On last Friday there was a Christ

and it was we'll loaded with pres
ents for the little ones !; but o the
great astonishment Of the large al
dience there was two small negro
babies perched On the limbs of our
fine Christmas tree. The babies were
born in the garnet Of the school
house. Some of the boys got mad
over the affair and a row ensued, in
which some of the ladies had their
clothing torn off and an old man lost
the larboard side of his whiskers. We
learn that the trouble is not over yet.
We had a fine Christmas tree at
Laddonia which was we'll loaded
with presents for young and old !;
the new church was crowded with
the citizens of the town and country,
who had a general good time while
there, but while going home we had
to contend with a heavy snow storm,
but no one was lost. The above all
happened Christmas eve, which was
ali fun for some and for a few 9TH
ers no fun at all.

LADDoNIA, Mo-, Jan. 4, $780,
EDITOR LEDGER: The ''beautiful
snow" is falling and although the
New Year comes to us with a win
terish appearance, It's warm and
pleasant. The merry sleigh bells go
by, ringing the glad music of the
New Year; merry hearts 60 gliding
DER the snow with songs to the New
Year and all seem happy and bright,
yet, we've no doubt in each heart
there is one little corner, that at
times, the Fates seem to have taken
possession of, and for the time, rob
it of all brightness; how much wiser
we would be not to listen to them,
but throw them overheard, and watch
the waves swallow them up. Now is
the time for new resolves-well, make
them, it's better-for as we resolve to
do better there Is hope: and may
each of US say at the end of the
year: II made some hearts happier
and caused none to be sad"
We ushered Christmas in with a
huge Christmas tree. "Old Santa
didn't forget the Laddonians, for he
brought all presents. On Thursday
night the church was filled with peo-
pie to witness the entertainment.
Friday night there was a pleasant
party at c. A. Smiths.
Mr.. C. Benning and Miss Allie
Smith, of Laddonla, were married
at the r ngo House in Mexico.
On Saturday the entertainment
was again held at the church the
house was more than crowded and
the large audience was well pleased.
We presume a new bell will soon ring
from Its dome, that none need have an
excuse for not knowing when church
time is and chandeliers, bright and
glowing, will hang from the ceiling,
giving light to all.
Rev. Alexander preached here on
Sunday.
On Monday business was resumed
in earnest. and everybody came to

VANDALIA. Mo-, January 3rd.-
ED. LEDGER: Our heretofore quiet
city was disturbed very much on New
Years eve. by the cowhiding Of
Geo. Zimmerman. alias '~'Soapy,' by
Miss Sallie Paggitt. 1t seems that
"Soapy" had written Miss Paggitt a
very insulting and vulgar letter. She
asked the advice of a lawyer, he tell
ing her the best thing she could do
would De to cowhide the gentle
man (?). which she did in the latest
and most improved style. s'Soapy'
is a good-for-nothing vagabond, and
has done a great deal of talking re-
garding other folks in Vasdalia, and
we think the best thing he can do,
will be 10 pack his soap receipts and
''take a walk On the other hand,
''Soapy'' has Il great many friends
among the ladies of Vandalia. Miss
Paggitt. it is said, does not bear the
best reputation in the world.
The Vandalia Dramatic Club, under
the management Of Nj. W. r. CIVIL

Look Out for the Future.

A young lady residing near Bel
fast, in Ireland, was visiting some
relatives in New Jersey a few winters
ago. She pretended to be very much
puzzled over the democratic state of
affairs in our republic. The village
baker was a Justice of the Peace, and
a shoemaker had been elected Assem-
blyman, while the State Senator from
that district was a coarse, illiterate
man-none of them by any means
gentlemen, as she understood the
word. She went skating with the
children n afternoon, and after her
return told a friend that on the pond
the butchers boy had greeted her,
and offered to assist her in putting
on her skates. "You didn't allow
him to do So, did your" demanded
her friend, a little Indignantly. sob
