BARNEsyILLE, Dec. 10.
The bright days enjoyed so long have
al last given place TO darkness and gloom,
and now il seems We shall have win
ter in earnest and snow for Christmas.
Yet the sombre and cherries weather
is forgotten in the bright anticipatious
of the near future. How the glad excite
ment and Joy recalls to older hearts the
DAVIS of sunny childhood and the zest
and happiness with which they entered
into the preparations for Christmas; the
whispered consultations in dark corners;
the rapid hiding away OF work; the won
derment about Santa Claus" and what
he would bring, and how he would get
il into the house, were indeed pleas

none is the JOY so full, rich and free as
TO the happy little ones, without whom
the coming OF Christmas time would be
cherries indeed.
The holiday season promises TO be
quite CAV and everybody is jubilant.
The PRESBYTERIAN Sunday school will
give an enjoyable festival and literary
entertainment combined, at City Hall,
Christmas Eve, A handsome kringle-
tree is being prepared and every mem
her of the school will receive something
from Santa"
The Methodist school will give an in
teresting entertainment Christmas night.
The programme has been carefully pre-
pared and promises TO richly repay all
who attend. Each school will also give
a treat" 10 its scholars, and none VIII
be- forgotten.
The last night of the cd year will
90 dancing out City Hall,
where the young folks will
holt grand ball, which
promises to surpass any former effort.
Many strangers are expected To attend.
and we are assured that no pains will
be spared TO make the affair decided
success.
The Harry Pease Dramatic Company,
who have an engagement here during
this week, have so far met with poor
success, which we greatly regret, as We
are DESTROYS that we shall not lose our
reputation as u leading place in our pat
| ronage OF first class amusements, and
certainly this troupe deserve better
things. Their rendition OF Under the
| Gaslight," at City Hall, Thursday even
| ing, has never been eXcelled by
any troupe visiting this place. Harry
| Pease in his character Of smoky
was the most noticeable, while
! Mr.. Stetson as "Sam, comic charac-
ter, is certainly hard to excel. Miss
| Crowell, in her able PRESERVATION, won
high praise, while Miss Weston, as
" Peach Blossom" was much admired.
Indeed the parts were ably supported
throughout, and We hope the two re-
naming nights OF their stay they VIII
receive crowded houses in appreciation
of their ability and worth.
GAINESVILLE enjoyed st. Clairsyllle
dish OF sensation this week, which, rs
usual, was received as a sweet morsel,
and highly relished by a certain portion
OF our community. 1t seems grave
matter to us to handle character so
lightly, and certainly no one should be
rash enough to destroy the peace and
happiness OF home, without GER
tain knowledge Of guilt; and If
the parties in this unfortunate affair
are innocent we deeply regret the great
Injustice which has been done them.
Dory Brown, the noted saloOnist,
comes up again, and this time it is such
| q condemnation OF oilenses that even
the lawyers are puzzled, and although
our efforts have been able and energetic
we are unable to elucidate clearly, but
after train of facts, as long as the NOR
al law, we are able TO gather the follow
ing: Brown was arrested here last
Tuesday on charge OF having in his pos
session large lot of unStamped cigars
and tobacco, and was taken to the coun-
ty seat 10 have hearing before United
States Commissioner Tallman, and on
Wednesday was sent TO Cincinnati in
default of $500 bail where it is hoped
he may remain for some time to come.
| 1t seems that the meteor must come
after all the watching and waiting and
now those fortunate enough to behold
the great wonder tell us of great light,
sounds as OF distant thunder, &c, vet
while we should be glad to describe
our emotions and the grandeur OF the
scene, we are forced 10 admit that we
saw nor heard nothing.
The heart OF VIM. Aiders, our aged
dravman, was made 10 rejoice last week
by the generous gift OF new horse,
draw and harness from number OF our
whole Souled citizens. Such an act de-
serves the highest commentator and
we are clad To note we have some great
souls and warm hearts who do not

Mr.. +. V. Shipley has purchased the
grocery formerly belonging 10 Mr..
| L. 7 Hanlon and will con-
tinue business at the old stand.
Mr.. Shipley is an enterprising business
man and a gentleman Of means, and will
doubtless make the business successful.
The display OF holiday goods this year
is very fine indeed, and the endless va
riety OF pretty things certainly will
please the most fastidious. The win
dows of every dry goods house, grocery
book and drug store are bright and beau
tiful, and we see each year that Barnes
vile is making decided progress. Nav
the good work go on until the city oi
the "sun kissed hills" has reached the
full zenith of her glory.
Our young friend Ed. Hunt, the
former REGISTER agent, has, we are glar
to see, opened news depot, and here
all the leading dailies may be found
among which is the favorite Wheeling
paper, the readable REGISTER, which
the proprietor tells us, is very popular
Ed. is an intelligent and promising
young boy, and we wish him success in
his new enterprise.
Word of the death of Mrs. Alice Glib
son, gainesville, which occurred last
Sabbath morning, was received with
much regret by her many friends in this
place. Mrs. Gibson was formerly Miss
Alice Green, of GAINESVILLE, lady OF
bright intellect, possessing warm and
loving nature. and beloved by all who
knew her. Life opened for her full OF
sunshine, hope and joy, but like many,
she was wrecked on the sea Of matri-
mony, and died at the age OF AZ of a lin.
gering, torturing Illness broken
heart.
Mrs. Julia Shafer, OF this place, died
last Thursday, of consumption. Mrs.
ShafTer was worthy and estimable
woman, and her loss will be deeply felt
by her bereaved husband and motherless
little ones.
Prof. Rheo and wife, with the young
ladies of his class, are expected 10 arrive
here this evening, and will make visit
of some days. On next tuesday even
ing they will give an enjoyable and first
class concert at City Hall, which prom
Uses 10 be replete with good things, and
we feel assured our people will see to II
that they are greeted with house that
will make them feel certain they are APP
| preciated.
