indeed, chiefly for the following rea-
sons: Such gatherings bring together
a great proportion of all the stock in the
county. The several grades may thus
be seen and compared, and their relative
merit determined. \ fair affords a
convenient opportunity for the exchange
Of seed grain, so necessary for the pres
ervation Of quality and vigor. They
bring into direct and open competition,
both as to price and quality, every va
riety of farm machinery, offering a
valuable opportunity for making selec-

the other day. Seated upon
board across the box was the figure of
man. He was evidently about half
full Of whisky-at least there was room
enough in him for what there was, to
" swash round" considerably, for, when
the sleigh started, the liquor, like
water in a tub, tried to "slop over"
which resulted in placing the figure
upon his back in the bottom of the
box. A large, and intclligent-looking
dog, seeing the situation, jumped into
the sleigh, and, by paving and carcss-
ing, and, finally, by lifting, sought to
replace his master upon the seat. Fail
ing in this, he seated himself upon the
corpus and howled dismally, until he
attracted the attention Of host of ca
nine sympathisers, who attested their
interest in the case, by joining in
vigorous chorus. This, Of course,
brought out the community, and the
situation Of the unfortunate was finally
discovered. He was taken in charge by
a half dozen, but little less intoxicated
than himself, who proceeded to make
their exit from the town under the most
favorable circumstances for death by
freezing.
CHRISTMAS was made the occasion
Of great festival in Austin. On Sat-
urday evening, the Presbyterian Socie
y had tree" in their Church. 1t
vas tastily decorated, and many valua-
Die gifts were scattered among its
branches.
On Monday evening, there were at
east five Christmas Trees" The
Baptist people had very fine one in
their Church. 1t was, perhaps, the
largest single tree furnished for the oc-
casion. The House was crowded with
delighted participants, and everything
was " merry"
The Congregational Society convened
their Sabbath School at their Church.
and made the 'Christlnas Tree" a
source of infinite pleasure to the " little
folk" to whom were distributed pro-
fusion Of gifts which both delight and
improve the minds of children.
The Methodist friends had beauti-
ful affair at their new place of worship.
1t consisted Of three trees, 80 arranged
IS to torn gothic spire. Thu VIII Gle
was brilliantly Illuminated, and the va
rious embellishments were so arranged
As to produce very pleasing effect.
The Universalist Society met in the
Court House Hall, and prepared a
beautiful evergreen pyramid, from the
angles Of which we're pendant variety
IF rich and beautiful gifts. A peculiar
feature Of this gathering was the dis
;ribution of a most palatable lunch,"
If which all were invited to partake-
, most substantial and beautiful illus
ration of the faith which embraces all
mankind in the ultimate gracious pur-
poses Of che Gospel scheme.
The Episcopal and the Catholic
Church also had each its ''festal throng."
md in taste and richness, these we're
aot second to any of which We have
'poken.
A commendable endeavor to unite
pleasure with improvement has char
acterized each effort. No one seems to
nave tried to ercel any other. All
has been harmonious, and none but
pleasant recollections linger to tell of
Merry Christmas" A. D. 1871.
