The Natural Magnetic Physician,

He has met with unparalleled success in the
treatment of Chronic and Nervous diseases of every
description. Ninete nths of all the invalids of the
country may be either helped cured if treated in
treats disease by name, as if calling a disease BY
name and throwing an enchanted drug at it would
charm it away; but he treats with reference to the
peculiar organization and pathological condition of
his patient, thus he never makes IA mistake,
nor jeopardzes the lives of his patients by expert

in Portland has demonstrated that this is the

A Merry SIeighing Party.
Hear the sledges with the bells,

Hear the sledges with the bells,
Silver bells,
What world of merriment their melody foretells !!
How they tnkle tinkle, tinkle,
In the icy air of night
While the stars that oVersprinkle
All the heavens seem to twinkle
With a chrystalline delight
Keeping time, time, time,
In sort of Runic rhyme
To the Standardization that so unsteady wells
From the bells, bells bells, bells,
Bells bells BELLS
From the jingling and the tinkling of the bells.
Our little city was agreeably enlive ned
Tuesday evening, by the blowing of horns,
ringing of sleighbells and merry peals of
laughter. A party Of twenty five ladies and
gentlemen, snugly packed in three sleds and
a sleigh, and bent upon a merry ride, started
about seven O'Clock for the pretty little viii
lage of New Windsor. The whole party were
provided with tin horns, and they blew Justify
as they passed through our streets, and kept
up continuous footing until their destination
was reached, except an occasional intermis-
sion when sled body would slip from the
runners, and a cessation for repairs was nee
essary. All along the road the country folk
listened with amazement, and all New Wind
scr wondered. A halt was made for a short
time at Dielman's Hotel, where the incidents
of the trip were talked and laughed over, and
some cake, wine, &C., were discussed.
The ride home was but repetition of the
trip up, the enthusiasm of the merry sleighers
holding out to the end. Nobody minded the
mishaps, (really rather enjoyed them no.
body cared for the cold nor needed the
falling snow. They arrived home about half
past IL o'clock, and awaked the slumbering
inhabitants with their merriment.

The Christmas of 1880 dawned upon us
amid snow and sleet. Though the weather
was inclement, the day was generally enjoyed
in this vicinity by both young and old. In
the morning the Reformed Sunday School
in connection with the St. Mary's Church at
Silver Run, held its annual Christmas festival
with appropriate services, Rev. j. G. Moss,
of Westminster, officiating. After the SER
vices gifts were presented to the children of
the school.
In the afternoon the Sunday School at this
place assembled at the new NJ. E. Church,
and after appropriate services, the school was
briefly addressed by Mr.. VIM. H. Yingling,
superintendent Of the school. At the con-
clusion of his remarks the children of the
school were treated to candy and oranges.
The school numbers about 95 pupils and is
in a prosperous condition.
The annual distribution of gifts of the Lu-
theran Sunday School, at Silver Run, will
take place on New Years morning.
Mr.. VIM. W. Crabs, of Astoria, Fulton
county, ILL.,, but formerly resident of this
place, is visiting his friends and relatives here
He intends remaining until about the first of
February.
The fox that was to be chased on Wednes-
day at Silver Run was transformed to dog.
He was duly put into sack and carefully
carried to the field where the chase was to
take place, and to the sad disappointment of
the many anxious spectators, small dog re-
sembling fox popped from the sack on its
being opened for his liberation We have
heard of none that assembled to witness the
chase that saw the fox.

Tl:c Browning Entertainment.
Communicated.


AS | never had the pleasure of attending an
entertainment at the Western Maryland Col
lege, and having the charming prospect of
two delightful escorts, namely couple of
Westminster S most agreeable young bachel
orS, | determined to venture, though the
streets were clad in snow and the way was
Iongand cold. Accordingly, at seven O. clock
escort No. | and myself started, and such
slipping and sliding and reelng to and fro,
had itnot been Christmas week one might have
accused us of having imbibed too freely of
egguog or some other al dent. After vigorous
efforts we reached No rs neat little residence.
lie Informed us it was too early to proceed to
the Collegiate Hall, and invited us to enter
his cosy parlor; and rs we were not flies and
he not spider, we entered without fear.
Our genial host was so entertaining and agree
able, though we were there a half an hour,
1t seemed but ten minutes had sped, when he
informed us it was time to ascend the College
mount. We started, and, as No 2 was lar
ger and stouter, and fair though not forty, |
allowed him the privilege of hauling me up
the mount Finally, after blowing through
the snow, and convulsed with laughter at my
amusing companion, who was in a punning
veln we arrived at the summit and were ush-
cred into the brilliantly lighted chapel just in
time to see the curtain rise upon the beauti-
full Christmas Cantata. Where all acquitted
themselves so admirably it would be invidi-
GUS to particularize but | cannot forbear to
mention Miss May Meredith, whose clear,
sweet voice rang through the hall and who
sung her role with so much life and amin a.
ton; also Miss Bessie Miller, who looked as
pretty and sparkling as a veritable Frost
Queen, and who spoke so distinctly and sweet
y, and acted her role to perfection. Miss
Florence Herring is certainly fine performer
on the piano, The fair organist also deserves
her need of praise. Little Sallic Wilmer
made sweet little fairy, with her fair hair
flowing in golden waves down her dimpled
shoulders. Professor Wright, as old Santa
Claus, was admirable The Christmas din
ner was excellent and amusing, and peal
after peal of laughter echoed through the hall.
The tableau of Might was exquisite. The
fair young group reminded one of lovely
marble statuettes. If time and space permit
ted | would like to write more about this
charming entertainment, but must conclude
by saying, though it was the first, | hope it
may not be the last | will have the pleasure of
witnessing.

Prof. VennOr.

We like prophet, but Professor Vennor
pleases US too WELL The son. OF. a gun has no
sense at all. We ike a little snow at Christ
mas, but he has been trying to cover up ev-
erythng. Lastweek, on Monday and Tuesday,
he gave US about thirteen inches of snow ;
about five inches more on last Saturday and
Sunday, and another considerable fall on
Tuesday night and Wednesday. These he
must consider small affairs, for on next FRI
day and Saturday he says there will be snow
blockades.
1t is time this thing was stopped, unless he
gives US sleigh and four in hand. How does
he expect us to get around and find out the
news and if we don't publish the news sub
scribers will stop taking the paper. Bergh
ought to get after him, too, for cruelty to birds
II this thing continues the birds will starve to
death.

The PICTURESQUE,

What is more picturesque and animating
sight than pair of spirited horses, harnessed
to handsome sleigh or cutter, with its rich
scalloped scarlet robe, and underneath it a
bevy of pretty girls accompanied by gay young
beaux, with the horses moving at 2:40, the
bells giving out, at each step of the noble an
imals, their merry naturalization Or, bet
ter still, what is more picturesque than an
old fashioned sled, with the bottom covered
over with straw, and the farmer with his wife
and half a dozen rosy children, tucked costly
beneath a coverlet or buffalo robe, and good
Ball and Dobbin, full of mettle from high
feeding, skimming over the frozen ground like
swallows?
What delights the farmers know,
When their fields clad in snow,
And their barns and larders filled with honest cheer
The days roll gaiy
Till the winter s fairly gone
And the rosy spring again is drawing near.

Mr.. Vennor, the Canadian weather prophet,
having come very near the exact condition of
the weather for December in his predictions,
his forecast of what may be expected in Jan
uary becomes of interest. Mr.. Vennor says:
~ anticipate that New Years callers will
have heavy sleighing this year from Montreal
to Washington. | expect bockades ofsnow in
the United States about the 7thand 9Th ofJanu
airy, and rainy days during the month will be
exceedingly few. The second quarter will
open with heavy falls and terminate in a cold
snap. The middle of the month will bring
snow falls, which will terminate in milder
weather toward the end of the third quarter.
The thaw, which will be interrupted by a
brief cold spell, will extend from about the
18th of the month into February. The record
of this month will show it 10 have been a
severe one, and the general conditions of the
weather will remind US of some of what are
called real old fashioned winters

Christmas in Wesfminster.

Christmas Day was observed in this city
in christian-like manner Services were
held at the Catholic, Episcopal and Reformed
churches and large proportion of the pop.
uation attended divine worship. St. Johns
(Cathoic) was never more deliberately decor
ated, and the attendance at each of the four
services was large, about 160 persons receiv-
ing the Holy Communion. The decorations
at Ascension (Episcopa) Church were also
beautiful. At this church there were three
celebrations of the Holy Eucharist, morning
and evening prayer, and service at night for
colored people, making six services in all.
At st. Pauls (Reformed) Church services
were held at o'clock in the morning, and a
Sunday School festival in the evening. The
church was appropriately trimmed.
1t is said that there never were more Christ
mas trees for the delight of the little folks in
Westminster, and many of them were very
large and handsome.
Kris Kringlers have been having a royal
time. Several bands, Enthusiastically rugged,
have been out every night for week past,
attording pleasure or causing annoyance,
according to the taste of those visited.
Altogether the holiday season of 1880 has
been merry one, and may we all witness
many returns.
