BELLS Run, Dec. 80. 1S7i

BELL Run, Dec. 30, 1875.
Permit us, through the columns of
your paper, to say something as to
how Christmas was celebrated at this
place. On Christmas Eve a large
crowd of people from the surround
ing country gathered at the Bells
Run schoolhouse, to see a splendid
Christmas tree, that was presented to
the school and public. The house
was well decorated and the tree was
brightly illuminated with candles.
The exercises commenced with some
of the best choir singing that ever
we have heard. The Mourytown
German Silver Cornet Band dis
coursed some excellent music. The
gentlemen who compose this band are
gentlemen indeed, and well deserve
the patronage of the people. It is
led by Prof. Julius S. Galliet, who
has the Mourytown school in charge.
Prof. W. G. Miller, the experienc-
ed and successful teacher who has the
Bells Run school in charge, next ap-
peared and delivered q very eloquent
address, at the close of which the
Band played again.
The audience was next addressed
by the Rev. Chas. Brouillette and
Rev. Chas. Gueman.
The Christmas tree was heavily
loaded with presents, some of which
were funny and some of much value.
1t took an hour and half to distrib-
ute the presents among the people,
the Band playing at intervals.
The whole affair was we'll conduct
ed by Mr.. Miller, and very good or
der preserved. After the tree was
stripped the people dispersed and
returned to their homes, well pleased
with the music and good speaking
they had heard, and also delighted
with the many gifts they had received

A great amount of powder has been
burnt, during the holidays, but less
attention is paid to them now than
formerly.
The season has been q hard one,
and farmers are getting along with
as little hired help as possible; and
those who depend upon their daily
labor, find it hard to get along.
Some of the dishonest ones have re-
sorted to stealing. Corn is being ta-
ken out of the fields, and out of the
cribs, too, for what / know.
A few ''tramps7 have passed
through this part of the country.
Our enterprising millers have been
laying in an extensive supply of wood,
and have furnished employment for
a good many, in chopping wood, and
giving them some of the "staff of life
in return.
Our hogs are all sold. The high
est price paid was $3.50 per hundred.
Not enough corn was produced in
this vicinity to supply the home de-
mand. A considerable amount has
been brought in from other parts of
the country, costing about so cts. per
bushel.
Very warm weather, and great
deal of rain. The contrast between
this and last holiday week is very
striking.
Mr.. John W. Burns, Agent for the
Singer Sewing Machines, drove into
Flat Run on Friday, Dec. "a, and the
stream being much swollen, washed
him down, drowning one Of his mules,
demolishing his wagon, and washing
away his smaller machine fixtures,
such as needles &c. He also lost his
hat and some clothing.
George E. Huggins, one of our
"boys," is travelling this winter, to see
the country in which we live.

Our community is all excited over
the mysterious disappearance of ou,
old friend Nathan CLANCY, a man in
whom the people had implicit conf
dence. His liabilities will probably
reach seven thousand dollars. A
few of his friends are still pleading
his cause, and believe he will yet re-
turn and make everything right. We
will wait with patience to see, and
then report.
lam glad the two thieves that have
been roaming over our country have
been caught. We could spare few
more from the same locality.
In spite of the difficulties we have
had to encounter, improvements are
going right along. In addition to
our Township House and Grange
Hall, we have a respectable Drug
store, conducted by brother Wilkin
and DR.. S. F. CLANCY.

of the new Gaange Hall, which will
take place on Friday, the 14th of the

For fortnight past expectation
has been on tip-toe here, in regard
to the anticipated theological discus
sion between Rev. J. W. Klise, of the
Christian Union Church, and Rev. P.
w. Schick, of the Christian or Cam
pbellite Church.
On Monday, Dec. 20, they met and
arranged the preliminaries, and
agreed to discuss the following prop
ositions, viz:
1. That feeling (moral conscious
ness) is the only evidence of the crea-
lures acceptance with God. Klise
affirms, Schick denies.
2. That the Church with which P.
W. Schick is identified is the Church
of Christ. Schick affirms, Klise de-
nies.
8. That sprinkling or pouring is
Christian baptism. Klise afirms,
Schick denies.
On Monday night, Dec 20, the dis
cussion was opened on the first prop
osition. Speeches were made alter
nately and limited to 80 minutes each.
The house was crowded and scores
could not find room. On Tuesday
evening the debate on first prposi-
ton closed. On Thuarday morning,
Dec. %, the discussion began on I'd
proposition, the people still turning
out en- masse. On Friday evening,
Rev. J. ". Klise returned to Hills
boro, the discussion of the Sd propo-
sition being postponed until
Wednesday, Dec. 20, at 10 o'clock A.
NJ.
The people are divided in opin-
ion as to the ability of the parties
and as to who has been successful
thus far in the contest. They (the
people, are Influenced by their pre-
viously formed opinions of the truth
or falsity of the propositions them
selves. In cases of this kind ''the
wish is father to the thought gen
orally. I Iconsider both parties are
acquitting themselves with credit.
On the evening of Dec. 23d an
entertainment was given at the ME.
Church here under the auspices of
the L o. o. F. consisting OF lectures,
recitations &c. for the benefit of
Melville Robinson, Esq. who is low
with consumption, and in very limit
ed circumstances. There was a full

peo ana SIX horSeS stolen
Claude Duvall and Dick Turpin
have come to light again. George
Swimm and John Davidson have
long been noted characters in this
part of the county. From early boy.
hood their fingers have been wonder
fully inclined to stick to things not
always their own. But not content
with pilfering upon a small scale,
they aspired to deeds of greater dar-
ing. Accordingly, on last Monday
night, Dec. 9th, they sailed forth
from the shades of Danville, and tax,
ing the Pricetown pike, they wend.
ed their way to Harwood chapel,
where they helped themselves to a
horse from the stable of Mr.. O.
Pulse. From thence they proceeded
to Mrs. Winder's, Qate Mrs. Duncan
sony two miles north of Buford,
where they 6orro,oed another horse.
They next called upon uncle Dan.
White, one-fourth of a mile from
town, and purloined from his barn
an anger and saddle.
Theirnext move was upon the store
of A. T. Moon & Co., of this place,
entering it through rear window by
means of uncle Dams auger. Once
in the store they proceeded to fit
themselves out with a full suit of
clothes each, besides helping them
selves to various fancy articles from
the showcase. They also secured
about 500 in money, mostly small
change, $40 of which belonged to
the P. o.
Leaving Buford, they proceeded
to Bethel, Clermont county, passing
through Mt. Oreb, Brown county,
just at 3 o'clock. Near New Hope
they doffed their old "duds" and
donned their new stolen apparel, leav-
ing the old clothes lying beside the
road. Near Bethel they abandoned
their horses and footed it to that
place, where they arrived about six
o'clock, just in time to take the stage
to Cincinnati. On the way down to
the city they got out upon the top of
the stage and divided their stolen
money. Arrived at the city they
6,mmed around till Wednesday
morning, when they must have taken
train on the N. & c. R. R., as their
next appearance was at Fairview,
where they took two horses from the
stable of Mr.. Roush, and then pro-.
ceeding to Danville, robbed Alex.
Sanderson's store of $40 in money
and a watch. Then s'oapping horses
with DR.. Chapman and Mr.. Leinin-
ger, they took the Rricetown pike
again, which they followed to its ter
minus, thence to near Chasetown,
Brown county, where they abandon
ed the horses and took to the woods,
and up to this time they are still at
large, SO far as we know. We are
confident that they will be captured
soon, as kilograms have been sent to
all points, and the news scattered
broadcast through the papers.

New Lexington,

improvements have been the watch
word with the most of our citizens
the past season.
81. W. and E. Rayburn have ad-
ded considerable improvements to
their carriage and blacksmith shops,
and John S. Wright has also repair
ed his wagon shop. The citizens
have all, with one accord, obeyed the
ordinance of the "City Dads" and
nearly completed the making and re-
pairing of pavements, which is truly
blessing to the place, for we can
now go from house to house in our
village without encountering much
of that most dreadful of all abomina-
tions, mud.
Parties who wish to locate in de-
sirable community, with frst-rate
privileges for attending church and
school, and live with comfort, away
from the noise and turmoil of cities
and the larger towns, can find no
better location than New Lexington.
Good and desirable building lots can
be purchased at present just outside
of the corporation. Mr.. Abs. Adams
is disposing of good building lots at
very reasonable figures in that beau
tiful grove between the town and the
r. r. station, within three hours
ride of Cincinnati A more pleasant
location for building suburban resi-
dences cannot be found in the coun-
try.
We had on Christmas eve, very
enjoyable Literary Entertainment,
connected''with our school, which can
not be surpassed, we think, by any
of our neighboring schools. Orig
inal orations were delivered by few
os the pupils, as follows: Fl. F. Hix-
son, on the 'Duty of American Citi-
zens;" Jesse Davis, ''Our Educational
system" Sallie Wright, on ''Woman,
Mans Equal" Lydia Davis, on "The
Present Age;" and Mollie V. Dillon
on 'The Old and the New" We
cannot be so partial as to make any
invidious distinctions between them;
they all reflected credit on themselves
and the school.
Master Harry Pugsley, of Hills
boro, made quite a pretty little speech,
in which he touchingly alluded to his
former relations to the school.
We must announce new feature
in connection with our improvements
in town. Mr.. D. Bailey, of Penn
Township, has opened, for the bene-
fit of all, a Circulating Library. He
is furnishing any of his books from
his large and valuable library, at the
reasonable charge of 10 cts. each per
week, and has offered as premium,
a splendid Five Dollar book, Whit
tiers "Mabel Martin" to the person
who reads the greatest number of
books between Jan. 1st, 1876, and
Jan. 1st, 1877. Who will be the
lucky party? Echo answers "who"?

ILLNESS of JUDGE GRAY.-We regret
to learn by the following, from the
Chillicothe Gazette, of last week,
that there is but little hope for
Judge Gray's recovery:
Mr.. John I. Throckmorton bad oc-
casion last week to make a visit to
Washington c. 81. and while there
called upon Judge Gray. He is daily
growing more feeble, and has at last
abandoned all hope for his own re-
covery. Heretofore he has been
hopeful, and has predicted that he
would yet recover despite the proph-
ecies of his physicians. He sent his
regards to the members of the Ross
county bar and other friends

hood. 1t will not be often that the
Executive Committee will be able to
offer such an array of talent to their
friends.
Money matters seem to be very
close, notwithstanding the liberal
holiday outlays. I think that econ
omy might be introduced in that item
of expenditure.
