ton of vocal beauty such she has not shown here
before this season. After the duo she was presented
with monster basket Of flowers by the ladies of
the local chorus to whom she bowed and kissed her
acknowledgements
The programme was devoted to Italian composers
and TO lowed a chronological order covering the
field very intelligently from the middle Of
the sevcut .enth century when Italy still produced
the lawgivcrs and the creators of the art
down 10 to-day. The most important nnm-
bers were fra glnents from three repr sentative
operas of the beginning Of this ocntury-ChcrublnIs
Los leux Journees" >pontini's "La Vcstale" and
Ro~Sinfs "Guliaume Tell" Of each of these works
the overture and a vocal selection given. The
overture TO the last carried the people OFT their feet
and despite Mr.. Thomass paatomimic appeals, tley
would not content until he repeated the finale
The trio, which was sung by Mr.. Candidus. Mt
Rcmmer'z and Mr.. Whitney was an equally brill
liant performance, Nj Candidus especially creating
a sensation with his clear high and true voice and
the correctness and vigOr OF his dramatic declama-
ton. Madame GerSter generously sang the All,
non cred "a well the rondo from La Son
uambula' announced by The programme, and by an
exhibition Of exquisite feeling aud dazzling vocal
HatIon called ont rs hearty demonstration any
Of the day. Owing to the delays caused by re-
peated applause and the demand for a repetition OF
The William Tell " overture, MIR Thomas en- led
the concert without giving Bazzin's overture 10
King Lear" which was the last piece on the
printed scheme.

The markets for the week have been
weak andunsteady with a decided down
ward tendency for hogs, but a steady
market and fair demand for cattle and
sheep. The unsteadiness of the eastern
markets has produced = consequent
similar state of affairs in the local mar
kets here.
Chicago market reports were more
favorable at the opening of the week
with q five cent advance in hogs and a
iirmer feeling in cattle, but the general
tone of the market, from present APP
p~earances, is likely to be unstable until
after the holidays.
Liverpool advices report a steady
cattle market but lower prices for sheep.
Buffalo reports cattle firm, hogs dull,
sheep depressed.
New York, cattle firm but slow, hogs
steady, sheep dull and lower.
St. Louis, cattle, steady with good de-
mand, hogs a shade better, sheep steady.
Cincinnati, hogs easy.
The Chicago Times report notes the
following deduction" All sales of hogs
in this market are made subject to a
shrinkage Of 40 lbs for piggy sows and
50 lbs for each stag. Dead hogs sell at
2cf ID for averages of POO lbs and over;
at lie for averages of less than 200 lbs
The local market here has been sensi-
bly, affected by the lower prices and the
receipts, as will be seen, are extremely
light, farmers evidently prefering to
hold off for better prices.
The receipts and shipments for the
past week have been as follows;

Merry Christmas.

Before TIE HERALD again reaches
the homes Of its readers, Christmas, that
merriest, sweetest and richest of all
festivals, will have been hidden in the
oblivion Of things that were, with only
a memory, rich with reflected happi-
ness, will be left to tell Of the anniver-
sary of Gods best gift to mankind.
The merry bells will have brought their
sweet and gladstone message Of ''peace
on earth, good win TO men, But as
the mellow cadence falls upon the ear
hosts of memories come trooping on
like the in-sweeping Of the tide. Happy
are those to whom they bring no gall
of bitterness or which, if brought, is
tempered by sweeter after draughts
from the cup of life. No a escape
from these mellow voiced reminders.
To the weary worker in tn garnet
eyrie, the gambler at his table, tie
miser rioting among his gold, the
yotaries of vice in their sin stained
apartments, the loving janglc comes only
as a discord, a harsh reminder ef things
that they care not to remember, of
happy hours in old homasteads when
the breatlpof the God child could be
felt soft and carressing upon the brow,
where hardship and sin and greed had
not placed their mark.
But there are other places where the
merry, golden tongued harmony drops
down in enhancing strains. 1t is out
in the broad, free, open country, where
the song comes lowest to the earth and
the merry bells echo the voice of un-
seen choirs above, away from the haunts
Of vice and busting business cauldron.
Out among the snow clad farm houses
and the half hidden hamlets. Here
happy hearts wake to the sound of the
midnight harmony and listening are
brought closer to the angelic choir
whose heavenly chant-"peace on earth
good will to men'-touches an answer
ing chord and in IA maze of sweet har-
lhony the listener floats away through
the dreamland of the past and awakes
to a merry Christmas morn. Tothe day
which makes all mankin | nearer kin,
to a day Of happiness supreme, blessed
by blessing others, through that joyial
old go-between St. Nicholas, to a day
of feasting and fun, a day when young
hearts beat quicker and old hearts grow
young again.
But as through the sublimest strains
runs a minor chord of sadness, so we,
while absorbing all the happiness Of
this gladstone festival of The nativity,
should

Making Fools or Themselves.

There seems to be an impression
among ome young men that they are
able to drink whiskey and beer with
kperfect safety, notwithstanding that al
coholic drinks have ruined some of the
worlds strongest men, both physically
and Intellectually.
Such seems to have been the idea pos
sessed by three young men who live but
a short distance from the village of Mt.
Hope in this county. These three
young Americans visited Lancaster last
week, and after yainly trying to show
themselves up in good style by smoking
cigars in the most fascinating and be-
~witching and approved manner, and be-
ing but amateurs in this art they sig
nally failed, for before they had got this
important art learned so as to appear at
home in the business and not by mistake
put the wrong end of the cigar
in their delicate mouths, thev filed
up with beer and whiskey and then UNI
dertook to drive home n poor old blind
mare and a borrowed horse that together
made up a team. BY all accounts that
have come to Lancaster, the blind mare
could see fully as well and especially as
straight as the three young men when
they left Lancaster, and doubtless the
mare knew what she was doing and
where She was going fully as well as the
new converts to the god of rum.
To put it mild, these young men dis
graced themselves and their relatives
and friends by their ridiculous and IT.
reyerant treatment ON the road home.
On their lips seemed to be words of
praise, SO far as the words were con-
cerned, but their expressions showed
that the devil of alcohol was in their
brains. Pity the borrowed horse and
the blind mare.
The boys also carried some onions, or
potatoes with them on the road, that
most likely was badly frozen, but doubt
less purer inside than the thoughts and
expressions that eminated from these
young mems badly added brains. The
wonder all along the road is will these
young men dare to show their faces in
respectable society again. Take the
advice of the writer of this and sign the
pledge, live up to it and seek forgive
ness of the outraged public. BE sure
and discard ne idea that you can mas
ter the demon alcohol before he gets too
firm a hold on you and crowds you into
a premature grave unhonored and I'M
loved. Take the advice of your parents.
acknowledge the wrong you have done,
and atone for it in the future by merito-
rious acts, and you will live to be hon
ored and respected. Another such an
outrageous visitation of other peoples
rights will cause Your names to appear
in print. "a FRIEND"
