CALvERTox ITEMs.-It was, as usual, very quiet
here all through the holidays. Christmas day
was ushered in with light volley of musketry,
followed by little cannonading Then came
that fascinating and meOdious tin horn, which,
to their credit be it sad served to remind US that
the season for sport was at hand.
Old "Kriss." must have had unusual stock
this Xmas, as nearly every window is adorned
with a tree, filled to the utmost with trinkets
of every description. Among the most attractive
of the many trees were those in the grocery store
of Mr.. L. f. Bowen. These were erected upon
each of the three corners of the counter and all
were very tastefully trimmed with raw cotton, to
represent snow. This proved to be quite a novel
ty, few having seen the like before.
SummerieId NJ. E. church, at this place, has
had thorough cleaning, both inside and out
which it needed very badly. The church now
looks quite inviting, the spittoons have been re-
moved and the congregation is now seated pro
miscuously, which act we deem very beneficial tC
the church. b.

There has been quite sensation created in our

vented a pump, which your correspondent has
been informed is an Illustration of perpetual mo-
tiol. But that being deemed al impOssbility in
mechanics, action and reaction being equal in
contrary directions, sought for further informa-
ton. and ascertained that Mr.. B. caught the idea
o. bis invention from tbe handspring of a wStch,
and after eight months of severe mental labor has
succeeded in perecting his idea in the production
OF pump that will run twenty-four hours on be-
ing wound up, and throw a continuous stream of
water, the dimensions OF which, it is said, can be
regulated 10 suit t3e strength OF the well. The
inventor says he can adapt his pump to wells of
all depths by making a correspondugly strong

the general sympathy of ou' DeighborhOod Tor the
success OF the enterprise.
I shall endcavor to avail myself of a visit of
