On December 10th there was grand affair al
Mr.. Thomas ii. Wiley's, near Shawsvilc, in an
oyster supper, given under the auspices OF the
Knights of Pythias Home Secret Lodge, No. o.
All enjoyed themselves to their hearts content
The assembly was honorcd by the appearance of
some of our young ladies, elegantly dressed, who
helped to pass away the time agrceably. Among
the crowd Of bachelors present it was amusing
to see the furivc glanccs exchanged, and the
bright flashes of wit made many quail
The caterer of the suppGr understood how to
tickle the palate, but it was laughable to see
some of the guests making wry faces over thoir
first attempt 10 cat oysters.
Among the livclcst gentlemen present were
Or. j. I. Payne, Joshua McComas, j. T. Ward,
Thomas kirkwood, Lacy Nicholson and Thomas
Turner, who kept up fun enough for all to en-
JOY. Rev. Joseph Nelson lent his presence, and
delivered an address full Of cloquence and wis
dom. He reviewed the Pythian order from its
organHation and gave some thrusts TO the Ia
dies who are Jealous every time their licgc lords
attend the lodge and TO some who gave Caudlc
lectures after lodge hours. Mr.. Nelson compli.'
mentcd the lodge for their success and good
stamina, and closed his lecture by femarkipp
that there existed society | SOC years old, or,

These were accompanied by beautiful cards, to
all, as memento of the affection of the precep-
tress towards those under hcrcare. In addition
to this, eight pupils received larger and still
more attractive cards, as tokens ofspecial merit.
The scholars reciprocated, by presenting to
Miss Berry pair of highly ornamented vases.
In the brief presentation speech, allusion was
made to the emblematic character of the vases.
They We're represented as being receptacles for
fowcrs, WHICH might cxhale 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 cline

'Swoet bird, thy bower ever green,
Thy sky is ever clear;
Thou hast no sorrow in thy song.

The Boothby Hill school house was filled to
lis utmost capacity on Friday evening, Deem
Der Goth. The occasion was the Christmas icsti-
val of the Boothby Hill Sabbath School. This
school numbers siNty.scvcn scholars and ten
teachers, under the charge of VIM +. Aaronson
and A. Lewis Hyde, Superintendent. A Christ
mas tree handsomely trimmed and brilliantly
lighted, adorned one end of the room and was Il
great source of attraction to the little folks
The exercises were opened with prayer, which
was followed by singing number of carols by
the scholars, under the direction of Miss Mary
J.. Hendon, who presided nj The organ. The
singing was intersperscd by the reciting of ap.
propriatc scrptural texts by the scholars, and
by the distribution of forty-one premium books,
which We're given out by Mr.. Aaronson. When
the programme had nearly been concluded Santa
Claus suddenly made his appearance, laden with
bags of candy, raisins and nuts, which he freely
distributed. The appearance of Santa Claus
was great surprise, especially to the children,
and was highly enjoyed. AT the conclusion of
the exercises the treasurer, Mr. j. r. Chcsney,
stated that the school is in good financial cond-
ton. Mr.: Hyde gave the general report of the
school, and said the most encouraging and go-
rious feature Of the year was that nine had been
brought into the church from the school. II.

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 throbbng brows and a 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 persistent and courageous
effort to carry out such good Intentions
The New Year opens with abundant cause
for thankfnlness throughout the country
Business of all kinds has revived, and farmers,
W, are obtaining remunerativc prices

Fable that the flush times of the war will
Is yer he seen again, we may reasonably hope
y'hat for many years to come honest industry
to work will not want for bread The habits
OF enforced economy learned during the hard
times now happily over, as we trust, should
not be laid aside, but should be continued, ms
the surest preventive against return of the
evil days.
The New Year will be memorable one in
the history of our country. 1t will witness
another Presidential election, and upon the
result of that may hinge the perpetuity of
government by the people ms instituted by
The founders of the republic The story of
The Presidential election of 1876 has not been
forgotten. The people of the United States
remember that the man they elected Presi-
dent then was kept out of his seat by con-
spiracy, which could not be resisted except by
plunglng the country into another civil war.
They have fixed responsibility for the great
wrong upon the Republican leaders, and the
stain will remain upon them to all time If
That party should again be successful, even bv
fair means, the precedent that might makes
right will be firmly established, and the con-
'nuance of our present form of government
VIII only be a question of time. If their sue
cess is obtained through chicanerv and fraud
Republican institutions will be imperiled to
an equal degree. The hope and salvation of
the country lies in Democratic success this
year If the people condone the fraud of
1876 or permit fraud at the election this wear
their liberties will be lost. The Democratic
party is in the majority in the country. If
-1hey are united they can win and save the
country whitley be wise?

ever. In Bel Air there was less noise than usual
upon the day, and by nightfall the streets were
