THE RISING RIyER,


Iis Height will Probably be Reached
To.day-Teiegraphie Reports.
The river wrs one Of tie general topicl Of
conversation yesterday and many visited the
wharf and watched the steadily rising, turbld
stream as 1t swept by, bearing on iis surface
considerable ice, portions Of It in foes that
ground together with sullen sound. Daring
the morning the waters rose rapidly until
?, NJ, when depth OF 10 feet was recorded.
From that time until 10 O'Clock last night the
rise was about inches per hour. This great.
est height will be this morning. 1t
IL still probable that the 80 foot mark
will be- reached, AS will be seen
from the river dispatches given below,
the Monongahela Is falling and the Ailc-
ghany rising slowly. The fact that 1t grew
colder yesterday and lest night will have
much to do 10 holding the food In check.
This, with the timely warning that was given
OF the coming waters, and which wfs taken
advantage OF, will prevent much damage
being done at any point on the river, Is has
been done In the past during rises Of the
E1me proportions.
: The only steamers at thewharf yesterday
were the Courier and Andes. The former
got In In good time and departed ct II for
Petersburg. The Andes did not get In until
daylight, about 12 hours behind time. She
jobbed around In the Ice, picked up about

Something About the Observance orthe
Day In wheeling.

Christmas Is once more thing Of the past.
The days pleasures must again give way TO
humbrnm, workaday existence. 1t is but
one day in three hundred and sixty-AVe,
but year with no Christmas in It
would be to almost any dweller in Chris
tian land blank, in great measure at
least. And the day, II properly observed,
exerts good influence throughout the year.
Unfortunately, large molety OF the peo-
pie OF these United States, or at least OF this
immediate section ofthem, do moi observe the
day properly. eome people on any holiday
are not happy unless they can burn powder
and make noise. These are largely OF tho
rising generation. 0theis, OF the older gen
GRAFTON, cannot let Christmas pass without
getting comfortably full. Such obseryances
OF day with the significance OF Christmas
are OF course grossly ont Of order, but for
years they have been In vogue, and reform
seems to be as far in the future as ever.
Yesterday was observed very much as the
past years. Business, public and private,
was very generally suspended for most OF the
day, and the day partook OF the nature OF
the Sabbath and secular holiday in about
equal proportions. The streets were thronged
with people, especially In the afternoon, but
the city was unusually quiet.
AT THE CHURCHES.
At the Catholic a1d Episcopal churches
the usual special Christmas services were
held, and all were well attended. Most Of
the other churches held their religious ser
vices appropriate to the Chrlstmastide on
last SABBATH, reserving yesterday and last
evening for celebrations by and for the Sum-
day school children.
Among the churches having Sunday School
entertainments Of an appropriate character
last evening were the First Baptist, English
Lutheran, Fourth Street and North Street,
Methodist Episcopal, First Ptesby terrain
school and Eighteenth street Mission school,
st. Pauls German and several others.
At the Baptist church an interesting pro-
gramme was rendered, consisting OF nlscel-
| laneous exercises. A number OF prominent
yocalists sang, and there were also remarks
and speeches by prominent visitors. at the
conclusion OF the entertainment sweetmeats
were distributed to the Sunday school. The
church wa3 handsomely decorated with ever
greene.
Attic North Stree. church an enter!sin-
menE was given consisting Of tableaux, mu-
aic, declarations, recitltions and presenting
gifts. A feature OF this entertainment was q
ship load OF goods, given by the scholars,
teachers and officers for distribution among
the poor, under direction Of the Woman's
Benevolent society.
