A solid understanding Of measures

shame than pity to perceive people
of elegant physique sliding and

they should, because their inatten-

the ringing of the bells, serenades by
Christmas carols ringing out on the
night or morning air, in addition to
church services, if carried ON in a
proper manner and spirit, would all
be appropriate and becoming, and
would tend to excite pleasing senti-
ments and emotions, and highten
the general joy.
We believe the town authorities
ought to suppress the perniciOus prac-
tice of using firearms, as it is both
annoying, dangerous and democrat
izing. Sometimes property is set on
fire; sometimes somebody is hurt ;
and always nervous and weakly per
sons are annoyed. ..
Rarely does any body engage in
these midnight disturbances but
thOughtless young men and boys,
and they ought to be checked.

Free Distribution of Brook Tr0st.

During the last season Mr.. 4. b.
Ferguson, fish commissioner Of Mary
land, distributed a large number OF
brook trout to persons wishing to
stock ponds or streams. The distri
button will continue this season. In
a circular on the subject the commits
sioncr says:
"All citizens of the State wishing
trout to stock waters of the State can
get them, free Of charge, on applica-
at Druid Hill Matching. house on and
after January 10 next. This distri-
button will be gratuitous ; but the
fish COMMISSION cannot either under
take to furnish vessels for transporta-
ton, or meet any expenses of their
transfer from the hatching-hOuse to
the localities for which they may be
destined. Persons making applica-
ton must take to the Matching house
with them vessels in which to re-
move the fish. Ordinary milk cans
are very suitable, and fiVe-gall0n
can will hold about as may hundred
trout. The young fish should be de.
posted az near the head ofthe stream
as possible, and the deposit be made
after dark, if practicable. This en-
ables them to become accustomed to
the water and find hiding places
during the night when most of the
larger fish do not feed. The employe
of the commission in charge of the
Matching. house will be furnished
with blank receipts, on which must
be stated the stream IN which the
fish are to be deposited by the person
making application" . .. ...

ut is meet, right, end our bound
en- dutyp to be grateful for the adj
vent of "Christ the Lord" into our
sinful world, and for the mercy of
God in sparing US to enter upon a
new year, but how inappropriate and
absurd is the custom of firing guns,
pistolsand fire crackers as expressive
of our JOY and gratitude. These
things remind US of wars and their
fearful concomitants but Jesus was
the Prince of Peace, and when his
gospel shall have its full and desired
effect on the earth, the nations shall
learn war no more. The angels at
his birth sang the heavenly anthem,
"Glory to God in the highest, peace

Appropriate music by the band,
