Rg~ CHRISTMAS GIrTs.-"Christmas

Ha~ CHRISTMAS GrTs.-"Christmas
is coming" and the practice of making
presents that day is said to have origi-
mated in example of wise men Of the
East, who brought their offerings tothe
manager at Bethlehem, and laid them at
the feet Of the infant Saviour. Since
then, Christmas gifts have been univer-
sal throughout Chrstcndom, and many
persons feel that they have notproperly
discharged their duty unless they be-
stow something among friends and IA
vorites. Those who can afford it usu-
allv do, and this holiday never passes
around without an interchange of tokens
Of good feelings and kindness in almost
every neighborhood. Be the gift ever
so small, and itrinsically ever so value
less, it is esteemed as a special favor.
The anxiety with which our children
look forward to the approach Of this
popular holiday, is an indication of the
great interest they feel in the receipt Of
those gifts, and their little hearts are
made light and tiIled with gladness
whenever they ars made the objects
of some special donation. The practice
of decorating our churches with ever
green on Christmas, originated with the
ancient Druids, who wore garlands of
ivy and misletoe on that day, and since
their time it has been religiously kept up
by several denominations Of Christians.

gentlemanly and efficient Treasurer Of
the Shenandoah Valley Railroad Com
pany has paid out in this county within
the last few days we understand, about
$4,000, in settlement Of the right OF

we learn, settles all damages through
the county, with the exception oftwo or
three cases.
The Page Courier says:--
We learn from one of the commits
missioners appointed to assess the land
damages on the line of the 5. Y. Il. r.,
between this place and Milford, dis
lance of l3 miles, that they have com
pleted the work assigned them, and that
the right Of way tor the above distance
will not cost the Company $4,000. We
believe their awards have been very sat

cases.

MARROW EscAPE.-On Tuesday last
at Weyerton Mr. Garrett, the postmaster
at that place, met with an accident which
for narrowness of escape from serious
injury, if not death, is equal to anything
of the kind that has come TO our kpowl-
edge for a long time. He was crossing
the track of the Main Stem OF the Is. d:
o. r. r. with box on his shoulder ard
was watching an incoming train on the
Washington County Railroad, when a
freight train which be had not noticed
came up behind him, the cowcatcher
striking his legs and throwing him back
upon the bars which he instinctirely
grasped, and clinging thereto, saved
himself, although his legs were hanging
down in front and dragging upon the
ground. The train slowed up when the
fortunate man jumped off and walked
over to his store, where ne tumbled into
bed and in two minutes was the worst
scared man we have seen for some time.
1t certainly was one Of the most mlrac-
ulous escapes on record. -AasTstO'cn

A NOVEL WEDDING.-A wedding
transpired in Clermont, Ohio, on Tues
dav last of rather sensational charac-
ter. Rev. II. N. Keck united in holy
wedlock Mr.. Il. A. Matthews and Mrs.
Sarah f. Shockley, in two horse car
riagc, on Market street, III front OF the
public buildings. The bridegroom III
formed the officiating minister that they
had . long distance to go, and 1t was ne
cessary 10 be expeditions.
The minister then suggested that the
wedding take place in the carriage, and
he then set his basket on the pavement,
while Mr.. NJ. united the hltching- strap
and got in, so that he might be tied
while the horses We're Embossed. The
parties were married in ngposturc
because the carriage was too low to
stand up in; then they were little
cramped for room by the presence of
three bright-eyed children.
The passers-by scarcely gave the car
rage or thcminister momentary glance
thinking, of course that they were friends
who had met and were conversing to-
gethcr in quiet way. Some suspicion
might, it is true, have been awakened
had they observed that the gentleman
was grasping the hand ofthe lady, and
they were both looking rather pensiycly
upon the minister in The street Soon
after the ceremony was over the prahc-
ing stecds swept through the town, bear
ing with them, it is to be hoped,a happy
and loving pair
