A SINGULAR SENSATION RESULTING FROM
AMPUTATIoN. Mr.. Stevens, the man who was
accidentally shot in the knee at Centerville a
week or two back, and whose leg had to be
amputated, had, since the operation, felt a
peculiar twitching around the toes of his re-
manning foot-a sensation as if cord was
tightly tied around them. Monday last his
friends dug up the box in which the ampu-
tated leg had been buried, and on opening it,
they found long blade of grass intertwining
the toes; it was removed, and strange to say,
since then Mr.. Stevens has been entirely free
from the former uncomfortable feelings

TODAY.

Christmas day has again come around,
and once more are we allowed the pleasure
and privilege Of greeting our many readers
with the ever familiar sslutation of "Merry
Christmas" The crowded streets of our
city which have been witnessed for the last
few days indicate that Notwithstanding the
present state of winter affairs, our people
are prompted with the same desire and
fervor to spend money for the happiness of
the little folks this Christmas as in former
ones. But while we recognize the cheerful
and liberal manner in which Christmas is
prepared for, it should not be forgotten
that there are thousands to whom the
bountiful hand of Providence has not been
outstretched; whose Christmas days are an
infliction Of pain and not Of pleasure, and
who can only covet the riches in which the
city abounds. And while the rich sit at
their Christmas dinner tomorrow let them
not forget that they are surrounded by
poor pennies creatures who crave and de-
serve their prayerfLl attention.
Great preparations have been made for
the appropriate celebration of Christmas
day in the Protestant Episcopal Churches
in this diocese, and we are ableto lay before
our readers pretty complete programme
Of the musical part of the services in the
leading places of worship.
The Morning herald., 1875-12-25
CHRISTMAS SHADOWS.

The needles have dropped from her nerveles
hands,
AS she watches the dying eubers glow,
ror out from the broad old chimney place
| Come ghostly shadows of ''long ago.
Shadows that carry her back again
To the time of her childhood's artless JOY
Shadows that show her tiny row
Of stockings awaiting the Christmas toy
Shadows that show her the faces loved
Of MANY half-forgotten friend:
And the Christmas-eve it is passing by,
While Past and Present in shadows blend
Alone in the dear old homestead now,
With only the shadows Of "Auld Lang
Syne,"
The clock is ticking the moments on,
While the tears in her aged eyes still
shine.
If only from out the silent world
The world of shadows which mock her
One might return to his vacant chair,
To sit with her in the flre-light's glow!
If only Was that white, white hand
That seemed to beckon her out of the
glCom?
Or was it the embers' last bright flash
That startled the shadows round the roomo
The Christmas-eve it has passed at length;
A glorlousda from the night is born;
Tho shadows are gone from earth away,
And the bells are ringing for Christmas
morn.
But ah! by the broad old chimney place
The angel Of death keeps watch alone,
For straight the Christ-child's beckoning
arms
A longing spirit hath gladly flown.
