Letter From Laurel.
Fer the Republ can.

J Fer the hepuDlctn'
MEssRs EDIroRs;--The usual Christ,
mas festivities In Laurel, Dell, passed
of very pleasantly. A large congrega-
tion met in the NJ. y. Church on Christ
mas eve. to witness the distribution Of
presents, which hung profusely upon
two large trees, one at each end OF the
altar, In the absence of the pastor the
meeting was opened with prayer by
one Of the teachers. The next three
quarters OF an hour was spent in mu
steal concert, lead by our accomplished
Sunday School organist, Miss Lne Tate.
At the end Of these enjoyable exercises,
Old Kriss in all his ugliness, with his
beautiful bride leaning upon his arm,
made his appearance at the from!
door, and to the great Amusement OF
the young people, slowly walked up
the isle, and commenced the work Of
distributing presents to nen, women
and children, all of whom shared large
ly In these gifts. II is very agreeable
at any time, to receive gifts from friends,
but frequently this custom at Sun
day School universities, Is heavy
tax on teachers who are not blessed
with much of this worlds good, than
they are able to bear. We would sug-
eest to the children of our Sunday
schools, that they at the end OF the
present year, change the order OF TINS
part of the anniversary, and each class
make nice present to their teacher,
and the entire school make q suitable
present to the superintendent.
Our school was reorganizsd last sun-
day afternoon. Il. Clay Lewis who has
efficiently served the school as Super
intendent during the last three years,
was reappointed, as were nearly all the
other oflc-rs.
The week OF prayer was engaged IN
last week by our churches. Notwith-
standing the damp evenings, the meet
inqs were interesting and profitable.
Our pastor is hard to beat in conduct
ing prayer meeting. He comes out
from his study which is in the north
west side OF the basement, warm In
spirituality and full OF zeal for God,
commences promptly at the ringing OF
the second bell, and carries on the
m.eting spiritedly tor abont one hour,
and unless there are penitents at the
altar then closes. The indications for
revival are good. The pulpit was
filled on last Sunday by the Rev. DR..
Jackson Of the Congregational church,
in tn. morning, aud by the Rev. Jas.
NJ. McCarter of your city, in the eve
Mug. The sermons were both good
We f7rvently pray, 30 Lord revive thy
work, " and may all the people say
amen. vBsERVEh.

The End or an ElOpems en- {.

Willouehby Arnold, the married man
who coaxed Ellmiaa Roth, aged IL, from
from her home in Lehigh Co., Pa, about
a week ago, and eloped with her, was
arrested at Topton, near Allentown, on
Sunday. Arnold states that after sell
ing the horse he had borrowed, he
bought tickets for Wheeling, W. Va,
but on arriving at Pittsburg he changed
his mind, and was returning home to
take back the girl and arrange matters
about the horse, when lie was arrested.
The constable who had the two in
charge had them handcuffed together.
The girl is said to be quite child in
appearance, and evidently had no proper
appreciation Of her situation.

Warning 70 Peanut Eaters

Six young men in Kennett, Chester
county, were arrested last week and
brought before the burgess of that
borough to answer to the oharge.ofwil-
fully and maliclously and with malice
aforethought eating, devouring and
crunching peanuts at the meeting OF
the Kennett Lycsum. Some of the
youngsters had habit of sitting in
the back part of the hall and munching
peanuts, of which the lyceum authori-
ties have frequently complained. AT
the last meeting it was resolved to
make an example of some of the offend
ers. The testimony against four OF
them was not sufficient to convict, but
two were found guilty and fined.

How theBuRaio is Disappear.

1t is said the buffalo is rapidly disap-
pearing from the Western plains. The
following statistics were collected at
Fort Mac Leod, near the headquarters
of the South Saskatchewan, in British
North America, and Fort Walsh, both
places being important centres for the
collection Of buffalo robes. The money
value of each ROPE to the Indian hunter
may bs roughly estimated at 81. In
1877 about 30, 900 robes were gathered
at Fort Mac Lsod, and large number
at Fort Walsh. In 1878 the number
was IL 1877 at the former, 1887 at the
latter place; while, this year, only 5,764
have com. into Fort Mac Leod, and
S,277 to Fort Walsh.

CoNvIcTED.-It will perhaps be remem-
bered that some time since A. P. Brand OF
Peru, n. Y, was arrested for carrying on
swindllng operations through the mails, his
means of operating being temptingly writ
ten advertisement (under an assumed nance,
requiring a small cash advance. In the
United States Court at Utica, Tuesday,
Judge Wallace presiding, Brand was con-
victed and sentenced TO one years imprison-
ment in the Albany penitentiary and TO pay
a fine of $3.50. He was defended by Mat
thew Hale of Albany and the prosecution
was in charge of Assistant United States Dis
trict Attorney Woodward of Plattsburgh.
Brands arrest and conviction were chiefly due
to the able and untiring efforts of George ii.
Bigelow, special agent of the Postofiice De-
partment who had the active cooperation CT
Mr.. Woodward and Deputy United States
Marshal Warren Dow. The case attracted
a great deal of attention across the lake,
Brand being widely known as prominent
local politician.

The Troy CONFERENCE.-THE coming
meeting of the Troy Methodist Conference
promises to be of unusual interest, as several
important questions are to be disposed OF.
Among these is the matter of reducing the
number of districts from six to four. This
question has long been asitated, but action
was postponed for the reason that it was not
deemed prudent TO interfere with the terms
of office of the several presiding elders. This
year, however, the terms of the elders OF the
Troy, Saratoga, Albany and Burlington
districts expire by limitation, and on that ac-
count the approaching meeting is considered
the best time to dispose of the matter of a
reduction of the number of districts. 1t is
generally believed that the proposition will
be carried by large majority. Another
matter to be taken up is the election of SIX
delegates and three reserves TO represent the
Troy Conference at the General Conference
which will meet at Cincinnati in May.

A GENEROUS DONATION.

On Tuesday, in publishing the Messrs.
McWilliams's donation to start Burlington
fund to be sent 10 the New York Herald
for its Irish subscriptions, We announced
our willingness to receive and forward all
contributions sent to us for the purpose,
and TO acknowledge them in the columns
of the FREE Press. To-day we take pleas
ure in announcing a generous gift TO this
most worthy charity-one of twenty dollars
from Capt L. A. Woodbury.. Doubtless,
many others of our citizens will be willing
to do something to relieve the terrible dis
tress IN the Green Isle, and Capt Woodbury.
and the McWilliams Bros have set an exam
pie worthy of imitation. The Catholics of
Burlington have responded to the call made
upon them most munifcently, their means
being taken into consideration and the rest
of our people will probably not be lacking in
generosity.
Capt Woodbury's note enclosing the gift
is as follows:
To the Editor OF the Free Press and Times:
Enclosed please find $50 to be sent TO the
New York Herald Fund.
Yours truly,
L. A. WOODBURY..
