general dullness in trade and the observ-

good deal of private social feasting, but
less New Year calling than is general in
Lancaster society, the custom gradually
coming into disuse in the larger cities.

Beautiful Wax Work.

We have been shown specimen Of waz
work made to order by Miss Martha Rudy,
of this city, and which has been the result
of long and artistic labor, that is rare
product in its way of taste and skill. 1t is
a cross Of flowers rising from a circular
mass of bloom and introducing the widest
range of floral selections. They are wrought
out most faithfully to the natural originals
and the whole work satisfies the most
critical examination. The entire design
is striking, but chief merit liessan the
careful elaboration of each flower. The
roses, carnations, fuchsias, forget-me-nots
and every''other of the emultitudinous variety
are executed with marvellous delicacy,
every bud and leaf being so natural that
to detect that they are artificial requires
close examination, and some of them, so
to speak, are "more perfect than natural
flowers.
