Precisely at twelve o'clock the Centen- nial, or year of Jnbilee,was ushered in by the ringing of the bells of all the churches. The first impression was that some build ing was on fire. and very soon there came rushing into the street persons residing a little way from the center; some on horse batk and some in wagons. One man only had seen the fire, who jumped on his horse as quickly as possible and made all haste to be on hand and ready for any emergency. 'e ]" asa '' '' 4-'A ' '' '- 'sS
 The whistling of the engine at Lake, vile or Millerton. or both, the firing of guns and various other noises in various other directions were distinctly heard.
 A church bell supposed to Dc. at iDo- yer Plains was heard in the distance peal ing forth in solemn sounds. Yet no fire was to be seen and none has yet been heard from.
 To-day has been one, of the most pleasant days we have in any season of the year. The thermometer has been re- ported in various localities from GA to 77 Q, and the frost is fast coming out of the ground. a7' '' o. P. Q.

Washington.

Tuesday evening, Dec. 28th, merry party of young people, with their papas and mammas, gathered at the residence of Mir. Frank Hollister to assist Tn disposing of some oysters procured for the occasion. In spite of the gloomy clouds, the pros pectl of the good things in store lured many unaccustomed to join in such fes- tivities. to venture over the slippery roads, and to take part in the evenings enjoyment. Conversation, with vocal and instrumental music, occupied the early part of the evening; the singing was unu- sually fine, especially the tenor by John. B. Hollister. About 10 o'clock MT. H. led the way to the bountifully spread table. and all did full justice to the tempting viands. 4 ..4 a.#... s4I4. 3s
 After supper our host led tue dance, and all joined so heartily in that exercise that it necessitated second, and in some eases third journey to the supper table. It is impossible to tell when the party would have returned to their homes, had it not been forithe ''steady habits" of the young people who reminded bhe old folks of the lateness of the hour and that it was advisable to return home in order to keep up the W ell established reputation of the Washingtonians. .........f. ........s.
 Many thanks are due E. c. Whitehead for his perseverance in getting out the company. also to Mr. H. and family, who certainly understand ''the art of entertain ing people in their own house."
