TO the Benevolent Citizens of EIkton and
its Vicinity.

You will doubtless have observed in both
the town papers-WHIG and Democrat
notice i'll which the names of the under
signed are given as a committee to aid in,
and to make arrangements for, the enter
tainment of Select Readings. which the
Rev. Geo. II. BriStor has kindly consented
to give for the benefit of the poor, at the
Hall, on New Year night, 1877.
At the request of the young gentlemen
who have projected the proposed entertain
ment we have consented to act as such
committee, and we now ask of the citizens
of Elkton and its vicinity their cordial
cooperation.
The early opening and extreme severity
of the Winter admonishes us, that some
such effort is necessary, if we would relieve
a number of poor families from much suf-
fering and distress.
Although We have consented to act as a
committee to aid in. and receive the pro-
ceeds of, the proposed entertainment. we
are not willing to assume the responsibility
of disbursing the money that may be real
lied.
We therefore, respectfully ask meeting
of ali such of our fellow citizens as may
approve of, and are willing to aid in, the
matter, to be held at the office of the 1nSur-
ance Company, on the evening of Tuesday,
the End of January next, at half past seven
o'clock, to which we can report the amount
of the proceeds, and at which some per
manent organization may be formed to
which the administration and disbursement
of the money may be intrusted; and
through which such further effort as may
be deemed advisable may be made, either
by individual subscriptions or other and
further entertainments, or both. For how
ever literally the entertainment of New
Years night may be patroniZed we are
we'll convinced there will be ample need of
increased means of relief during the pres
ent severe Winter.
We would not willingly engage in any
enterprise. the effect of which will be to
create class of professional paupers in
our midst We do not believe such result
to be the necessary consequence of public
effort for the relief of the needy. We are
confident that by proper organization and
.judicous management. the funds raised
may be protected against abuse, and many
worthy people relieved, who may otherwise
suffer in secret. F. A. ELLIS,

SLEIGHING.

SLEIGHING.
Our people continue to use the good
sleighing, the younger portion having socia-
bles and surprise parties during the week;
and, although times are hard and money
scarce, all seem to enjoy themselves
Horses seem to partake of the spirit of
their drivers. and move along at "A rapid
rate. On Monday night, a horse hitched
to a sleigh, with couple of young ladies
and gentlemen, came down the street faster
than the occupants desired, and one of the
gentlemen Jumped out. followed by his lady
companion. The others were permitted to
roll out as the sleigh upset, on Messrs.
Tome & Co s wharf. Tuesday night, two
horses, hitched to single sleighs, ran off.
One upset near Mr.. Backs mill, and the
young gentlemen gathered themselves up
with skinned noses and slight bruises
The other horse did no damage.
THE CHRISTMAS TREE
at the NJ. +. Church, December 22nd, was
grand success. The committee, with the
ladies and gentlemen who assisted them,
deserve great credit for the tasteful manner
in which the tree was decorated and the
amply supply of confectioneries, oranges,
nuts and raisins. Four hundred packages
were distributed to the school and the
friends present. Some of the children not
being able to be present received theirs on
Monday. The Sabbath school room was
filled with children and their friends, and
it made the hearts of all rejoice to see the
little ones express their delight, by the
sparkle of the eye and the pleasure depicted
in their countenanceS.
PIGEON SHOOTING.
Some Of our citizens engaged in the
doubtful pleasure of pigeon shooting on
the ice, Christmas day, but with very poor
success. because of the peculiar manner IN
which the trap was placed. More than
one half of the pigeons flew to the Cecil
and Hartford shores.

an excellent reputation to draw Il crowd.
STORING ICE.
On "Wednesday, some of the machinery
at Messrs. I. }. Cochran X Co. S ice house,
at Lapidum, broke, and delayed them one
day in the storage of ice. This firm is
putting about 900 tons of ice in "A day,

twenty inches thick, but generally from
thirteen to fifteen inches.

CHRIsTMAs.-Our Centennial CHI istmas
passed quietly, and, we trust, to all Joy
ously. Our people were, by force of cir
cumstances, compelled to seek enjoyment
within doors, as without it Was cold and
cherries, and the streets almost impossible
for pedestrians in consequence of the ice.
The hard times, political strife, and all
other disturbing causes, seemed to be for
the time forgotten. Notably was the evil
dence of hard times missing. A decided
charge was made upon our toy and confec-
tionery stores, and several of them ran
their stock down closer than ever before.
Service was held in Trinity protestant
EpiscopaD Church. which was peasingly
decorated for the occasion, at halfpast
eleven, on Christmas eve, and also on
Christmas morning. In the NJ. f. Church,
the usual early morning service Is o clock
was the only one held. No service in the
Presbyterian Church. The colored people
revived one of their ancient customs, on
this occasion, and marched around town
just before daylight, singing one of their
characteristic melodies. Kris Kingle came
promptly on time, making happy the hearts
of the little folks.

FROZEN BITS FOR HORSES MOUTHS
The Boston Herald says: "Let any one
who has the care of horse these cold.
frosty mornings, deliberately grasp in his
hand piece of iron; indeed, let him touch
TO it the tip of his tongue, and then let him
thrust the bit into the mouth of his horse,
if he has the heart to do it. The horse is
an animal of nervous organization. His
mouth is formed of delicate glands and
tissues. The temperature of the blood is
the same as in the human being, and, as in
man, the mouth is the warmest part of the
body. Imagine, we repeat, the irritation
that would be caused the human, and con
slider that, if not to the same degree, still
the suffering to the animal is very great.
And it is not a momentary pain. Food is
eaten with difficulty, and the irritation
repeated day after day causes loss of appe-
lite and loss of strength. Many a horse
has become worthless from no other cause
than this. Before India rubber bits were
to be had |, myself, used a bit covered with
leather, and on no account would have dis
pensed with it in freezing weather.
