There were a number of Christmas dinners
given last Tuesday, but none was pleasanter
or afforded more enjoyment than that given
at the hospitable mansion of Mr.. and Mrs.
Frank Goodnow, on Seventh street. The
menu of the table was superb, and the en-
joyment which succeeded the dinner hour was
perfect.
VIM l.. Moulton. Of Brownhelm, Lorain
county, Ohio, writes d. Proctor that there
will be the biggest immigration to Kansas
from that section of the country next Spring
that has ever taken place before. Most OF
them will come TO this part ofthe state There
is general desire among the farmers to sell
their property and come to Kansas.
Notwithstanding the mud people came in
from the country during the days prior to
Christmas, to load themselves down with boli-
day goods. 1t was a constant stream of peo-
pie pouring into and from the toy stores.
The purchase of holiday presents in Salina
was unprecedented-a sure indication that
money is much more abundant now than in
times past, at this season Of the year.
The Athletic Club will give a social dance
on the evening of Monday, December 31st, at
their hall on Iron avenue. They will have an
extra band of music in attendance. Ii is the
only party of the kind to occur during the
holidays, and will be largely attended. Their
last party was such pleasant affair that the
young people have been waiting eagerly for
invitations to another.
Should the weather be fine on New years
day many Of the Salina gentlemen will array
themselves for the purpose of making calls.
We hear of quite number of the ladies who
will keep open house on that day, and proba-
bly, many of those who do not will hang the
basket son the outer WALL to be stormed
with the illustrated cards
We are informed that Captain II. d.
Baker has received quite lucrative appoint
ment connected with the Quarter Master Cen
erals office. The position is in the nature Of
an auditing agent of Indian depreciation
claims. Nebraska, Kansas and the Indian Ter
ritory are included in his jurisdiction. The
Captains labors commence January LIST, and
he starts for Chicago early next week, to enter
upon the duties of his office.
We notice that the bank of the river just
south of Iron avenue bridge is gradually fall
ing into the stream, and it seems to us as if
its condition requires immediate attention.
Not only is the bridge endangered, but all adj
jacent property. In our opinion the city au-
thorities should take it upon themselves to
provide against the further destruction of the
bank. BY forming a rip-rap upon the bank
a remedy is provided.
At the Christmas tree entertainment Father
Wibbert distributed presents to all the mem.
bers of the Catholic school. All of them were
very nice. The tree was voted to Miss ELLA
Doyle, who received 305 votes. There were
five prizes in ail-Clara Low receiving the
second, Matte Fitzgerald third, Birdie Carroll
fourth, and Mary Sherrin fifth. There were
about 40 candidates, Ben. Litowich being one
of the aspirants. He got vote and half
1t is encouraging to lear n Of the growing in
terest in literature among the young ladies
and gents of Salina. Some valuable informa-
ton was received by young lady one evening
last week who, after making the remark that
she thought that books written by gentlemen
were so much better than those written by
by ladies and citing, Messrs. George Elliot
and Sands as the BEST was informed of the sex
of those writers. Really George and Frank
are not good names for ladies-they often lead
others into trouble.
Little Charlie Garverish, who has been sick
with fever so long, and dangerously, is getting
well. Mr.. Garverlsh says that he had but lit
tie hope of his recovery, when he called Doc
tress Warren to see him, and he thinks that
she displayed almost superhuman power in
raising him. He regards her professional
skill very highly, and says her presence in Sa-
lima is a blessing which her many friends in
Salina and vicinity, who have tested her skill,
value and appreciate.

ilene Chronicle:
The dedication of the new Methodist church
at Salina, Sabbath last, was an event long to
be remembered by those present. The dedi-
catory sermon, by Bishop Andrews, was one
of the finest efforts ever made in this western
country. After the sermon, an appeal was
made to the congregation and 3. 065 was SUBJ
scrbed, which left the society entirely free Of
