CHRIsTMAs.-This event will be ush-
cred in on next Monday by the blow
ing of tin trumpets, firing of fire crack
ers and rocking of china dolls among
the juvenile fratrrnity, and with per-
haps corresponding amount of fuss
and boisteroesness among the adult
bipeds. Christmas is of remote origin,
having ''got its start away back at
Bethlemem of Jndea about the begin
ing of the year A. d. l, since which
time it has managed to put in an ap-
pearance on or about the 25th of De-
cember of each recurring year. It was
brought to America in 1902 by Christo-
pher Columbus, and therefore may be
ranked as one of the 'oldest inhabit-
ants.n 1t travels in company with u
hoary headed old fellow of jolly phiz
and sprightly mien, properly known
rs Santa Claus, Kris Kringle or Old
Sooty, whose headquarters have been
from time immemorial in the same es-
tablishment with McCormick's Alma
nae and the Chinook Dictionary. 1t
was at one time thought that Santa
Claus was base fraud and was only
n mother or father in disguise, but this
fallaeious proposition has long since
been exploded by the absolute and
incontrovertible testimony of more
than million truthful boys and girls
of the period, who have seen him in
their dreams as we'll as in his tangible
self in their waking hours. Christmas
is generally regarded as "big thing
on iee," but in this country that dis
tinguished appellation is hardly 'just
the cheese" because of the scarcity of
that article which the "big thing"
must be on. As Christmas will be
hard upon us in n day or two, and as
editors are expected to say some
thing nice to their readers about that
time, We will now let fly for that in
teresting epoch the highly original and
eminently appropriate wish to all our
patrons, without distinction of race,
color or previous good character-"A

\ MOUNTAIN HUME Wm. C. B., OF
Brownsville, writes US a long and inter
esting account of a recent hunt which
himself and Joseph and James Pearle,
and Others of that vicinity participate
ed in, but as we received il on the eve
of going to press we find sit impossible
to do more than give brief synopsis
of it through our columns. The hunt
was made on Mt. Hebron mot that hill
before Hebron up which Sampson car
ried the mighty gates of the city of the
Philistines) abouk 90 miles south OF
Brownsville, in the Cascades, and last
ed four days, at the expiration of which
time no less than eighteen deer were
strung upon ''butcher's gallows"
about the camp fire. The hunters had
left their wagon At the foot of the
mountain, and were forced to pack
their venison upon horses down TO il,
and after they got the eighteen deer
deposited in the wagon-loodng like
the slaughtered Hessians, heaps on
heaps-the champion Nimrods started
homewarj. When they came to the
vicinity of Brownsville they placed n
pair of antlers upon the head of each
of the four horses attached TO the wag-
on and also huge pair on a mule
which they had hitched in the "fifth-
lead" and upon which a gallant hunter
rode as a guide. Also, the bride OF
each animal was ornamentcd with a
deer-hide fiy-switcher and other tro-
phies Of the chase-and in this gro
tesqne manner the cavaicade made
their grand entry into town in a
sweeping trot, amid the barking of
dogs and the astonished gaze of the
startled Brownsvillians. This is the
most successful hunt and the jollies
one of which we have recently reeciv-
ed any knowledge.

A Glorious Change!!
THE GREAT WORLDS TONIC.
Plantation Bitters.

This wonderful vegetable re-
storative is the sheet-anch0r Of
the feeble and debiIitated. As q
tonic and cordial for the aged
and languid, it has no equal
among stOmachics. As a remedy
for the nervous weakness to
which women are especially sub
tect, it is superseding every other
stimulant. In all climates, tr0pi-
cal, temperate, or frisid, 1t acts
as a specific i'm every species Of
disorder which undermines the
bodily strength and breaks down
the animal spirits. For sale by
all druggists.

SHoT.-One day last week n man
shot himself In the hand In a Harris

reasons for believing that the bullet

he is said to have personal grudge.-
The bullet passed within few inches

MARRIED, DIVORCED AND MARRIED
AGAIN.-About two years ago Mr.. Ruel
Custar and Mrs. Lines, both of this
county, were married, and as their do
mestic relations failed to glide as
smoothly as both desired, they figured
in divorce suit at our Circuit Court
last month, and were duly separated by
the forms of law sin such cases made
and provided" But, after due refiec-
tion they found that they had made a
terrible mistake in thus severing the
nuptual cord which bound their lives
together, and, accordingly on Thursday
of last week, Immediately after paying
off the costs of the divorce suit
amounting to nearly 81, ,500-they pro-
cured the requisite license and were
again made "two souls with but a
SINGLE" and-so-forth. We trust that
the reunited pair, who now "know
how 1t is themselves" for the second
time, may never have occasion to re-
gret their second union.

On last Sunday evening tho snow be-

up with unvarying sameness for full

day evening at least a foot of snow
and cold weather to match. This Is the
heaviest snow which has fallen In this
valley for many years and one which
must cause much suffering among live

ic Order of this city will have their an
nual installation of officers and the at
tendant festival at their Hall; and
doubtless many other entertainments
to while away the Holiday nights will
be inaugurated as the season advances
A SHARP NIG.-Aibany boasts the
shrewdest little niger now living. His
ways that are dark and tricks that are
vain have already gained him State
reputation, and it only needs Bret
Harte or John Hay to immortalize him.
After the fire last Tuesday morning he
went into Settlemiers store and asked
George for bits worth of candy, and
after it was rolled up and given to him
he slyly laid down a bridIe-bit which
he had gathered up from the debris of
the fire, and scuded for the door, leaving
the astonished but good-natured Set
tlemier standing behind the counter
with countenance which betokened
"sold" in every lineament. That little
Niger will yet be a carpet-bag Con-
gresham.
MusIc.-Mr. Gray, publisher, San
Francisco, sends us selection of the
latest music, the "Viyian Medleyn and
the college Gallop'' among them.-
Mr. Gray is now regularly publishing
the productions of our home talent as
we'll as reprinting the most pleasing
European compositions. We shall
deem it a great favor to be regularly
supplied with Mr.. Gray's productions.
