BARBOUR COUNTY LETTER.

PHILIPPI, w. Va. December 18th.
correspondence of the Register.
Since our last, protrs2ted meetings
have played out" and holiday jolifcs-
tions are the order of the day and night.
On the evening of the oath anyone
could easily perceive that something was
about to trsnspire, or that they had some
thing of which all should be proud and
rejoice in memory thereof. The firing OF
guns, fire crackers, &c, denoted the near
approach OF that memorable event, the
advent of Christ. Some thsughtless
youths were very impolite and ungetle-
manly toward our obliging Sheriff, Mr..
Robinson, during the nights revelries.
Tho night with all the hldeous
yells of the boys, passed away, and
Christmas morning with all the
brilllancy ofthe first Christmas morning,
when the shepherds were made glad BY
the birth OF Him who is thus commemor-
sted in the Christmas day. This day
in Phillip was spent rs usual, IN iessLing
on the best her citizens could afford, and
as the MONDAY approached, the streets
were TO be seen almost deserted, the
people having retired TO their respective
homes to destroy the Turks(ey). As the
shadows OF the evening began TO over
shadow sll theIdebauchery and llcentious-
ness that TO great extent was seen on the
streets al day. had disappeared, the ring
of the church bell denoted that devlne
servlce,the most appropriate of sll, would
be held in the court house. The
town was unusually still and q
large audience assem- bled to hear Rev.
j. w. Boggess preach, who spoke
at length, with al energy COM
mendsble to the ministry, and though 8
young man, his sermsn was decked with
sublime emphasis that carried force
with it.
The Teachers Institute for Barbour
convened at the Court House on the
morning of the 10Th, with about eighty
teachers present. Lonzo hllworth,
County Superintendent Of Randolph
county, and ex-Superntendent Price, Of
the same county, have been present snd
participating IN the exercises. The
teachers are an intelligent looking set Of
ladies and gentlemen. The citizens OF
the town and surrounding county have
manifested 81 unusual interest IN Ihe In
s.itute, and large crowds OF spectators
hsve met with the teschers from time
TO time.
PRoF. RR MACMAEoS's
reading from select anthems, q! the court
house last night, was 8 grand success.
The audience wss large and the receipts
were good. His resding and personld-
ca!ions were very good, and the audi.
eucs, by their frequent applause, showed
their appreciation OF the exercises.
PRESIDENT THOMPSON,
of this county, is posted for free lee
ture st the court house, on the evening
of the 29th. The State pays President
Thompson salary, and We see no res
son why his lectures should not be free.
