AT the opening Of the public schools Of this
place in September, a literary society was
organized consisting of the pupils of the two
schools. II is styled the Excelsior Literary
Society Of Glover Hill Academy, and at
present consists Of 81 members who will give
an entertainment on the night Of Wednesday,
18th instant, at the Mechanics Hall. The
proceeds will be used to purchase bell for
the new school house. The programme will
consist Of music, declarations, rehearsals,
dialogues, short scenes, tableaux, original
compositions, prose aud poetry readings
Several Of the pieces are new, having been
composed by the school. The society re-

Up to the present time lllth instant, } we
have had very few indications of the approach
of Christmas, either from the weather or other
sources. Occasionally we hear the words
masquerades and cunning, or some little girl
ventures to say christmas tree. We think
our young people are getting uneasy about
coasting, sleighing, skating, snowballing, &c.
A Dual WEDDING.-On Tuesday afternoon,
December lltb, quite an interesting event
took place at the Methodist Protestant Church,
of this city, in the presence Of large con.
course of interested friends, the attraction
being the rather uncommon celebration of a
double wedding. The contracting parties
were Miss Mary NJ. Ward, daughter OF Rev.
j. Il. Ward, President of Western MARYLAND
College, and Rev. T. II. Lewis, Of st. Johns
Independent Church, Baltimore Miss Lizzie
Il. Englar and Mr.. Evan McKinstry, of Car.
roll county. Long before the appointed hour
the church was uncomfortable crowded, and
many ANXIOUS glances were cast toward the
door. Promptly at four o'clock, all anxiety
ceased, as the soft tones Of the wedding march
pealed from the organ, under the skillful
touch of our well known musical townsman,
Mr.. Charles Zeiber, and the bridal party fled
up the centre aisle in the following order -
First, Messrs. G. Hibberd, of New Windsor,
and III. Dorsey Newson, of Baltimore Rev
i. II. Lewis and Miss Mary NJ. Ward; next,
l.. ii. Jarmin and X. b. Norment, Jr., OF
Westminster, Mr.. McKinstry and Miss Lizzie
Il. Englar and last, Mr. Gilbert, of Balti.
more, and Mr.. s. Herr, of Westminster. At
the pulpit rail, the first couple separated, and
Mr.. Mckinstry and his bride stepped forward,
when they were solemnly united in marriage
by Rev. j. I. Ward. The ceremony conclud.
ed the newly married pair stepped back, and
Rev. I. ii. Lewis and bride took their places,
when the ceremony was performed second
time. Both brides were atired in myrtle
green bourette cloth travelling suits, with
bonnet and gloves to match. The bridal
party left on the afternoon train for short
trip north, followed by the congratulations of
many friends.
