A Teachers Christmas Treat TO her
Scholars.

The Public School No. 3, 4th district, near
Black Horse, is in a very tlouriShng condition,
and numbers thirty-two scholars On Tuesday
morning, sd inst, the efficient teacher, Miss
Lottie Il. Berry, called her pupils together, TO
receive their Christmas treat. The frightened,
rosy-lipped and smiling faced group formed q
scene that skilled artist might have delighted
to study, for u picture of youthful pleasure
From well filled basket came forth tempting
oranges, nuts and confectionery, in rich profu.
sion, to the grateful joy of the recipients
These were accompanied by beautiful cards, to
all, as memcntO of the affection of the precep-
tress towards those under her care. In addition
to this, eight pupils received larger and still
more attractive cards, as tokens ofspecial merit.
The scholars recprocated, by presenting to
Miss Berry pair of highly ornamented vases.
In the brief presentation speech, aluson was
made to the emblematic character of the vases.
They were represented as being receptacles for
flowers, which might eXhale their fragrance
from the mantel during all the dreary winter
and seemed thus to express the wish that the
teacher might spend the entire period of life
surrounded by flowers of happiness This allu-
sion reminds ono of the pretty verses of Logan
descriptive of the bird that wanders from elmo
to cline, scckingand enjoying perpetual SPRING
sweet bird, thy bower is ever green,
Thy sky is ever clear;
Thou hast no sorrow in thy song
No winter in thy year.
o could fly, I'd fly with thee
We'd make, on social wing,
Our annual visit round the globe,
Companions of the spring.

Der 2jth. The occasion was the Christmas fcsti-
val Of the Boothby Hill Sabbath School. This
school numbers siNty.scvcn scholars and ten

lighted, adorned one end of the room and was 1,
great source Of attraction to the little folks
The exercises were opened with prayer which
was followed by singing n number Of carols by
the scholars under the direction of Miss Mary

singing was mtersperscd by the recitmg of ap.

The New Year.

Yesterday no doubt many persons, review
ing their lives for the past year, made good
resolutions for the year of grace 1880 upon
which we have entered. To-day as many
more, with throbbing brows and general
feeling of disgust with themselves, brought
about by tarrying too long with the wine-cup,
will also do the same thing. How many of
these promises will be kept, the record of last
years good intentions, made under similar
circumstances, will attest
1t is good for all of us to look over the
record of the past and in the light of the ex-
perience it affords TO resolve to amend our
lives wherever they arc amiss 1t is better,
though, to make n persistent and courageous
effort to carry out such good intentions.

The New Year will be n memorable one in
the history of our country. 1t will witness
another Presidential election, and upon the
result of that may hinge the perpetuiiy Of
government by the people, as instituted by
the founders of the republic. The story Of
the Presidential election of 1876 has not been

probability that the difficulties will be adj

Gov. Garcelon ordered arms and ammunition
to be removed from the arsenal at Bangor to
Augusta for the defence of the capital, but
an excited mob stopped the wagons contain

vent riot. Adjutant Leavtt went to Bangor
ON Monday with peremptory orders to re-
move the guns This was accomplished with
out disturbance on Tuesday.
Indignation meetings arc being held by the
Republicans and talk of the most incendiary
character is INDUCED in The Democrats
have also held large meetings and express
determination to stand by the Governor and
Council in unfolding the Constitution and

meetings Senator Blaine has been denounced
as rebel and traitor, and the cpithcts which
he has been so fond of applying to the people

CHRISTMAS DAY.-Thc joyful festival of Christ
mas was somewhat married by The rain, which
came down almost unntcrruptedly all day.
Many were prevented thereby from attending
church, but in the family circle the feast was
duly celebrated. Friends were again united
around the family hcarthstone, and the Christ
mas turkey was eaten with as much relish MS
ever. In Bel Air there was less noise than usual
upon the day, and by nighttall the streets were
quiet and deserted Services were held in En-
manuel Protestant Episcopal Church, q goodly
number of worshippers being present. Appro-
pirate services were alsoh held in some of the other
Protestant Episcopal churches and in the Roman
Catholic churches of the county. There were
no serious breaches of the peace, and the day, as
general thing, was spent in quiet and rational
manner.

1t is understood that the judges of the
Circuit Court of Allegany county will not
agree to the appointment of school commits

over Judge Alvey refused to have anything
to do with the appointment, believing that
the Constitution of the State does not require
him to do so, and that the Legislature had no
right TO impose the duty upon the judges

not agree, and it is therefore probable no APP

THE WORLD FOR 1880.

Sci, carefully alike of the action of their party

interesting and important years of this crowded
