THEIR CHRISTMAS TURKEY.

The shop of MIR. 0nosender Golong
looked, that 9th of December, like a
bower. Two young cedar-trees stood
one TN each side of the doorway; long
garlands of evergreen, sprinkled with
bright berries, were festooned all over
the walls; and every turkey there, and
there were lots of them, hanging like
some new kind of gigantic fruit from the
mass of green that covered the ceiling,
had gay ribbon tied around its neck.
And such wonderful picture in the
way Of freshness and color as the big
window presented to the passersby!
Bunches Of crisp light green celery lean
ing up against heaps of brown, pink
eyed-potatoes and honest red onions;
fery-looking peppers side by side with
golden oranges and yellow lemons;
hard, smooth, shining cranberries try
ing to look as though they were sweet;
great pumpkins; piles of green and
piles of rosy apples; punches of fragrant
thyme, and more turkeys, some. with
and some without their feauhered coats,
but all. as said before, with FAY rib
bons around their necks. Dear me! it

Thec0rps of engineers that are located at
this place. in the employ of the South Penn
syiyania Railroad Company. succeeded in
creating considerable excitementon wednes-
day last by running line that crosses the
5. & G. X. r. about one hundred feet above
grade, just norfi, Of the residence Of Daniel
Trent. This line cuts through the corner
of the Academy lot aud then passes through
the property Of ex Sheriff Pile until itstrikes
the hill in the rear of the cemetery cutting
the back Of this hill it curves to the left and
finally unltes with the line previously run
in the neighborhood of james Parsons. All
sorts of stories were Immediately set afloat;
one that there would be 40 foot cut throus h
the Pile property. while gentleman was
heard TO declare that one of the engineers
had told him that there would be fill of
a few feet on the Academy hilIr The last
story is one on a par with the declaration
made by some person connected with the
corps, that there would be a piece Of tressel
v lrk 1400 feet high in the Deeter gap. These
stories are swallowed by few of thescredu-
lous and repeated with an earnestness that
makes them laughably absurd. The truth
is that about all the railroad news that is to
be gathered here is, that there is corps of
engineers here, that there are half dozen
corps in the county, that they have an Office
in the Cook & Beerits Block, that they are
running great many experimental lines,
and that they keep their mouths clos ly
sealed as to what they are actually doing.
In fact, Chief Engineer Miller seems to be
as dumb as an oyster, when approached on
the subject.
