Mr. j. Ell. Brenner, who,
although young in years, has proven him.

A Child,s Letter.

Mark Twain says the only letter he
received when abroad that really did him
much good, or told him of any news of
interest, was the following, from juve-
nile niece in st. Louis, and touched him
up in few passages; but he rather likes
it, and considers that children are your
only true letter writer's.
ST.. LOUIS, 1869.
Uncle Mark, if you was here / could
tell you about Moses in the bulrushes
again. l know it better now. Mr..
Snowberry has got his leg broke off
horse. He was riding it on Sunday.
Margaret, that's the maid, Margaret has
taken all the spittoons and slop- buckets
and old jugs out of your room, because
che says she don't think you are coming
back any more, you have been gone SO
long. Sissy McElroy's mother has got
another baby. She has them all the
time. 1t has little blue eyes like Mr..
Swimley that boards there, and looks
just like him. l have got doll; but
johnny Anderson pulled one of the legs
out. Miss Dusenberry was here yester-
day. l gave her your picture, but she
didn't want it. My cat has got more
kittens-oh! you cant think-twice as
many as Lotta Relden's And there's
one, such sweet little buff one with
short tail, and named it for you. All
Of them's got names now-Gen. Grant,
and Halleck, and Moses, and Margaret,
and Deuteronomy, and Captain Semmes,
and Exodus, and Leyiticus, and Horace
Greeley-all named but one, and am
saving it because the one l saved for you
has been sick all the time since, and l
reckon it'll die. ct appears to be mighty
rough on the short tailed kitten naming
| it for me. l wonder how the reserved
victim will stand IT'D Uncle Mark, |
de believe Hattie Caldwell likes you and
know she does think you are pretty,
because 1 heard her say nothing could
hurt your good looks-nothing at all.-
she said, even if you were to have the
small pox ever SO bad, you would be just
as good looking as you were before.
And ma says she's ever SO smart (yery)

Gentlemen, Allow noe, through the
columns tef your very valuable paper, to
make the following suggestion to the Legis-
lature of our own State when we have
one) and to allswhom it may concern Of the
pronsietysef passing some Law in regard to
kerosene oil and other burning fluids. In
my humble opinion would suggest that an
Inspector, who should be !. practical
chemist, be appointed, whose duty it should
bcfo fest ali oils offered for sale or ex-
hibited for any purpose, and if by apply
ing the usual tests be should find these oils
to contain gasoline, benzine, or other ex-
plosiSe commodities, they should be at once
condemned and destroyed as unfit for use.
By, this means the consuming public
would have some protection to lite and
limb. Kerosene oil has become almost o
necessity where gas cannot be had, and
pure article of oil (1l0 degrees. fre-proof, }
is not explosive. These mixtures are gene
rally put up by unpriucipled persons on
account Of their cheapnesa, and are then
retailed by small dealers because they can
purchase this article for few cents per
gallon less, thus jeopardizing the lives OF
their, unfortunate customers. All persons
using this oil should be particular of whom
they purchase their supplies, and not pur-
chase Of any but in whom they have the
utmost confidence, and who are reliable
dealers. / am, most respectfully yours,
