from the ground, with no support but
the cruel snag, until her aged and Grip

girl is rapidly getting well. He has
extracted numerous bits of wood and
bark ssaln the interior of the wound
though it is healing kindly, and al con-
stitutional disturbances, have been suc-
cess!ully Hlaated.

CHRIsTdAs.-The tendency of human nature
to rebel against authority and the innate desire
to do that which is forbidden, which led our
first parents astray, most strongly 1llustrat-
ed in our city on last Christmas Eve and Christi
mas night. TIE City Council refused to repeal
the ordinance against firing pop-crackers on
the streets and the boys prompted by the
spirit of "disobedience' which led to man 5
| first fall" in solemn conclave assembled de-
| termined that, Notwithstanding the intefdlct
| of the 'gravo and reverend seigniors," hre-
crackers should be fired. Now, who was ever
known to resist successfully the concerted ac-
ton OF the youth of the present generation !
The police, though they tried faithfully, soon
| found, that it was as impossible to find who eX-
ploded squibs. as it was for De Soto to find the
'Founatain of YOUTH
| On all sides was to be heard the sharp report
| of the pop-cracker, and occasionally the deep
resonant note of q cannon-cracker but from
| whence they came or by whom ignited it was
| impossible to tell.
Serenades, in which the martial music of tin
horns and the detonationn, ofpop-crackers was
the chief element, were given to Messrs. Cocfi-
ran, Weller, Bledsoe and Evans, members OF
the Council, who had voted against the repeal
of the ordinance, prohibiting this customary
juvenile celebration of Christmas times The
gentlemen very sensibly, took them in sood
part.
During Christmas day an unusually large
number of county people wero in the city and
all seemed to be enjoying themselves in pur-
chasing their holiday goods 4
Though the Moffett punch was rung frequent
, ly, there was very little rowdyism on the
streets and only a few skirmishes of a mino,
character occurred. +S
The police were active and efficient and nip
| ped every difficulty in the bud.
On the whole, Christmas day was very pleas
spent by citiznrS
Staunton.

THE REVIVAL MEETINGS in the Methodist
Church still continue, and will probably be
kept up for some time to come. DIR. Martin
preached morning and night on Sunday and
there is still very deep religious feeling in the
congregations, with numbsr ofpenitents at the
altar each night. Fourpersons connected them
selves with the Church on Christmas day aud
four more on Sunday morning. This makes
81 xty odd who have Joined the church since the
comm encement of the revival.
