NEW GERMANY, Md, Dec. 9th.
ED. REPUBLICAN Your request
some time ago for some items, has
not been forgotten. Perhaps some
news from this place would be ac
ceptable to your many readers. A
word as to the place: New Germany
is neither town, village nor post Of
flee, but simply a settlement among
the Allegheny mountains in Garrett
county, which received its name
from the fact that the first settlers
were mainly foreign Germans. There
are two churches and tive schools.
M. f. aud Reformed church; a uni
On Sunday School, which closed for
the winter term on Sunday, Dec.
2lst, to meet again to reorganize at
as early day in the spring as win
ter will permit. A few words in re-
gard to this school. This neighbour
hood is not very thickly settled, the
children are gathered from three to
four miles from the church hence it
is almost impossible to continue it
during the winter season. 1t has en-
rolled l15 children, who attended
well all summer, but teachers failed
to be punctual. Christmas services
were held in the Trinity Reformed
Church on Christmas morning, at 10
O'Clock. The church was handsome
ly trimmed with evergreens also a
Christmas tree for the Sunday School
loaded with 145 cornucopias, one for
each child. How their eyes shone
their hearts were filled with joy.
The services were of an interest.

and responses, addresses, singing,
DC. AT the commencement of the
exercises the marriage of Mr.. Oliver
M. burst and Rebecca NJ. Strawn,
took place, Rev. G. U. Heilman per-
forming the ceremony. After the
Christmas services were concluded
the happy couple received the con-
CALCULATIONS of their many friends,

were serenaded at night. May an

Af his election as United States Sen.
ator from Ohio.
The effoits to settle the Indian
dlfhcuities peacefully are likely to
fail. Secretary Schurz is losing con-
tidence in his plan, and is almost
ready to JOIN General Sherman, who
says the Ute tribe ought to be exter-
minated unless they at once surren-
der those who murdered the whites
at their agency. Prompt action will
be taken, and it is probable that be-
fore many weeks they will be forced
to leave Colorado.
When Congress re-assembles the
Republicans will endeavor to have a
deficiency bill passed for the payment
of the United States Marshals for
services already rendered, the con-
fed rates having refused to pay them
at the extra session. Doubtless they
intend to continue the starving out
policy if they can find pretense
for it.
The Greenbackers are said to be
preparing number of bills for in
PRODUCTION as soon as Congress assem-
bles, with the purpose of creating
agitation, and force others to divide
upon their line of policy. They will
not, however, accomplish much, the
majority being against such agita-
ton.
A financial genius proposes a COM
promise between Honorable Fernan-
do Wood. who wants three and a
half per cent. Government bond, and
Secretary Sherman, who wants a
four per cent.
The new proposition is for one Of
three and sixty four hundreds per
cent. just one half the interest the
Government paid in 1868.

ED. REPUBLICANS - Feeling an
interest in the future success of the
Garrett Literary Society. | seek for
space in your paper to cali the atten-
ton of the citizens of Oakland and
vicinity to it. Five years ago this
month it was organized by Miss Lii
lie A. Brown. Since that time its
existence and the history of it's ca.
reer have been rather Of an eyentful
and varied character; at times hav.
ing numerous and enthusiastic adhe-
rents, very interesting and attractive
exercises, a large and intelligent att
tendance of members, citizens and
strangers and then again its mem-
bership would decrease, few would
attend and it would he with difficult
ty often that quorum could be pro-
cured; the exercises, If any, were
very short, devoid of interest or at
tractiyeness, its progress anything
but satisfactory and but for the efforts
OF few earnest supporters would
not now exist. Notwithstanding
that its career has been thus, first up
and then down, now moving on
ward. then retr0grading, the Society
has been kept up} library of three
or four hundred volumes, including
many good and valuable works, has
been accumulated and it has been of
advantage and benefit to few and
OF interest 10 many. Now it has
again arrived at one of its deterioat>
ing periods ; it is again in the midst
of one OF its retarding experiences
aud requires more than ordinary
caution and exertion to foster and
care for its continuance as an organ
ization. In this condition this ap
peal IN its behalf is made to those
members of the same who fail tO at
tend its meetings and give II the sup
port and aid it ought to receive from
them, add to the good people of this
community. No organization, of
whatever character, can be of dura-
ton If the members neglect it, if no
new acquisitions are made To- its
/ numbers, if no assistance and en-
enlargement are received by or of
fered to ii. This being the case, we
request all to- AXE into consideration

importance of having in our midst

you to unite with us and assist us to

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.

Special Correspondence to The Republican ]
WASHINGTON. D. c.. Dec, 80, 1879
General Grant is spending few
days here quietly, having at the adj
vice of his best friends refused to
have public reception such as he
had in other places. A good deal of
disagreeable talk was occasioned by
the affair in Philadelphia. and those
who have the Generals personal
welfare rather than his political pro-
motion at heart have advised him to
avoid those who lay claim to him as
their Presidential Candidate.
The Maine business looks very
ugly for The Democrats, since it is
understood that Garcelon will refuse
to submit the points at issue to the
Supreme Court. Several Demo
cratic Senators here. including Eaton
and Cockrell. have requested him to
take such action, fearing that other.
wise the Democratic party in the
North will suffer. The men who
made up their mind to steal the State
will be slow to back out of that Job
until thev are forced out.
The Colored exodus is increasing
everyday, many persons passing
through here.on their way to Indiana
and Ohio Accounts from their
friends who have settled in the North
are very favorable, and increases the
desire of those who remain to follow
them.
General Garfield has gone home for
a few days. He feels pretty confident

The Masonic Entertainment.

The Masonic order of this place,
Lodge No. 1873, A. F & A. M, had a
very pleasing and enjoyable demon
stration of a quiet character, on last
Tuesday evening, in the reunion of
its adherents and their families and
the social intercourse consequent to
such occasions. Between six and
seven O'Clock the members of the or
der assembled in their ledge room,
from where, having formed in pro-
cession, they paraded through the
streets, preceded by the Oakland cor
net band, to the M. E. Church, where
the exercises of the evening took
place. After singing by the choir in
attendance, and prayer by Rev. Mr..
Smith Of Piedmont, Col. James M.
Schley, of Cumberland, delivered
very able and entertaining address
on Masonry, in the course of which
he answered the objections usually
raised and most strongly urged
against the fraternity, and set forth
in happy and interesting manner,
in beautiful and eloquent language
and glowing terms the beauty, char
acter and attributes of the order. He
was followed by Rev. Mr.. Smith,
who also made good and strong adj
dress on the same subject, advocating
and defending the Order in matters
not preached by Col. Schley. After
the audience had been dismissed the
MasoEs again formed in procession
and accompanied by their wives or
other ladies, with the band in the
lead, proceeded to the GIades Hotel,
where they partoOk of an elegant re-
past prepared for the occasion by the
proprietor, Mr.. John Daley, the
band discoursing some good music
in the meantime. Everything con-
nected with the affair was very pleas
ant and gave general satisfaction, re.
ceiving the favorable comment of
all present especially was it the case
with the address of Col. Schley. and

said by some to have excelled any,

past. Miss Matte Kepner's singing
