TASEYTowS lTEMs.-Since the advent OF
sleighing the members of the Y. NJ. S. Club,
Of this place, have been making things quite
lively. On Christmas day the Amateur
Sports had pigeon shooting match in Mr..
g. W. Clsbaugh's field, adjoining town, their
remarkable skill in handling the fowling piece
and their very accurate shooting called forth
continuous applause from the large number
present. The contestants having grounded
ffty-four out of sixty birds.
A few evenings since they astonished the
natives by holding Grand Masked Ball at
W. Ii. Crouse's Union Hotel, being the first
ever held in this ancient burg, it naturally
drew forth large concourse Of spectators,
both old and young, and all seemed to enjoy
it very much. The oddity of the costumes
and characters causing great merriment. At
II o'clock, all unmasked, aud were ushered
into the spacious dining hall of the hotel,
where sumptuous and substantial refreshments
were awaiting them. Shortly after all were
again engaged in Gripping the light fantastic
toe" At 4.l5 a. m. amid the jingling Of
bells and three cheers for host and hostess,
all departed for home, to long remember the
pleasant night.
The same evening the worthy proprietor of
the Elliot House was favored with the presence
Of quite a respectable sleighing party from
our sister town, Emmittsburg, and if we can
Judge from appearances, we would say they
too enjoyed themselves.

School ExAMIsArI0S.-There was an ex.
animation held at the school Of Mr.. George
Batson, at Brick Meeting House, on Friday,
December 2Sd, 1876. II was well conducted
and reflected much credit upon the teacher.
The ready responses Of the pupils to the va
rious questions given, and the great interest
manifested by them in their work, is very
complimentary to the skill Of Mr.. Batson.
The examination in grammar and map draw
ing was particularly eommendable. The pu-
pills showed their appreciation for their teacher
by very nice present.

Of all patterns, from the handsome swan-hke
cutter aud the elegant gilded iour'in-hAnd,
down TO the goods.box jumper, drawn by
barebones mules. All the merry slelghers
we're masked, every grotesque device lmagi,
nable was resorted TO TO provoke laughter, and
fun and frolie ruled the hour. The process,
sion started at 8 O'Clock from the foot OF
Capital Hill and moved down the Avenue.
Thousands upon thousands Of spectators lined
the side walks. The carnival Bas repeated
on Friday afternoon.
Old Menus and his merry men,
With hearts as light as air,
Make sadness vanish from the scene
Whenever they appear.
Then let us Menus initiate,
And, casting off all care,
Enjoy a sleigh, as well we may,
II we but careless are.
1t has been suggested that grand sleighinG
carnival be held in Westminster, should The
snow continue, in which everybody who car
raise sleigh, sled, or jumper, shall partici
pate. What say our Westminster men who
are so fond of sleighing?

ST. PAUL, Alinn., Jan. l3.-Mr Wilkinson in
troduccd in the State Senate resolution to-day
instructing the Judiciary Committee to inquire
into the eligibility Off Minnesota Presidential
Electors, with power to send for persons and
papers. Notice Of debate being given, the reso-
luton goes over to next week. It is based upon
tha allegation that 4. 4. Finscth, one Of the
Electors who voted for Hayes, also State Sen
ator from Goodhue County, and many Sue
cessiye years in various Offices, being i Scandi-
nayian by birth, was never naturalizel, and
William Lee, Chairman OF tho Democratic State
Committee, few days ago called upon Fin
seth, and told him he had instituted
4 careful examination Of the records in
Gootlhue County; also in Dane and
Rock Counties, Wisconsin, where Finseth for
mer]y resided, and was unable to find any record
OF his naturalization. Finseth told Lee lie came
to this country with his father, knute Knud-
sou, twenty-three years ago, when he Finseth>
was II years old. First lived in Dane County,
Wisconsin, one year; then two years in Rock
County, whence thev removed to Goodhuc
out naturalization papers; but was not certain.
II he did, does not know whether they were
first or second papers. Changed his name to
Finseth after he '1Ame to Goodhue County.
Senator Wlliston, Of Redwing, and other
Democratic lawyers, have examined the Court
records, and allege there is nothing to show
that Fiuscth took out either first OF second
papers under either name. or that his father
ever took out any papers. The Democrats say
they have sure thing OF his case; that It is
Finseth's vote for Hayes and Wheeler must be
counted blank. Finscth has gone homo to look
up the records for himself
