our citizens, among these was that of L.

fifteen years of age, and number of the
young men. Mrs. LOOMS had kindly
allowed most of the youngsters to hang
on tho tree various presents for their
young friends, both male and female, all
OF them being very appropriate and
tasty. The boys must have heen saving
up their spare change for long time as
some of the presents amounted to con-
siderable. Mr.. and Mrs. Loomis during
the evening entertained the young folks
and the invited guests to a handsome
collation., which was hugely enjoyed by
all present, the party breaking up at
late hour. On Christmas Day the little
folks of the neighborhood were enter

GRAND JURY AND LICENSE. The Grand
Jury, in their report presented to the
Court on Saturday last commented on
some of our business men being delin-
quent in not paying up licenses regu-
larly. The Sheriff calls, and sometimes
he finds the merchants short, 80 calls
again, and Is again put off. This was
the case regarding the last quarter. The
Court commenced summoning Jurors,
ETC., which occupied the attention of the
Sheriff, so he had no time to call again
on the merchants until the Grand Jury
made their report. Merchants and
business houses should recollect that
the Sheriff is not obliged to call on them
he does it merely as an accom- mediation;
it is their duty to call at the Court.
house and take out their licenses.

Phoebe on Sunday, the 23d inst, of
pneumonia. He leaves behind a wife
and very young child to mourn his loss.

by numerous friends and acquaintances,

the community in her affection as her
